All Chapters of I Married My Enemy to Destroy Him: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Seraphina couldn’t move.Her father’s voice was still echoing inside her head.If you’re hearing this, it means I failed to keep you safe.She stared at the phone as though it might ring again.“Seraphina.”Lucien’s voice reached her, but she barely heard him.“My father is alive.”She said it like she was trying to convince herself.Lucien didn’t answer immediately.“Isn’t he?”“I don’t know.”She turned toward him sharply.“You heard him.”“I heard a recording.”“No.” Her voice cracked. “That wasn’t a recording. He spoke to me.”Lucien’s expression remained guarded.“Your phone was compromised. Whoever called you could have used an old recording.”Seraphina shook her head.“I know my father’s voice.”“I know.”“No, you don’t understand.”She pressed her trembling fingers against her temple.“I heard him every night after he died. I remember his voice when he used to wake me for breakfast. I remember the way he said my name when he was angry. I remember how he sounded when he was afr

The dead man’s voice came from behind the wall.“Seraphina.”She froze.Every instinct in her body screamed at her to run, but her feet refused to move.Lucien stood beside her, completely still.For once, the man who always seemed to have an answer looked as though the ground had disappeared beneath him.Seraphina swallowed hard.“Say it again.”The voice came through the hidden speaker.“Seraphina.”Her knees weakened.She reached for the edge of the table.“No.”Lucien turned toward her.“Don’t listen to him yet.”She stared at him.“You knew.”His jaw tightened.“I suspected.”“That isn’t what I asked.”Silence.Seraphina’s voice broke.“You knew my brother was alive.”Lucien didn’t answer.She shoved him.“You knew!”He barely moved, but something in his eyes cracked.“Yes.”The word destroyed whatever fragile control she had left.She stepped backward.For ten years, she had believed she was the last surviving piece of her family.Her parents were dead.Her brother had supposedl

The gunshot came from inside the house.Seraphina froze.For one terrible second, every instinct inside her screamed to run.Then she heard Lucien’s voice.“Down!”He moved before she could think.One arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her behind the stone pillar as another shot shattered the glass behind them.Seraphina hit the floor hard, her heart pounding.“Lucien!”“I’m fine.”His voice was calm.Too calm.She looked up.He was already drawing his gun.There was blood on his sleeve.“You’re not fine.”“It’s a scratch.”Another gunshot echoed through the corridor.Lucien’s expression changed.The softness she had barely learned to recognize disappeared.The ruthless man everyone feared returned.“Stay here.”Seraphina grabbed his wrist.“No.”His eyes dropped to her hand.“You heard me.”“And you heard me,” she whispered. “I’m done being the woman everyone hides behind a locked door.”Something shifted in his expression.For a moment, he simply stared at her.Then he nodded onc

“Trust no one.”The words remained trapped inside Seraphina’s mind long after Lucien stopped speaking.She stood in the center of the study, staring at him.Her mother’s voice had sounded so real.So close.Not like a memory.Like a warning whispered through the years.“What did she mean?” Seraphina asked.Lucien’s expression remained unreadable.“I don’t know.”“You expect me to believe that?”“Yes.”That answer irritated her.“You always say you don’t know whenever the truth becomes inconvenient.”“I’m not trying to hide this from you.”“You’ve spent ten years hiding everything from me.”Lucien absorbed the accusation without defending himself.Then he walked toward the door.“Come with me.”Seraphina followed.They moved through the east wing of the mansion, an area she had barely noticed before. The corridor was darker than the rest of the house, with only a few recessed lights illuminating the polished floor.Two armed guards stood outside a plain steel door.They stepped aside i

The first thing Seraphina noticed was that Lucien had stopped breathing.Not literally.But for one suspended second, the man standing across from her looked as though even breathing required a decision.She had asked him what she was to him.He had answered.“You are the reason this war hasn’t ended yet.”The words should have satisfied her.Instead, they frightened her.Seraphina folded her arms across her chest.“Then tell me what war I’m standing in.”Lucien’s expression hardened.“You’re not ready.”Her eyes flashed.“Stop saying that.”“I’m not trying to insult you.”“You keep deciding what I can handle.”“And you keep walking toward things designed to kill you.”Silence.Seraphina stepped closer.“Then let them try.”Lucien’s jaw tightened.“That attitude is exactly why you’re on the list.”Her stomach dropped.“The watch list.”“Yes.”“Who put me on it?”Lucien looked away for half a second.“That depends on which version you’re asking about.”She stared at him.“There are ver
