Morning arrived quietly over the Harper mansion, but peace was the last thing either of them felt. The first rays of sunlight filtered through the bedroom curtains, casting soft golden streaks across the polished wooden floor. Daniella opened her eyes slowly, still disoriented, until the events of the previous night crashed back into her mind with brutal clarity.

Angela had disappeared.

Someone had threatened her.

And Christian had almost seen the notebook she had been using to

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    The Second key

    Morning arrived quietly, but peace never followed Daniella anymore.She stood in front of the bedroom mirror fastening the buttons of a cream blouse while Christian adjusted the cuffs of his charcoal suit behind her. Neither of them had slept much. Between Emily’s confession, the attempted kidnapping, and the growing pressure from the board, exhaustion had settled into both of them.Christian walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.“You keep disappearing into your thoughts.”She met his eyes through the mirror.“I’m just tired.”“You’ve said that every morning this week.”He turned her gently until she was facing him.“Daniella… whatever this Shadow Council is planning, we’ll stop them. Together.”Her heart squeezed painfully. If only he knew there were still secrets she couldn’t tell him. She forced a smile and kissed him softly.“I know.”His phone vibrated. Marcus. Christian answered immediately.“I’m on my wa

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    The Leak

    The drive back to the mansion was unusually quiet. Rain tapped softly against the windshield as Christian kept both hands firmly on the steering wheel, his jaw tight with concentration. Beside him, Daniella stared out the window, but she wasn’t really seeing the passing buildings. Her mind remained trapped in Marcus’s office, replaying those photographs over and over again.Someone had followed her. Not once. Not twice. For days. Every move she had made had been documented with frightening precision.Christian finally broke the silence. “You’ve been blaming yourself.”She turned to look at him. “I should have been more careful. I shouldn’t have gone after Angela alone.”Christian shook his head. “You weren’t careless. They were prepared.”Daniella sighed heavily. “It still doesn’t change the fact that I walked straight into their trap.”Christian reached across the console and intertwined his fingers with hers, his grip warm and steady. “They wanted informati

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    The Next move

    Morning arrived quietly, but peace was a distant dream.Soft golden sunlight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the master bedroom, casting warm streaks across the silk sheets. Daniella stirred first, her eyes opening slowly. For a few moments, she simply lay there, watching Christian sleep beside her.He looked different when he slept. The hard lines that usually defined his face had softened. His brow wasn’t furrowed with the weight of responsibility, and his lips weren’t pressed into that familiar, determined line. He looked… younger. Almost vulnerable.Her heart tightened with a fierce ache.How many lies had surrounded this man? How many people wanted to destroy him?Carefully, she reached out and brushed a lock of dark hair away from his forehead.Christian caught her wrist without opening his eyes.“You’ve been staring again,” he murmured, his voice husky with sleep.Daniella laughed quietly. “I thought you were asleep.”“I wa

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    His obsession

    Christian Harper had broken every speed limit in the city before. Tonight, he didn’t care if he broke every law. Rain hammered relentlessly against the windshield as his Aston Martin tore through the wet streets, the powerful engine roaring like a beast beneath him. His fingers gripped the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turned white, his jaw locked in a rigid line. Every muscle in his body screamed with unbearable tension.Something was wrong. He couldn’t explain it, but he simply knew. The moment Daniella had answered the phone, he had heard it in her breathing — that slight tremble she tried so desperately to hide. He knew every rhythm of her voice, every pause, every tiny crack in her composure. She had been running. Someone had frightened her. And whoever had done it had just made the biggest mistake of their life.His phone rang through the Bluetooth system. “Marcus.”His head of security answered immediately. “Mr. Harper.”“I want every camera with

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    The Escape

    The footsteps thundered up the narrow wooden staircase, each one louder and more menacing than the last. Emily’s face drained of every trace of color as terror gripped her.“They’re here…” she whispered, her voice barely audible.Daniella grabbed her wrist immediately, her own pulse racing. “Who?”“I don’t know… but they work for them.”Another heavy step echoed. Then another. The old wooden stairs groaned beneath the weight of the approaching men, protesting with every creak that sent fresh waves of fear through Daniella.Without thinking, she scanned the dusty second floor desperately bookshelves lined with forgotten volumes, broken furniture scattered like casualties, and a single emergency exit near the back window. There wasn’t much time.“Come,” Daniella urged, pulling Emily toward the rear of the room.Emily shook her head violently, eyes wide with panic. “No… if they see me they’ll kill me.”“They won’t.”“You don’t understand these people.”“I understand enough,” Daniella sho

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    The Meeting

    Sleep never came easily that night. Daniella lay awake beside Christian, staring at the ceiling while his arm rested comfortably around her waist. His breathing was slow and even, completely unaware of the battle raging inside her mind.Tomorrow. Seven o’clock. Come alone.The mysterious waitress’s words replayed over and over inside her head. She hated lying to Christian. She hated it even more because she knew exactly what he would say if she told him: You’re not going alone. And if he came… the waitress would disappear forever.Daniella carefully slipped out of bed without waking him. She walked barefoot toward the balcony, wrapping her robe tightly around herself as the cool night breeze brushed against her skin. The Harper mansion slept peacefully beneath the moonlight. For a few moments she allowed herself to breathe. To think.Angela. Sophia. Julian. The mysterious man. Now the waitress. Every answer only seemed to create three more questions.A pair of warm hands suddenly wrap

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    A Step Closer

    “What?”The word left Daniella’s lips slowly, almost like she wasn’t sure she had heard him correctly. Her brows pulled together in confusion as she stared at him, searching his face for any sign that this was some kind of joke. But Christian wasn’t smiling. He wasn’t even slightly amused. Hi

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    Dangerous Agreement

    Christian stood in the middle of his room, his chest rising and falling slowly as he stared blankly at nothing. The blood dripping off his hands to the floor reflected the chaos inside him, his hand still bleeding slightly from the force he had used earlier.“Daniella?” He whispered slowly, his mi

    Morning came faster than ever, Christian growled his way out of bed as he headed straight to the bathroom to have a quick shower. His lips were curved into a beautiful smile, today he was going to be having a meeting with Mr Thompson, his stomach twitched a bit, some part of the thought got him a

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    Scandal and Secrets

    Christian’s jaw dropped as he saw the headlines and the picture on David's phone. “What’s this supposed to mean?” He swallowed. “Unfortunately this lady got angry about some unfinished deal with the company and your secretary didn’t handle her deal well, so I think she got upset and is now decidi
