Chapter 3

Author: Cocojam
The kiss was a challenge. Raw, possessive.

I had no reaction. So she pushed further, sliding her hand inside Lucian’s shirt.

Lucian’s face flushed. His muscles tensed.

He struggled for a second under her touch, then surrendered completely.

Their panting echoed in the quiet room. The bodyguards outside glanced in, curious.

In the past, I would have gone insane if she had even touched his hand.

I would have lunged, ready to tear her apart.

But now, I just sat there. A statue.

When they finally broke apart, Lucian stared at me, his face a mask of disbelief.

“Seraphina, you just watched me with another woman… You feel nothing?”

I slowly lowered my head.

“Chloe wanted you. You didn't refuse. Of course, I have to be a good girl and obey.”

In that moment, the look on Chloe and Lucian's faces cracked.

My parents and Sebastian walked back in, confused.

Chloe smiled. A vicious glint in her eyes.

“Dad, Mom, maybe Seraphina just developed a strong stomach in the slums. Why don’t we… let the family’s interrogators handle this.”

Sebastian nodded eagerly.

“Right. They break stubborn traitors for a living. If she can withstand an interrogation, then we can trust her.”

My parents hesitated.

A flicker of guilt in their eyes.

“Seraphina, it’s just a little test. Just bear with it.”

I nodded obediently. My eyes were calm.

Just then, two of the family’s enforcers walked in.

One held a high-voltage taser. He pressed it to my shoulder, the electric buzz filling the air.

I didn’t move away.

In fact, I leaned into it.

ZZZZAP!

The current ripped through me. My heart seized.

But I bit my lip. Not a sound.

This was nothing. Nothing compared to three years ago. I caught Lucian and Chloe in the study. They threw me into the slums. Punks beat and robbed me on the frozen streets.

Thanks to Chloe. She paid those street thugs.

They broke my legs. I survived in the filthiest alleys, fueled by revenge.

Until The System told me. Die in absolute obedience, and you can go home with billions.

So I learned.

No matter how they humiliated me, no matter how they stomped on me, I would not fight back.

The electricity stopped.

I slumped on the bed, drenched in cold sweat. Smoke curled from my chest.

Chloe stared at me, disbelieving. She snarled.

“Keep going! I don't believe she’s this obedient!”

The two enforcers exchanged a look.

They pulled out a syringe. A truth serum. A hallucinogen meant to break a person's mind. They jammed it into my vein and pushed the plunger.

Everyone was sure of it. My “obedient” act was about to crumble. I would break down, cry, and beg for mercy, just like before.

Instead, I gave them a chilling smile.

The drug spread through my veins. A fire exploded in my gut.

The searing pain in my insides made me gag. I coughed up thick, dark blood that stained my hospital gown.

Every breath was pure agony.

My face turned ashen. Gray and lifeless from the drugs and pain.

My vision started to fade. The world went dark.

    The cold muzzle of the gun pressed against Chloe's forehead. The metal touch froze her. Her eyes were wide with terror.“Lucian… you can’t shoot.” Her voice was a wreck. Her hands flew to her stomach. “I’m carrying the Don’s heir. If you kill me, you kill your own child!”Lucian’s finger was on the trigger, his knuckle white.I watched from the system space, a cold smile on my lips.There it was again. The same trick she used by the driveway, on the terrace.Lucian didn't shoot.He lowered the gun and viciously backhanded her across the face.The force sent her flying. She crashed hard onto the cold marble floor.As she fell, a silicone fake belly slipped out from under her dress. It landed at the feet of a senior Capo.Dead silence.The Capo bent down, picked it up with two fingers, and tossed it away in disgust.“The heir,” he sneered, his voice full of contempt for someone who would defile the boss's bloodline. “So it was all a lie. A disgrace to the family.”Chloe was a mess on the

