Seraphina's POV “Someone, please help me! Can anyone hear me?” My voice came out weak. I tried screaming again, but a hard cough stopped me. Smoke. There was smoke everywhere. I opened my eyes and looked around, but I could barely see anything. The room was dark, and the little light coming from somewhere above was not enough to show me where I was. I tried to move, and that was when I felt it. My hands were tied, and my legs were tied to the chair as well. Panic rushed through me. “What is going on?” I pulled against the ropes, but they only became tighter. My heart started beating faster. The last thing I remembered was being in the car going to the anniversary celebration of Julian's business associates. Why was I here? Who had brought me here? “Help!” I screamed again, but no one answered. I coughed and lowered my head, trying to breathe through the smoke. Then I noticed something on the floor. A container.

Seraphina's POVWalking into Lucius Thorne’s house felt like stepping into another world.The heavy front doors closed behind us, completely blocking out the noise of the city.

Everything was made of glass, dark wood,and cold steel.It looked exactly like the man standing next to me."My staff is off for the weekend," Lucius said. He took off his expensive suit jacket and threw itover a leather chair. He loosened his tie and turned to look at me. "You have the place toyourself."I stood awkwardly in the center of the massive living room. I looked down at my ruined weddingdress. The white fabric was covered in dirt, and I felt ridiculous standing in his perfect, cleanhouse looking like a runaway bride."I need some clothes," I said softly.Lucius’s eyes slowly dropped to the torn edges of my skirt. He stared at the r
