All Chapters of Seducing My Husband's Arch-enemy!: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Silence hangs between them like clear smoke.Cecelia and Raees sit across from each other at the small round table tucked into the café’s upper level. The light filtering through the almost invincible windows casts light on the tablecloth, the sun starting to show signs of early retirement.Neither of them speaks for the first few minutes, although it is quite far from being a comfortable one.Cecelia sits awkwardly, her fingers twitching against her lap, eyes flicking around the room like someone searching for an escape route. Raees, by contrast, is perfectly still. One leg crossed over the other, elbow resting lightly on the armrest, her fingers tracing the rim of her glass with precision.She only glances at Cecelia every so often through the rim of her glass whenever she takes those long sips, but those glances sting like paper cuts. It’s as though she’s measuring and studying Cecelia.Finally, a waiter arrives to break the awkward quiet.“Anything for you, ma’am?” he asks Cecelia

The silence that followed for a brief moment Cecelia’s refusal was suffocating for Daniel.Daniel stood frozen for half of five seconds, watching Cecelia head towards the door, then almost out of it.Then, like a livewire snapping into life, he lunges forward against the cuffs chaining him to the chair. Daniel jerked up so violently from the metal chair that it screeched painfully against the tiled floor, making Officer June’s brows twitch in irritation.His wrists red and strained, metal scraping metal, a desperate sound that made Officer June’s jaw twitch even more.“You damn traitor!” he bellowed, veins bulging at his temples. He roared at Cecelia, his wrists straining against the cuffs that bound him to the chair. “If you don’t tell them the truth, Cecelia, I swear, I’ll say everything! Everything we did together!”Cecelia had already turned to leave, but at that threat, she halted. Cecelia had barely stepped outside the interrogation room. At his threat, she stopped, turned slowl

“Are you not going to do anything about our son?” She slaps against his chest as she breaks down in tears for the umpteenth time.“Leave me the fuck alone woman, can’t you see I am getting dressed. If you keep getting your snot all over my clothes, I might not make it out of here.” He yells, kicking her away with his legs while angrily buttoning up his shirt while looking at himself in the mirror.With one last finger styling of his hair, he picks up his phone and car keys, casts one glance at the messy woman who’s his wife on the floor, swears beneath his breath and stalks away, his mission in mind.The polished shoes of Rowland Flanagan tapped with assertive rhythm as he walked through the heavy glass doors of the Brooklyn Police Precinct. At fifty five, the man had barely lost the bite in his jaw line or the steel in his stare, the same one that he had intimidated so many criminals with back in his day.With a trim grey mustache, a military style gait, and a presence that made even

The tall building stood before him like a monument to betrayal, just as his daughter just looked at the same one that belongs to Raees, they really are a family after all.Rowland Flanagan tilted his head back, taking in the steel and glass marvel that was Sky Group’s company building. It’s sleek, state-of-the-art, and clearly thriving, so much so that it sent a bitter taste crawling down his throat. He hadn’t expected this.Reid?This well off? Living large while Daniel was wasting away in a cold, metal cage? One that could have been entirely avoided if they had not wanted to take the company off his hands? Someone is clearly playing games here, and it’s not any of the ‘current’ Flanagans.No one in the family knew, though, that Reid built such an empire for himself. No one had suspected it, they knew he was doing okay but they, oddly, thought that he had only a small thing for himself, just to stay comfortable and afloat, but this just totally rivals their thoughts for all these yea

CHAPTER 60“He’s been released sir.”Alec Steele barely raises his head, nodding absentmindedly. “Reid Caddel released him, but on what grounds did he do so?”“We have yet to figure it out but he’s been on the move since he was returned to the intersection of his home. He went home, met with that woman and they left together. A man is currently tailing them and gives updates every five minutes.”Alec nods again, the nail cutter snapping as he sears away another toenail. They aren’t grown yet but whatever will be a nuisance will show its signs from early stages, such as these danged nails.“Keep me updated then.”“Yes sir.” He bows and proceeds to leave before he changes his mind.“Come back, I have a special assignment for you.”He turns around to face Alec, and this time, he puts down his feet, this one is more important.As soon as all of these small issues around them, especially with Daniel blows over, Alec claims to have to make sure that the red-head discovers the kind of man sh
