Seraphina thought that she had a chance of rekindling her dying marriage on her fourth wedding anniversary only for that hope to be dashed when she caught her husband having an affair with her identical twin sister, Lucia. Framed, sent to jail, and rejected even during pregnancy, Seraphina’s life is turned upside down and her hope is shattered. However, what would happen when her high school bully who is now a billionaire steps into her life and proposes marriage to her? What would happen when Seraphina begins to fall for the same man she loathed and what would happen when she discovers that every point of her life leads back to Rowan, her high school bully?
View MoreMason’s P.O.VSeething with rage, my jaw clenched, gripping the steering wheel so hard that I could feel my veins almost popping out. My plan had failed and as if that wasn’t enough, I had gotten into a greater problem. “Damn!” I slammed my fist against the dashboard, my chest heaving up and down as my mind replayed the conversation that had happened between Seraphina and me. That wasn’t the way things were supposed to turn out!I had underestimated her and thought that she was still that gullible fool who would come crawling back to me the moment I had beckoned. She had changed— hardened, sharpened, and far more dangerous than I had imagined. If that recording of me asking her to have an affair with me manages to get to the public, the situation of my company would worsen and the last thing I wanted was a scandal right now. Considering the way things were already crumbling before my eyes, I couldn’t afford to cause more harm to my company and also damage my family’s reputation.
Seraphina’s P.O.VI leaned in my swivel chair, watching the pretentious display of gifts from my cousins—Ava, Kira, and Karina. The same Ava, who wouldn't waste a single chance to throw snide remarks at me, smiled so brightly that her eyes sparkled. “Ms. Seraphina, I know that you must have heard lies about us causing a scene in your prestigious company, but all of that is a lie and misconception. Right, girls?”Kira and Karina bobbed their heads hurriedly. “Yes ma’am”Despite the frown on my face, an amused smile curled at the corner of my mouth as I twirled a sleek black pen between my fingers. “What is going on here? What is with all the formalities”Ava cleared her throat, taking the bouquet of roses from Karina. “Don't say that ma’am, we are your cousins, and we love you and to show our love for you, we brought these beautiful gifts that reflect your beauty”I raised a brow. “Why are you doing all of this?”The three girls exchanged fleeting glances with one another before they
Mason “Rowan…” I muttered through gritted teeth, raising my head while fixing my gaze on the screen where news about the sudden decline in my company’s stock was being reported. My eyes reddened as anger seeped through my veins, my heart pounding in my chest and despite the horror that was being reported on the screen, the only name that my mind kept screaming was Rowan!The investors pulling out of the company and the shareholders pulling out their shares—All of this showed Rowan’s finger and influence in it. He was on a mission to wreck me just because of a murderer. Rowan had painted me as the image of a toxic ex-husband according to the public. He had rallied disgruntled journalists—those he knew had been dismissed—and orchestrated a campaign against me. They published vicious stories, accusing me of being obsessed with destroying Seraphina, claiming I had manipulated them into inciting public outrage against her.The public, who had once directed their outrage at Seraphina,
SeraphinaI took my seat at the head of the round table, the voices in the boardroom fading in the background as my mind reeled from all the events that had happened with Rowan. Leo had disrespected me and because of that, Rowan had beaten him up and as if that wasn't enough for him, he would have killed Leo if it weren't for my quick intervention. The way his eyes darkened and that creepy smile on his face, when he trained the gun in Leo’s direction, sent shivers down my spine. Rowan may show that he cares for me at times and goes out of his way for me, but deep down, I knew I meant little to him. There were clear boundaries to how far he would go for me.Apart from all of that, confusion swirled in my mind because one thing I knew was that he couldn't have almost killed Leo because of me. So all of this meant that Leo and Rowan might have had some serious rift that made Rowan snap out in the end. I had always known that Rowan had a dark edge to him, but I had never expected that
RowanThe door to the hospital VIP room slid open with a soft whoosh as the nurse raised her head, fear creeping through her eyes as she ducked her head immediately. My eyes darted over to a motionless Leo who lay on the bed with bandaged arms and legs. Did my father honestly think that I wasn't going to find him? He was scared that I was going to go after Leo and he couldn't be any more right because his fears were coming to pass. “Does the wound still ache?” The nurse asked Leo who was still oblivious to the fact that I was standing at the door and ready to unleash his favorite nightmare on him. Leo’s voice croaked, his voice barely above a whisper. “I can still feel this dull ache, but it is better than before” The nurse smiled. “Don't worry, it is only a matter of time before you heal properly”I watched as she adjusted the flow of the IV drip and in the next minute, she was out. I clutched the bouquet of black dahlia, walking towards him with a smile tugging at the corner of
