“Stand straight. If you slouch again you’d walk out of that door and never return.” 

The girl behind Daniella adjusted herself immediately.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered, turning her face around to make sure she didn’t embarrass herself in front of the other girls. 

“Sorry? Really?” another voice scoffed from behind 

“You think he picks weak girls? You’re not even going to stand a chance” the lady standing beside Daniella muttered under her breath. 

“As if any of us would be picked?” A tall slim girl whispered 

The room went silent. It was true Christian Harper had never lived with any woman not even as a house help, he was so tight, mysterious and extremely secretive. 

He’d prefer his male business partners over having any females around, he was already 32 and not ready to settle and get married to any woman, something about him hated the opposite gender with passion, and for some reason this got his mother worried. 

She had tried  several times to hook him up on a blind date but for some reasons the only thing that mattered to Benson was his wealth and his business. 

So right now she’s using a different tactic to get him to get married, by getting him a house help even though he had tons of male cleaners she  just wanted to see a woman in the house. 

Angella on the other hand met Christian at a get together party a few months ago and for some reason she found him not only attractive but  surprisingly sweet, for a man who literally had no social life and would always frown at the sight of a woman. 

She literally became so obsessed and somehow found her way into his home and finally getting to meet his mother, but it was obvious Christian had no interest in her so she automatically became a pest always following his mother around trying to win the heart of a man who had never shown concern to a woman. 

Daniella on the other hand stood on the extreme end of the room, her eyes sharp scrawling through the other girls as she watched them bragged on how they would win the heart of Christian, she smiled softly, her mouth shut. 

The other girls were trying too hard dressed sexually, tight dresses, glossed lips, cleavage on display. 

Every single one of them dressed like they were here to be married and not to get a job. 

Daniella's eyes lingered around the room, she was studying it. 

The light was dim casting a deep red hue across the walls, the kind of lighting that felt controlling, the marble floors were polished to perfection reflecting everything like a mirror. Even the air felt expensive. 

The house seemed a bit off, Daniella knew she didn’t come from wealth but then she had visited some wealthy buildings but this was different, not the guards positioning at the extreme end and standing molded statue or the camera’s carefully hidden where careless eyes couldn’t notice. 

Everything about this place screamed power and gave a mysterious vibe. 

And Daniella noticed it all, because unlike the others she was here on a mission. 

The door flung open, every conversation died instantly. 

A woman in her early 20s walked in, her heels clicking against the marble floors with complete precision. 

Her eyes scanned the room sharp and unimpressed, taking notice of every lady standing in front of her, the perfume she wore suffocating the room but no one dared to make a sound. 

“So this is what you all chose to wear?” Her voice grew angrily 

“You’re invited to work as cleaners not to present yourselves as prostitute to my boyfriend” 

The room burst into confusion, everywhere silent as a grave yard but the confusion in their eyes went unnoticed 

Just by looking at their eyes you could read their hearts. Since when did Christian Harper keep girlfriends? Danielle stayed fixed on the young lady, her eyes without emotions. She was too calm.

Before she could mention another word the door flinged open again and just then she walked in. She needed no introduction, Christian’s mother didn’t need to raise her voice to command attention. 

“Stand properly,” she said, her voice calm but firm, the girls stood in straight lines. 

She walked through them slowly, observing each girl with a level of scrutiny that made it clear she was missing nothing. She lifted the First Ladies chin, turned her around slapped her eyes 

“Hmm… too hard” she was plain 

She moved to the second one tore her top open squeezed her nipples, the girl’s eyes tweaked as she let out a little moan. 

She glared at her and moved over to the third lady. She pushed her hands up, smelt her pit hole, rolled her eyes and now it was time for Daniella she walked up to her and gashed her teeth. 

She pressed her face close to hers and her mouth to her ears she whispered “hope you know you’d never cut the match” her voice thick and serious 

Daniella said nothing, her eyes fixed into thin air and just then the door tore open 

“‘Mom?” A thick strong voice extremely controlling and would definitely turn everyone on 

Christian Harper! He walked into the room unannounced, scanned the girls and then turned back to his mother as if the girls being there had nothing to do with him, In fact they felt like they didn’t exist. 

“Mom I would be leaving for the business deal I would be home late” he softly spoke and made an attempt to walk away 

“Christain?” His mother called shocked at his ignorant behavior 

“Yes mom?” He turned pretending not to notice what was right in front of him 

“This!” His mother signaled him 

“We’ve done this before,” he said, glancing at his mother. “You already know I won’t pick any of them.” 

He turned slightly clearly ready to leave again 

And then he paused and it felt like he had seen wrongly.

His brain caught something, he was sure of it. 

He turned back and looked at the girls, his gaze landing on Daniella. 

She wasn’t trying, she wasn’t competing, the aura from her felt different, she wasn’t even looking at him and this drove him to curiosity. 

Everyone looked at his confused and surprised face, they followed his gaze and yes it was on Daniella. 

Even the lady from earlier was silently watching him. 

