All Chapters of A Night In Daddy's Bed: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

RUBY’S POVFor a moment, neither of us spoke. The air in Harrison’s bedroom suddenly felt too thick to breathe.My eyes stayed glued to the phone in his hand. To the photograph.My stomach twisted violently, it was unmistakably me. Curled slightly on the bed.The silk sheets tangled around my legs. My hair spread across the pillow.The angle of the picture told me something even worse. It had been taken standing right beside the bed. Whoever took it had been close enough to reach out and touch me.A tremor ripped through my body.“Harrison…” My voice came out small and strained.His face hardened instantly. Rage moved through his expression like a shadow.Within seconds he was already dialing a number.“Full security sweep. Now.”He didn’t wait for a response.“Every room. Every corridor. Every balcony. I want every guard moving.”He ended the call sharply before turning back to me.“You’re coming with me.”I nodded automatically, though my legs felt weak, the idea that someone had st

RUBY’S POVThe whisper behind me froze the blood in my veins.“You shouldn’t wear what’s mine.”My heart slammed violently against my ribs.I spun around so fast the room tilted for a moment, my eyes darting toward the open window.“Who’s there?” I demanded, though my voice came out thinner than I intended.The curtain moved with the wind. Nothing else.The garden beyond the window was quiet, the darkness thick beneath the trees. Whoever had spoken was gone.A chill crept slowly down my spine.My hands were trembling again. Scarlett. It had to be her.I backed away from the window, my pulse racing, and hurried toward the door just as footsteps thundered down the hallway.Harrison burst into the room.“Ruby!”“I’m here,” I said quickly.His eyes swept the room in one sharp movement before landing on me.“Did you see her?”My throat tightened.“I heard her.”His expression darkened instantly.“What did she say?”I hesitated.Then quietly repeated the words.“You shouldn’t wear what’s mi

RUBY’S POVMy scream tore out of my throat before I could stop it.“Logan!”The name echoed inside the small panic room, my voice shaking with terror as the metal rod trembled in my hands. Logan stood in the doorway, the gun in his hand steady as he pointed it straight at my face.For a moment, neither of us moved, then his smile spread slowly.“Well,” he said softly, “that was easier than expected.”My heart slammed violently against my ribs. I tightened my grip on the rod, trying to ignore how badly my hands were shaking.His eyes flicked over me like he was studying a prize he had finally caught.“You know,” he added thoughtfully, “you’ve caused a lot of trouble.”Before I could react, footsteps thundered down the hallway outside the panic room.Logan’s eyes shifted briefly toward the door.Then a shadow moved behind him.And suddenly someone slammed into him from the side.The gun fired.The deafening shot rang through the room as Logan crashed against the wall.My breath caught.

RUBY’S POVThe moment the photos leaked, everything changed around my workplace.By the time I arrived at the studio that morning, the entire building felt like a prison.I stepped out of the elevator and immediately felt it.People standing near the reception desk stopped talking the second they saw me approaching.Two assistants who had been laughing seconds earlier suddenly turned their backs to me.My stomach twisted.Madison walked beside me, clutching her tablet like a weapon.“Just ignore them,” she muttered under her breath.Easy for her to say. I could practically feel the judgment in the air.Someone whispered behind me.“That’s her.”Another voice responded.“Seriously? That guy in the photos didn’t even look like Harrison.”My jaw tightened. Madison shot them a glare sharp enough to cut glass.“Don’t engage,” I murmured.But my hands were already shaking. We stepped into the conference room where the board meeting was scheduled.Every seat at the table was filled and every

HARRISON’S POVThe conference room in Grey & Carter Legal was exactly the kind of place people get contracts that will change their lives. Dark wooden panels lined the walls, the long table polished to a mirror finish. The blinds were half drawn against the afternoon sun, leaving the room washed in a muted gold light.Ruby sat beside me at the table. She looked calm, her fingers were folded together neatly in front of her, but I noticed the faint tremble in them every few seconds. Anyone else might have missed it but I didn’t.Across from us, her lawyer flipped through a thick stack of documents.“We can stall the tabloids for now,” the man said, adjusting his glasses. “But eventually they’ll demand a public statement.”Ruby sighed softly.“I figured.”Her voice sounded tired, the past few days had drained her. Hell, they had drained me too.Between the smear campaign, the attacks on the mansion, and the constant gossip around her name, it felt like we were fighting enemies on every s