Rowan’s P.O.V I stretched out a helping hand to Seraphina, guiding her down the helicopter as her hands slipped through mine. “Whew! I can't believe you came here with me after so much pestering” She chuckled while I threw a glance at her. “I have no idea why you would want to have anything to do with my family after that” I sucked between my teeth as the memories of that horrible dinner and the words that bastard said to Seraphina coursed through my mind. Since that night, I found it difficult to get rid of those memories. I wasn’t at peace. The way he spoke rudely to her. The lack of remorse even after he got punished by me fueled the rage inside of me. I needed to quench the thirst inside of me and the only way to quench it was to make Leo fall on his knees. I wanted to see that fear in his eyes. Not only that, but I wanted him to realize that he was at my mercy and Seraphina wasn't someone he should disrespect. All of a sudden, Seraphina took me aback, slipping her arms thr
Rowan’s P.O.VA storm brewed deep within me because HOW DARE HE?Anyone who tried to disrespect Flamingo had always been on the receiving end. If I could deal badly with those who wagged their tongues at her, then what made Leo think that he could get away with this?My pulse quickened, my heart pounding so hard against my chest that I could feel it drumming in my ears. I pushed my dad aside, walking towards Liam whose palm was already smeared with the blood that streaked down his face. “B-Blood… Blood… Blood” His lips wobbled as he screamed out in panic. “Mum, blood! Rowan is…”Before he could complete his words, I gripped him by the collar of his shirt and crashed my clenched fist on that stupid face of his. “You called my wife a slut?”A dangerous smirk curled at the corner of his mouth. “Why are you that pissed, though? Isn't she a slut and a…”Another wave of anger coursed through me as that word echoed down my ears. Slut. He dared to call her a slut again! He fucking dared! Wi
Seraphina’s POVMy mind was still reeling from the sudden shift in the media’s portrayal of me. How did I go from being protested against to suddenly being praised in the media? After winning the contract, I received many calls from journalists and reporters requesting an interview with me. I stopped on the pathway that led to Rowan’s parent's mansion, my eyes drifting to Rowan as the cold air brushed through my bare arms, causing me to shiver slightly. “All of this happened as soon as Rowan announced that we were married” I muttered. My heart lurched when Rowan turned. It seemed more like he heard my words. In the next second, he walked up to me, slipping off his coat, and gently wrapping it around my shoulders. “I told you to wear a coat, but you never listen” He shook his head and remembering everything that he had done, different emotions crashed over me and I pursed my lips. “Thank you for the coat and everything” Rowan’s eyes locked onto mine for a second before he averted
Rowan There are two things that I don't forgive— Breaking promises and hurting the people that are dear to my heart. And for Mason, he has crossed all lines but the bright side of all this was that he was exactly where I wanted him to be—My trap. I already knew that he was going to take the first step and unlike others who retaliate once, I don't just strike back—I dismantle so bad that they feel it in their bones. Only if Mason and Lucia knew about the huge blow that would be coming their way soon. Maybe they would have never messed with Flamingo. My assistant, Kaleb, broke my train of thought. “Sir, I just got the information from our insiders that the contract has been given to your wife sir”A smile spread across my face at that moment but was I surprised? No! From the get-go, I had known that she was going to be awarded the contract. So when she had panicked, and cussed at me after Mason and Lucia pulled the stunt they did, I wasn't bothered because I knew that the pieces wo
Seraphina’s P.O.VA golden hue bathed the dimly lit room as the shadow of the flickering candlelight was cast on the wall while I dropped the freshly plucked roses into the vase. “Roasted vegetables, grilled Turkey, and the lobster risotto that you made. I can’t wait to dig into it. Thank you so much for helping me to set up my dinner date with Mason” A small smile played on my lips as I gazed at my reflection in the mirror across the other room. I was dressed in a lacy red lingerie that barely skimmed above my thighs, with a sheer peignoir draped over it. My black obsidian hair cascading down my back in soft waves.I was sexy enough—Enough to rekindle the dying love between Mason and me since he was ready to give us another chance. Lucia, my identical twin sister chuckled over the phone. “You need to learn the art of seduction, Seraphina. Do you need help with anything, if you do, should I come downstairs?”A smile spread across my face, glancing at the wall clock that ticked slo
