Ouchhh Step-Daddy: Our Dirty Secret behind closed doors Chapter 92: The Intruder in the Guest House
Emily’s POVThe London judge actually signed the order.For the six-month period before the final custody hearing, Charlotte was granted co-parenting access. And because the court wanted "domestic stabilization" for Julian, she was allowed to live on the Greenwich estate grounds in the secondary guest house until the trial.The twelve-hour flight back to New York was filled with a heavy, suffocating silence.By the time our armored Suburbans pulled through the iron gates of Greenwich on Tuesday evening, the sun was sinking behind the trees, painting the sky in a dark, bruised purple.We barely stepped through the front doors of the main mansion before a silver sports car came roaring up the gravel driveway behind us.Charlotte had arrived.She stepped out of the low sports car wearing a white trench coat, oversized sunglasses, and high heels that clicked sharply against the stone. Behind her, a delivery truck unloaded six massive leather wardrobe trunks."Make sure my luggage goes dir
Ouchhh Step-Daddy: Our Dirty Secret behind closed doors Chapter 91: Charlotte filed for Co-Parenting and wants to move into our estate with us!!
Emily’s POVThe High Court of Justice in London looked like something straight out of a gothic movie. Dark oak paneling, soaring stained-glass windows, and stern judges sitting in heavy wool wigs and black robes.Outside, the British media was throwing an absolute fit. Headlines splashed across every newsstand in Mayfair: THE WALKER CUSTODY CLASH: CAN AMERICAN MILLIONS BEAT BRITISH BLOOD?Inside, the air was cold enough to freeze your breath.For three straight days, our lead British barrister, Lord Sterling, had been locked in a brutal, exhausting legal deadlock against Charlotte’s high-society legal team. And unlike Manhattan, the London court was playing by completely different, agonizingly strict rules."Your Honor," Charlotte’s lead barrister, Sir Reginald, announced with a haughty, aristocratic accent, bowing slightly to the bench. "Julian Walker was born on British soil. He holds a British passport, attends a British preparatory academy, and his mother’s family has served the C
Ouchhh Step-Daddy: Our Dirty Secret behind closed doors Chapter 90: Julian’s curiosity and the international law suit
Emily’s POVThe bedroom door clicked shut, and I let out a long, shuddering breath I felt like I’d been holding for ten minutes.Daniel walked back into the dim glow of the master suite, tying his silk robe loosely around his waist. He looked completely unbothered on the outside, but the slight twitch in his jaw gave him away instantly."Is he back in bed?" I whispered, pulling my robe tighter around my chest and trying to flatten my wild, tangled hair."He took three sips of water, asked if the house had a ghost because the walls were making noises, and fell right back asleep," Daniel said, his voice deep and raspy in the quiet room.A loud, breathless laugh bubbled up out of my throat before I could stop it. "A ghost, Daniel?! Oh my god!"Daniel stepped over the discarded clothes scattered on the floor, a dark, wicked smirk pulling at the corner of his lips as he climbed back onto the mattress beside me."You were screaming loud enough to wake the dead, little bird," he murmured, pu
Ouchhh Step-Daddy: Our Dirty Secret behind closed doors Chapter 89: Julian almost saw me riding his dad's dick
Emily's POVThe bedroom door clicked shut behind us, and something shifted in the air.Daniel's mouth was on mine before I could take another breath, his hands sliding down to grip my hips with a possessiveness that made my knees buckle. The kiss from the balcony had been tender—a promise. This was something else entirely."Julian's door," I gasped against his lips. "Is it—""Closed." His voice came out rough, scraped raw. "Soundproofed wing. Grace is in the east quarters."His fingers found the zipper at the back of my dress and pulled it down in one slow, deliberate motion. The silk pooled at my feet."Daniel—""I've waited," he said, walking me backward toward the bed. "Weeks of lawyers. Courtrooms. Watching you fight for my son." His silver eyes were nearly black in the dim light. "I'm done waiting."The backs of my knees hit the mattress, and I fell onto it, bouncing slightly. He stood over me, pulling his tie loose with one hand, then his shirt buttons with the other, revealing
Ouchhh Step-Daddy: Our Dirty Secret behind closed doors Chapter 88: Becoming a Stepmother at 21
Emily’s POVThe heavy iron gates of the Greenwich estate slid open as our armored convoy pulled into the long, winding driveway.For the first time in over a month, the crushing weight hanging over us was gone. Charlotte’s legal team was utterly ruined, Victoria was back behind bars where she belonged, and the court had officially granted Daniel temporary sole custody.I looked over at the seat beside me. Julian was staring out the tinted window at the sprawling green lawns, his small hands holding his seatbelt tight. He still looked so cautious, as if he expected someone to suddenly wake him up and tell him it was all a dream.Daniel unbuckled his seatbelt, turning in his leather seat to look at his son. "We're home, Julian."Julian looked up, his silver eyes wide as he looked at the massive stone mansion. "This whole place is yours, Dad?""It's ours," Daniel corrected gently, his deep voice thick with warmth as he reached out and patted Julian's knee. "It's your home now, son."As s
Ouchhh Step-Daddy: Our Dirty Secret behind closed doors Chapter 87: The Court Hearing
Emily’s POVThe four black armored Suburbans ground to a halt right in front of the grand marble steps of the Uptown Charlotte Supreme Courthouse.Outside the tinted bulletproof windows, the scene was absolute bedlam. Hundreds of news cameras, flashing bulbs, and shouting journalists packed the plaza. Paparazzi were climbing on concrete barriers, and police officers in heavy tactical gear were struggling to keep the crowd back.And right at the top of the courthouse steps, posing side-by-side like twisted royalty, stood my mother, Victoria, and Lady Charlotte Montgomery.They had brought a joint team of fifteen defense attorneys in custom suits, holding a live press conference right on the court plaza. Victoria was wearing an expensive fur-trimmed coat, holding her head high, while Charlotte stood beside her looking cold, polished, and arrogant."...and we are here today to ensure justice is finally served!" Victoria was dramatically declaring into a sea of microphones. "Daniel Walker
