“Your mother is waiting for you.”

Victor Hale’s voice echoed through the underground chamber.

Seraphina stood completely still.

For one terrible second, everything around her seemed to disappear.

The flickering emergency light.

The distant sound of boots.

Matteo’s weapon being raised.

Even Lucien standing beside her.

All she could hear was Victor’s final sentence.

She wants you to know why she chose me over your father.

Her mother.

Victor.

Her father.

Lucien.

  • I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him   Chapter 90: The Truth We Chose

    The rain had stopped, but the city still looked as though it had been crying.Seraphina stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching droplets slide slowly down the glass. Behind her, the room was quiet. Too quiet.Lucien had been silent for nearly ten minutes.She could feel his eyes on her, but she refused to turn around.There had been a time when his silence terrified her.Now, it simply made her wonder what he was afraid to say.“Seraphina.”His voice finally broke through the silence.She closed her eyes.“What?”“I need you to look at me.”A small, bitter smile touched her lips.“You always say that when you know I won’t like what you’re about to tell me.”“I know.”She turned.Lucien stood several feet away, his jacket discarded over the back of a chair, the sleeves of his shirt rolled to his forearms. He looked exhausted. Not physically.Emotionally.For a man who had spent years making everyone believe he was untouchable, there was something painfully vulnerable in his eyes

  • I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him   Chapter 89: What Lucien Did to Her

    For several seconds after the screen went black, nobody moved.I stared at the empty wall.My mother’s voice still echoed inside my head.Lucien, tell my daughter what you did to me.I turned slowly.Lucien was standing behind me.His face had lost every trace of calm.That frightened me more than the message itself.“Lucien.”He didn’t answer.“What did you do to my mother?”His jaw tightened.“I need you to trust me.”A bitter laugh escaped me.“That’s the one thing you shouldn’t ask me for right now.”He looked at me.“I know.”“Then answer.”Silence.My father suddenly spoke from the bed.“Lucien.”Lucien looked toward him.My father’s voice was weak.“You owe her the truth.”Lucien’s eyes closed briefly.When they opened again, something had changed.The walls were gone.The perfect control.The untouchable businessman.The man who always seemed to have an answer.Gone.What stood before me was simply a man carrying an unbearable secret.“I didn’t kill your mother,” he said.My h

    The message stayed on Lucien’s phone for several seconds.Neither of us spoke.I could hear my own heartbeat.Your real mother is waiting for you.I read the sentence again.Then again.It didn’t make sense.My mother had been dead for twelve years.At least, that was what my father had just told me.I looked at him.“Who was that woman?”He didn’t answer.“Dad.”His eyes lowered.“I don’t know her real name.”My stomach tightened.“You expect me to believe that?”“I expect you to understand that I was afraid.”“Afraid enough to lie to your own daughter for twelve years?”His face crumpled slightly.“Yes.”The word came out broken.I stepped away from the bed.“You told me my mother died.”“I believed she did.”“Then why did that woman know things only my mother could know?”My father closed his eyes.“Because she had access to her memories.”The room went silent.Lucien moved closer.“Explain.”My father looked at him.“Years ago, Black Veil wasn’t only about predicting behavior. It

    The red numbers above the warehouse door began counting down.00:58.For one frozen second, nobody moved.Then Lucien shouted, “Everyone out!”The warehouse erupted into motion.Security men dragged my father toward the western exit while Matteo ran toward the control panel.I couldn’t move.My eyes remained fixed on the smoke where my mother had disappeared.“Seraphina!”Lucien grabbed my shoulders.“Look at me.”I did.His face was tense, but his eyes were steady.“We have less than a minute.”“My mother…”“We’ll find her.”“She knows everything.”“I know.”“She said you were ordered to kill me.”His jaw tightened.“I was.”The honesty hurt.Even now, he refused to soften the truth.“But you didn’t.”“No.”“Why?”His eyes held mine.“Because you were never a target to me.”A loud metallic bang echoed through the warehouse.00:41.Lucien took my hand.“Come.”I followed.We ran through the smoke.My father was being supported by Matteo, his face pale and bloodied.“Where’s the exit?”

    The explosion sent a wave of heat through the warehouse.I hit the floor hard, Lucien’s body covering mine before I could even understand what had happened.Dust filled the air.Glass shattered somewhere above us.Men shouted.Gunfire ripped through the darkness.For a few seconds, I could hear nothing except the pounding of my own heart.“Seraphina.”Lucien’s voice cut through the chaos.I opened my eyes.His face was inches from mine.“Are you hurt?”I shook my head.“No.”His eyes searched my face anyway.“Are you sure?”“Yes.”Only then did he pull himself up.“Stay down.”I grabbed his sleeve.“My father.”“I know.”“He’s still inside.”“I’ll get him.”“No.”Lucien looked at me sharply.“You’re not going anywhere.”“I’m not leaving him.”“You don’t understand what is happening.”“My father has been missing for ten years.”My voice cracked.“I’m not losing him again.”Something changed in Lucien’s expression.He knew he couldn’t stop me.He reached for my hand.“Then stay beside m

  • I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him   Chapter 85: The Truth We Could No Longer Hide

    The rain had stopped by the time we reached the eastern side of the city.But the roads were still wet, reflecting the streetlights in long golden streaks that made everything look strangely beautiful.I hated beautiful nights like this.They made dangerous moments feel almost peaceful.I sat beside Lucien in the back of the car, my hands folded tightly in my lap.Neither of us had spoken since we left the estate.Matteo was in the vehicle ahead of us, coordinating with the security team. Everyone had been instructed to keep their distance until Lucien knew exactly what we were walking into.I glanced at him.His face was calm.Too calm.His eyes remained fixed on the road ahead, but I knew him well enough now to recognize the tension in his jaw.He was worried.Not for himself.For me.“You’re doing it again,” I said quietly.He looked at me.“Doing what?”“Pretending you’re not afraid.”His expression barely changed.“I’m not afraid.”I gave him a tired smile.“That’s a lie.”For a
