All Chapters of A Night In Daddy's Bed: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

RUBY’S POVThe moment I saw her step out of the SUV, my stomach dropped.Malia Grey.Even from across the long driveway, I could recognize the cold elegance in the way she moved. The headlights from the vehicles illuminated her silhouette as she slowly walked toward the mansion, her long coat swaying slightly with every step.She looked young.Younger than I expected.But the expression on her face made her seem older somehow. Like she had lived with something dark for far too long. There was a heaviness in the way her shoulders carried themselves, a bitterness etched into the sharp lines of her mouth.Hatred.It clung to her like a shadow.Several men climbed out of the SUVs behind her, all dressed in black, all carrying weapons that glinted under the pale lights surrounding the mansion.My heart pounded violently.They were armed.And there were too many of them.I forced myself to move.Adrenaline surged through my body as I hurried away from the shattered window and sprinted acros

Ruby’s POVMy breath left my body in a rush. For a second, the world tilted.The red dot resting on my forehead felt heavier than a gun itself, like it carried the weight of my entire life balanced on that tiny glowing point. My knees nearly buckled beneath me.I couldn’t move. I couldn’t even blink.Every instinct in my body screamed at me to run, but the terrifying truth was that there was nowhere to run.The forest around us had gone silent.Beside me, Hector slowly lifted his hands into the air.Every movement he made was careful. Like one wrong motion would trigger the bullet already waiting for me.Then he stepped in front of me. Shielding me.The red dot slid off my forehead and landed squarely on the center of his chest.My heart lurched violently.“Don’t,” I croaked.My fingers shot forward, grabbing the back of his jacket as I tried to pull him behind me.“They want Harrison, not me.”Hector didn’t move. His body remained solid and still in front of mine.“You don’t know tha

RUBY’S POVEverything that had happened felt like a dream. I still couldn't believe Diane was the one behind the mask and she had tried to kill me. Although she escaped before I could get a proper look, I was still convinced she was the one I saw. If there was one thing I had learned in the past few weeks, it was that chaos had a way of finding me even when I was trying desperately to outrun it.So I did the only thing I knew how to do.I buried myself in work.The moment I stepped into the art consultancy studio that morning, the familiar scent of varnish, canvas, and fresh paint wrapped around me like a protective shield. It was strange how comforting the place felt despite everything that had happened recently.The endless drama that seemed to follow my name like a curse.But here, at least for a few hours, I could pretend that my life was still perfect.The studio was already buzzing with quiet activity. Assistants were cataloging new pieces, the restoration team was arguing over

RUBY’S POV“What is that?” I asked carefully.Asher’s smirk widened.“Something you should see before you make any more… life-altering decisions.”I crossed my arms, instantly suspicious.“If this is another one of your pathetic games, I’m not interested.”His eyes flicked toward the building behind me, the studio where my reputation was currently burning to the ground.“Oh, I think you are.”I stepped around him.“I’m leaving.”But before I could take more than two steps, his hand shot out and grabbed my wrist.“Let go,” I snapped.Asher leaned closer, his grip tightening.“You have no idea who you’re involved with,” he hissed.The words made my chest tighten.“What are you talking about?”“Harrison.”The way he said Harrison’s name made my skin crawl.“You think you know him?” Asher continued quietly. “You don’t.”“Coming from you, that means absolutely nothing.”I yanked my wrist, but his grip didn’t loosen.Instead, he lifted the flash drive slightly between us.“Watch the video,”

RUBY’S POVThe maid’s words barely finished echoing through the hallway before Harrison moved.One second he was standing beside me, the next, he was already halfway down the corridor.“Stay close,” he ordered sharply.I didn’t argue, my heart pounded as I hurried after him, trying to keep up with his long strides as we moved deeper into the mansion.The house that had felt grand and silent minutes ago now seemed tense, like every wall knew something was wrong.Guards rushed past us in the opposite direction, hands gripping radios, voices low and urgent.“What’s happening?” I asked breathlessly.Harrison didn’t slow down.“Someone broke into the security wing.”My stomach dropped.“Inside the house?”“Yes.”A chill ran down my spine.The security wing sat at the far end of the west corridor, a heavily reinforced section of the mansion where Harrison kept all surveillance systems for the property.If someone had managed to get inside there… They had planned this.We turned the corner a
