I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him CHAPTER 81: THE PROMISE WE COULDN’T KEEP
Seraphina woke to the sound of rain.For a few seconds, she remained still, staring at the ceiling while the memories of the previous night returned in fragments.The underground facility.The files.Her father’s name.Lucien standing between her and the armed men.And the promise he had made before they escaped.I will never lie to you again.She turned her head.The other side of the bed was empty.Of course it was.Lucien had a habit of disappearing whenever things became too complicated. He never ran from danger, but he had a strange way of retreating emotionally whenever the walls around him began to crack.Seraphina pushed herself upright.Her body still ached from the previous night’s chaos, but it was the ache in her chest that bothered her more.She had spent months believing she understood Lucien.Then she had spent weeks realizing she didn’t.And now she was beginning to understand that perhaps no one truly did.Except her.Maybe she was the only person who had ever gotten
I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him CHAPTER 80: THE RUINS OF THE VALE ESTATE
The old Vale estate looked smaller than Seraphina remembered.Perhaps it was because she had spent ten years turning it into something larger inside her mind.In her memories, it had been enormous.The gardens had stretched endlessly. The marble staircase had seemed wide enough for a ballroom. The windows had reached the ceiling, and sunlight had filled every room.Now there was almost nothing left.Blackened walls stood beneath the night sky. Broken windows stared like empty eyes. Ivy crawled over the remains of the eastern wing, and weeds pushed through cracks in the stone.Seraphina stood outside the gates, staring at the ruins.Her fingers tightened around the photograph of the boy she had never been allowed to remember.Her brother.Lucien stood beside her.He had said almost nothing during the drive.Neither had she.There were too many thoughts fighting inside her.What if he was really there?What if he remembered her?What if he hated her?What if he wasn’t the little boy fro
I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him CHAPTER 79: THE BROTHER SHE NEVER KNEW
Seraphina stared at Lucien.For several seconds, the entire world seemed to disappear.The abandoned facility.The broken lights.Adrian Cross standing somewhere in the shadows.None of it mattered.Only two words remained.Your brother.Her lips parted, but no sound came.She shook her head slowly.“No.”Lucien didn’t move.“You don’t have a brother.”“My father never had another child.”“He did.”“No.”Her voice became stronger.“No, Lucien. I would know.”“You were four years old.”Seraphina froze.Four.A strange pressure formed behind her eyes.She suddenly remembered something.A room.A blue curtain.A small wooden horse.And laughter.Not hers.A child’s laughter.She pressed a hand against her temple.“I remember…”Lucien watched her carefully.“What do you remember?”She closed her eyes.“There was someone.”Adrian smiled.Lucien’s expression tightened.“Seraphina.”“A boy.”The memory came in fragments.Small hands.Dark hair.A tiny voice calling her name.Sera.She opened
I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him CHAPTER 78: THE LIE HE COULDN’T BURY
For several seconds, Seraphina couldn’t breathe.The words remained suspended between them.I killed your father.No.Her mind rejected them before her heart could even understand them.She stared at Lucien as though another man had suddenly stepped into his body.“You killed him?”Lucien didn’t answer.That silence was enough.Seraphina took a step backward.“No.”Her voice was barely audible.Lucien’s expression tightened.“Seraphina—”“Don’t.”She raised a trembling hand.“Don’t say my name.”He stopped.She looked down at the letter again.Then back at him.“You told me he was alive.”“I said someone wanted us to believe he was dead.”“You knew.”“I suspected.”“You said you didn’t have proof.”“I didn’t.”She laughed bitterly.“Then why did you say you killed him?”Lucien looked away.“Because I believed I did.”The answer confused her more than anything else.“What does that mean?”He walked toward the table and placed both hands against its edge.His head lowered.“When your fa
I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him CHAPTER 77: THE MAN WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD
The photograph remained on the table between them long after Lucien left the room.Seraphina couldn’t stop staring at it.Her father.Alive.The man whose death had shaped every decision she had made for the last ten years was standing in that photograph as clearly as if he had been taken yesterday.Older, yes.Thinner.His once-black hair streaked with silver, his face harder than she remembered.But it was him.There was no mistaking those eyes.She had inherited them.Seraphina reached out and touched the photograph with trembling fingers.For years, she had dreamed about seeing her father again.Sometimes in those dreams, he apologized.Sometimes he told her he had never abandoned her.Sometimes he simply hugged her, and she woke up crying before she could hear what he wanted to say.But this wasn’t a dream.He was alive.And suddenly, she wasn’t sure whether she wanted to find him.A soft knock came at the door.She didn’t answer.The door opened anyway.Lucien stepped inside.He
I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him CHAPTER 76: THE NIGHT HE FINALLY LET HER IN
Seraphina woke before dawn.For several seconds, she didn’t know where she was.The room was dark except for the faint silver light slipping through the curtains. Rain tapped softly against the windows, steady and almost soothing.Then she remembered.Lucien.The argument.The files.The kiss she had almost allowed herself to believe meant something.Her eyes closed again.She hated mornings like this.Mornings when reality returned too quickly.She turned onto her back and stared at the ceiling.For weeks, she had told herself that Lucien was dangerous because he knew too much.Then she had convinced herself he was dangerous because he cared too much.Now she was beginning to understand the truth.He was dangerous because she cared about him too.And that frightened her more than any enemy ever had.A soft knock came at the door.Seraphina sat up.“Come in.”The door opened.Lucien stood there.He was already dressed in a black suit, his hair slightly disheveled as if he had run his
