Seraphina’s POV

I stood in front of the full-length mirror, my eyes moving over the cream-colored dress that was dotted with real diamonds and feathers, clinging to my curves and flaying at the waist.

I looked really beautiful, my hair falling in waves around my shoulders, my face dusted in a light makeup that blended just right with the color of the dress.

But for some reason, I still felt that slight, nagging discomfort.

Something felt off.

Well, it’s not like I’d been exactly excited or looked forward eagerly, when Lazaro had told me about one of those stupid galas that was scheduled to hold today.

This time around, a masquerade gala.

I didn’t feel too good about it. But I had to go. I had no choice.

A knock sounded on my door just then, and it swung open a moment later, Lazaro poking his head around it.

“Good to go?”

I swallowed, nodding, as I smoothed my palms down the dress, and he snapped his fingers.

“Come on, then.”

He took my hands as I got to the door, his eyes

  • Veins of Vengeance   Chapter 39: It's positive

    SERAPHINA'S POVI emptied my stomach into the sink for the third time this afternoon, my eyes growing heavy with exhaustion as my chest rose and fell with ragged breaths.I can't keep running away from this anymore.Heck, I don't even know if I'm actually sick or this is some pregnancy hormones really kicking in.I needed to be sure, before anyone else found out…and trapped me for their own gains.I took a deep breath and shut the door behind him, peeling off the package of the pregnancy test I'd snuck into my pocket, my heart skipping at the probability of it turning out to be exactly what I'd imagined.“Alright. Just five minutes, and I'll come back to this.” I said after testing it on myself, flicking the end of the test and placing it on the counter. “Hopefully, I'm just imagining things.”Blowing out my cheeks, I exited the bathroom and examined the room, pressing my lips into a thin line when I recalled Lazaro storming out of the mansion to clear his head.Apparently, he'd still

  • Veins of Vengeance   Did someone just shoot my wife?

    Lazaro’s POVA warm, suffocating feeling spread through my chest as she repeated the words again, a mixture of excitement and uncertainty hanging over her eyes.And slowly, I lifted myself off the bed, pulling her close. “You’re what?” I demanded again, still in subtle denial of what I’d heard the first two times.“Pregnant, Lazaro,” she repeated with a nervous chuckle, lifting a hand to her hair to ruffle it. “Does it come to you as a surprise?” She added, her gaze turning accusatory.“What? No—““You’re the first and only man to ever put their hands on my body, Lazaro,” she interrupted, her cheeks turning crimson, “and we did it without protection. So,” she shrugged, “you shouldn’t be surprised if I end up pregnant.”I swallowed, my heart racing uncontrollably. “I know that,” I replied, “but are you certain?”She seized a deep sigh, shaking her head. “Not really. I just suspect so. I don’t know what it feels like, but my body feels different. You can say I’m almost certain.”“Wow,”

  • Veins of Vengeance   Chapter 36: I'm pregnant Lazaro

    Lazaro’s POV“I didn’t come looking for trouble, father.”I stood in front of his desk, staring down at his mass of dark curls as he stubbed out his backwood in the ashtray on his desk, my fingers jammed into my pockets. “Hand over the boy.”Don Julio chuckled drily, lifting his head to study me amidst a haze of smoke. “What do you think you’re doing, Lazaro? Has that girl messed with your senses completely?”“Leave her out of this,” I ground out through clenched teeth. “It’s her brother I want from you.”Scoffing, he swung his legs down the desk, shaking his head. “You can’t have him, son,” he replied in a cold tone, “and unfortunately, we can’t leave Seraphina Alvarez out of this.”I furrowed my brows slightly, squinting my eyes at him. “What do you mean?”Don Julio sighed, rising to his feet. “Her father owes me,” he revealed, padding over to the floor-to-ceiling window in the study.“Didn’t Seraphina’s marriage to me pay off that debt?” I demanded. “Why were we made to marry each

  • Veins of Vengeance   Chapter 35: I'll get your brother back

    Seraphina’s POVI woke up to a number of calls and texts. About ten from my brother. Both calls and texts. About five calls from the housekeeper at the Alvarez mansion. Voicemails too.What was going on?I picked up my phone from the table, glancing at the time on the screen.5.45pm.Yawning, I scrolled over to the messages app, opening my brother’s text box.His first text had dropped around 3:30pm.Pick up the phone, Seraph. It’s urgent. The next one was dropped around 3:37pm.You know I never do this, but there’s something I have to tell you. The urgency was clear. Dante never dropped me texts, neither did he call. Often. But he’d dropped me three texts. Suspicious.I was just about to scroll down to the third text when the phone started to vibrate in my hands again, a call incoming from the housekeeper at the mansion.Vibration mode…no wonder I hadn’t gotten the texts or calls. I quickly slid to the answer icon to the right and placed the phone against my ear. “Ms. Harper I’m s

    “Stay here,” he instructed under his breath, leaving me with Jaxon, who stood rooted on one side of the suite, away from the table.I watched as he approached the table, holding my breath.“Pardon me,” he continued, lifting his shoulders in a slight shrug, “but I would have to interrupt your intense game of cards.” He paused at the foot of the table, his gaze trained on one person. “Allow me to borrow this gentle man.”Without waiting for permission, he walked up to the same Made Man, grabbing him up by his shirtfront, and ramming his braced knuckles into his face.A gasp rang out at the table, and the men scattered, as Lazaro pulled the suddenly limp man over the table and down to the floor.“Andre, puta madre!” He cursed in a playful tone, slapping his back.Holy fuck.Did Lazaro find out already that he might be the spy?“Everyday’s for the thief, eh?” Lazaro queried, pushing the man’s hair away from his face.“W-what have I done?” The man demanded, raising his hands in a plea, an

  • Veins of Vengeance   Chapter 33: Dress to Kill

    Seraphina’s POVAric lifted his gaze to look at Lazaro, who now stood behind me.“What is it about the death of my mother that I should mention to my wife?” Lazaro continued, his tone menacing, and I slowly turned around to see that his eyes were filled with murderous rage.Aric scoffed, walking over to where Lazaro stood. “I was just having a light-hearted conversation with Ms. Seraphina, over here, Lazaro. You really should calm your hor—“The words were snatched out of his mouth as Lazaro suddenly grabbed him up by his shirtfront, closing the distance between them. “I told you, man,” he gritted out, “she’s Mrs. Seraphina De Luca! And did you call that a light-hearted conversation? Mentioning my mother? What gives you the right to do that?”Pressing his lips together in a tight smirk, obviously mortified, Aric tried to pry Lazaro’s fingers away, but he held on tightly. “Get your hands off me, man,” he requested in a polite undertone that I found quite odd.“This is your last warning
