It's you

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

A promise

Chapter 132SERAPHINA My heart slammed against my ribs so hard I thought Cassian would hear it over the rain hammering the roof.It would not slow down. Cassian's single word echoed inside my head. “You.”The rain beat against the tin roof like it wanted to break in. Water dripped somewhere in the corner of the shed, steady and calm, nothing like the storm inside me.We stood frozen in the dim storage shed, faces inches apart, the air thick with wet earth and the sharp smell of metal tools. I looked at him. His hair stuck to his forehead from the rain. His shirt clung to his chest. Those eyes—always so steady—now carried something open. It carried just raw want that mirrored everything I had been burying for weeks.I could not speak. Words would not come. Instead I moved before my brain could catch up. One step closed the gap and my mouth crashed into his. He stiffened for half a second but did not pull away. Then his arms came around me instantly, one hand cupping the back of my

First step in being a mummy

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

A child is born

Chapter 134SERAPHINAI stared down at the puddle forming around my feet, my heart hammering so hard I thought it might burst out of my chest. This was happening. The baby was coming right now.Panic clawed at my throat. I was not ready. I had thought I had more time. A few more days at least."Cassian—"He was already moving, dropping his bag and rushing to my side. His hands gripped my arms gently but firmly, steadying me."Seraphina, look at me. Look at me right now."I forced my eyes to meet his. The calm in his gaze helped anchor me slightly."What is happening? What do I do?""You are going into labor. Your water just broke. This is normal. Everything is going to be fine.""It does not feel fine. I am terrified.""I know. But I need you to listen to me. I do not want you to panic or feel threatened by what is coming. Your body knows what to do. You just need to be strong and trust yourself. Can you do that?"I nodded, even though I was not sure I believed it.Reginald's voice cu

The plan

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

I am not alone: Leone is here with me

Chapter 136SERAPHINAI was too weak to do anything. Every movement sent sharp pain through my lower body, reminding me of what I had just been through. The midwives had warned me that recovery would be difficult, but nothing had prepared me for this.And yet, I had a baby to care for. A tiny, helpless infant who needed constant attention.Leone had dumped her in my room without a second thought. No wet nurse. No nursemaid. Just me, lying here in pain, expected to manage everything alone.The worst was at night. When the palace went quiet and everyone else was asleep, my daughter would wake up crying. Those pitiful wails that broke my heart every time I heard them.I would force myself to sit up despite the agony, would reach for her and try to soothe her. Sometimes she needed feeding. Sometimes she just needed to be held.But I was so weak. My arms shook from the effort of holding her. My vision would blur from exhaustion and pain.Tonight was particularly bad. She had been crying

The suspicions and threats

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

The news

Chapter 138SERAPHINAI was done crying. All the tears I had been holding back for weeks had finally spilled out, leaving me empty but somehow lighter.Cassian had told me the truth about my situation, and as painful as it was to hear, I needed it. I needed someone to acknowledge how trapped I was instead of pretending everything would somehow work out.A few hours passed. I rested as much as I could, though sleep came in brief, uncomfortable stretches. Every position hurt. Every movement reminded me of what my body had just been through.A soft knock on the door made me sit up slightly."Come in."Cassian entered, carrying my daughter in his arms. She was awake but calm, her tiny eyes blinking slowly."She has been good. I fed her about an hour ago and she went right back to sleep.""Thank you. I do not know what I would have done without your help.""You would have managed. You are stronger than you think." He placed the baby in the crib beside my bed, making sure she was comforta

She is no longer the timid girl

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

She is his heir and bloodline

Chapter 140SERAPHINAThat night, I could not sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I thought about tomorrow and what it would mean to present my daughter to those cruel, judgmental elders.I sat in the rocking chair beside her crib, watching her sleep. Her tiny chest rose and fell with each breath, so peaceful and innocent. She had no idea what kind of world she had been born into. No idea that her own father refused to even look at her."I promise you," I whispered, stroking her soft silver hair. "I will not let anybody walk over you. I will not let them treat you the way they treat me. You are precious, my little gem. And I will protect you with everything I have."My words were a vow. A commitment to be stronger for her than I had been for myself.Eventually, exhaustion won and I dozed off in the chair, my hand still resting gently on her crib.But peace did not last long.A piercing cry jolted me awake. My daughter was screaming, her face red and scrunched up with distress.I force
