Semua Bab All That Glitters Is My StepDad.: Bab 131 - Bab 140

"Okay, this is it." The words echoed in Cierra’s head as she forced her feet to move forward, her heels clicking sharply against the polished floor.She turned the corner, her gaze fixed ahead, lips parting as she prepared to call out his name but a voice cut through her thoughts. “Oh, hello.” Cierra froze mid-step, her body going stiff for a brief second before she slowly turned around.The maid stood a few steps behind her, her head slightly tilted. “I saw you walking toward the mansion..” the maid said gently, her tone polite but questioning, her gaze not leaving Cierra’s face. “Is everything okay, ma’am?”Cierra’s mind scrambled for a response, her heartbeat thudding loudly in her ears.For a split second, she said nothing, then quickly forced a small smile onto her lips, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Yes… yes, everything is fine, I just wanted to check if my dad is with Greg.”The maid’s expression shifted slightly as she processed the answer, her brows relaxing just a

Cierra's POV I stood frozen in the middle of the bathroom, my phone still clutched tightly in my hand, my fingers trembling so badly I could barely feel them anymore.My eyes were locked on Jonathan’s body lying on the floor, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t look away.The blood had spread farther now, staining the tiles in an uneven shape that made my stomach twist every time I focused on it. My chest felt tight, like something heavy was sitting on it, and every breath I took came out shaky and uneven.“I didn’t mean to…” I whispered again, but the words sounded empty, like they didn’t belong to me. Nothing changed. He still wasn’t moving.The silence in the room pressed against my ears, thick and suffocating, and for a moment I thought I was going to lose control completely.My thoughts were spinning too fast, jumping from one fear to another without stopping. I kept replaying it in my head, the moment it happened, the way everything shifted so quickly that I didn’t even

Cierra's POV I hit the wall hard as Yonda held me firmly in place with one hand gripping my shoulder tightly and the other pressing the cold barrel of the gun right against my chest.My heart was beating so fast it felt like it would burst out of my body and I could barely catch my breath in the heavy silence of the room.“Yonda no... Yonda hold on, hold on, don’t do that what are you trying to do!” I said quickly my voice shaking with panic as fear started to rise inside me like a wave.She laughed softly at first then had a low cold sound that echoed slightly off the high ceilings and made my skin crawl because it did not sound like my sister at all.Her eyes looked wild and distant like something inside her had broken and I no longer recognized the person standing in front of me.“Okay so let me explain myself well” she said still smiling in that twisted way that sent chills down my spine. “I am Yonda you definitely know me as your sister right?..”I stared at her completely confu

Cierra's POV A gentle tap on my shoulder pulled me out of the darkness.I blinked slowly. My eyes felt heavy, swollen, and blurry, like someone had poured sand into them.The world refused to come into focus at first, everything was soft and hazy around the edges. I blinked again and again, trying to clear the fog.My head pounded with a dull, relentless ache and when my vision finally sharpened, I realized I was in a small, sterile room.It looked like a private ward, cold and impersonal....White walls, a single bench I was lying on, no other furniture, no windows, just a heavy metal door.There were no personal things here. No flowers, no cards, nothing that said “home” or even“hospital.”. Just emptiness.A tall man dressed in a security uniform stood a few feet away, arms folded, staring down at me with a blank expression.I shot upright so fast that dizziness hit me. “Where am I? Where the hell am I?” My voice came out hoarse and cracked. “Greg! Greg! Where is my son? Greg!”The

The room erupted in a surreal, ethereal glow, as if the very air had ignited with collective shock. Fluorescent lights flickered wildly overhead, casting an otherworldly halo across the chaos. "Cierra! Cierra!" The screams tore through the space like a primal roar, echoing off the walls, a cacophony of horror and disbelief.Bodies pressed forward, hands reaching out in futile desperation.Cierra staggered, her eyes widening in shock as the bullet's impact slammed into her.She dropped to her knees, blood blooming across her chest like a dark rose. As her body pitched forward, Dominic exploded into motion.He surged through the crowd with raw fury, his fellow officers clawing at his trousers, their shouts blending into the pandemonium.He broke free, and headed before the trembling security guard who had pulled the trigger."I'm so sorry!" the man wailed, hands clasped together, tears streaming down his face. "I swear I did not know what came over me! I thought she was about to run off
