All Chapters of A Blissful Night with My Step-Father: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Ginny paced outside the private clinic on the estate, her arms wrapped tightly about her as worry clawed at her insides.Raymond had fallen without warning, his body going slack and unresponsive while she'd fought to get him to assistance.The doctors hadn't told her much, only that they were running tests to figure out what was its cause.Mrs. Taylor?" A voice cut into her thoughts, and she turned to see Dr. Langston, the estate physician, standing in the doorway.His expression was carefully neutral, but something in the weight behind his eyes made her stomach drop."Is he all right?" she asked quickly, stepping forward.Dr. Langston nodded, though his hesitation didn't quite slip by her. "Mr. Taylor is stable for the time being. Physically, he seems fine, but... there are signs of significant stress on his memory function."Ginny frowned. "Memory function?Dr. Langston sighed and waved at her to follow him inside. She followed him into Raymond's room, where he lay propped up on the

This estate loomed dark and silent as Ginny, Joshua, and Annabella crept toward the guest house, with tension heavy in the air.The only sounds they made were muffled footsteps, sometimes accompanied by the sound of leaves rustling in the wind.Annabella had insisted on bringing them here, maintaining that Lucy's latest meeting could provide them with critical evidence of her plans."Are you sure about this?" Joshua whispered, his voice barely audible.Annabella shot him a sharp look. "If I wasn't, you think I'd risk getting dragged into this mess? Trust me, Lucy's meeting with someone important tonight, and it's not for tea and biscuits.The only sound from Ginny was the soft crunching of gravel beneath her feet, her eyes never leaving the darkened building ahead.Her heart pounded with every step as fear and determination mixed in her chest.If they could uncover Lucy's plans tonight, it could be the turning point they desperately needed.As they approached the guest house, Annabell

The house was unnervingly quiet as Ginny descended the staircase the next morning. The air seemed heavier, thick with unspoken tension.The meeting of the board had rattled Lucy's veneer, carefully built, but Ginny knew it would not be enough to bring her down.She was the type that would never raise the white flag in defeat, and Ginny had no illusions that her mother would simply walk away.By the time she made it down the stairs, Joshua was waiting for her in the sitting room pacing, hands in his pockets, with a very worried expression.She's furi­ous, he said the moment Ginny entered.Ginny folded her arms. "Did you talk to her?""She didn't have to say much," Joshua replied. "She spent half the night on the phone, and from what I overheard, she's planning something big. She's not going down without a fight, Ginny."Ginny's jaw clenched, a spark of determination firing up in her chest. "Then we need to be ready.Joshua nodded, though his expression remained uncertain. “It’s not jus

The air in the meeting room was thick with tension as the board debated. Ginny stood firm, her hands gripping the edge of the table as she watched the members deliberate.Lucy sat opposite him, exuding icy confidence, her fingers tapping lightly against the polished wood."This vote is unnecessary," Lucy said, her voice smooth but sharp. "I've given my life to this family and this estate. No one here can honestly say I haven't acted in its best interest."Ginny did not budge. She returned her mother's gaze with stout determination. "This is not about loyalty, Mom. It is about accountability, and the evidence speaks volumes."Lucy's eyes narrowed; before she could speak, Mr. Caldwell cleared his throat to get the room's attention."Ladies and gentlemen," he began, the weight of his voice as heavy as authority could get. "Obviously, we stand at the crossroads. The accusations brought against Mrs. Brooks are serious and, if true, carry with them severe consequences as far as the future o

Annabella’s words echoed in Ginny’s ears as she stepped aside, allowing her stepsister into the room.The tension in the air was palpable, and Ginny could feel her pulse quickening.“What do you mean she’s planning something?” Ginny asked, her voice low but urgent.Annabella closed the door behind her, glancing back over her shoulder as though Lucy might be lurking in the shadows."She's not taking this lying down," she said. "I overheard her talking on the phone. She's gathering her allies; what's left of them and planning to make her move."Ginny frowned, her mind racing. "What kind of move?”Anna Bella seemed to falter then, her bravado deserting her for once. "I don't know the details," she said. "But she mentioned something about a vote. Something that could override the board's decision to remove her."Ginny's stomach sank. What little influence Lucy had was rapidly declining, but she could regain her position and negate everything Ginny and Joshua had fought for if she rounded
