All Chapters of Owned By the Man She Fears: Chapter 111 - Chapter 118

As Rafael drove home, his thoughts were in complete disarray. He couldn't stop replaying the events of the previous night. What had happened between him and Cleo?What had he done?Why had he woken up in her bed without any clothes on?The last thing he remembered was drinking the coffee she had prepared for him and suddenly feeling dizzy. The realization made his jaw tighten.He was furious with himself.He was a master strategist---a man who always stayed several steps ahead of everyone else. He was cautious by nature and never lowered his guard.Yet somehow, Cleo had managed to outplay him. And worse, he had fallen victim to such a cheap and obvious trick.He didn't know whether to pity himself or be angry at his own stupidity. For the first time in a very long while, Rafael felt completely unsettled."Rafael!" Seren's voice broke through his thoughts.The moment she spotted his car from the window, she rushed outside

"How is she?" Lena asked as Anna stepped out of her bedroom.Seren had arrived at their house soaked from the rain, standing silently outside the gate. Then, without warning, she had thrown herself into her mother's arms and broken down in tears.She hadn't said a single word. She had cried until exhaustion finally claimed her, falling asleep in Anna's room without even touching her dinner."She's asleep," Anna replied softly as she closed the door behind her.She glanced back toward the room."Do you think she and Rafael had a fight?"Lena looked at the closed door. She wanted to ask her daughter what had happened.She wanted to know what had hurt her enough to leave her in such a state.But she stopped herself.For some reason, she felt she had no right to pry into Seren's pain."Let's just let her rest for now," Lena said gently as she guided Anna downstairs.Anna nodded in agreement. Anyone would be exh

“What are we doing here?” Seren asked as she looked around the dock, confusion written all over her face.Before they even arrived, Rafael had already taken her to a boutique and made her change into an elegant dress. She thought it was another business event—something she was slowly getting used to attending.It had become normal for her to accompany him to gatherings of sector leaders and De Luna executives. And as always, they would ask the same question.When are you getting married?Rafael would simply smile and say they weren’t rushing anything. That Seren was still studying. That there was no need to hurry.But sometimes, the pressure from those people was relentless. So tonight, she assumed it was just another formal gathering. Instead, they were here. At the pier.Rafael didn’t answer her immediately. Instead, he looked at her with that familiar calm expression before finally saying----

"So, he finally decided to make a move."Leon broke the silence as the three of them gathered in Kim's office.They had just returned from Seren's university. Earlier, Rafael had told Seren that he needed to discuss something with Leon and Trisha, so he had sent her ahead to their room.The person Leon was referring to was Dane.Ever since Rafael had spotted Dane's father at Melfina's father's wake, he had quietly ordered an investigation into both father and son. What he had uncovered about them was enough to keep Leon and Trisha occupied with the confidential inquiries he had assigned."I think you should warn Seren about him," Leon said.Rafael leaned back in his chair."She doesn't need to know. As much as possible, I don't want her getting involved in any of this.""The thing is," Leon countered, "she's already involved."He fixed Rafael with a pointed look."You saw what happened today. Who knows who'll come
