Seraphina’s POV

“I'm so sorry for your loss,” I heard for the hundredth time that day, and I only replied with a bow as I watched people walk out of the funeral hall. I couldn't believe they were all here for my mother's funeral; everything still felt so unreal till this morning when I saw her body dressed in a coffin.

I had thought this was all a prank and my mother would wake up soon, but that was my wishful thinking. I didn't even know how to grieve her, or should I say I didn't know how to

  • The Hired Gigolo Is My Husband's Son    Chapter 158

    Seraphina’s POV I tried to digest the newfound information, but I couldn't connect the dots. Why would Leon kill my mother? I didn't think they had ever even met.Could it be that Scarlett put her to it? I didn't care; he would have to tell me about it. “You crazy junkie!” I screamed as I grabbed Leon by the collar, staring hard into his hazed, unfocused face. I didn't care about anything; I just wanted to force the truth out of him.I would smash his skull open even if I had to. “What do you say you do to my mother? Talk to me clearly!” I snapped, but the man snatched his collar from me and pushed me to the floor, screaming like a maniac. “I killed her, so what! I killed that bitch!” He hissed as he burst into laughter. I hissed in pain as my back slammed against the couch, not minding the pain as I dragged myself from the floor and headed towards the restroom, got some water, and walked back to the living room as I watched Leon keep sniffing the drugs again. It was as if his li

    Seraphina’s POV“I'm so sorry for your loss,” I heard for the hundredth time that day, and I only replied with a bow as I watched people walk out of the funeral hall. I couldn't believe they were all here for my mother's funeral; everything still felt so unreal till this morning when I saw her body dressed in a coffin.I had thought this was all a prank and my mother would wake up soon, but that was my wishful thinking. I didn't even know how to grieve her, or should I say I didn't know how to grieve properly. We had fought a lot, but losing her was a fatal blow to my face; I didn't think I could ever survive. Where was I going to start from?That woman gave me everything; she was ready to even deal with the devil as long as he guaranteed I wouldn't suffer anymore. She definitely had her flaws, but she was my muse, and I hated myself that I didn't get to treat her well before she left.That was my biggest regret. But I promised to get back at everyone involved in her death, which was

    Xavier's POVI waited patiently inside the van while I listened to the officers groaning outside. After a while, the sound of gunfire finally died down, but I didn't step out until Gerald climbed into the van with the handcuff keys."I'm sorry I came late, Boss," he said with a respectful bow, his gun tucked behind his waist.A small smile tugged at my lips. Gerald really was a godsend. I silently blessed the day I met that man."No," I replied, grateful. "I'm just thankful you came for me, Gerald." I extended my cuffed hands toward him. "Here."He hurried over and unlocked the cuffs. The metal clattered to the floor. I stood up and stepped out of the van. The cool breeze slapped against my face.I'd never appreciated the feeling of freedom as much as I did in that moment."Boss, you're back!" my men chorused, lowering their heads respectfully.I gave them a faint smile.They all looked worried after seeing how exhausted and haggard I appeared, but they knew better than to ask questio

  • The Hired Gigolo Is My Husband's Son    Chapter 155

    Xavier's POVThe night I spent in the holding cell was gruesome—not because I was bullied or anything, but because I couldn't sleep a wink. I was tormented by how thoroughly Romano had caught me off guard, and for the first time in a long while, I found myself doubting my own abilities.Knowing Scarlett might be at his mercy unsettled me even more.He had been cruel enough to murder the woman he'd had an affair with. I wouldn't put it past him to be even crueler to the wife he believed had betrayed him."That monster would even swallow his own child if he wanted to," I muttered, rubbing my hands together.I could only hope Gerald's plan worked, because I had no intention of getting transferred to North Prison.I'd overheard the detectives talking the previous night. They had been discussing my transfer there. When I asked the other inmates about it, they told me it was one of the most notorious prisons in the country, arguably the worst.Romano had arranged to transfer me there before

    Scarlett's POV"That's a joke... right?" I breathed after a long moment. "You won't kill your own son."I didn't want to believe a man could be so cruel.I waited for him to burst into laughter and admit he had only been pulling my leg, that he had said all of it just to drive me insane.But the seconds dragged into minutes.Nothing.Romano Sinclair had meant every single word.This man had truly ordered the death of his eldest son. How was I supposed to process something like that?"Have you ever known me to make silly jokes?" he asked calmly.A frightened hiccup escaped my throat.He really was going to kill Xavier. He had already decided on it. Yet he had tricked me into believing that sleeping with him would save Xavier.Once again...He had deceived me."Why do you look so shocked?" he asked mockingly. "Cat got your tongue? Or do you simply refuse to believe how far a man is willing to go to protect what belongs to him?"He grabbed my chin roughly, forcing me to look at him."Look

    Scarlett's POV"Romano... he's the one who murdered your mother!" I blurted out in one breath, then waited for Seraphina's outburst.But none came.Her expression remained blank as she stared at me, making me wonder if she hadn't heard what I'd said. So I opened my mouth to repeat myself."I mean, Romano is the one...""Shut that trap of yours!" she screamed, her eyes shooting daggers at me.Did she really not believe me?"Seraphina, I know it's hard to believe, but I'm telling you—""I must have really lost my mind even listening to you! How dare you lie to me? You're even trying to drag your own husband into this! You've completely lost the plot, Scarlett!" she rasped as she turned to walk away.I grabbed her arm and pulled her back."I know this sounds absurd, but you're going to listen to me!" I shouted, pushing her back against the wall.She stared at me in fear, as though I'd completely lost my mind."I... what are you doing?" Seraphina whispered, her voice barely audible."I'm

    Scarlett's POV“Take a deep breath and tell me everything that happened,” Xavier said as he led me to the car.After I calmed down a little, I told him everything the store attendant had said.Instead of looking terrified like I was, Xavier simply started the car and drove off, telling me we were h

    Seraphina's POV“That bitch!”I screamed the moment I got back to the room I was staying in at the Sinclair mansion. My breathing turned erratic as my mind replayed my encounter with Scarlett in the hallway over and over again.I could have sworn she had just come out of Xavier’s room.I had spent

    Scarlett's POV“Run away with me.”I could still hear Leon's words ringing in my ears even after I got home. I couldn't believe that I could still be so shaken by the words of a man I hadn't seen in years. But maybe that was what happened when the man was someone you had once loved with everything

    Xavier's POVI had asked Seraphina to tell me what kind of person Scarlett was, but she said she would only talk if we were both in my room. I knew what she was up to, so there was no way I would agree to that.“Don't play games with me, Seraphina. You know you can say whatever you want over here,
