The second Daniella realized what she had done, her eyes widened dramatically.

“Oh my God.”

Christian looked down slowly at the vomit covering the front of his expensive black shirt before closing his eyes briefly like he was questioning every life decision that had brought him to this exact moment.

Around them, several guests stared openly.

A few women gasped quietly.

Someone even whispered, “Did she just throw up on Christian Harper?”

Daniella immediately covered her

  • 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

    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 moment Daniella ended the call, her entire expression changed instantly. The softness disappeared. The tension returned. Slowly, she slipped her phone back into her purse before taking a deep breath and walking back into the ballroom like nothing had happened.

    Daniella froze completely after hearing the man’s words. For a few seconds, she simply stared at him like her brain had stopped functioning properly. Her breathing slowly became uneven while her fingers tightened against the ropes tied around her wrists. The room suddenly felt too small. Too cold

Most people had already begun adjusting their seats and gathering their belongings, but Daniella remained completely unaware of any of it. Curled comfortabl

    The following morning, Daniella woke before sunrise. For the first time in days, she actually felt excited about something. The thought of leaving the city, even if it was only for a business trip, felt strangely refreshing. After taking a quick shower, she stood in front of her wardrobe for severa
