In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer The woman who raised her
Daniella read the sentence again.Ask the woman who raised you where she buried it.Her fingers tightened around the paper.Christian stood beside her, watching her carefully. “Daniella?”She didn’t answer.Her mind had already gone to one person.Maria.Aunt Maria had been part of her life for as long as she could remember. After her father’s death, Maria had stayed with Daniella and her uncle. She had cooked for her, taken care of her, comforted her through nightmares and helped her survive the years after losing her father.Maria had been family.But apparently, she had also been keeping secrets.“Christian,” Daniella finally said, “we need to find Maria.”He looked at the note.“Your aunt?”Daniella nodded.“She knows where my mother’s diary is.”Christian’s expression hardened. “Then we ask her.”They drove to Maria’s house.Daniella spent the entire journey trying to remember anything unusual about her aunt. There had always been things she couldn’t explain.Maria never liked di
In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer The Locked Room
Christian killed the engine, but neither of them moved.The old Harper house stood before them in complete darkness except for the single illuminated window on the second floor. Daniella stared at it, trying to convince herself there was a reasonable explanation for the light.There wasn’t.“Someone is inside,” she whispered.Christian reached beneath his seat and pulled out the gun.Daniella’s eyes immediately went to it. “Are you carrying that now?”“Considering everything that’s happened tonight, yes.”“You could have mentioned that before.”“You probably would have told me it wasn’t necessary.”“It wasn’t.”Christian gave her a look.Daniella sighed. “Fine. Maybe it was.”He checked the weapon before putting it beneath his jacket.“Stay behind me.”Daniella opened her door.“Don’t even start.”Christian caught her wrist before she could step out. “I’m serious.”“So am I. My father is connected to whatever is inside that house, my uncle has disappeared, Gabriel knows more than he’s
In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer The Music Box
The hidden passage was barely wide enough for two people to walk side by side. Christian kept one hand around Daniella’s wrist as they moved through the darkness, while the sound of footsteps above them became fainter with every second.Daniella’s mind was still trapped in the underground room.Her uncle was still there.Gabriel was still there.And whoever had arrived at Crown Meridian had been frightening enough to make Gabriel himself afraid.“Christian,” she whispered.“Keep moving.”“We can’t leave them.”“We’re not leaving them forever. We’re getting out so we can figure out what we’re dealing with.”“But my uncle—”“Daniella.” Christian stopped and turned toward her. “If we go back there without knowing how many people are upstairs, we won’t save him. We’ll just give them two more people to capture.”She hated that he was right.She swallowed and continued walking.A few minutes later, the passage opened into an old maintenance room behind the building. Christian pushed through
In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer The man she remembered
Daniella couldn’t move.The man standing at the bottom of the staircase looked older than he had in her childhood memory, but there was no mistaking him. The scar near his left eyebrow was still there. So was the black ring on his finger, its silver symbol catching the faint emergency light.She had seen him before.She had trusted him before.And somehow, she had never known his name.“Gabriel,” her uncle whispered.The man’s mouth curved into a small smile. “It’s been a long time.”Daniella’s stomach twisted.Christian immediately stepped in front of her. “You know him?”Gabriel’s eyes moved toward Christian. “Of course I know him. I knew his father too.”Christian’s posture hardened. “Then you know exactly what happened thirteen years ago.”Gabriel chuckled. “You still sound like Samuel when you’re angry.”“Don’t mention my father.”“Why? Because you still believe everything he told you?”Christian took a step forward.Daniella grabbed his arm.“Don’t.”Gabriel’s eyes returned to h
In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer The Other brother
Daniella read the message three times before she handed the phone to Christian.But you’re still blaming the wrong brother.His expression shifted the moment the words registered. He did not ask who the message meant. They both already knew.Her uncle had a brother.A brother she had never heard of.A brother her father had apparently known.A brother connected to Crown Meridian.And now someone was telling her she had spent thirteen years blaming the wrong one.“Who is my uncle’s brother?” she asked.Christian looked up. “That’s what we’re going to find out.”He called the security team at once and ordered a full search of every available record connected to her uncle. Daniella paced beside the desk while he spoke, her mind looping back to the recording. Her father’s voice. Samuel Harper’s name. The unidentified man. And the sentence that had been cut short just as it reached the most important word.His name is—For thirteen years she had believed her uncle was the one who held ever
In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer The Recording
The drive sat on the center console between them, small and ordinary and somehow heavier than anything else in the car. Daniella could not stop staring at it. A few megabytes. That was all. Yet the file name burned behind her eyes.10-17-13.mp3.The date her father died.The date Samuel Harper—and possibly others—had gathered at Crown Meridian.The date that had sat at the center of her life for thirteen years like a stone she could never quite dislodge.Christian drove with both hands locked on the wheel, jaw set, expression unreadable. They had barely spoken since leaving the Crown Meridian building. The silence felt denser than the traffic around them.Daniella finally broke it.“You heard what he said.”Christian’s grip tightened. “I heard him.”“He said your father knew.”“I know.”“About what happened to mine.”He glanced at her, then back to the road. “We don’t know that yet.”“The message on the phone said my father discovered something about Samuel.”Christian said nothing.S
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
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
In Love with my Father’s Serial Killer Smoke under Silence
“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
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
