Even as a child, Adrian had known that his father held the general in high regard. It was why he had let him stay at that event back then.
Calling his father a liar in front of the man he respected the most would be sweet revenge.
But then Adri

“Really?”Before Seraphina could respond, she spotted a familiar car approaching from the end of the driveway.The car passed the Camry and pulled up beside them.Sarah stepped out with a fuming Vivian in tow.Unwilling to entertain Vivian’s petty drama, Seraphina simply looked at Sarah.“It’s barely a scratch, Miss. It’s bandaged up nicely, and pictures were taken in case the wound suddenly becomes… different.”Vivian snorted just then. “You shameless... You think you can just cover everything up?”Seraphina’s tone was frosty. “Why would I want to cover up how yo

Adrian had barely rounded up when the sound of a car reached them from outside.Before they could react, Helena’s hurried footsteps sounded on the stairs.“Oh, my daughter. What have they done to you? My…” She made a beeline for the main door, just as Seraphina and Adrian stood up.The door opened before she could reach it, and she froze when she saw the person standing just beyond it.“Who are you?” she asked tersely as Adrian and Seraphina emerged from the living room.“I was just about to announce her, ma’am. She’s asking for Miss Seraphina,” a guard said.Helena’s long hiss made the lady’s eyes widen.

“You and I, we stick together. Against it all.”Seraphina shifted uncomfortably. “I thought that’s what this is about? To be together in this, so…”She jolted when Adrian reached for her hand.He slowly unfolded it, exposing the ring she had removed, still tightly imprinted against her palm.“I don’t want to break our engagement, Miss Vale,” he said earnestly.She tried to pull her hand back, but he held firm.“Adrian.”“Seraphina.”Resignedly, she sighed, “It’s not the same thing.”<

The hum in her throat was as much of his undoing as the way her dainty fingers trailed his back.Heat swept through him as he held her closer and…“What sort of nonsense is this?!”Seraphina shivered. Whether it was part of the performance or from passion, Adrian had no idea.Then she leaned back and whispered against his lips.“Babe, they’re scaring me.”She batted her lashes so coquettishly that he would have laughed if his guts were not tied in knots.Instead, he turned to the red-faced Geoffrey, saying, “With due respect, father-in-law, I need you to step away.”“This is preposterous. This is…”“Baby, I am feeling so hot,” Seraphina crooned. “I think I should take my top off. Would you help me?”So saying, she already turned her back to him, gesturing at her zipper.Adrian swallowed hard, wondering if she really would dare.“Shameless! You’re beyond saving!” Geoffrey snapped, his face red as tomatoes, as he stalked upstairs.Helena followed right at his heels, saying, “You can’t j

Sarah was already moving before Geoffrey shook himself out of his haze.“Hey, how dare you talk to her like…?”Sarah was almost at the landing.“Where is she taking her?” Helena asked Seraphina.Seraphina shrugged.Helena’s eyes widened. “You… are you sending my daughter to a slaughterhouse? You think you can keep me here? I am going with them!”“Okay,” Seraphina simply said.Helena blinked, clearly expecting a refusal. Then she tossed her hand and immediately rushed out of the door.“I will come back to you,” G

“What the…?”“What’s going on here?” Helena’s voice resounded from the hallway.Coincidental or convenient?Adrian’s thought was interrupted as Helena rushed towards her wailing daughter.She blanched at the sight of blood.Her scream pierced the morning air.“Geoffrey!!!! Honey!!! Seraphina has killed my daughter.”Adrian gave the woman an askance look.Surely Seraphina was just standing some steps away from where Vivian was writhing like a wounded snake, but automatically believing she stabbed her was far-fetched when Helena did
