It had been two weeks since the Maldives trip, and Seraphine hadn’t seen Ezra once.

She’d called him so many times she lost count, but his line was always busy or just straight-up unreachable. Sometimes she’d sit with her phone in her lap, staring at his name on the screen, hoping he’d magically appear at her door like before. But he never did. He wasn’t showing up in classes either. And the worst part? Every time she turned on the TV or scrolled her feed, there he was—Ezra Hale—next to Ivy Cruz. Fancy events. Dinners. Smiling pictures. The whole world seemed to love them together.

Seraphine wanted to scream.

She tried to focus on her books. Finals were only four weeks away. But how could she study when Cassian’s stupid voice and words from the resort kept playing in her head? “Pathetic.” “Weak.” “Stay Ezra’s plaything.” Ugh. That jerk lived rent-free in her brain and it pissed her off.

Sometimes at night, she lay awake staring at the ceiling, replaying them over and over. She couldn’

    It makes no sense. Seraphine clicked again, digging deeper. Another article came up. “Kane Innovations secures Greenstone Energy Project. A huge win for Maxwell Kane.”She remembered him talking about it once, right at the dinner table. He looked so proud. But then her smile dropped when she read the follow-up. “Greenstone Energy Project awarded to Hale Corporation following Maxwell Kane’s death.”Her stomach twisted. So Dad gets a huge project… then dies… and it goes straight to the Hales. She rubbed her temple and kept scrolling.“Hale Corporation on the verge of bankruptcy.”“Hale Corporation suspected to be tied to illegal dealings.”“CEO Jonathan Hale accused of mafia connections, illegal shipments under investigation.”Seraphine’s mouth went dry. “What the actual f**k…”Her finger hovered, then scrolled further. July 27th.“Tragedy: Businessman Maxwell Kane dies in car accident.”“Hale family steps in to support Kane’s widow and daughter.”“Hale Corporation hires top lawyer

    When Seraphine reached home, her mom wasn’t back yet. The house felt too quiet, too small compared to the Hale mansion she had just left. She dropped her bag on the couch and went straight to her room.The second the door shut, she lost it.She screamed into her pillow, her whole body shaking. She threw the pillow across the room, then the blanket, then her books. Tears streamed down her face.“Why, Ezra?” she cried out, voice cracking. “Why the f**k would you do this to me?”Memories hit her hard. Ezra holding her hand when they were kids. Ezra promising he’d always protect her. Telling her he loved her.All of it felt like lies now. Like he is just stringing her along.She curled up on the bed, shaking, her tears soaking the sheets.By the time her mom got home, Seraphine had cried herself into exhaustion. She quickly wiped her face, pretending she had just been reading. But her swollen eyes gave her away.“Sweetheart, what’s wrong?” her mom asked softly.Seraphine forced a smile. “

    The door to the study opened with a soft creak and Clarissa Hale walked in, tall and elegant like always. Her black dress looked expensive, her hair neat, not even one strand out of place. She smiled, but it wasn’t warm.“Seraphine,” she said softly.“Good evening, ma’am,” Seraphine stood up quickly.“Sit,” Clarissa waved her hand. She sat across from Seraphine, crossing her legs.“I’m going to go straight to the point,” she said.Seraphine nodded slowly. “Okay…”“Stay away from Ezra.”Seraphine blinked hard. She thought she had misheard. “W-what?”Clarissa tilted her head, smiling like she was joking, but her eyes were sharp. “You heard me dear. Stay away from my son. Don’t act dumb. Or maybe…” she tilted her head more, you really are dumb.”Seraphine’s lips parted. “I’m sorry, what's happening here? Why would you even say that?”“Because you’re ruining his life,” Clarissa’s voice cut sharp like glass.“That’s not true—”“Oh shut up,” Clarissa stood up, heels clicking against the flo

    Miss Kane.”Seraphine froze. The voice was deep, smooth, but carried a sting that made her heart race faster than it should. She turned slowly, eyes wide.Cassian Veyra stood there, tall, sharp suit even though it was late, dark hair pushed back, his gaze cutting right through her.Her mouth went dry. “How… how do you know my name?”One corner of his lips lifted into something that wasn’t quite a smile. More like mockery. “Seraphine Kane. Daughter and only child of Maxwell Kane.” He said it like he was reciting a file. “The man who once built an empire out of nothing. The man whose death in a car crash left his family broken. And his little girl and wife who lost everything. Even the house he built with his own hands.”Her chest tightened. The way he said it—so cold, so factual. “And then,” Cassian continued, voice dripping with sarcasm, “the noble Hale family swoops in, takes you and your mother in. Saints, aren’t they? Training you, clothing you, feeding you. A charity case wrapped

    “Please... let me in. I need to explain.”Seraphine's grip on the doorframe was tight. “What are you doing here?”He stepped inside without waiting for her permission. The familiar smell of his cologne wrapped around her like smoke.“I had to see you,” Ezra said. “Please, just hear me out.”Seraphine let out a shaky laugh. “Hear you out? You stood there tonight while your father announced your marriage to Ivy Cruz. And you didn’t say a word.”Ezra winced at her tone but didn’t back down. “It’s not what it looks like—”“Not what it looks like?” Seraphine snapped, her voice rising. “You let me believe I mattered. That night, at the balcony...”He ran his hands through his hair, pacing. “I didn’t have a choice. My father—”“Don’t,” she cut him off sharply. “Don’t put this on your father. You could’ve stood up. You could’ve said something. But you didn’t.”His jaw clenched, his voice turning rough. “Do you think I want this? Do you think I give a damn about Ivy?!”“Then why?” Seraphine sh
