last update วันที่เผยแพร่: 2026-08-07 13:49:13

Seraphina knew something was wrong the moment Matteo refused to meet her eyes.

He stood in the doorway of the private library, one hand pressed against the wooden frame, his expression unusually tense. Matteo Rossi was rarely nervous. He had worked for Lucien for years, survived threats, negotiations, betrayals, and situations that would have sent ordinary men running.

Yet now, he looked like a man carrying a secret that had become too heavy to keep.

Seraphina closed the book in front of her.

  • I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 60: OUR MARRIAGE BECAME REAL

    Seraphina woke to the sound of rain.For a few seconds, she didn't move.She stared at the ceiling, listening to the steady tapping against the bedroom windows. Her mind felt strangely quiet, almost peaceful.Then she remembered.Lucien.The attack.The blood on his shirt.The way he had looked at her when he thought she was asleep.And the words he had whispered before leaving the room."I can't lose you."Her chest tightened.She turned her head.The other side of the bed was empty.Of course it was.Lucien was never there when she woke.He always disappeared before sunrise, leaving behind nothing but the faint scent of his cologne and questions she couldn't answer.Seraphina pushed herself upright.For the first time since entering the Virelli estate, she wasn't thinking about revenge.That frightened her more than any assassin ever could.She reached for her phone.Six missed calls.All from Matteo.Her stomach tightened.She called him back immediately.He answered on the first r

  • I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 59: THE LIE THAT KEPT ME ALIVE

    Seraphina woke before sunrise.For several seconds, she didn't know where she was.The ceiling above her was unfamiliar only because the darkness had changed its shape overnight. Rain tapped softly against the windows, and somewhere beyond the bedroom walls, the estate remained unnaturally quiet.Then memory returned.Lucien bleeding in her arms.The gunshot.Matteo shouting for the doctor.Lucien looking at her as if her fear mattered more than the blood soaking through his shirt.She sat up slowly.Her heart tightened.He had survived.The doctor had said the bullet missed anything vital by inches.Inches.That word had been haunting her all night.She pushed the blanket aside and stood.She should have been angry with him.He had hidden too much.He had manipulated her.He had known things about her family long before she entered his life.And yet, when the gun went off, none of those things had mattered.She had been terrified of losing him.That frightened her more than any enemy

  • I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 58: THE FIRST TIME I CRIED FOR HIM

    Seraphina Vale had always believed tears were a weakness.She had learned that lesson before she was old enough to understand why.The first time she cried after losing her family, there had been people watching.Lawyers.Reporters.Strangers who pretended to care.They had looked at the broken girl standing outside the courthouse and whispered about her father, her family's disgrace, and the empire that had collapsed overnight.She had cried then.Never again.After that day, Seraphina learned how to swallow pain before it reached her eyes.She learned how to turn grief into discipline.Anger into ambition.Fear into silence.So when she woke that night and saw Lucien Virelli bleeding on the floor, her first instinct wasn't to scream.It was to fight.The memory came back in fragments.The gunshot.Lucien stepping in front of her.The sound of his body hitting the marble.The blood.Too much blood.And then his voice.Stay behind me.Even while wounded, he had been thinking about her

  • I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 57: I BEGAN TO DOUBT MYSELF

    I didn't sleep that night.Not because of the blood on Lucien's shirt.Not because of the gunshot that had nearly taken his life.And not even because of the image of him standing between me and the assassin without hesitation.I couldn't sleep because one question kept circling through my mind.What if Lucien had been telling the truth?I lay beneath the dark canopy of our bed, staring at the ceiling while rain tapped softly against the windows.The room was silent.Too silent.Lucien was asleep—or at least pretending to be.He had refused medical attention beyond having Matteo clean and bandage the cut along his side. The bullet had grazed him. That was what the doctor said.A graze.As if watching the man who terrified an entire city bleed because someone had been aiming at me was something ordinary.I turned my head.Lucien lay on his back, one arm resting across his stomach. Even asleep, he looked guarded. Controlled.But tonight, there was something different.Vulnerability.His

  • I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him   Chapter 56: The Enemy Saved Me Again

    Seraphina woke to the sound of rain.Not gentle rain.Heavy rain.It hammered against the windows of the Virelli estate, turning the world outside into a blur of silver and darkness.For several seconds, she didn’t know where she was.Then she felt the ache in her shoulder.The bitter taste in her mouth.The faint smell of antiseptic.And the memory returned.The gunshot.She had been walking through the underground archive beneath the east wing when the lights went out.Someone had grabbed her from behind.She remembered fighting.A struggle.A flash of metal.Then Lucien’s voice.Cold.Furious.“Get away from my wife.”After that, everything had happened too quickly.Now she was lying in the guest bedroom, staring at the ceiling.Her fingers slowly moved toward her shoulder.Bandaged.The bullet hadn’t entered deeply. The doctor had said it was a graze.But Lucien hadn’t listened.He had stayed beside her until the doctor forced him out.Seraphina turned her head toward the chair be

  • I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him   CHAPTER 55: THE NIGHT LUCIEN BLED

    The first thing Seraphina noticed was the blood.It was too bright against the white marble floor.A single drop.Then another.Then another.She stood frozen in the hallway, staring at the trail leading toward Lucien's study.Her heart began to pound.“Lucien?”No answer.She moved faster.The mansion had been unusually quiet all evening. The guards had doubled after the last attempt on her life, and Lucien had spent most of the night in his study with Matteo.Something was wrong.She reached the study door.It was slightly open.“Lucien?”Still nothing.Seraphina pushed the door open.Her breath caught.Lucien was standing beside his desk.One hand pressed against his side.Blood soaked through the black shirt beneath his jacket.For several seconds, neither of them moved.Then his eyes lifted to hers.Dark.Calm.Far too calm for a man bleeding in his own house.“You shouldn't be here.”Seraphina stared at him in disbelief.“You're bleeding.”“I noticed.”Her anger flared immediate
