Off Limit: Claimed By My Ex-fiance's Step-dad
Tears broke down heavy again, hot and endless, as I whispered into the phone, my voice cracking and desperate.
“Daddy…”
Ryder’s voice came through the phone, low and rough with worry.
“Bunny? What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

I couldn’t stop crying. Hot, ugly tears kept gushing down my face, blurring my vision, dripping off my chin onto the floor. My shoulders shook violently with each sob as I clutched the phone tighter to my ear, my knuckles turning white. Nanny Grace stayed right behind me, her warm hand rubbing slow, soothing circles on my back while she murmured gently, “Shush… it’s okay, princess. I’m here.”
