Wedded To My Enemy
His lips brushed my palm and every time his hot breath hit my skin, it set my nerves on fire.
“What the—” I whispered, breathless.
And then, with deliberate slowness, Sevastian slipped my ring finger into his mouth.
My eyes widened in disbelief, my heart hammering against my chest.
His teeth scraped my skin before sinking into the flesh, just enough to make me twitch from the sharp pain.
I gasped, both from the sting and the bite I got from him.
My entire body tensed as he bit down harder, marking me not with ink or metal, but with flesh and teeth.
When he finally released my hand, my skin throbbed, the faint mark of his bite was visible against my finger.
I cradled my hand, staring in disbelief at the mark he left behind.
“This,” Sevastian murmured, his voice low and sharp.
“Is my mark and ring.” His tone carried an edge, dangerous yet confident, as if the words were meant to bind me.
“The symbol that you are no longer Celestina Valeztina-Savelli.” His lips ghosted over my skin, and my chest tightened as he whispered the next words.
“...but Celestina Valeztina-Ortega.”
His next words were a soft snarl, dripping with ruthless certainty.
“My property, my wife.” He added, while locking his gaze on me.
There was no hesitation in his eyes, no flicker of remorse, only that same ruthless determination that chilled me to my core.
I tried to pull my hand back, but he didn’t let go.
"You’re insane," I whispered, my voice barely audible, trembling despite my best efforts not to show it.
“Yes, I’m insane,” he replied with a hint of mischief in his voice, “And I can drive you crazy…” He paused, letting the tension hang in the air.

Chapter: Chapter 156: Forget to File? CELESTINA I didn’t breathe until Sevastian was gone.The weight of his glare still pressed against my skin like ash, clinging and suffocating. The echo of his footsteps retreating down the marble hallway felt louder than the music humming from the speakers. God, I wanted to scream and stop him from leaving. I wanted to run away from here and grab him yet I couldn’t. But instead, I stood still paralyzed in a silk dress and borrowed confidence, clutching a wine glass filled with poison I never intended to drink.“You didn’t have to defend me that hard,” Hector said casually, strolling to the bar as if my world hadn’t just cracked open in front of him. “Makes you look a little too convincing.”I didn’t answer. If I opened my mouth, I was afraid something would spill my rage, guilt, or maybe just my pride.Instead, I turned my back on him and walked to the window. The city below glimmered in artificial light, a thousand lies flickering in every window. How fitting.“You know…” he co

Chapter: Chapter 155: Protecting HimSEVASTIANI’ve been inside Hector’s penthouse for a couple of hours now, lurking inside of his disgusting small house, and every passing second with him breathing the same air as Celestina makes my blood boil. I was itching to put a bullet between his eyes the moment he stepped in with her like he owned the damn night.They probably didn’t know I was already here watching, waiting. But neither of them said a thing. I kept my eyes fixed on Celestina as she disappeared into one of the rooms, her figure slipping behind the door like a dream I couldn’t reach.Then I turned my attention back to the bastard who thought he could play God.“Celestina, do you want red or white?” he called out, smug and casual like this was some kind of date.“Red. Make it strong,” she replied from behind the door.“Got it!” he said, wearing a smirk that made my fists clench. Then I watched him, that smug little prick, slip something into her drink. A small white capsule, crushed into powder, stirred into th

Chapter: Chapter 154: Play At Their GamesCELESTINAAfter weeks of finalizing the plan, everything was finally set into motion. I'd started going out with Hector more frequently, attending every event he dragged me to, dressed to the nines and playing the perfect, obedient little lover.There’s a saying: keep your enemies close and strike them without realizing it. Right now, I sat beside Hector at some fancy, overpriced event filled with mafia rats dressed in tailored suits, each one pretending they weren’t covered in blood beneath their silk shirts. My arm curled around his, and I forced my lips to twitch into a coy smile as we made our way through the ballroom.Everyone seemed fooled. Everyone… except the man sitting across the room, lounging like a king in his fortress of shadows, his fingers wrapped lazily around a glass of whiskey, his eyes fixed on me.Jack Kostov.He was watching me — no, studying me. Like I was a riddle he already knew the answer to.I turned my head slightly, pretending to listen to Hector talk a

Chapter: Chapter 153: About JackVALERIAThe air thickened as if the walls themselves were holding their breath. I couldn't stop staring at Victoria.So much of what I thought I knew about her shattered the moment she uttered those words. ‘And now… so are you.’Her voice didn’t rise. It didn’t need that quiet weight she carried sank deep, like stone tossed into still water, rippling all the way through me.I swallowed hard, trying to find something to say. Anything. But my throat felt dry, like ash was lodged in it.“You were… dragged,” I murmured finally, repeating the word like it would somehow make sense of all this. “And you didn’t fight it?”Victoria turned to me, eyes cool but not cold. “I did,” she said. “In every way I could. But when you’re young and someone like Jack sees something in you, it doesn’t matter how hard you kick. He doesn't pull you in. He lures you… until you think you’re stepping into light, only to realize it’s just fire dressed as gold.”Her words settled inside me like smoke.I looked

Chapter: Chapter 152: The Four FamiliesCELESTINAIt’s been a week since the three of us took shelter in this mansion, our supposed sanctuary, though peace has always felt like a borrowed luxury in this life.Everything felt… normal again, at least on the surface. Victoria had returned to her usual poised, icy self mask on, spine straight, and words that are carefully calculated. Valeria still carried the weight of our shared trauma, but in her own way, she remained the same—sharp-eyed and remained skeptical.I lifted my teacup, sipping the warm liquid before placing it back on the porcelain saucer with a quiet clink. “I plan to return,” I said simply.Victoria didn’t even blink. She calmly placed her own cup down with that same elegance she always carried, as if nothing could ever rattle her. “Are you certain?” she asked, her voice was searching for certainty. “You think you can handle it now?”Her gaze pinned me, unwavering, the kind of stare that could strip you bare if you weren’t ready. But I was. “Yes,” I answere

Chapter: Chapter 151: Jack Daughter'sSEVASTIAN“Sevastian, let him go!” Aunt Priscilla’s sharp voice echoed in the whole room. But I didn’t move nor follow her words. My hand was already fisted in Hector’s collar, dragging him up just enough for his feet to lift slightly off the floor. My jaw clenched so tightly I could feel the tendons stretching down my neck. My blood boiled, and my rage pounding in my ears louder than anyone’s voice.Yet this bastard dared to smirk. That smug fucking smirk like he hadn’t just signed his death certificate.“Didn’t you hear her?” Hector taunted, lips twitching in amusement, his voice thick with mockery.I wanted to crush his windpipe. Right there. Right now.I glared at him, as I tightened my grip. He chuckled like I was a goddamn joke to him. “It seems your godson doesn’t want to collaborate with the Savelli,” he said, glancing over his shoulder.My gaze followed.And there he was.Jack Kostov.Sitting comfortably on the leather couch like he owned the entire fucking city.
