Chapter fifteen

Serena's pov

As expected, the cat caught the rat, and the moment Octavia stormed through that office door I already knew how this little performance would end, because Grace Draven suffered from the same disease every spoiled addict suffered from…the ridiculous belief that she was smarter than her own weakness.

Honestly, if arrogance were a medical condition, half of this family would be in intensive care.

  • THE DRAVEN WIFE   chapter sixteen

    Chapter sixteenSerena's POVThe second Octavia left the company with Grace, the entire atmosphere seemed to change, as though everyone had been holding their breath and could finally breathe again, and personally, I thought they were all being dramatic because the woman wasn't a dragon, although, considering the way she commanded an entire building with one look and carried herself like she owned the oxygen in the room, maybe she was a very rich dragon with designer handbags and terrifying authority issues.Either way, the important thing was that I had survived the day and somehow managed to walk away with exactly what I wanted, which was the position beside Paulo at the company, and for now, that was enough because if there was one thing I had learned about the Drav

    Chapter seventeenSerena's POVThe night had grown unusually quiet, and for the first time since stepping into the Draven mansion, I allowed myself a few minutes alone by the pool, watching the water shimmer beneath the lights while the cool breeze brushed against my skin and slowly eased some of the tension from my shoulders.Tomorrow was supposed to be my first official day at the company, the first real step toward everything I had spent years planning, yet instead of feeling victorious, I felt restless, as though the universe was reminding me that nothing involving the Dravens ever came without a price, and I was beginning to suspect I had already paid more than I intended.I closed my eyes and took

Honestly, if arrogance were a medical condition, half of this family would be in intensive care. I remained near the doorway, keeping my expression carefully neutral while satisfaction slowly curled through my chest, because although I hadn't expected things to explode this quickly, I certainly wasn't about to complain about it. Some people spent years waiting for opportunities; I preferred creating them."Mother, what the hell is wrong with you?" Grace snapped the second she saw Octavia, shooting to her feet so quickly her chair nearly tipped over, but beneath the outrage there was something far more interesting lurking behind her eyes; fear…sweet, beautiful

  • THE DRAVEN WIFE   chapter fourteen

    Chapter fourteenSerena’s povBy the time we reached the third designer store, I was beginning to suspect that Chantel believed shopping was an Olympic sport and she was competing for gold. The woman moved from shelf to shelf with the determination of someone trying to save the world one handbag at a time, while Octavia followed at a measured pace with the expression of a queen forced to supervise a particularly exhausting court jester. Personally, I was having the time of my life. Watching people reveal their true personalities when money was involved was one of my favorite hobbies, and Chantel was currently putting on a masterclass in desperation disguised as enthusiasm."Do you think this one is prettier than the black one?" Chantel asked, holding up yet another designer purse as though the fate of humanity depended on the answer.Octavia barely glanced at it before returning her attention to the jewelry display. "I think you already bought three that look exactly the same."Chant

  • THE DRAVEN WIFE   Chapter thirteen

    Chapter thirteen Serena’s POVThe morning no longer felt like morning in the Draven house, it felt like a carefully staged battlefield where every smile was sharpened into a weapon and every silence was just another threat waiting to be spoken aloud, and I sat there watching Octavia’s command ripple through the room like she owned not just the house but the air we were breathing when she finally spoke my name again.“Serena,” Octavia said calmly, setting her napkin down as though she was about to assign executions instead of breakfast instructions, “you were meant to go with Paulo today, yes?”“Yes,” I answered, already feeling the plan I had carefully built in my head start to crack at the edges, because today was supposed to be leverage, strategy, movement, not… this circus.“Grace will take your place,” she continued without looking at me, as though my schedule was something that could be casually erased, and I felt my jaw tighten because nothing about that woman ever felt like a

    Chapter twelveSerena’s povAcross the table, Octavia took another bite, then another, and judging by the fact that she wasn't making a face or reaching for holy water, I assumed that counted as a compliment. It was probably the closest thing the woman offered to praise without a signed contract and written notice, and I would take it.The woman dabbed her lips with a napkin before settling back into her chair, and the look she gave me next felt strangely calculating, almost as though she was moving pieces around a chessboard only she could see."At least one young woman in this house understands where a woman's value begins."Ah.
