The sound of boots pounding against the metal staircase echoed through the abandoned warehouse, each step louder than the last. Daniella instinctively stepped backward, clutching the old brown envelope tightly against her chest while Emily’s face drained of every trace of color.

“They’re here,” Emily whispered, her breathing becoming uneven. “They’re after the envelope.”

Daniella quickly looked around the second floor. The room was almost empty except for a few broken shelves, rusted

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

    The sound of boots pounding against the metal staircase echoed through the abandoned warehouse, each step louder than the last. Daniella instinctively stepped backward, clutching the old brown envelope tightly against her chest while Emily’s face drained of every trace of color.“They’re here,” Emily whispered, her breathing becoming uneven. “They’re after the envelope.”Daniella quickly looked around the second floor. The room was almost empty except for a few broken shelves, rusted filing cabinets, and shattered windows overlooking the loading yard below. There was nowhere to hide.The footsteps stopped.For one terrifying second, everything became silent.Then the warehouse door below slammed open with a deafening bang.Several voices echoed through the building.“Search every floor!”“They’re still inside!”Emily grabbed Daniella’s wrist.“We have to move.”She pulled her toward the back corridor where another narrow staircase disappea

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

    Rain drummed steadily against the windshield as Daniella tightened her fingers around the steering wheel, Marcus’s SUV remaining several cars behind her exactly as they had agreed, close enough that she could feel the quiet certainty of his presence yet far enough that no watching eye would mark him as anything more than another vehicle on the wet road. Christian had argued with her for nearly thirty minutes before finally allowing her to leave, and even then he had only surrendered because Marcus swore he would never let her slip beyond his sight; she could still feel the reluctant press of his lips against her forehead and the way his arms had held her a fraction longer than usual, as though some deep instinct had already begun to warn him that this afternoon would not end the way either of them hoped.The abandoned warehouse district waited on the city’s forgotten edge where old factories had been left to rot after newer developments claimed the better land, their walls stain

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    A message

    Daniella’s fingers tightened around the folded napkin until the paper crumpled against her palm.Emily isn’t your biggest secret.For several long seconds the words refused to settle. They sat there in clean black ink—simple, deliberate, and terrifying.Christian returned to the table just as she folded the napkin and slipped it into her coat pocket.“Everything okay?”She forced a smile that felt too tight for her face.“Marcus?”“He found nothing unusual. Bennett arrived safely at the safe house.”She nodded absently.“That’s good.”Christian studied her carefully.“You look pale.”“I’m just tired.”He reached across the table and brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear, his touch gentle.“Let’s go home.”She didn’t argue.⸻The drive back to the mansion was unusually quiet.Christian kept one hand on the steering wheel and the other resting over hers. Usually that small contact made her feel anchored. T

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    The letter’s warning

    Christian couldn’t move.The old letter lay open in his trembling hands, the paper soft and yellowed at the edges from years of careful folding. The room had gone completely still. Even the usual low hum of the city beyond the glass seemed to hold its breath.Marcus was the first to speak.“What else does it say?”Christian lowered his eyes back to the page. When he spoke, his voice was quieter than anyone in the room had ever heard it.“My father…” He swallowed. “He knew they would come after Harper Global one day.”Mr. Bennett nodded once, the movement slow and heavy.“He spent years preparing.”Christian continued reading, the words scraping against something raw in his chest.“If you’re reading this, it means I’ve failed to keep them away.”Daniella watched him carefully. This was no longer just another corporate conspiracy. This was something Christian’s father had anticipated years before his death—something he had tried, and ultimately failed, to shield his son from.Christian’

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    The woman who survived

    Christian didn’t leave Daniella’s side for the rest of the evening.After everything that had happened at the safe house, neither of them trusted the silence anymore. Silence had become dangerous. It usually came just before another disaster.The fireplace crackled softly inside the living room as Christian loosened his tie and sat beside her on the couch. His laptop rested open on the coffee table, displaying financial reports neither of them had looked at in almost twenty minutes.Daniella leaned her head against his shoulder.“You should get some sleep.”Christian smiled tiredly.“So should you.”She laughed quietly.“Neither of us is going to.”He kissed the top of her head.“No.”For a few peaceful minutes, they simply sat together. No board meetings. No scandals. No Angela. No Shadow Council. Just the two of them. It almost felt normal. Almost.Christian suddenly broke the silence.“When this is over…”She looked up.

    Chapter 136TOO LATEMarcus didn’t wait another second.“We have to move.”Christian was already halfway to the door before the sentence was finished.“Daniella.”He reached for her hand instinctively.“Stay close.”The urgency in his voice sent a chill through her body.Within moments they were back inside the SUV, tires screeching across the gravel driveway as Marcus sped toward the city. The atmosphere inside the vehicle was suffocating.No one spoke.The only sounds were the engine roaring and the rain beginning to fall once again against the windshield.Daniella’s fingers tightened around the seatbelt.“Do we know who attacked the safe house?”Marcus kept his eyes on the road.“No.”“Our surveillance cameras went offline three minutes before the alarm.”Christian cursed under his breath.“They cut the power.”

    “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 scof

    “I want you to go undercover.” The moment the words left Christian’s mouth, Daniella genuinely thought she had heard him wrongly. She stared at him from across the office, her brows slowly pulling together in confusion while her brain tried to process what he had just said. “W

  • In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer    A Seat she shouldn’t have

    “My secretary,” Christian said simply. “Starting now.” The words did not settle immediately. They hung in the air between them, heavy, unexpected, almost unreal. Daniella stared at him, her brows slowly knitting together as if her mind refused to process what she had just heard.

    The door didn’t just open; it slammed against the wall with enough force to snap Daniella out of whatever storm she had just walked into.She flinched.Her body jerked slightly as her grip tightened around the file in her hand. “Jesus Christ!” she breathed out, her chest rising sharply. “