Christian stepped close to her, his presence felt heavier but Daniella didn’t flinch. He looked at her trying to figure something out 

“How did she…..” 

“I knew you’d never make the cut” Angella the woman  who walked in earlier snapped 

“You!” His voice brought the room back to its quiet state 

“I will take her” for a moment everyone gazed at each other 

The decision was too sudden, how? What? 

Daniella stood calm, not surprised like she had anticipated this moment all along, his mother nodded her head without question. 

Christain walked out 

“Who are you?” Angella rushed to Daniella grabbing her by the collar but as usual she stayed calculated and quite 

“If you ever go close to my man I will behead you” she was stern, raw and angry.

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    The Forgotten Key

    The rooftop garden of Harper Global shimmered under soft string lights as Daniella stepped out into the cool night air. The city sprawled below like a living map of power and secrets. Julian waited near the glass railing, two glasses of wine in hand, but this time there was no smug smile only a serious, almost urgent look in his eyes.“You’re playing a dangerous game coming here,” he said, handing her a glass. “But I think you already know that.”Daniella didn’t drink. “You said you had proof. Show me.”Julian pulled out a sleek black USB drive. “This isn’t just about Sophia. The pregnancy lie is a distraction. The real threat is something much older a hidden vault in the company’s original headquarters. Christian’s father locked away documents that could destroy the entire Harper empire… or save it. The Shadow Council has been searching for the key for years. I think I found it.”Daniella’s breath caught. “What kind of documents?”“Proof of the real killer of

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    The Turning Tide

    The press conference room at Harper Global was packed. Cameras flashed relentlessly as Christian stood at the podium, Daniella by his side. The air was thick with tension, reporters shouting questions from every direction.“Mr. Harper, is the child yours?”“Will you take a public DNA test?”“Is your relationship with Ms. Cruz over because of this scandal?”Christian raised a hand, his voice calm but commanding. “The pregnancy claim is false. I have never been romantically or physically involved with Sophia Laurent. Independent tests are being conducted as we speak. We will release the results when they are available. In the meantime, I ask for patience and respect for my privacy.”Daniella stood tall beside him, the perfect image of support. Inside, she was a storm. The money transfer to her uncle had gone through four million this time, siphoned through a series of shell accounts she had carefully hidden. The amounts were growing. The risks were mounting. And e

    The private hospital lounge felt smaller with every passing second. The doctor’s words still hung in the air like smoke after an explosion: “Mr. Harper is the father.”Sophia Laurent stood with a triumphant smile, one hand resting protectively over her belly. But inside, her mind was racing back to the night it all began.Two months earlierSophia sat in the dimly lit corner of an exclusive rooftop bar, nursing a glass of expensive champagne. Across from her were two women who had become unlikely allies in their shared hatred for Christian Harper and the newcomer who had stolen his attention Angela and a woman named Sharon, a sharp-tongued socialite with deep connections in the city’s elite circles.Angela leaned forward, her eyes glittering with malice. “He’s parading that little maid around like she’s queen of the empire. Daniella Cruz. She thinks she can just walk in and take what’s mine.”Sharon sipped her drink, smiling coldly. “Men like Christian don’

    The storm outside had not let up by morning. Rain lashed against the windows of the mansion as Daniella stood in the kitchen, nursing a cup of coffee she barely tasted. Her body still carried the marks of the night before faint bruises on her hips from Christian’s grip, the pleasant ache between her thighs that reminded her how completely he had owned her. Yet the pleasure felt distant now, overshadowed by the growing storm inside her.Christian descended the stairs, dressed for battle in a tailored black suit. His jaw was set, eyes determined, but she could see the exhaustion etched into the lines of his face. The scandal had broken wide open overnight. Every news outlet, every social media platform, every board member’s inbox was flooded with Sophia’s claims.He crossed the room and pulled her into his arms, kissing her forehead. “I have back-to-back meetings today. Independent labs are running new tests. My legal team is preparing statements. We’ll end this.”Daniell

    The morning after the hospital confrontation dawned gray and heavy over the city. Daniella stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows of Christian’s master bedroom, wrapped in a silk robe, watching the rain streak down the glass. Her body still ached from the night before the possessive way he had taken her, the way she had fallen apart under his touch. But the pleasure felt tainted now, overshadowed by the bombshell at the hospital.Pregnant.The word kept echoing in her head. Sophia Laurent, claiming to carry Christian’s child. A child that, according to the rigged test, was his. Daniella’s hand unconsciously moved to her own flat stomach, where she had violently ended her own pregnancy just days ago. The emptiness there felt like a wound that refused to close.Christian emerged from the bathroom, freshly showered, towel around his waist. His muscular body was still damp, water droplets tracing the defined lines of his abs and the sharp V that disappeared beneath the towel

    The ride back home was quiet, it wasn’t because they had nothing to say but the day's activity kept replying on their head. Daniella as usual placed her head outside the window, the win hitting her face as the car drove in full speed, she opened her mouth playing with the wind as the move, Christi

    Christian stood in the middle of his room, his chest rising and falling slowly as he stared blankly at nothing.