    The silence stretched on, suffocating.My father looked up, his lips trembling, but no words came out.He wanted to argue, to defend himself. But every diary entry Lucian read was solid proof, blocking every escape.“Say something!” Lucian whirled around, his blurry eyes glaring at his former father- and mother-in-law. His voice was completely shattered from screaming. “Why did you even bring her into this world?! You dragged her into this mob life and threw her to the wolves!”The question seemed to drain the last of his strength.He collapsed to his knees, clutching his hair, and sobbed.“She was so proud, so strong… All she ever wanted was a little love. A little approval. And what did you give her? What did you treat her as?!”He grabbed the crumpled, fake psychiatric report from his pocket and threw it on the floor.“This is all fake!” his roar almost brought down the ceiling. “You killed her! You pushed her to the edge, again and again, until you finally pushed her off!”I floate

    The words cut through the silence like a knife.The room froze. A few soldiers loyal to the Don put their hands on their guns.The triumphant look on Chloe’s face vanished. She was completely blindsided.She staggered back a step. “Lucian, what… what are you talking about?”Sebastian shot to his feet, shielding Chloe. His arm was still wrapped in bloody bandages, but he slipped right into his Underboss role.“Lucian, are you insane? What are you doing at Seraphina’s funeral?!” his voice shook with a near-hysterical panic. “Don’t talk nonsense! Chloe is carrying your child, she has the right—”“Shut up.”Lucian’s voice was ice. He didn’t look at Sebastian. He walked straight to the large screen at the front of the chapel.It was supposed to be for a memorial slideshow. My photo was still on it.He plugged in the laptop. His fingers stabbed at the keyboard.“You’ve all been fooled.” His voice was hoarse. Every word was forced from his throat. “From the very beginning, you were all fooled

    The doctor’s throat bobbed. He couldn’t meet Lucian’s bloodshot eyes.“Don… Miss Seraphina… didn't make it. Massive internal bleeding from the fall. I’m so sorry.”The air vanished from the room.Lucian’s tall frame swayed. He fell straight backward. The back of his head hit the cold floor with a crack. He was unconscious again.The hallway erupted in chaos. High-ranking family members rushed forward, their faces grim.My mother collapsed, beating the floor with her fists, howling like a wounded animal.My father slid down the wall, looking ten years older in an instant. His eyes were empty. A walking corpse.Sebastian was on the ground, scrambling for something. He found it in a corner. A shard of the emerald pendant he had smashed.He clenched it in his fist. The sharp edges cut his palm. Blood dripped through his fingers.“Seraphina… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” he repeated like a madman, kneeling on the cold tiles. “Wake up, please wake up, I’ll give you anything…”I floated in the air,

    The moment the thud echoed, my consciousness was ripped from my body.I floated, a kite with a broken string, looking down at the twisted form below.My body lay on the cold marble floor of the estate, bent at an unnatural angle. An arm was broken backwards, the bones of my violin-playing fingers piercing through pale skin.Blood spread from my head, a dark red stain under the bright crystal chandelier.[Protagonist deceased. System taking over consciousness. Observation mode engaged.]The System's cold voice rang in my head.So this is what it’s like to be dead. The pain is gone.I felt nothing but a strange lightness.Down below, it was chaos. The family's men in black suits swarmed the area, panicked.“Seraphina—!”My mother’s scream tore through the night. Her legs gave out. She collapsed at the edge of the pool of blood, hands clamped over her mouth, shaking like a leaf in the wind.My father stood beside her, his face ashen, lips trembling. He couldn't make a sound.The composure

    Finally, my parents saw my body. Twitching, dying, ravaged by the drugs. They let out a grief-stricken cry.My mother covered her mouth, heavy tears rolling down her cheeks.“Seraphina… why didn’t you fight back?”She stumbled to my bedside, her whole body shaking. She stared at the black blood on my lips.“Did you… did you suffer so much in the slums that your mind broke? Tell me. Mama will make it up to you…”Make it up to me?Where was this energy when you threw me in the slums three years ago?Lucian walked over.He looked at my lifeless, bloody face. A long-lost look of heartbreak crossed his features.“I’m sorry… Seraphina…” his voice choked. “Why are you so foolish? I’ll protect you from now on. I’ll never let anyone hurt you again…”I slowly turned my head to look at him.Then, I weakly shook my head.My voice was like sandpaper. My vocal cords were shredded.“You… won’t. You… you threw me into the slums yourself… How could you… protect me?”The words hit Lucian and my parents
