Chapter 81: Not All That Glitter Should Be Gold.

Cierra's POV “Blinky?” I whispered, my voice trembling slightly. My heart was hammering in my chest, a mix of disbelief, hope, and fear twisting together like a storm. Blinky’s face lit up instantly, that mischievous grin I had known so well spreading across his features. He dropped his bag, and before I knew it, he hugged me. I felt my knees weaken for a second, but I stepped forward, letting him envelop me in a warm, tight hug. “I can’t believe it’s really you!” I gasped, feeling the tears sting my eyes as I clung to him. His presence was so familiar, so comforting, and yet so shocking. I had imagined this reunion countless times, but nothing had prepared me for the surge of emotions now. “I missed you so much, Cierra!” he said, his voice muffled against my shoulder as he held me close. “I can’t believe how long it’s been. You have no idea how much I’ve thought about you.” I pulled back slightly, just enough to look at his face, and my lips trembled as I whispered, “I missed

Chapter 82: Kill Or Be Killed.

Cierra's POVI watched Blinky step out of the shower, the steam curling around him like a soft haze, and I forced myself to remain calm, pretending nothing had happened.My hands gripped the edge of the counter tightly, knuckles whitening as I tried to steady my breathing.“Good night, Blinky,” I said softly, my voice carrying a polite warmth as I avoided looking directly at him, hoping he wouldn’t notice the tension coiling in my chest.He smiled faintly, giving me a quick nod before disappearing behind the bathroom door to get dressed.His laughter from the shower earlier still echoed in my ears, a familiar sound that reminded me of a time when life had been simpler and unburdened.Once I was sure he was occupied, I slipped out of the room, my heart hammering in my chest.I needed to move fast before my thoughts consumed me.I grabbed my phone, sending a quick message to Mallory: “Don’t freak out. I’m safe. Just need your help tonight.”Her reply came almost instantly: “Breathe, Cie

Chapter 83: No Pain, No Gain.

Cierra's POVI froze in front of the door, my hand trembling violently as it hovered over the handle.Every nerve in my body screamed that he was here.Dominic. My stepfather.The man whose presence alone could make the ground beneath me feel unstable, whose shadow had followed me for more than ten years, threatening the life I had carefully built.My chest tightened with fear, and my stomach churned violently. My knuckles whitened as I gripped the handle, not wanting to face what I feared might be reality.“Please… not now. Please…” I whispered under my breath, my voice cracking.The world around me felt unreal, distorted by the panic coursing through me. Memories of his cold, cruel eyes flashed in my mind.Slowly, I forced my fingers to move, almost as if I were moving underwater. I twisted the handle, my heart hammering so loudly it threatened to drown out everything else.And then, the door opened.It wasn’t him.It wasn’t Dominic.It was Mallory.My chest loosened as relief crash

Chapter 84: Somewhere Between Beginning And End.

Cierra's POVGreg’s scream ripped through the house, tearing me from the fragile calm I had been clinging to all evening.My heart slammed violently against my ribs, my lungs burning as I sucked in air I couldn’t quite hold.My body froze for a second, caught between fear and instinct, while his voice bounced through my skull like a jagged echo.Diego’s voice cut through the chaos. “Greg!” His steps pounded the floor as he sprinted past me.I forced my trembling legs to follow, each step heavier than the last. My stomach twisted violently. Fear crawled up my spine, wrapping icy fingers around my nerves.Thoughts raced uncontrollably...blood I might have missed, evidence I thought we had cleaned, mistakes I could never undo.Please… please let it be nothing.Please.We burst into Greg’s room.Time seemed to stop.Greg stood near the corner, his small body stiff, eyes wide and fixed on something beside his bed. His chest rose and fell in quick, shallow breaths, and my stomach knotted pa

Chapter 85: Dear Weapons.

Cierra's POVThe knock on the door came again, slow and heavy, breaking the quiet of the night in a way that made my entire body freeze.For a few seconds I simply sat there on the bed, staring at the bedroom door as if the sound had somehow come from inside the room instead of the front entrance.My heart started beating faster, each thump loud enough that I could almost hear it in my ears. The house had been calm just moments ago.Greg was asleep in his room, the lights were off everywhere, and the night outside was silent. Yet that knock had suddenly filled the house with tension.Diego lifted his head from the pillow and looked toward the door with a small frown on his face. He looked confused more than anything else, as if he could not understand who would possibly be visiting our house so late at night.“Did you hear that?” he asked quietly, turning his head slightly to look at me.I nodded slowly, though my throat felt tight and dry. I could feel fear slowly building inside my

Chapter 86: XoXo Cierra.

