Chapter 131SERAPHINAAfter Leone and Lucien left, I turned to Cassian with an apology already forming on my lips. "I am so sorry about all of that. The humiliation, the accusations. You did not deserve any of it."Cassian shook his head, his expression kind. "You have nothing to apologize for. I knew what I was getting into when I agreed to stay here and treat you. Leone's jealousy is his problem, not yours.""Still, it must have been uncomfortable being accused like that.""I have dealt with worse. Besides, seeing you able to move without pain makes it all worth it."His words warmed something in my chest, but I could not shake the guilt. He was suffering consequences because of me, because he chose to help me.***The days that followed were tense. We continued the exercises, but everything felt different now. More careful. More restrained.I could feel eyes on us constantly. Guards positioned where they could watch. Servants finding excuses to pass by. Even when I could not see an

Chapter 133SERAPHINAThe morning light streamed through my window, but I barely noticed it. My mind was still trapped in the storage shed, replaying every moment from yesterday.Cassian's hands on my skin. His mouth on mine. The way he looked at me when he said he was ready to risk everything.The memory of our bodies moving together made the heat pool low in my stomach all over again. I could still feel the ghost of his touch, still hear the sound of our moans mixing with the rain."I'm ready to risk everything for this, for you."His words had been raw and honest, spoken between gasps as we chased our release together. And I had believed him. For the first time in months, someone had made me feel wanted instead of used.I touched my lips, remembering the taste of him. The way he had kissed me like I was precious. Like I mattered.A knock on the door startled me out of my thoughts."Come in."Sussane entered carrying a tray with muffins and tea. She set it down on the table near m

Chapter 135LEONEThe baby was healthy. That was what the midwives kept telling me. That was what Cassian confirmed during his examinations.Healthy lungs, strong heartbeat, proper weight. Everything a newborn should be.But Seraphina was not healthy.She had developed severe pains after giving birth. Pains that kept her bedridden, barely able to move without crying out. The midwives said it was complications from the delivery, something about internal tearing and bleeding that had not stopped properly.I thought it was another act. Another way for her to get attention, to manipulate the situation, to keep Cassian close to her."I need Cassian to stay," she had begged when I visited her room two days after the birth. "Please, Leone. The pain is unbearable.""You gave birth. Of course there is pain. It will pass.""This is different. Something is wrong. Please, just let him examine me properly.""He has examined you multiple times. He says you need rest and time to heal. That does not

Chapter 137CASSIANMy chest ached listening to her explain why she had to stay trapped in this nightmare of a marriage. She was sacrificing everything, her happiness, her safety, her peace of mind, all to protect her family from financial ruin."Seraphina, I—"She shook her head slowly, cutting me off before I could finish. "Do not pity me, Cassian. This is my cross to carry. I made my choice when I agreed to this marriage.""You did not have a choice. Your family needed help and you were the only way to get it. That is not the same as choosing.""Maybe not. But it is still my burden to bear."Tears started streaming down her face. She tried to wipe them away quickly, but they kept coming. Her shoulders shook with suppressed sobs."I need to be alone for a bit. Please. Just take her and give me some time.""Are you sure? I can stay if you need—""I am sure. I just need to empty my feelings without anyone watching me fall apart."I stood up carefully, the baby still sleeping peacefull

Chapter 139LEONESeraphina stood in front of me looking weak and exhausted, dark circles under her eyes and her skin pale despite whatever cosmetics the maids had applied. She swayed slightly on her feet, gripping the back of a chair for support."Tomorrow? Leone, I am barely able to stand right now. How am I supposed to face the elders when I can hardly walk across a room?""You will manage. The announcement needs to be made.""Why the rush? The baby is only a few days old. Surely we could wait another week or two until I have recovered more.""The secret of your pregnancy has been kept too long already. People are starting to ask questions. The elders are growing impatient for news. We cannot delay any longer."She flinched at my words, her hand moving protectively to her stomach where the pain was obviously still bothering her."The secret of my pregnancy? It is our baby, Leone. Yours and mine. Stop pretending like you did not impregnate me. Stop acting like this child is somehow
