“Why are you alone? Where is she?” Rafael demanded the moment Kim stepped into the mansion, without Seren.

He had ordered his assistant to pick her up from the university.

But now, Kim had returned alone. And Rafael noticed immediately.

The irritation on his face darkened. Kim straightened slightly.

“I went to the university, but she was already gone. One of the guards said she left with a young girl and a man,” he reported carefully.

Rafael’s eyes narrowed.

Kim continued, “I showed them photos

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   A Conversation That Changed Everything

    As Rafael drove home, his thoughts were in complete disarray. He couldn't stop replaying the events of the previous night. What had happened between him and Cleo?What had he done?Why had he woken up in her bed without any clothes on?The last thing he remembered was drinking the coffee she had prepared for him and suddenly feeling dizzy. The realization made his jaw tighten.He was furious with himself.He was a master strategist---a man who always stayed several steps ahead of everyone else. He was cautious by nature and never lowered his guard.Yet somehow, Cleo had managed to outplay him. And worse, he had fallen victim to such a cheap and obvious trick.He didn't know whether to pity himself or be angry at his own stupidity. For the first time in a very long while, Rafael felt completely unsettled."Rafael!" Seren's voice broke through his thoughts.The moment she spotted his car from the window, she rushed outside

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   Because I Trust You

    “What happened?” Seren asked when she noticed Rafael looking troubled after ending a phone call. They were at home when Rafael received a call from the manager of one of his clubs.“The manager said Cleo is at Club Gemini,” Rafael replied as he turned toward her. “She's drunk.”Seren immediately noticed the concern in his expression.She couldn't blame him.Cleo was his childhood friend. They had known each other for years. It was only natural for Rafael to worry about her.And if she was being honest with herself, Seren was fairly certain the reason Cleo had gotten drunk was because of the conversation she and Rafael had earlier.“Do you need to go see her?” Seren asked.“I'll ask Kim to take her back to her hotel—”“I think you should go.”Rafael stopped mid-sentence and looked at her in surprise. Seren knew very well how Cleo felt about him.

    “Raffy!”Cleo’s cheerful voice rang through the office as she suddenly burst through the door. The moment Seren heard it, she instinctively pushed Rafael away and quickly stood up. Both of them turned toward the unexpected visitor.Cleo froze. Seren froze.Even Rafael looked momentarily caught off guard.For several awkward seconds, the three of them simply stared at one another.Seren had no idea what to do.She glanced at Rafael, only to find that he looked just as surprised by Cleo’s sudden appearance.Rafael’s gaze shifted past Cleo and landed on Kim, who stood helplessly behind her.The assistant looked as though he was having a silent panic attack.Apparently, Cleo had managed to get past him before he could stop her.“What brings you here?” Rafael asked as he rose from his chair and walked toward Cleo.As he passed Seren, he discreetly squeezed her hand, silently reassuring her to stay calm.H

  • 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.

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   A Kiss for Reassurance

    "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. "

    “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

    Rafael didn’t answer. He didn’t have to. She already knew. He would not be her choice.“I was dragged into your world,” she said, voice firmer now, “into your rules, your enemies, your decisions.”“You don’t get to stand here and ask me what I want after deciding everything for me.”

    “A hundred million, going once,” the auctioneer announced, her voice echoing across the grand hall. A pause followed, thick, expectant.“A hundred million, going twice.”Her fingers tightened around the gavel.“Sold---for one hundred million to Mr. Rafael De Luna.” The gavel
