Chapter 24
SERAPHINAI felt like dirt.I felt like sin that needed to be cleansed.I felt used like a thing that needed to be discarded.The moment Leone left, the air in the room felt heavier. My skin burned where his eyes had been. My body still remembered the way he had looked at me, the way he had made me lose control.I hated it. I hated that somewhere deep inside, I had liked it. I liked his dark, dominating way of punishing me whilst using my body to his satisfaction. I hated how my body reacted to all his filthy words.His words were like something carved out from the devil's lips: forbidden, raw, unpleasant... I was supposed to hate but that was inevitable, yeah? He was not only good with his words, he knew how to use it to top you up to the edge.I remembered his eyes never leaving my pussy. He had been mesmerized and even though I was entangled with my own sensation, I'd see him fighting back his aroChapter 28SERAPHINAPhilip’s eyes were fixed on me, sharp like he wanted to tear the truth out of my mouth.“What were you doing in Isabella’s room?” he asked.I didn’t even let myself think for a moment what I'd tell him or even let my heartbeat give away what I'd done back in her room. I lied before the pause could give me away.“I saw someone leave my room,” I said quickly. “I thought it was Isabella. We… We had a crash in the kitchen earlier, and I scared the shit out of her. I thought maybe she came into my room for something. Or to do something to me to make her claim that I couldn't mess with her and go scot-free. So I came here to check, but I didn’t find her. I was leaving when you stopped me.”His face stayed unreadable for a second. Then, instead of questioning me more or storming off to report me to Leone, his mouth curved into a slow, cold grin. Not the kind of smile that meant anything good.He didn’t say another word. He just turned and walked away like he already knew
Chapter 27 SERAPHINAClarissa finally left after talking to me for a long time—about all the wonders Lucien was doing and the privileges they get to enjoy now. Her words stayed in my head like a nail pressed deep into wood.“Keep your eyes on Isabella. She hides too much. And pretends a lot. And people with those traits are always up to something not good.”I sat on my bed for a while, staring at the wall. My mind kept running in circles. "Why would she warn me? Was it because she cared… or because she wanted me to doubt everyone? Or because she wanted me to remain in this shithole palace as a wife? Or because she felt something just by looking at her? Or just because she had a hidden agenda I know nothing of?”I pressed my hands together and whispered to myself.“Maybe she’s right… Perhaps I should see for myself. Isabella just came out of the blue and claimed to be pregnant for Leone, and even though I knew Leone was smart, the fact he believed and accepted her without investigat
Chapter 26SERAPHINAI was almost at the door when a strong grip caught my wrist. My body jerked back hard that the ice cream spilled a little on the floor. My gaze to check who did they even though I knew already who it was I met the cold hard stare of Leone as his eyes locked and stared at me, his jaw set and body rigid.He pulled me closer, close enough that I could feel the heat of his breath. “Don’t you ever walk out on me again,” he said, voice low but sharp. “Do it again, and you’ll hate yourself for it.”I didn’t answer. Instead fingers tightened around the ice cream tub out of instinct.“Put it back,” he ordered, looking at my attempt to shield it away from him.“It’s mine,” I said without thinking.His eyes narrowed. “I said put it back or rather hand it over to her. And do it now.”I stood still. My mouth opened to argue, but his voice rose, cutting me off. “Obey me, Seraphina!”The sound filled the room. It made my chest tighten. I looked up to find Isabella now leaning o
Chapter 25SERAPHINAIsabella relaxed on the counter, opened the ice cream and began eating it like she didn't give a damn about the world. The tub sat in front of her, the lid tossed aside like it meant nothing. She was halfway through it while I just gaped at her in disbelief I just stared at her for a long second. My grip on the fridge door tightened.“Isabella…” My voice was low, heavy and it came out flat “Have you lost your mind?”She didn’t flinch. She didn’t even look guilty. She scooped another spoonful, put it in her mouth, and chewed like she wanted me to watch. She licked the spoon and shrugged.“This is the one I want,” she said, voice calm. “Can’t you see I’m pregnant?”Is she seriously trying to justify the fact that she took my ice cream as a result of being pregnant? How is that supposed to be my fucking business? Do I look like I care if she wants it or not?I let the fridge door slam shut out of annoyance.The sound echoed in the room. “I’m not blind,” I snapped, g

Chapter 23Leone’s POVPunishing Seraphina had left my blood running hot. The way she broke under my control… the way she moaned when she hated herself for it. The way her pussy clenched tightly around the fucking vibrator — and I'd wish at that moment it was my cock.Her legs had parted and pussy took the whole of it as it worked her to ecstasy, her whimper when she realized she wasn't supposed to be enjoying this but she was in fact moaning and calling my name in that ragged sweet voice of hers that could work someone over the edge and have them cumming without even a hands on them. Her defiance and refusal had finally led to that and you know what? It gave me the kind of satisfaction that made my body ache for more. My cock was still hard, throbbing, begging for release. I'd never been worked up about this before by the mere sight of a lady pleasing herself , even most times it was hard to get me hard through foreplay. But Sera had done it the first time I ordered her to strip i
