Lion Den

Five years ago, Seraphina Vale’s life ended in front of a crowd. On her wedding day to billionaire CEO Cassian Thorne, she was publicly accused of corporate espionage, betrayal, and greed. Security dragged her out of the ceremony as cameras flashed and the media tore her reputation apart. The man she loved never gave her a chance to explain. What Cassian never knew was that Seraphina walked away carrying his child. Now, five years later, Seraphina has rebuilt her life from nothing. Stronger. Independent. Untouchable. But when fate brings her back into Cassian’s world, a shocking truth surfaces her son, Lucien, is the only biological heir to the powerful Thorne empire. The Thorne family demands the child. Seraphina refuses. The only solution Cassian offers is a contract: Live under his roof. Pretend to be his wife. Secure the heir’s future. But the past is full of lies, enemies are still watching, and the truth behind Seraphina’s downfall is far darker than either of them imagined. This time, the woman he once destroyed isn’t coming back to beg. She’s coming back to win.

Will her mate be able to keep her safe? Or will she be hidden once more?

On the day we were to choose our magical guardians, my sister laid claim to the griffin's egg, leaving the serpent's egg to me. She boasted that, as the trueborn daughter of the queen and the eldest princess, she was destined to become the chosen heir. However, her griffin egg never hatched, what stumbled out was nothing more than a pitiful turkey. My serpent egg, however, nurtured by the waters of the enchanted spring, awakened into a true white wyvern. When I was named heir to the throne, my sister raised a cup in celebration, only to poison me with the wine and end my life. I opened my eyes again at the moment of choosing. This time, my sister snatched away my serpent egg, shattered the griffin's before my eyes, and imprisoned me on a distant isle: determined that I would witness her glory as the chosen of the white wyvern and heir to the crown. Yet when the white wyvern cracked its shell, destiny shifted. I bound myself instead to the Titan Ape, a beast mighty enough to bring the wyvern to its knees.

"Sa pagkakaalam ko ay sa ibang bahay na daw si Sir Lucian umuwi! Pakiramdam ko ay doon 'yon sa kabit nya!" Rinig kong ani ng isa sa mga kasambahay namin. "Hala! Edi grabi naman pala ang sakit non kay Ma'am Ivy. Sa pagkakaalam ko ay hinahatiran sya ni Manang ng pagkain kaso nagiimpake na ata sya para umalis." Tumingin ako sa labas ng bintana sa kalagitnaan ng gabi. Nakakapagod at nakakalungkot isipin ang mga bagay na pinagdaanan ko sa bahay na ito. Hindi ko alam kung makakaya ko pa ba, daig ko pa ang isang aso na naghihintay sa amo nya umuwi na sa ibang bahay pala nagpapahinga. Pinangako ko sa kanya at sa harap ng panginoon na sya lang at wala ng iba, magiging mabuting asawa ako sa kanya at sa magiging pamilya namin at higit sa lahat hinding-hindi ako magiging sagabal o magiging dahilan ng paghihirap nya. But after all that what did I get? Nothing. Our marriage quickly crumbled in an instant. It's been a few months since we last ate out. Actually, hindi ko alam kung matatawag ba iyon na date dahil ako lang naman kumain mag-isa. I waited for him to come but he didn't then I found out through his friends later that he was with his ex-girlfriend, having a date with her. That night was a mess, but also the night when I realized na ako lang ang nag iinvest sa relationship na 'to. Im the only one who actually cares and values our marriage. But I think it's time for Me and my Husband, Lucian Keanu Mancini, to go on our own ways. Sya bilang CEO while I chase my dream to become a Model.

Being one born into wealth, affluence, and power. Blake didn't even think twice, having missed the affluent life he was used to. He accepted immediately, broke up with Tasha Harrison unceremoniously and left Buffalo city. Seven years later. Tasha, now an accomplished associate professor, had to sort out for Blake to come help the son she had kept away from him. Will he do it or leave her and their son to fate….?
