“I’m not helping you,” Seren said coldly, her gaze fixed on her mother. “I’m helping her.” She didn’t wait for a response.

Turning away from the cell, she walked straight toward one of the officers and spoke to him about the bail. Her voice was steady, composed—but inside, everything felt heavy.

This wasn’t how she imagined seeing them again. Not like this.

In her mind, they were supposed to be living well, comfortably, even happily, after everything. After the money.

But looking at them now…

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   My Source of Strength

    When Seren arrived at the De Luna headquarters, she was immediately greeted by Rafael’s men.“Good afternoon, Lady Boss!” The loud and enthusiastic welcome startled her.Apparently, Rafael had already informed everyone that she was his girlfriend and instructed them to treat her warmly whenever she visited.One of his men even escorted her to the elevator and informed her that Rafael was waiting for her in his office.Seren still had no idea why Rafael had specifically asked her to come.When she reached the executive floor, Kim was already waiting for her.“He’s expecting you,” Kim said before opening the office door.Seren was about to ask him a question, but he had already returned to his desk.With a small shrug, she stepped inside.The moment she entered, she found Rafael seated behind his desk, leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed. Several files were scattered across the desk, evidence of the workload he

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   A Heart Already Taken

    "We need to talk." Rafael found Cleo in the kitchen early the next morning.He had spent the entire night thinking. Thinking about Seren. Thinking about Cleo.Thinking about the arrangement that had suddenly resurfaced after years of being forgotten. And after considering everything, he had finally made a decision.He needed to tell Cleo the truth. The last thing he wanted was to give her false hope. There would be no wedding.At least not between the two of them. If there was anyone Rafael wanted to marry, it was Seren. He had known that for a long time.And before Cleo became even more attached to a future that would never happen, she deserved to know."Good morning." Cleo looked up from the breakfast she was preparing.The cheerful greeting faded when she noticed the seriousness in Rafael's expression.Something was wrong. She immediately sensed it."Sure." She set down what she was doing and turned to face him.

    "Can't sleep?" Seren's voice broke the silence of the night.Rafael glanced over his shoulder and found her standing nearby. He was sitting beside the pool, lost in thought."Sleep hasn't found me yet," Rafael replied. "What about you? Why are you still awake?""The same reason." Seren walked toward the pool and sat on the edge, dipping her feet into the cool water. A soft smile appeared on her lips."Meanwhile, my newly acquired big sister is already deep in dreamland.""Big sister?" Rafael stood and walked over to her. "You don't sound very happy about having one."Seren looked up at him. "It might have been nice if this big sister wasn't claiming to be your fiancée." Her voice was calm, but Rafael immediately recognized the hint of annoyance beneath it."You seem to have quite a few fiancées." She tilted her head slightly."Where does that leave me?"Rafael's lips curved upward. "Are you jealous?"Seren met his gaze. "

    "Well?" Cleo leaned forward expectantly as Seren sampled the dish she had prepared. Her eyes never left Seren's face.She watched every reaction carefully, waiting for the verdict.After taking another bite, Seren finally looked up. She had no intention of lying.The food was genuinely delicious. Seren knew how to cook, but even she had to admit that she couldn't make something this good."It's amazing." The compliment came naturally. A bright smile immediately spread across Cleo's face."Really?" She looked delighted."Do you know how many years it took me to perfect that dish?" She rested her chin on her palm. "And here's a secret."Her smile widened. "I became a chef just so I could learn how to cook all of Rafael's favorite meals."Seren couldn't help feeling impressed. That level of dedication was extraordinary. Unfortunately, someone else clearly disagreed."For the record," Rafael said from the doorway, "you becam

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   Two Women, One Problem

    "I honestly thought you'd be an actual little girl." Cleo tilted her head as she looked Seren up and down. "You know... a little, little sister."She laughed. "I didn't expect you to be a grown woman."Seren stared at her. For a moment, she was completely speechless. The longer Cleo spoke, the more irritated she became.She still didn't know why the woman had suddenly appeared in their house. And she was already beginning to dislike her.Whether Cleo was Rafael's friend or not, Seren couldn't stand the way she spoke.It wasn't exactly rude. But there was something about her tone that rubbed Seren the wrong way.Rafael immediately noticed. "You're overthinking things."His voice was calm. "It's been years since Dad talked to you about her."He glanced at Seren. "She couldn't stay a child forever." The emphasis on the last sentence wasn't lost on Seren. She narrowed her eyes at him.Rafael suddenly felt a chill run down hi

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   Two Words Too Many : Little Sister

    "Rafael!"A cheerful female voice suddenly rang through the office the moment Rafael stepped inside De Luna Corporation.Everyone froze. Before anyone could react, a young woman rushed toward him and threw her arms around him.Leo, Trisha, Kim, and Daniel, who were already inside Rafael's office, exchanged stunned glances.Even Rafael himself was caught completely off guard."Cleo?" His eyes widened as he gently pulled her back to get a better look at her face. The surprise on his expression was impossible to hide."Cleo, what are you doing here?"The young woman pouted playfully. "Well, at least you still remember me."She crossed her arms. "You haven't contacted me in ages. I was beginning to think you'd forgotten all about me."Before Rafael could respond, she slipped her arm around his and rested her head on his shoulder as though it were the most natural thing in the world.Several pairs of eyes immediately t

    “Seren!” The voice came rushing before the girl did.Seren had just stepped out of the university gates when a figure ran straight toward her, wrapping their arms tightly around her without warning.She froze. “Anna?”Shock flickered across her face as she pulled back slightly, searching her sister’

    “It’s a surprise to see you here.”The voice cut cleanly through the quiet field.The man stepped onto the soccer pitch, brows knitting slightly as he took in the bright floodlights. At this hour, the place should’ve been empty. Silent. But instead. A ball slammed into the net.Then another. And ano

    “You’re finally awake.”Rafael’s voice drifted from across the room.Seren stirred, her body heavy as she pushed herself upright. The world came back to her in fragments: dim lighting, the low hum of air conditioning, the faint glow of a laptop screen. Her gaze landed on him.He sat on the sofa, pos

    “I warned you never to betray me,” Rafael said coldly. “But you didn’t listen. You even allied yourself with my enemy, selling them information.” His gaze darkened. “What? You thought you could defeat me?”A humorless smile tugged at his lips.“You can use every dirty, underhanded trick you can thin
