Seraphina couldn’t move.

Her father’s voice was still echoing inside her head.

If you’re hearing this, it means I failed to keep you safe.

She stared at the phone as though it might ring again.

“Seraphina.”

Lucien’s voice reached her, but she barely heard him.

“My father is alive.”

She said it like she was trying to convince herself.

Lucien didn’t answer immediately.

“Isn’t he?”

“I don’t know.”

She turned toward him sharply.

“You heard him.”

“I heard a recording.”

“No.” Her voice cracked. “That

    The photograph slipped from Seraphina’s fingers.For several seconds, she couldn’t breathe.Lucien stood across the room, staring at the image on the table as though it had just resurrected a ghost neither of them had been prepared to face.The photograph was old.Faded around the edges.But the woman in it was unmistakable.Seraphina.Only she wasn’t standing alone.A little girl stood beside her.And behind them, barely visible beneath the shadow of a laboratory doorway, was Lucien’s father.Seraphina’s heart slammed against her ribs.“That’s impossible,” she whispered.Lucien picked up the photograph.His face hardened.“Where did you get this?”The man who had brought it to them remained near the door.His name was Adrian Cross.Formerly one of the senior researchers assigned to Project Black Veil.Formerly.Because according to the records Lucien had uncovered, Adrian Cross had died eighteen years ago.Yet he was standing in front of them.Alive.And terrified.“You need to under

    “Mom?”The word barely escaped Seraphina’s lips.Then the speakers went silent.No answer.No explanation.Only the faint hum of electricity somewhere beneath the walls.Lucien stood directly in front of her, his body tense, one hand hovering near the weapon beneath his jacket.“Stay behind me.”Seraphina ignored him.“My mother is alive.”“I heard her.”“She spoke to me.”“I know.”“Then move.”Lucien turned slightly.“Seraphina—”“I said move.”Something in her voice made him stop.She walked toward the speakers.“Where are you?”Silence.Then her mother’s voice returned.“Not where you think.”Seraphina’s chest tightened.“Show yourself.”A soft laugh came through the speakers.“You always were stubborn.”Tears burned behind Seraphina’s eyes.“You left me.”“No.”The answer came immediately.“I was taken from you.”“By whom?”Another silence.Then—“Your father.”Seraphina froze.Lucien’s expression hardened.“That’s not true,” he said.The speakers crackled.“Lucien.”Her mother’s

  • I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 122: THE NIGHT MY FATHER CHANGED

    Seraphina had spent fifteen years believing her father died a broken man.She was wrong.He hadn't broken.He had changed.And tonight, she was finally going to learn why.The car tore through the darkness.Rain struck the windshield in violent waves as Lucien drove through the city, one hand steady on the wheel and the other gripping the phone that had delivered the message.YOUR MOTHER IS WAITING.Seraphina sat beside him, staring through the window.She hadn't spoken in twenty minutes.Neither had Lucien.The silence between them wasn't uncomfortable anymore.It was heavier than that.It was the silence of two people carrying the same impossible question.Where was her mother?And why had everyone lied about her death?Seraphina looked down at the silver pendant in her palm.Her fingers traced the tiny engraving.S.V.She remembered the garden now.The fountain.The boy.Lucien at nineteen.His promise.I will come back.But another memory had returned with it.Her father.The syri

  • I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 121: THE MEMORY THEY TOOK FROM ME

    The first thing Seraphina remembered was screaming.Not her own.A child's.The sound tore through the darkness of her sleep and dragged her violently awake.She sat upright in bed, gasping.Her heart hammered against her ribs.The room was dark except for the thin silver light coming through the curtains. For several seconds, she didn't know where she was.Then the memories returned.Lucien.The estate.Project Black Veil.Her father.Victor Hale.The watch list.The revelation that her entire childhood had been built around a secret she had never known existed.Seraphina pressed a trembling hand against her forehead.The scream was still there.A child's scream.Her scream.She closed her eyes.And suddenly—A flash.A white room.Metal restraints.A man's hand gripping her shoulder.Her father's voice.“Don't let her remember.”Seraphina's eyes snapped open.She stopped breathing.“What…”Another flash came.A silver light above her.A glass wall.Someone standing behind it.A youn

  • I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 120: THE FILE MARKED “S.V.”

    The file was already waiting for her.Seraphina stopped at the entrance of Lucien’s study, her fingers still wrapped around the door handle.The room was empty.That was the first thing that frightened her.Lucien never left important things unattended.Not documents.Not weapons.Not secrets.Yet there it was.A single black folder resting in the center of his desk.No lock.No warning.No note.Only two letters written across the cover in silver ink.S.V.Seraphina’s heartbeat changed.She slowly closed the door behind her.For several seconds, she simply stared.S.V.Her initials.But something about the folder felt older than her name.She crossed the room.Every step seemed louder than it should have been.When she reached the desk, she stopped.There was a second detail she hadn't noticed from the doorway.The folder was covered in dust.Not much.But enough to suggest it had been hidden somewhere for years.Her fingers hovered over it.Then she opened it.The first page contain

  • I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 119: THE DOCTOR WHO REMEMBERED ME

    Seraphina woke to the sound of a heartbeat.Slow.Steady.Not hers.Her eyes opened.For several seconds, she couldn't remember where she was.White ceiling.Cold fluorescent lights.The faint smell of antiseptic.A monitor beeping somewhere beside her.Then everything returned at once.The tower.Victor Hale.The files.Project Black Veil.Her father.Lucien.The gunshot.She tried to sit up.Pain exploded through her side.She gasped and fell back against the pillow.“Don't.”The voice came from the doorway.Seraphina froze.A man in a white coat stood there, holding a medical chart.He looked to be in his late fifties, with silver threaded through his dark hair and tired eyes that seemed far too familiar.He stared at her.Not like a doctor examining a patient.Like a man looking at someone he had believed was dead.His face slowly changed.Recognition.Shock.Then something dangerously close to fear.“Seraphina?”Her breath caught.“How do you know my name?”The doctor didn't answ
