“I knew you’d come to that,” Eric said calmly. “That’s why I prepared for it.” His lips curled into a faint smile.

“If I can’t take De Luna through peaceful means,  then I’ll take it by force.”

One of the sector leaders stepped forward. “We’re done here. The rest is yours.” One by one, they exited the hall.

And the moment they did. Rafael’s men began to enter. The shift was immediate.

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   A Wedding in Chains

    Seren woke up and realized she was inside Rafael’s room in the mansion. She immediately jolted upright as the memory of being kidnapped by Eric’s men came rushing back.But… why was she here? Why was she in Rafael’s room?She quickly moved toward the door, only to find it locked. She then stepped onto the terrace and looked down. Tight security surrounded the mansion, guards posted everywhere.The sudden sound of the door opening made her turn. Eric walked in, carrying a large box.“So you’re finally awake, my future wife,” he said with a smirk, placing the box on the bed before slowly walking toward her.Bride? Seren thought, confused. What was he talking about?“W-what are you doing here? Where’s Rafael?” she asked, stepping backward until her back hit the terrace railing. She glanced down briefly before looking back at Eric.“He’s no longer the owner of this mansion. Did you forget? I’m the new master now,” Eric said, pointing at himself. “Didn’t Rafael tell you? And why are you st

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   This Means War

    “What kind of nonsense is this?”Rafael’s voice was cold as he stepped into one of De Luna’s clubs and saw Eric waiting for him. The moment Eric spoke, Rafael felt his temper spike.“You heard me correctly,” Eric said calmly. “I intend to take Seren as my wife.”Silence fell for a split second.“According to De Luna’s code,” Eric continued, “the bride chosen by the former head becomes the wife of the next head.”A faint smile tugged at his lips.“And since Seren was chosen by Bernard, it’s only right that I marry her.”He stepped closer, his tone turning almost amused.“What’s even more interesting is this: once I marry her, I gain the right to use De Luna’s funds.”His gaze locked onto Rafael.“Isn’t that the reason you refuse to let her go? Even after she gave up her position as your bride? Even when you know, she chose someone else?”Rafael’s jaw clenched. If not for the restraint he forced on himself, he would have already lunged at him. But he stayed still. Controlled. Barely.“

    “Seren!”Dean caught up to her just outside the university.She stopped and turned to face him.“Dean…”“What happened to you?” he asked, concern evident in his voice. “Eric told me Rafael took you from the hospital. I didn’t know where to find you. Did he hurt you?”“No,” Seren replied simply.“Then did he threaten you? Is that why you went back with him?”“No. I chose to go with him.”Dean frowned.“Why? I thought we agreed you’d come with me. We were going to get married.”“About that---” Seren cut him off, meeting his gaze. “I don’t think it’s right for us to continue with the marriage.”Dean stared at her.“What did you just say? You don’t want to marry me anymore? Did Rafael force you?”“No. It’s not like that

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   Take It Back or Let Me Take You

    Seren was packing her things when her gaze landed on the brooch resting on the side table beside her bed.Today was her discharge. Dean had already said he would pick her up and take her to his place.The thought made her uneasy. For reasons she didn’t want to admit, she kept looking for Rafael.But ever since Dean arrived, Rafael hadn’t come back. And the truth was. She had been waiting for him.Her fingers paused as she picked up the brooch. She stared at it for a long moment.She was sure she had given this to Eric. So why was it here?Slowly, she sat down on the bed, turning it over in her hand. Memories surfaced.Bernard. He hadn’t given it to her with any ill intention. If anything, it had been the opposite. He gave it to protect her.To welcome her. To make her part of his family. And yet. She hadn’t seen that.Not then. Not when it mattered.“Are you feeling better?”

    “Are you sure about this?”Leon watched as Rafael carefully placed the brooch on the side table inside Seren’s hospital room.It was the same brooch Bernard had given her.Eric had returned it to Rafael, claiming it no longer held any value now that Rafael was no longer the leader of De Luna. And Seren had already refused to become his wife.“You know,” Leon continued, folding his arms, “you’d be better off without her in the picture. Just look at what happened.”From the very beginning, Leon had been against Seren staying in the mansion. Even rescuing her from the underground fighting ring had been something he disagreed with.Leon wasn’t just Rafael’s right-hand man.He had been with him long before Rafael was appointed as the leader of De Luna.They were more than allies. They were brothers.Leon followed Rafael not just because he was his superior, but becau

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   What Remains After Loss

    “What do you think you’re doing?” Rafael stood in front of her, blocking her path.He couldn’t just stand there and watch her fall apart anymore.He already knew Eric had told her she was free from him.But he couldn’t let her stay like this, so weak, so broken, in the middle of the rain.Even though Seren was already dizzy, her vision blurring, she still heard his voice clearly.“Feeling miserable after everything you’ve done?” Rafael said coldly. “Honestly, you deserve it.”“Come on. Stand up.” A hand was extended toward her.Through her blurred vision, she saw it, familiar, steady, reaching for her.Slowly, she lifted her gaze. Even with her weakened state, she recognized him immediately.Rafael. And somehow, that realization made her chest tighten even more.Of all people. It was still him.The one standing in front of her. The one
