“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   Cold-Hearted Devil's Kiss

    “What did you say? Where did she go?” Rafael’s voice was sharp, bordering on commanding. He was in his office, going through reports from his various businesses, when a call from one of his men interrupted him. This was the same agent he had assigned to follow Seren; he knew she hated being watched, but Rafael couldn’t take chances.The agent reported that a young woman had picked Seren up from her university. Rafael instructed him to follow Seren closely and make sure she stayed safe. The agent added that Seren had taken her mother to a police station earlier and that they had seen a man pick them up afterward. Rafael also demanded a picture of the station Seren had visited.“Where is she now?” Rafael asked, standing abruptly.“She’s heading to Club Athena, boss,” the agent replied.“Club Athena? What’s she planning to do there?” Rafael muttered, tension tightening his jaw.At Club Athena, Seren sat alone, the events at the police station still fresh in her mind. The heated confronta

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…It was as if nothing had changed.Or worse---As if everything had fallen apart.“Thank you, Seren.” Anna’s voice was filled with relief as their mother was finally released. Without hesitation, Anna rushed toward her and wrapped her arms around her tightly.Seren stood a few steps away, watching. Their mother remained silent.Distant. Unreadable.“Let’s go,” Seren said after a moment, her voice quieter this time. “You need to get those injuries treated.”Her mother shook her head dismissively. “I

    Anna didn’t say another word as she led Seren away.They moved quickly through the streets, her grip firm, almost desperate—as if she was afraid Seren might disappear if she let go.Seren followed in silence, unease slowly building in her chest.Until--They stopped.Seren’s steps faltered. Her eyes lifted and widened.A police station.The moment the realization sank in, she instinctively pulled her hand free.Confusion flooded her mind.“Why are we here?” she asked, her voice edged with suspicion. “Why did you bring me here?” Anna didn’t answer.Instead, she reached for Seren’s hand again, her fingers tightening as she gently—but insistently pulled her inside.Seren frowned but allowed herself to be led.Inside, the air felt heavy, sterile, suffocating. The faint sound of ringing phones and murmured conversations echoed through the space.They approached the information desk. Anna spoke to one of the officers, her voice low but urgent. Seren barely paid attention until she heard a na

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   The Moment Between Heartbeats

    “Marry me.”The words hung in the air, heavy and unreal.Seren blinked, her thoughts stalling as she stared at Dean. For a moment, she wondered if she had misheard him. But the look on his face, earnest, unguarded, told her otherwise. He was serious.A strange feeling settled in her chest.Yes, she liked him. She had admired him for a long time, long before she ever set foot into this university. But marriage?They barely knew each other.Was this just a spur-of-the-moment decision? A fleeting emotion he hadn’t thought through?And yet. What unsettled her more was not his question, but her own silence.Because she wasn’t rejecting it. Not even close.Instead, her mind drifted somewhere else, somewhere darker.If I marry someone else, would Rafael finally let me go?Her breath caught. His voice echoed in her memory, cold and unyielding.“The only way you can escape me… is if you kill me… or pay your debt ten times over.” Seren’s fingers tightened around the bat still in her hand.Killi

    An hour later, Rafael stepped out of the bathroom, the last traces of tension leaving his body. His hair was still damp, droplets of water trailing down his neck and shoulders. A single towel hung loosely around his waist.The room was quiet.Too quiet.His gaze shifted toward the bed, and there she was.Seren sat curled into herself, her arms wrapped tightly around her body as if trying to hold herself together. For a moment, he thought she was awake.But she didn’t move.A faint crease formed between his brows.This silly girl… he thought.He walked toward her, his steps slow, almost hesitant, before stopping right in front of her.“Hey---” he called softly, placing a hand on her shoulder.No response.Rafael stilled.Only then did he realize she had fallen asleep.A quiet breath escaped him, something between annoyance and something far more complicated.“Stupid girl,” he muttered under his breath.Without another word, he carefully lifted her into his arms. Despite his tone, his m

    “Why did you bring me here?” Seren’s voice trembled slightly as she spoke, her eyes fixed on Rafael. Instead of taking her back to the mansion, he had brought her to a hotel suite. Before she could process it further. Rafael casually removed his coat, loosening his tie as if nothing was out of the ordinary. Her breath caught. When he looked at her again, she instinctively stepped back. “Why do you look like a scared kitten?” he said, his tone almost amused. “I’m not going to eat you.” But the way his eyes moved slowly, deliberately, from head to toe sent a chill down her spine. Seren noticed his gaze drift to her neck. Her hand immediately rose to cover it. The mark. His mark. Rafael only smirked. Then he stepped closer. One step. Then another. Seren retreated instinctively, her heart pounding harder with each step he to

    “Oh, they’re here.”An older man’s voice cut through the low murmur of the room as Rafael entered the ballroom with Seren at his side.The moment they stepped inside, Seren felt her breath hitch.Her eyes quickly scanned the room, and she realized some

    “It’s a surprise to see you here. Do you need a new suit?” the woman asked Rafael, her eyes scanning him from head to toe. “I know exactly what you need.”She reached out, touching his arm.“It’s not for me,” Rafael said casually, brus

    “Rafael.” Seren’s voice came out in surprise the moment she stepped into the mansion and saw him seated in the dining hall with his father. “Seren, hija, you’re back,” the old man greeted warmly. “Come, join us.” She didn’t respond. Silently, she walked over and took the empty seat beside Rafael.
