Seraphina’s POV

“What do you want?”

I didn’t bother standing up from the bed. I dropped my phone onto the mattress, my gaze locked hard on the closed door, every muscle in my body coiled tight.

“Just wanna talk. And if you’re not comfortable in your room, let’s talk downstairs or somewhere else,” his voice filtered through the wood, infuriatingly smooth.

“Talk about what? The last time I checked, we have no business together,” I scoffed, a bitter taste rising in the back of my throat.

    Seraphina’s POV“What do you want?”I didn’t bother standing up from the bed. I dropped my phone onto the mattress, my gaze locked hard on the closed door, every muscle in my body coiled tight.“Just wanna talk. And if you’re not comfortable in your room, let’s talk downstairs or somewhere else,” his voice filtered through the wood, infuriatingly smooth.“Talk about what? The last time I checked, we have no business together,” I scoffed, a bitter taste rising in the back of my throat.“Ain’t you becoming my surrogate? That’s what I wanna talk about. What else are we supposed to talk about!” He snapped back, his voice finally cracking with irritation.“Like I said before. My lawyer will meet you for the rest of the paperwork. Once you’re done signing, let me know,” I shot back, huffing a breath.Silence stretched through the room, heavy and suffocating. I thought he was gone. But then—“Why do you even despise me this much?”His voice cut softly through the quiet, stripped of all its u

    Seraphina’s POVWas all of this even meant to make sense?Yeah, maybe.But it still sounded completely warped, twisted into a shape I refused to recognize.Either way, I was going to say it. I won’t be spending mine nine months of my life fighting tooth and nail, only to crawl back into this exact same loophole and start over from scratch.Definitely not."So that’s all the procedure entails. What do you want in return?" Valentina asked, sitting across from me with her legs crossed.He was right beside her.He didn’t even look like he was listening to us.Sometimes, looking at him, I had to wonder—is he really the same person? Is he the same Caspian I knew years ago?Apparently yes.Only this time, he came back with a completely new name, wearing a new life like an expensive suit. I breathed out hard, turning my full attention to Valentina."What would she possibly request for? She can do it without asking for anything. Don’t bother with her," Mom chimed in, a sweet, sickly smile plas

    Seraphina’s POV“Dad, please!”I choked the words out, my vision swimming behind a heavy, blinding veil of tears. My swollen eyes darted frantically from his cold face to the thick hemp ropes cutting mercilessly into my wrists and anchoring me to the wooden chair.“You mock your sister for having a flaw? Then bear the consequence,” he said, his voice, unyielding as winter ice as he stared down at me from across the room.My gaze dropped, paralyzed with dread, to the man crouched near my feet. He was unlatching a small, metallic black box filled with an array of gleaming, clinical instruments.A fresh wave of hot, silent tears broke over my lashes. The man pulled out a heavy pair of surgical shears. He glanced up; my father gave a single, emotionless nod. I swallowed the dry, choking lump in my throat and thrashed against the chair, kicking my legs wildly, trying to tear myself free from the ropes biting into my ankles.“No—please!”A heavy, calloused hand clamped around my ankle lik

    Seraphina’s POVPulling the soft fabric Cas had brought over my bare body, I walked over to the mirror and stared at my reflection. My skin looked pale, almost translucent under the harsh light, and my eyes were hollowed out, rimmed in red.Sighing, I turned on the tap, splashing cold water over my face and rinsing out my mouth. The bitter taste of alcohol still coated my tongue, heavy and toxic.Drying my face and hands, I walked out of the washroom, my gaze dropping instantly to his silhouette standing near the window of the room. I sucked in a sharp, painful breath, forcing myself to look at him.“Thanks for tonight,” I mumbled, my voice flat, dead. “I’ll be repaying it back.”His brow shot up, a sharp crease forming between his eyes. “What are you talking about?”“The help you offered,” I scoffed bitterly, wrapping my arms tighter around myself. “It’s probably because you need my womb for your precious unborn child, right? So no problem. I’ll see you in the hospital when you’re r

    Seraphina’s POVA cold hand slipped under the edge of the silk, and I violently shoved the person away, pressing my whole weight deeper into the mattress as if I could melt right through the wood and disappear from the world entirely.The hand came back, reaching for me again. I lashed out, shoving it off with a choked sob.“It’s me, Phin.”My eyes flew open at the sound. That voice. Only one person on this earth ever called me that.My blurry gaze locked onto a familiar, carved face, and the fight drained out of me in a single, shattering breath.There he was. The man I had loved through years of silence and ghosts. The same man who had slipped out of my life like smoke, only to crawl back wearing a different name and a terrifying new skin. “Cas,” I muttered, the weight of the night crushing my chest. If only he wasn't married to Valentina.If only.His hand reached for me again, cautious this time. I didn't push him away. Instead, I launched myself forward, burying my face blind

  • Locked In The Billionaire’s Sanctuary   Chapter 3

    Seraphina’s POV“Something heavy,”I told the bartender, my voice a hollow, floating above the bass vibrating through the floorboards. He dropped a heavy glass jar in front of me, sloshing with something neon and toxic. I muttered a thank you, lifted it, and swallowed it whole.Liquid fire tore down my throat, making my lungs seized, a violent cough ripped out of me as hot, furious tears spilled over my lashes. A hand landed on my back, heavy and soothing.“Back off,” I choked out, shoving the hand away, before snapping my head forward, gasping for air that felt too thin to breathe.I took another sip after regulating my breathing, letting the numbness creep in, staring into the pulsing neon blur of the club. The bass a distant heartbeat in my ears.Okay, so my life is officially over. No?Asked to be a surrogate for Valentina and him? The exact same guy I gave my heart to years ago, the one who left scars that never quite faded? And now, just when I foolishly thought I might final