Morning arrived quietly, the soft light of the rising sun slowly spreading across the neighborhood and slipping through the curtains of the houses one after another.The world outside was beginning to wake, but inside the house, the air still carried the heavy silence of night.Diego was the first to wake.He opened his eyes slowly and stretched his arm across the bed, expecting to feel Cierra beside him the way he always did every morning. But his hand only touched the cold surface of the mattress.The space beside him was empty, and the blanket had been pushed aside as if someone had left the bed hours earlier.He frowned slightly, still half-asleep, and turned his head toward the bathroom.“Baby?” he called softly, his voice rough with sleep as he expected to hear her answer from the bathroom or the hallway.There was no reply.Diego sat up slowly, rubbing his face with one hand while his eyes scanned the bedroom carefully. The bathroom door was open, and the lights inside were off

Chapter 87: Hello, StepDad.

Cierra's POVThe hospital room was quiet in a way that made my thoughts louder than they had ever been before.The soft humming of the machines beside my bed filled the air, blending with the distant sounds of footsteps and faint conversations in the hallway outside.I lay still against the pillows, staring at the ceiling while my body felt heavy and weak, as though the simple act of breathing required more strength than I possessed.My head still ached from the injury, a dull throbbing pain that reminded me of the moment everything had gone dark, and every time I closed my eyes I could almost feel the hard stone against my skull again.I slowly turned my head to the side and watched Diego sitting in the chair beside the bed.He looked exhausted, his shoulders slumped slightly as though the weight of the past few days had settled deep into his bones. His eyes were fixed on me with a mixture of relief and worry, and even though he tried to appear calm, I could see the tension hidden b

Chapter 88: Find My First Love.

Cierra's POVThe moment Dominic’s voice filled my ear, something inside my chest twisted so tightly that it felt as though my heart had forgotten how to beat.My hands gripped Diego’s phone with a desperate strength I didn’t know I had, my fingers digging into the plastic, and I stared at the pale hospital wall as if staring hard enough could make the world real.Around me, the quiet hum of the machines was steady and calm, a cruel contrast to the chaos raging inside my body.My pulse thundered, my breath came in ragged gasps, and my thoughts jumbled into a frantic mess that refused to make sense.For several seconds, there was only silence. The kind of silence that presses against your ears and fills your chest with weight.I almost believed the line had connected to the wrong number, that maybe Dominic’s voice was gone forever and I was imagining it.Then came the soft intake of breath on the other side of the line. Slow. Controlled. Patient. And when he spoke my name, the sound mad

Chapter 89: Nowhere.

Cierra's POVThe phone slipped from my hands, clattering to the floor with a sharp, hollow sound that seemed impossibly loud in the quiet hospital room.My chest felt like it had been wrapped in iron, and I gasped for air, clutching Diego’s arm as though it could somehow hold me up.“Cierra! Are you okay?” Diego’s voice broke through the chaos in my mind. His face appeared above me, full of worry, concern wrinkling his brow. “Do I need to call the doctor?”I pressed my hands against his chest, trying to stop him from moving, from taking any action. My breath came in ragged, uneven bursts. “No… no doctor,” I managed to croak, my voice breaking. “Not yet… I… I need… Greg… save… Greg…”Diego froze as his eyes widened. “Greg? What...what do you mean?”I shook my head, unable to form more words. My thoughts were like birds trapped in a cage, flapping so violently that they hurt.Dominic’s voice was still there, echoing inside me...calm, deliberate, terrifying. That voice was a poison I co

Chapter 90: Road That Leads To The Past.

Cierra's POVThe hospital room felt too quiet.I noticed it the moment Diego lifted the phone to his ear. The steady beeping of the heart monitor beside my bed continued in its slow rhythm, and the faint smell of disinfectant still hung in the air, but something about the silence in the room had suddenly changed.It felt heavier now, almost as if the walls themselves were waiting for something terrible to happen.Diego stood a few steps away from my bed with his back half-turned toward me, his phone pressed against his ear.At first, I thought it was just another normal call, but then I saw the way his shoulders slowly stiffened. That was the moment my stomach tightened.Diego was not the kind of man who reacted quickly to problems. He was calm by nature, careful with his words, and usually impossible to shake. But now his posture had changed in a way that made me uneasy.I leaned forward slightly on the hospital bed, trying to listen. A woman’s voice came faintly through the phone, a
