The rooftop garden of Harper Global was quiet under the midnight sky, the city lights twinkling below like a sea of distant stars. Daniella stepped out of the elevator, her heart pounding so hard she could feel it in her throat. The cool night air brushed against her skin, carrying the faint scent of night-blooming flowers from the planters. She had slipped out of the mansion in a simple black coat, telling Christian she needed fresh air after another long day of damage control. The lie tasted b

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    The Last Memory

    Daniella remained in her father’s bedroom long after the others had left the room.The photograph was still in her hand. She had stared at it so many times that the faces had begun to blur, yet she couldn’t bring herself to put it down. Her father stood in the center, exactly as she remembered him. Beside him was Julian, the man she had once believed was one of the few people her father trusted completely. And behind them stood her uncle, wearing the same silver watch she had seen on the mysterious man in the photograph.There was no denying it anymore.Her uncle had been there.He had been in the room when her father died.And he had lied about it for thirteen years.Christian stood quietly near the doorway, giving her the space she needed. He hadn’t said much since they discovered the photograph. Daniella knew he was hurting, but she also knew he was trying not to make her pain about himself.Eventually, she placed the photograph on the bed.“I remember something else.”Christian’s

    Daniella stared at the injured man on the floor, unable to shake the words he had just spoken. “You’ve been looking for the wrong monster.”Her eyes moved slowly toward her uncle. The room seemed to grow smaller as she studied his face, searching for another lie. There had been too many already. Too many secrets, too many carefully constructed stories, too many years of believing something that had never been true.“Who ordered you to kill my father?” she asked.Her uncle remained silent.Christian stepped forward, his expression hardening. “Answer her.”The man’s eyes flickered toward Christian before a faint smile appeared on his bloodied face. “You really believe him?”Christian’s jaw tightened. “Believe who?”The man laughed weakly. “Everyone in this story has been lying.”Daniella crouched in front of him. “Then start telling the truth.”He looked at her for several seconds before speaking. “Your father wasn’t killed because of Crown Meridian.”Daniella’s eyes narrowed. “My uncle

    The footsteps outside the house grew louder.Daniella stood in the middle of her father’s old bedroom, still holding the recorder. Her heart was pounding, but for once, fear wasn’t controlling her.She knew the truth now.Her uncle had killed her father.The only thing she didn’t know was who had helped him.Christian moved toward the door and quietly checked the hallway.“Three men,” he said. “Maybe more outside.”Daniella looked at her uncle.“Who are they?”“I don’t know.”“You’re lying.”Her uncle’s eyes met hers.“I don’t know who Adrian sent.”“Adrian?”“He’s been trying to get the ledger for years.”Christian turned sharply.“You said Adrian wasn’t the person behind Crown Meridian.”“He isn’t.”“Then why does he want the ledger?”“Because the ledger contains evidence against him.”Daniella frowned.“Evidence of what?”Her uncle hesitated.“Things he did after your father died.”Christian stepped closer.“And the man who helped you kill Daniel?”Her uncle’s expression changed.“

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    The House of Lies

    Daniella didn’t speak during the drive back to the old house.She sat beside Christian in silence, staring through the window while her uncle drove ahead of them. Every word he had spoken at the training compound kept replaying in her mind.I created Crown Meridian.I killed your father.I trained you to become a weapon.She had spent thirteen years believing her uncle had saved her from the monster who murdered her father. She had trusted every lesson, every warning and every piece of information he had given her.Now she couldn’t tell which memories were real and which had been carefully constructed for her.Christian reached across the space between them and took her hand.Daniella looked down at their joined fingers.“I don’t know who I am anymore.”Christian’s voice was quiet. “You don’t have to figure that out tonight.”“He made me.”“No.”She looked at him.“He trained you. That’s different.”“It doesn’t feel different.”“It is.”Daniella swallowed.“My entire life has been bui

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    THE TRAINING GROUND

    The drive to the training compound felt longer than it should have.Daniella sat in the back seat beside Christian while Elena remained in the front. Her uncle drove without saying a word.The silence was suffocating.Daniella kept staring at the back of his head, trying to reconcile the man she knew with the confession he had just made.He was the man in her childhood memory.The man standing over her father’s body.The man whose face she had spent thirteen years trying to remember.And he was the same man who had spent those thirteen years training her.Christian reached for her hand.She hesitated before allowing him to hold it.“You don’t have to do this tonight,” he said quietly.“Yes, I do.”“Why?”“Because if I stop now, I might never be able to face it.”Christian squeezed her hand.“Then I’ll be there.”Daniella looked at him.“I don’t deserve you.”His expression tightened.“Don’t say that.”“I lied to you.”“You didn’t know the truth.”“I still entered your house planning t

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    The Man who trained her

    Adrian’s voice still echoed through the cellar.“You should never have opened that door.”Daniella stood completely still, the black ledger pressed against her chest. Christian was beside her, his gun raised toward the staircase, while Elena stood behind them. Her uncle remained near the metal safe, watching the darkness above.But Daniella wasn’t thinking about Adrian.She was thinking about her uncle.For years, he had been the person she trusted most.The man who had raised her after her father’s death.The man who had taught her how to fight.The man who had taught her how to read people, manipulate situations, control her emotions and never hesitate when the time came to hurt someone.He had taught her everything she knew about revenge.And now she was beginning to wonder why.Christian’s voice broke through her thoughts.“We need to move.”Daniella looked at him.“Where?”“There’s another exit.”Her uncle immediately shook his head.“No.”Christian turned toward him.“Why?”“Bec

    “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

    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

    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

    “Boss, are you okay?”David's voice sounded distant, more like it was coming from under water. Christian didn’t answer immediately. His fingers tightened around the glass, his jaw clenched as he stared into thin air unfocused. He wasn’t ok, he couldn’t take it anymore, his
