My Step Daughter Called Me in Tears, Begging to Be Picked up from Her Dad’s House — What I Saw When I Came Over, Made Me Go Pale
Late one night, Jessy’s stepfather received a panicked call from the eight-year-old, begging to be picked up from her dad’s house without telling her mother. Racing across town, he arrived to find the back door wide open and Jessy trembling in a kitchen covered in cake batter.
Jessy and I have always been close. Ever since her mom and I got married, we’ve built a bond that feels almost like I’ve been in her life forever. She’s eight now, with bright blue eyes and a smile that could melt anyone’s heart. But tonight, something was wrong.

Usually, Jessy loves staying at her dad’s house. It’s not too far from ours, and she enjoys baking and doing little projects with him. But tonight felt different. It was late, just past 11 p.m., when my phone buzzed, breaking the silence. Jessy’s name flashed on the screen.
