All Chapters of A Blissful Night with My Step-Father: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

She stood in front of the mirror, tugging at the collar of her blouse while her reflection stared back at her. The exhaustion was there in her eyes, but so was her determination.Today would be a turning point; one way or another."Are you ready?" Joshua's voice called from the doorway.She turned, nodding firmly. "As ready as I'll ever be."Joshua entered the room, his face grim but encouraging. "Annabella's already at the meeting. She's going to keep Lucy's people occupied long enough for us to get in."Ginny nodded, her stomach twisting in a mix of nerves and resolution. "Let's go."………………………………………………………………………Tension thickened the air in the estate's conference hall as Ginny and Joshua made their approach.She could hear muffled voices through the partially open doors, Lucy's voice sharp and commanding, the others more subdued."Do you think she suspects we're coming?" Joshua asked, his voice low.Ginny hesitated, glancing at him. "It doesn't matter. She'll know soon enough."Just

Ginny tiptoed down the dimly lit corridor, her breath catching with each creak of the floor.She clasped the purloined documents tightly to her chest and threw a cautious glance backward.The shadow of danger loomed large in her mind; every sparkle of light or slight rustle made her heart beat much louder than her cautious footsteps.Annabella followed close behind, her fingers clutching Ginny’s arm tightly. "We need to move faster," Annabella whispered, her voice trembling. "If Lucy wakes up and finds us—""I know," Ginny hissed back, her tone sharp but laden with the same fear. "Just keep going. We’re almost there."The journey back to Ginny's room felt endless, the walls of the mansion seeming to stretch and twist as if conspiring to trap them.There was tension between the two women; every breath they took felt like a gamble against discovery.As they approached the last bend, the faint sound of light footsteps reached them from behind. Both women froze, eyes wide in panic.Ginny'

The night air was thick with tension as Ginny stared at the scattered documents on her desk. Annabella sat cross-legged on the bed, her fingers twisting the hem of her shirt.They knew the stakes were going higher by the minute, the game increasingly hazardous, the outcome uncertain. "Lucy's trap isn't suspicion now; she is coming after us now," Annabella whispered firmly but tensely.Ginny just nodded her head with clenched teeth. "That would be our warning-we can't afford another slipup. Each step hence will be judiciously calculated."Annabella let out a heavy sigh, pushing the hair off her face. "You think she's already seen the footage? If she knows we were in her study."Ginny swallowed hard as her mind began to race over time. "If she had any concrete evidence, she'd have pulled it out by now. Lucy is in love with control, and if she could, she'd call us out, publicly. That doesn't mean we are safe."Annabella leaned back in her chair, her eyes to the ceiling. "I can't believe

The impending board meeting loomed like a thunderstorm on the horizon, its threat palpable. Ginny found herself in a restless daze, oscillating between hope and dread.She had hardly slept, her nights plagued by the specter of defeat. But something far more insidious gnawed at her gut-the flickers of recognition she glimpsed in Raymond's eyes.He was remembering, piecemeal and painfully, and the implications hung over her like a physical weight.This morning was no different. Outside her window, the sky was a mass of grey, diffused sunlight struggling to break its way through heavy clouds. At her desk, she sat flipping through Annabella's notes, though her mind struggled to focus. A soft knock on the door startled her out of her reverie."Come in," she called, her voice hoarse from disuse.The door creaked open, and Raymond stepped inside. His presence filled the room, his tall frame and broad shoulders exuding a quiet strength that still managed to unnerve her.“Ginny,” he said, his

The next morning dawned overcast, as though the world itself mirrored the tension within the mansion.Ginny woke early, her mind still swirling with the revelations from the night before.They sat in the locked drawer of her desk, a comfort and a threat all at once. She hadn't slept too well; the enormity of what they were about to do weighed heavily upon her.Annabella came into her room at precisely seven, with a mug of steaming coffee in her hand and a glint in her eye. "We need a plan," she said without beating around the bush. "Lucy's not going to stay idle for long. She'll know something's off soon."Ginny nodded, taking the coffee gratefully. "We take the evidence to the board before she has a chance to spin her lies. We have the will, the financial records, everything. But we really have to tread carefully. If she gets even a hint of this...""She'll go nuclear," Annabella finished grimly. "Which means we need to move fast.As though called out by the saying of her name, Lucy'
