Author: Richard James
last update publish date: 2026-08-27 18:32:58

The first thing Seraphina noticed was that Lucien had stopped breathing.

Not literally.

But for one suspended second, the man standing across from her looked as though even breathing required a decision.

She had asked him what she was to him.

He had answered.

“You are the reason this war hasn’t ended yet.”

The words should have satisfied her.

Instead, they frightened her.

Seraphina folded her arms across her chest.

“Then tell me what war I’m standing in.”

Lucien’s expression hardened.

    “I am your uncle.”The words seemed to crawl beneath my skin.I couldn’t breathe.My uncle.The man standing somewhere above us knew my name, my history, my memories—and apparently the secret my father had spent years trying to bury.Lucien pulled me farther behind the stone staircase.“Stay down.”I barely heard him.My eyes remained fixed on the darkness above.“Show yourself.”My voice surprised even me.The man laughed.“You sound like your father.”I clenched my fists.“Who are you?”“Does it matter?”“Yes.”“Then call me Adrian.”My heart stopped.Lucien immediately looked at me.“Adrian?”I shook my head.“No.”The voice laughed again.“Not Cross.”A pause.“Your uncle.”Lucien’s expression hardened.“What’s his full name?”The man answered from the darkness.“Adrian Vale.”My mind went blank.Adrian Vale.The name meant nothing.Yet something about hearing it made my chest ache.A memory surfaced.A man’s hand holding mine.A deep voice saying, “Never tell your father what I s

  • I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 114: THE MEMORY I WAS FORCED TO FORGET

    The silence after the recording was unbearable.I stood frozen in the darkness, hearing my younger voice over and over again.You’re the only person I trust.I looked at Lucien.He wasn’t looking at me.His head was lowered, his shoulders rigid, his hands clenched at his sides.“Lucien.”He didn’t answer.“Look at me.”Slowly, he raised his eyes.There was no coldness in them now.Only regret.“You remember,” I whispered.His jaw tightened.“Yes.”“How much?”“Everything.”My chest tightened.“Then tell me.”He remained silent.I stepped closer.“You promised me.”His eyes flickered.“When I was a child, I trusted you. Whatever happened after that, you knew the truth.”“I did.”“And you let me believe you destroyed my family.”“I had to.”“No.”My voice broke.“You chose to.”Lucien absorbed the accusation without defending himself.“Yes.”That single word hurt more than an argument would have.“Why?”He looked toward the dead monitor.“Because your father wasn’t the only one searchin

  • I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 113: THE ROOM BENEATH THE HOUSE

    The sound beneath our feet was small.A click.Then another.But in the silence that followed, it felt louder than the gunshots.I stared at the floor.Something had unlocked beneath the house.Lucien immediately moved toward me.“Stay behind me.”I shook my head.“You knew about the room.”His expression hardened.“I knew there was an old foundation beneath the estate.”“That isn’t what I asked.”A pause.“Yes.”My chest tightened.“You knew.”“I knew there was a room.”“And you never told me?”“I never had proof that it was still accessible.”I held up the photograph.“Then why does my father know about it?”Lucien looked at the message on the back.His face changed.Not fear this time.Recognition.“You’ve seen that handwriting before,” I said.“Yes.”“Where?”He looked at me.“In a file your father left for me.”My pulse quickened.“What file?”Before he could answer, Matteo interrupted.“Lucien.”We both turned.He pointed toward the floor.A thin line had appeared between two ma

    “Welcome home, Seraphina.”The voice echoed through the estate.I couldn’t move.Neither could Lucien.For a few seconds, even the security monitors seemed frozen.Then I whispered, “Who is that?”No answer.Only static.Lucien tightened his grip around my hand.“Stay with me.”I looked at him sharply.“You know that voice.”His jaw tightened.“No.”“You hesitated.”“I was listening.”“That wasn’t what I asked.”His eyes met mine.There was something behind them.Something he was desperately trying to bury.Before I could press him, the intercom crackled again.“Don’t listen to him, Seraphina.”My heart slammed against my ribs.The voice sounded closer this time.Almost as if the woman were standing somewhere inside the walls.“Lucien has spent years keeping you away from the truth.”I pulled my hand from his.“Where are you?”A soft laugh answered.“You’ve already seen me.”I froze.Lucien immediately stepped forward.“Enough.”The voice laughed again.“You’re afraid she’ll remember.

    The gunshot came from inside the house.I knew it before the echo disappeared.Lucien moved first.He grabbed my wrist and pulled me behind the stone column as another shot tore through the corridor.“Stay here.”I yanked my hand free.“No.”His dark eyes flashed.“Seraphina—”“You said we were searching together.”For one second, he stared at me.Then something in his expression changed.He nodded.“Together.”We moved.The emergency lights continued flashing across the walls, turning the estate into a maze of red shadows. Somewhere ahead, footsteps thundered across the marble floor.Lucien raised his weapon.I followed his line of sight.Nothing.Then I noticed it.A security camera.Its lens was moving.Tracking us.I pointed.“Someone is watching.”Lucien looked up.The camera suddenly stopped.Then turned toward the opposite corridor.A second later, every light in the hallway went dark.“Move,” Lucien ordered.We ran.A door slammed somewhere behind us.I heard footsteps.Fast.
