All Chapters of MY DEAR REVENGE: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“Time up. Pens down please,” the lecturer said loudly.The whole hall erupted into cheers. Students were clapping, whistling, and already packing their bags like they’d been set free from prison.Final paper done. Finally.Seraphine leaned back in her chair, letting out a small sigh. She looked across the hall and her eyes landed on Ezra. He was smiling at her. That same smile that used to make her feel warm but now just made her chest ache.She quickly looked away, but it was too late—he was already walking over.“Seraphine,” Ezra said softly. “Can we talk?”She glanced at her watch. 10:50.“I don’t have much time,” she said, standing up and holding her bag. “I need to head somewhere.”“I’ll give you a ride then,” he offered quickly.She hesitated. Every part of her screamed no, but somehow she found herself nodding. “...Fine.”They walked out together and got into his car. He started the engine and asked, “So, where are you headed?”“The county records office,” she answered.Ezra fr

“Ughhhh…” Seraphine groaned, leaning on the sink as she stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. Her hair was still damp, her under-eyes dark from barely sleeping. She looked like crap, and she knew it.Today was the dreaded dress fitting. Tomorrow, they were all moving into the Hale Mansion for wedding prep.Ivy had made such a big deal out of it too. Apparently, all the bridesmaids’ dresses had been custom-ordered, along with her “one-of-a-kind, princess-core, super magical” wedding gown. But she refused to let anyone see them until today. The suspense was killing everyone—except Seraphine. She honestly couldn’t care less.After that café meet-up, her phone hadn’t known peace. Ivy had immediately dumped her into the most chaotic WhatsApp group ever: “Bride Tribe Squad”. Like seriously, who came up with that cringy name?Every single day, the girls spammed the chat with “Omg babe, can’t wait to see you again”, “Do you think Ezra will cry when Ivy walks in?”, “Let’s plan a spa

“Hold still, Sera, your sash is crooked,” Daniella said, tugging at the ribbon on Seraphine’s dress.Seraphine rolled her eyes. “It doesn’t matter, Dani. Nobody’s gonna be staring at me. All eyes will be on Her Royal Highness Ivy.”Daniella snorted. “True. But still, at least try to look decent when you’re standing behind her.”Seraphine sighed and turned back to the mirror. The past week had been a lot—dress rehearsals, family dinners, Ivy’s dramatic meltdowns over flowers and chairs. And now… the actual wedding day. The garden of the Hale Mansion was already decorated like some fairy tale—roses everywhere, gold ribbons, a huge altar under a giant white arch. It looked perfect. But to her, it felt like nightmare.A knock on the door snapped her out of her thoughts.“Sera, Ivy wants you. Dressing room. Now,” one of the bridesmaids called.Seraphine exchanged a look with Daniella, then dragged her feet to the room. Inside, Ivy was standing in front of the mirror in her wedding gown—a w

You have your answer, Seraphine,” Cassian said, his voice level and devoid of any warmth. He steepled his fingers, his eyes focused and unnerving.“The Hales are murderers, thieves, and frauds. Now the question is, what are you going to do about it?”Seraphine clenched her fists, her face filled with grief for her father. Her world, built on borrowed kindness, had disintegrated into ash. “I’m going to ruin them,” she stated, the conviction in her voice shaking slightly. “Star Industries.” She had investigated it, confirming the existence of the offshore asset, but its legal structure was a Gordian knot. “How do I claim it? If I’m going to dismantle their empire, I need to be in their level. I need everything that was stolen from me.”Cassian leaned forward slightly, the first hint of interest flickering in his eyes. He reached into his desk drawer and pulled out a thick, cream-colored document bound in a leather folder, placing it gently on the expansive desk surface.“Your late fath

The whole room was silent for a moment. Seraphine’s name, now the most powerful name in the city, hung in the air. Then, the silence broke into loud whispers.“Did he really say he married the Kane girl?”“She went from having nothing to having all of Veyra's money. Just like that!”“Seraphina Kane? The one who was always with Ezra?”“Look at Ezra. He looks sick. This is the biggest surprise ever.”“Cassian Veyra never shows any interest in women. She must be special, or maybe this is fake.”“Two weeks? It was a total secret.”“She’s now the most important woman here. No one saw this coming.”Ezra still stood next to Ivy, whose face was red with upset. Before anyone else could move, Clarissa Hale, Ezra’s mother, did. She walked right up to Seraphine and Cassian and forced a harsh, ugly smile.“Seraphine, darling, what a total shock,” Clarissa said loudly, making sure the people nearby could hear her. “So brave of you to come out tonight, after everything. And to bring Mr. Veyra! But C
