Masuk“You’re bleeding,” Seren said worriedly as she hurried toward Rafael and grabbed his injured arm carefully.
She frowned deeply while staring at the blood staining his sleeve.
“What do you think you are? Made of steel?” she scolded him softly. “We should go to the hospital and get that treated immediately.”
“Hospital?” Rafael laughed lightly. “It’s just a small wound. It’s nowhere near fatal.”
Seren pulled her hand away from Rafael’s grip.“I can walk on my own,” she said coldly.Rafael had found her at the reception area of a hotel. She had refused to go back home, so she decided to check in instead. She still had no idea how he discovered the location of that hotel. He had suddenly appeared there and dragged her out before she could even protest.After freeing herself from him, Seren stopped walking. Her eyes instinctively fell on the bandage wrapped around his arm. No matter how hard she tried to hide it, concern still flashed across her face.She hadn’t gone home the night before because she was upset. Every time she remembered how Rafael seemed to listen to Trisha more than her, irritation burned inside her chest. And when he called her his “little wife,” it only felt like another one of his games—empty teasing that meant nothing to him at all.“What?” Rafael asked after noticing

It’s nowhere near fatal.”“Kahit sanay ka sa mga ganito, you still shouldn’t ignore it,” Seren argued stubbornly.Rafael simply smiled at her reaction.Honestly. Seeing her worry about him felt strangely refreshing.“What are you doing?” Rafael suddenly asked after noticing Seren reaching for the buttons of his coat.He immediately grabbed her hand.“We’re in broad daylight,” he teased with a grin. “Can’t you wait until we
Whispers filled the inside of the bus as several young women kept stealing glances at Rafael, who stood beside Seren’s seat.The bus was crowded with commuters, leaving Rafael no choice but to remain standing after they boarded. Seren couldn’t help but notice the girls openly staring at him. Some of them were even whispering about how handsome he was and wondering why someone dressed in such an expensive suit was riding public transportation.“What’s wrong?”Rafael slightly lowered his head to speak to Seren after noticing how she kept her gaze lowered.“They’re talking about you,” Seren whispered back quietly.Rafael straightened before calmly glancing around the bus. His eyes landed on a group of girls who immediately smiled shyly at him after noticing his attention.Seren followed his gaze and saw the girls grinning at him.She instantly looked back at Rafael, curious about his reacti
The following morning, Seren walked downstairs only to be greeted by an unfamiliar scene.“Good morning, Miss Seren,” Kim greeted cheerfully as he passed by her and headed toward the kitchen.Seren blinked in confusion.She hadn’t waited for any of them the previous night. After everything that happened at Eric’s mansion and the chaos at the street circuit, she had gone straight to her room. Honestly, even now, everything still felt unreal, like she had only dreamed the entire thing.Her gaze shifted toward the dining area.Leon and Kim were already seated at the table together with Rafael and a woman Seren had never seen before.She unconsciously narrowed her eyes. So she’s part of Rafael’s group, too?And admittedly. The woman was beautiful.She looked mature and confident, wearing a fitted black jacket that made her look more like a rider than an ordinary woman.“Why are you just standing there?”Rafael’s voice pulled Seren out of her thoughts.She immediately looked at him.Leon a
Rafael and Seren returned to the house in complete silence. Throughout the entire drive, Rafael did not say a single word. Even after they entered the mansion, the suffocating silence remained.Seren already knew he was furious, especially after what had happened earlier.As they walked toward the living room, Rafael suddenly stopped. Seren halted as well, startled when he abruptly turned around to face her.“What exactly do you think you were doing?” Rafael asked coldly. “I didn’t bring you there so you could start a fight.”His sharp eyes burned with anger as he stepped closer.“Do you even realize what could’ve happened if I hadn’t been there? Do you know what kind of place that was?” His jaw tightened. “You’re reckless. Stupid enough to throw yourself into danger without thinking.”“Stupid?” Seren repeated in disbelief.Her irritation immediately flared.“Excuse me? Maybe you’re forgetting that you were the one who dragged me there in the first place.” Her voice rose as she glared
“We’re just going to stand here and watch?” Seren asked sharply. “Maybe you can, but I can’t.”She was about to step forward again when sudden screams erupted from the crowd.The noise spread through the underground circuit like wildfire, pulling everyone’s attention toward the entrance.Seren turned instinctively. A tall man dressed in a black racing suit had just arrived, and the crowd around him exploded with excitement. People rushed toward him, calling his name, some even raising their phones to take pictures.The man walked with effortless confidence, as if he owned the entire place.Seren blinked in surprise.“Who is he?” she asked. “Why does everyone seem obsessed with him?”“That’s the favorite racer tonight,” Leon replied as he stepped beside her. “One of the best drivers here.”The racer’s gaze swept across the crowd
