SERAPHINA"Oh my god, Yuki! Get out of here! Shoo! Shoo! Go home!"I shouted, hurrying toward Yuki, our familiar fluffy dog, who was tangled with a stray in the middle of the road. Disgust twisted my face as I raised my umbrella, using it to carefully separate the pair before things went too far.I pointed at Yuki—our long-haired mutt Dad had begged his boss for years ago. "You horny little thing! We don't have money to feed a litter of puppies if you get knocked up!" I snapped, my voice laced with exasperation.Yuki whined, clearly disappointed her fun had been interrupted. I made a show of swinging my hand at the male dog, and he bolted.I glared at her. "And you! You planning to stay out here all night?!" She flinched, tucking her tail between her legs, and darted toward our rickety wooden house.I followed her inside, where I found Dad hunched over his phone—definitely gambling online again. I cleared my throat loudly, and he whipped around, his face paling."S-Sera!" He hastily s

THIRD PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW"What do you even want with her?! She's got nothing to give—why throw money away on—" Sera's mother's words choked off as the stranger turned his gaze upon her. The look in his eyes was sharp as a honed blade, slicing through her bluster, silencing her with its intensity."Be quiet." His voice was flat, devoid of emotion, cold as wet concrete, a warning that brooked no argument. He tossed a briefcase to the dirt at their feet, the thud a jarring punctuation to the tense silence.It popped open, revealing its contents. Cash spilled over the edges—thick stacks of bills bound together, their crispness palpable even from a distance, catching the sun and reflecting its light in a dazzling display that made their pupils dilate. Confusion faded first, replaced by avarice, then worry, then anything that resembled genuine care for Sera. Money was all they'd ever truly hungered for, and this man was offering more than they'd ever dared to dream of in exchange for th

THIRD PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW"Let me help you with that—"The slap landed hard across Lucian's face, a stinging rebuke that silenced him in one swift motion. Nothing like this had ever happened to him, a man accustomed to deference, to unquestioning obedience—not from a woman, and certainly not one smaller than him, her frame delicate but held rigid with defiance, an unexpected challenge to his authority.He clicked his tongue, a low sound of annoyance, his gaze sweeping over her again, assessing her. Her right hand braced against the cold tile of the wall for balance, her knuckles white with tension, her left hung frozen in the air, still trembling with the force of her strike. Defenseless, yes, stripped of her sight, vulnerable. Weak? Not by a long shot. One wrong move from him, one act of aggression, would send her crumpling to the floor, defenseless against his superior strength—and yet she'd found the nerve to fight back, to defy him. A rare breed, indeed, a fascinating paradox.

THIRD PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW"I'll be sleeping in the guest room." Lucian's voice was steady as he leaned against the bedroom doorframe, his gaze following Sera's movements across the room. She was already dressed in a simple cotton shirt and shorts, moving with a quiet self-assurance that caught him off guard. A shadow of something perhaps disappointment crossed his face before he could mask it. He'd imagined helping her dress, feeling the fabric against her skin once more. But even blind, she managed on her own. She was adapting more swiftly than he anticipated."Okay… don't turn off the light, will you?" Her voice was soft, almost hesitant.He let out a low chuckle, the sound rumbling in his chest. "Yeah, sure." With a slight smirk, he stepped out and gently closed the door behind him.His gaze drifted down the hall to where a door had just slammed shut hard enough to make the walls shudder. His expression hardened as he walked toward it. He knew Shein well enough to anticipate tro

THIRD PERSON'S POINT OF VIEW Sera pressed her teeth together, irritation still sharp at the back of her throat as the room's energy shifted around her. She heard the tremor in Shein's voice fear plain as day in every syllable. Air hung thick and still, cool against her cheeks, even as she curled her fingers in the bedsheets until the fabric bit into her skin and knuckles blazed with pressure. Lucian had not spoken to her yet she felt his anger like a weight on her lungs, close enough to choke on. "You know how much I hate repeating myself, Shein." The change in his voice made her freeze. As she had known it would be she could read the shift in him even when he spoke softly, and now each word carried the chill of winter stone. It was like standing too close to a wild animal, every muscle in its body coiled to strike. "What did she do to you, Sera?" Lucian's voice was low and precise, each word landing
