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.

    The morning after their night beneath the stars felt strangely different.Seraphina woke before Lucien.For several minutes, she simply lay there, watching the soft sunlight creep through the curtains.Her hand rested on the new ring.Every time she looked at it, she smiled.It wasn’t the diamond that touched her.It was the promise behind it.No more secrets.No more revenge.No more running.She turned toward Lucien.He was still asleep, his face peaceful.She leaned closer and whispered, “You’re going to make me unbearably happy, aren’t you?”His eyes remained closed.“That’s the plan.”She jumped.“You were awake?”“Since you started talking to yourself.”“I wasn’t talking to myself.”“You were talking to me.”“You weren’t awake.”“I am now.”She laughed and lightly pushed his shoulder.Lucien caught her hand.“Come here.”She fell against him, laughing as he wrapped his arms around her.For a moment, everything was perfect.Then his phone rang.Lucien sighed.“Please don’t answer

    Three weeks had passed since Marcus was arrested.Three weeks since the truth had finally come into the light.Three weeks since Seraphina had learned that the man she once trusted as family had been responsible for years of pain.And somehow, life had begun moving again.Not perfectly.Not quickly.But peacefully.The Vale family name had been cleared publicly. The evidence Adrian recovered had been enough to expose Marcus’s financial manipulation, his connection to Victor, and the people he had bribed to help destroy Seraphina’s father.The company had survived.Lucien had survived.Seraphina had survived.For the first time, she wasn’t waking up wondering who would betray her next.That morning, she stood in front of the mirror while a stylist adjusted the sleeve of her dress.“You’re smiling,” the woman said.Seraphina glanced at her reflection.“I am?”“Yes.”She touched her lips.“I guess I am.”“You should. You look beautiful.”Seraphina smiled again.She wasn’t wearing anythin

    Morning came quietly.For the first time in months, Seraphina woke without the feeling that something terrible was waiting for her.No threatening messages.No footsteps outside the bedroom.No unknown numbers flashing across her phone.No secrets waiting to destroy everything she loved.Just sunlight.Soft, golden sunlight spilling through the curtains and warming the room.She opened her eyes slowly.Lucien was beside her.He was still asleep, one arm resting across the empty space where she had been moments earlier.Seraphina smiled.There was something almost unbelievable about seeing him like this.Peaceful.Unaware.Human.The man who had once been feared by half the city now slept with his hair slightly messy and his face relaxed.She reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair away from his forehead.His eyes opened.“You’re staring at me.”She laughed softly.“I wasn’t.”“You were.”“I was thinking.”“That sounds dangerous.”She smiled.“About us.”Lucien turned onto his

    Seraphina couldn’t move.She stood frozen behind the concrete pillar, staring at the person who had just stepped into the light.For years, that face had represented safety.Trust.Family.She had never once questioned the loyalty behind those familiar eyes.Now, looking at the gun in his hand, she realized how badly she had been deceived.“Uncle Marcus…”The words barely escaped her lips.Marcus Vale smiled.It wasn’t the warm smile she remembered from childhood.It was cold.Calculated.Almost amused.Lucien immediately stepped in front of Seraphina.Marcus raised his gun.“Don’t,” Seraphina whispered.Lucien glanced back at her.“Stay behind me.”Marcus laughed.“Still playing the protector, Lucien?”Lucien’s jaw tightened.“You’re the one behind everything.”Marcus tilted his head.“Everything?”“The files. My father’s downfall. The attempt to destroy Seraphina’s family. Victor.”Marcus slowly applauded.“Very impressive.”Seraphina’s eyes burned with tears.“Why?”Marcus looked a

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
