“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 something unsettling.

Out of everyone's presence, only three were women. Including her.

The other two appeared to be in their late thirties, composed and self-assured, speaking effortlessly

    “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 something unsettling.Out of everyone's presence, only three were women. Including her.The other two appeared to be in their late thirties, composed and self-assured, speaking effortlessly among the men as if they fully belonged in this world.Unlike her.“So, the young Head of De Luna has finally decided to show up,” one of the women remarked, her gaze settling on Rafael before shifting to Seren.Just like the designer earlier, her eyes swept over Seren from head to toe.Assessing. Judging.“You even brought someone,” she added, a hint of irritation in her tone.“This is your first gathering as the new leader

    “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, brushing her hand off, then turning to glance at the girl standing behind him.Seren caught the subtle raise of the woman’s eyebrows the moment she saw her.“She is----?” the woman asked, curiosity flickering across her face. “You can’t be telling me she’s your sister, you’re an only child. If she were a cousin, maybe… but she doesn’t look like it.”Seren’s lips parted slightly.What’s wrong with my appearance? She thought, irritation flaring. She looked at Rafael, but his face gave nothing away, which only made her more frustrated.“Can you find something that will fit her?

    “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.“How’s school?” Rafael asked, glancing at her.“It’s fine,” Seren replied softly.Rafael studied her for a brief moment.As always she was distant. Cold.Still keeping her space from him.“Even if you’ve already shown them what you’re capable of,” his father began, turning his attention back to him, “we still can’t be certain no one will challenge you. You’re young. They’ll see you as vulnerable an easy target.”“Then I’ll just prove them wrong,” Rafael answered

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   The Queen No One Knows

    “Is it true? The fiancée of the new Head of De Luna is already studying here? And what’s more exciting, she’s in our department.”The words drifted across the cafeteria just as Seren stepped inside.She froze. She had heard it many times before from Rafael’s father himself. That he wanted her to marry Rafael. From the very first day she was brought into the De Luna estate.But it had never been discussed formally. Never confirmed.And yet, hearing it now, from strangers, it suddenly felt real.“I heard that too,” another girl chimed in. “But no one knows who she is. Her identity is completely hidden. No one even knows where she came from.”“Some say she might be from one of their business partners,” a third added. “But one thing’s clear, the young master of De Luna is no longer available. Just when I started fantasizing about him,” she sighed dramatica

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   Blood as a Message

    The old man looked up in surprise as a young man entered the private room inside the club.Inside, the old man sat at the head of a table, a glass of liquor in hand, while two bodyguards stood silently behind him. The atmosphere was heavy, thick with authority and unspoken danger.“If it isn’t the young devil of the De Luna Syndicate,” the old man said, his tone amused yet cautious as he watched the newcomer walk in with two men dressed in black suits.“Mr. Romero. Nice to meet you too,” the young man replied with a faint smile before taking the empty seat across from him.“I don’t wish to speak with you,” Romero said coldly, already preparing to stand. “I want to talk to your father. If it’s not the head of your group, then I have no business here.”He was about to rise when-----BANG!The young man slammed his hand against the table.The sharp sound echoed through the room, instantly thickening the tension.Both of Romero’s bodyguards reacted immediately, pulling out their guns and

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   The Illusion of Home

    “Mom---” Seren called softly.The woman heard her and froze mid-step.It was as if she had been struck by lightning the moment she saw Seren. A gentle smile bloomed on Seren’s lips as her eyes took in her mother’s face. Though she looked thinner now, deep wrinkles marking the years that had passed, Seren could still see the beauty she remembered in the face she had longed for all this time.When the guests noticed Lena had stopped moving, their attention shifted toward Seren. Her older brother and father also paused, their eyes landing on her… and on the bags she carried. Shock was evident on their faces.It wasn’t surprising. Anyone would be startled if a stranger suddenly appeared outside their home.“Well now,” one of the men beside her brother said, chuckling. “That’s quite a guest you have, Lena, Lucas. She looks like she came from a wealthy family.”Don’t they recognize me? Seren wondered. Then again, she had been only ten years old when she left this place. Seven years had pass
