All Chapters of Step Daddy’s Naughty Girl : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Calder’s POVI stared at the phone in my hand after Greer ended the call so abruptly. Veda's voice still rang sharp in the suite. She stood near the balcony door in a silk robe her arms crossed tight over her chest. Her eyes narrowed at me with clear suspicion."Who was that Calder? And do not tell me it was nothing."I slipped the phone into my pocket and kept my face calm. Years of boardroom negotiations had taught me how to lie smoothly when needed. "It was a business call. One of the executives in New York ran into an issue with the merger papers. They needed my input immediately."Veda did not buy it. She stepped closer her bare feet silent on the marble floor. "Business? On our honeymoon? At this hour? You expect me to believe that?" She was right. Normal people did not take urgent calls in the middle of the night during their honeymoon. But nothing about my life with Greer had been normal since the night before our wedding. I knew things were not okay. That Derrick guy had seen

Greer’s POVI sat in the back of the car as Diego drove me away from the uncompleted building. My hands would not stop shaking. The image of Derrick slumped in that chair kept flashing in my mind. Blood on his face. His body limp. The dull sounds of fists hitting flesh still echoed in my ears. Calder had not killed him but he came close. Too close. Diego kept his eyes on the road and said nothing. I was grateful for the silence. I could not speak right now. My throat felt tight. When we reached the mansion I thanked him quietly and hurried inside. I went straight to my room and locked the door. My legs felt weak so I sank down onto the bed. Calder had looked so calm while his men beat Derrick. Like he did this kind of thing without a second thought. The man who had wiped my tears after the wedding and protected me from the footage was the same man who ordered someone beaten to the edge of death. He said it was to protect me. But the way he punched Derrick when he mentioned fucking me

Greer’s POVVeda was somewhere in the house. Wells too. But the pull toward him felt stronger than fear right now. He leaned down slowly, giving me time to pull away. When I did not, he kissed me. Soft at first then deeper. His tongue traced my lips and I opened for him. The kiss turned hungry. Possessive. Just like the look in his eyes at the warehouse.I moaned quietly into his mouth. My hands gripped his shirt. He backed me against the desk until I felt the wood press into my lower back. One of his hands slid down my side and under the hem of my dress. His fingers brushed my thigh higher and higher until they reached my panties. "So wet already." He murmured against my lips. "Even after everything you still want me." I nodded breathlessly. "I should not but I do." His fingers pushed the fabric aside and stroked my clit in slow circles. Pleasure shot through me fast. I bit my lip to stay quiet. He slipped two thick fingers inside me pumping steadily while his thumb kept rubbing th

Greer’s POV I didn't realize it was already morning. I went into the bathroom and showered. I stepped out wet in a towel, drying my body. I ended up settling on a black tank top and a long, pair of white jean trousers. A pair of white, low heels to complement. I don't want Veda lecturing me about how to dress.I took one last look at myself in the mirror, adjusting the strap of the tank top and smoothing down the trousers. Simple. Neat. Nothing that would draw questions.Just enough.I stepped out of my room and into the hallway. The mansion was already alive with quiet movement. Staff passing by. Distant voices drifting up from downstairs. Everything felt normal on the surface, like yesterday had never happened.My steps were steady as I made my way down.Veda was in the living room, seated with her legs crossed, a cup of tea in her hand. She looked up the moment I entered. Her eyes moved over me slowly, taking in every detail.“At least you decided to look presentable today,” she s

Greer’s POV After the meeting, the board members, as I finally recognised, left. I had to have a conversation with her. To know what kind of motive she has. I wasn't even interested in it. I know nothing about Rhys' cooperation. I love fashion. I want to own a beauty brand store and a fashion store."I need to talk to you, mother." I blurted."What? If it's going to be about the meeting, it has already been finalized even Calder and Wells have already appended their signatures. Even the board. It's final, Greer. You will be working with me from now on. As my personal secretary." She emphasised the position.I frowned. "Really, Mom? You didn't even ask me. You didn't even ask if I was okay with it. You can't make decisions for me behind my back. It's not done that way."She scoffed. "And why do I need to do that? You are my daughter. Remember you still owe me your life for taking care of you while I left my own life hanging. You deserve to live in my shadow, Greer. You will always bel
