“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 Second man 2

    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

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

    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

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    Where it all began

    They barely made it out of the old Harper estate before another explosion shook the building behind them.Daniella stumbled as the ground trembled beneath her feet. Christian caught her around the waist and pulled her toward the waiting car.“Get in!”Elena climbed into the back seat while Daniella and Christian got in front. Christian started the engine and sped away from the estate.For several minutes, nobody spoke.Daniella looked through the rear window as smoke rose above the trees.Her mother’s hand rested on her shoulder.“You’re really alive,” Daniella whispered.Elena gave a small, sad smile.“I am.”Daniella looked at her reflection in the mirror.“I don’t know how to feel about this.”“You don’t have to know yet.”“I spent thirteen years thinking you were dead.”“I know.”“I missed you.”Elena’s eyes filled with tears.“I missed you too.”Daniella turned around.“Then why didn’t you come back?”Elena looked down.“Because the first time I tried, someone found me.”“Who?”“

    The hot liquid hit her skin before her brain could process what was happening. “Aharhhhh!” Daniella staggered back instantly, the tray slipping slightly from her grip as the coffee soaked into her cloth. She glared at him hard, tears building up in her eye lids, a smirk escaping her lips, of

    Daniella's eyes jerked open as tears rolled down from them, she slowly wiped the tears away trying to clear her vision still figuring out where she was, her brain relaxed and flicked back, of course this was her first night in this house. She yawned uncontrollably as she stretched her way out of
