No. I hate him. The confession burned on the tip of her tongue, aching to be spilled. One second was all it would take- but one lifetime of facing its consequences. His threat pounded in her skull- menacing, cruel, and certain. She knew he meant every word; he'd follow through, just like he always did.

"Nate is difficult....... sometimes," she replied instead, trailing her fingers along the counter's edge.

"That he is," Ara agreed with a sigh. "His temper issues are a nightmare to deal with..." guilt settled across her features as she continued, "Sometimes, I feel like I failed them, like I should’ve been there more. I got so caught up with my other kids that I couldn't give Nate and Gigi the time they deserved."

"Don't doubt yourself. They couldn't have gotten a better mother than you. You were always there when they needed you.." her eyes softened with a hidden wound as she continued, "...trust me, that means a lot for a child." Her mother was never there for her when she needed

  • His Innocent Sera   By The Moon

    Nate smirked. "What a good sister. Selling her body for her brother," Nate mocked, eyes filled with cruel amusement." Like a whip, his barbarous words lashed at her already wounded pride. The way he had worded it made her feel like some lowly whore, the kind who gives herself just to anyone. But the truth was, after him, she had guarded her dignity, her honor, with a fierceness she didn't know she possessed. No man had ever so much as touched her except for him. "Help me," she murmured, her face stoic, but he could see the desperation lingering behind her eyes.He took a step forward, causing her to back away. Her aura was steeped with fear. Scared shitless but still standing her ground against him. For her brother. The thought stirred the green-eyed monster inside him that he refused to acknowledge. Holding her gaze, he reached for the dress and pried her hands away from her chest. "You are in no position to negotiate with me," he remarked, and on cue, the dress slipped down, poo

  • His Innocent Sera   Deal

    Those blue eyes hadn't changed a bit. Still carrying that breathtaking innocence, untouched by the cruelty of the world. And he hated it. He hated the quiet naivety that still lived in those eyes. He hated how they still held the power to derail his every guarded thought with just one glance. Damn those eyes and damn their owner who betrayed him when he was hopelessly attached to her.He loomed over her, pleased by their height difference. So fucking small and fragile, it baffled him as to how she even managed to go so long on her own. She wasn't a warrior, she wasn't meant to fight. Her power was in her softness. She was meant to sit beside her man, be his inspiration, be his ride or die, while he claimed both earth and sky for her. A mix of longing and ache gripped his heart at the thought. She literally had everything in her palm, but she threw it all away without a second thought.He staggered inside, fighting the pull of liquor in his veins. The room allotted to her was next to h

  • His Innocent Sera   Mistress For Life

    "God will never forgive you," she cursed through her clenched teeth, eyes burning with resentment. He was purposely humiliating her, and the despicable words he used for her had wounded her pride. How dare he use such words for her? Disgust churned in her stomach. He watched her, calm and indifferent, utterly dismissive of her opinion. He had no fear of God either. "Don't do this," she said, voice firm with indignation, brittle with bruised self-respect. "It's either you or your people," Nate gave her the choice, knowing very well what she would pick. Sera clenched her fists in frustration. After a heated stare down, she finally looked away in surrender. "Now hold out your hand," he instructed. Without glancing up, she reluctantly extended her arm. A chill touched her wrist, prompting her to look. He was slipping a bracelet over her hand. Even though made of white platinum, it looked more like a mini version of a dog collar with something written over it. Nathaniel Serrano's Mi

  • His Innocent Sera   Walking The Alley

    He roughly seized her upper arm and pulled her off him.Sera raised her eyes only to find him gazing down at her, his mouth pressed in a thin line. Disappointment and fear filled her instantly. He caught her again. She searched his eyes for intent, but they were shut to her now. inaccessible. Impenetrable. Gulping back the ball of dread, she demanded, "Leave me." A muscle in his jaw ticked. His grip turned brutal, squeezing like a vice as he dragged her back the way she had tried to escape. His robust strength mocked her weak struggle, thwarting her resistance with no effort. He made her follow him despite her aversion. "Let me go," she spat, a mix of desperation and frustration laced her voice. She knew it was useless. Still, she fought him because doing nothing would mean accepting his oppression. He forced her into a room and shoved her to the floor without a second thought. The woman whimpered as she hit the floor. But recovering quickly, she jerked her head up and found him

  • His Innocent Sera   Caged Again

    The world came to a standstill as she locked eyes with him—the same eyes that had stalked her through every nightmare. She froze, her heart slowed down, gradually collapsing under the devastating realisation, and her face lost its color. He was here. He found her. He caught her. And as if fate directed, her gaze flickered to the prominent scar marring his cheek, causing a shadow of recognition to enter her eyes. She had struck him at the same spot nine years ago. Haunting memories hit her hard and fast. A thin layer of tears claimed her eyes as panic settled in. Her slow heart suddenly jolted into a frenzied rhythm, pounding so hard it made her head reel. Her instinct to escape surged forward. Despite her vision blurring, she made a weak attempt to push him off, but his ironclad hold around her refused to give way. He was standing too close, stealing her sky, blocking the rain from reaching her. She wanted to fight his grip, but then her body sank, eyes falling close as she fain

  • His Innocent Sera   Collision like Stars

    She packed all the essentials in her bag and headed out. They were going to perform at a charity event for blind institutions. The rumbling of the clouds caught her attention as she stepped out of her building. The woman glanced up to see large chunks of clouds drifting and merging in the sky. It probably was going to rain. But she couldn't say it with certainty. The weather here was unpredictable. She visited her nearby church like always before setting out for work. Her relationship with God had strengthened all these years—her only constant. Today felt different, and she wasn't sure why. Something strange stirred the air of London. She couldn't name what it was, but it felt eerily familiar. After offering her prayer, she took the bus to her academy, and from there she left for the venue with her group. The event was happening in an open area. The event was about to start soon. She changed into her outfit, a strange feeling lingering with her the entire time. Their performance
