Rowan’s P.O.V

A 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!

    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

    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

    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

    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,

    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’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.

    Mason’s P.O.VMy fingers slipped down my pocket, watching the scene unfold before me as Romeo fell on one knee, opening the bag before he stood up and flashed her a smile that she returned. I was at a loss for words to say and my mind being befuddled at that moment was an understatement. At that moment, my mind reeled, replaying the conversation that we had concerning this particular ex of hers. The way she had cried in my embrace when she told me he was dead. The way she had grieved for days only for him to turn out to be here…Was it all a lie or what the heck was going on here?How could her ex whom she told me was dead be here right now?My fingers squeezed into folds by my side and despite all the voices in my head that screamed for me to confront Lucia, I remained rooted to the same spot with a storm of fury surging inside of me. More anger coursed through me when he took her hands and kissed the back of it, and seeing the reaction on her face as she tucked a strand behind her

    Rowan’s P.O.VI glanced at the wristwatch around my wrist.“7:30 a.m” My words trailed, glancing up at Seraphina’s window that was shut. A scoff left my mouth at that moment because last night, she had sent a text telling me she wanted to have a word with me as early as six am. I had pressed her to share whatever it was she needed to tell me, but she insisted on meeting by 6 a.m. She had promised to be here on time, yet here I was, waiting alone—how ironic that she wasn’t here now.I tossed my head to the back as a groan left my mouth. “Should I call her or bang on her door?” I muttered to myself, deciding against the idea and slowly, an idea of a better way to wake her up popped into my head. A mischievous smile curved on my lips, darting my eyes off her window while walking towards the shed, and pulling out the lawn mower. It wasn’t like there were any overgrown grasses since the gardeners had taken care of it already. This was about irritating Seraphina so much that she woke up.

    Rowan’s P.O.VI had lied again, and I hated that I did. I wasn't the type to break out of character, and the fact that I had to lie about the search concerning Chloe shattered my heart into pieces. Not only that, but I just didn't have the mind to tell her that the more I searched for Chloe, the more the results remained the same—Nothing. There was no lead whatsoever and nobody could account for what had happened to her except for the fact that the reason for her disappearance was because of what had happened at the beach. And to worsen things, there could be a high chance that she died just like the other children. I was the type of person to always be blunt with people but with Seraphina… I couldn't because it was going to break her in unimaginable ways, so I preferred to cling to that tiny bit of hope that she was still alive. I decided to have faith in Seraphina who believed that she wasn't dead. Her faith wasn't hope, it was a strong conviction that she believed in, so I was

    Seraphina’s P.O.VDread washed over me as I sat in the café, the walls closing in on me with every second that passed by. It was crazy how Rowan was the cause of my sadness. I wasn't supposed to be sad. Yet, I couldn't stop my mind from replaying the words that Ava had said. She had mentioned that she had spotted Rowan this morning. She saw him in a shopping mall yet…My heart sank my stomach and my eyes darted over to the text that dug a hole in my chest, causing my heart to twist in pain. My gaze lingered on the text that he had sent me. “The trip has been postponed for another two days…he will be seeing me soon…” My voice was barely above a whisper. I leaned forward, not being able to take my eyes away from the text as I deliberated confronting him or just ignoring him. And at the same time, I couldn't understand why his personal life bothered me this much. I missed the times when I wasn't concerned about Rowan or anything that he was involved in. I missed the times when he

    Seraphina’s P.O.VSince that day at the park when I broke down, things haven't been the same anymore., I had been thrown into this void that seemed to be sucking the life out of me. Everyone may have moved on and going on with their lives but I seemed to have been stuck in that time. I couldn't grasp the extent of Lucia’s hatred for me and most importantly, I couldn't understand why Rowan did the things that he did for me. Why was he willing to risk everything for someone like me and most importantly, when he mentioned that I meant nothing to him? Do people go that far for someone that means nothing to them?It has been a week since I had last set eyes on Rowan and despite everything Lucia told me about him orchestrating the attacks because of me, I had never confronted him and we didn't even speak about what Lucia told me about. Everyone minded their business since that day because hearing all that he was doing for me was still so hard to believe. It would have been more believab

    Lucia’s P.O.VHow did he figure it out? How did he discover that I had hired a camera crew to record a video that I would use in doing damage control on the media later? My plan had failed and as if that wasn't worse, I had ended up with a broken ankle that was just starting to heal. Rowan’s threat still sent a shiver down my spine and for a second, I had to stop dead in my tracks as the memories of what he had said kept popping up in my mind. That man wasn't a human. He was a demon and I didn't know why it took me so long to figure out how dangerous he was. He shot Leo. Almost killed me and Mason because of her…Seraphina. I sucked in a deep breath, trying to quash the thoughts that were starting to overwhelm me. I shouldn't allow Rowan’s threat to get to me that much instead, I needed to focus on the issue that was at hand. A groan escaped me and the fact that Mason’s family had been trying to reach me for the past few days and I had ditched Mason by not visiting him kind of sca

    Rowan’s P.O.VI had orchestrated a plan—A plan that would make Seraphina follow me to the ice cream stand and that was why I had to leave my wallet to her because I knew that in the end, she would have no option but to bring it but with the way things were going now, it seemed more like my plans had failed because if it didn't, then why wasn't she here now?“What is taking her so long?” I muttered under my breath, frustration seeping through my chest. I glanced at my wrist watch and when I noticed that she had no plans of coming here, I left the line. Could it be that she hadn't noticed the wallet in the car?Or what if there was a high chance that she had used the opportunity to stroll around the pack?A frustrated groan escaped me as I walked back to the spot where I had left her. There she was and I was about to call her name when I noticed the presence of someone around her. At that moment, a chilling wave of intensity surged through me—not born of fear, but of something far da

    Seraphina’s P.O.VThose horrible words that Rowan uttered left a bitter taste in my mouth. They echoed in my mind, cutting deeper and deeper with every second that the words flashed through my mind. He claimed that I had meant nothing to him. Considering our history, it wasn’t supposed to hurt but yet it had hurt me so badly that pain exploded in my chest and anger simmered beneath the surface of my skin. “Rowan Whitmore” I muttered through gritted teeth and it was funny how I wasn’t even bothered about what Lucia had done to me anymore. What bothered my mind were the words that Rowan had spilled without any remorse. I knew that we were always on each other’s tail almost all the time but how could he say that I meant nothing to him?I mean, it was so devastating for him to say something like that to me without thinking twice. And, most importantly, why do I care what Rowan thinks about me?Before, I wouldn’t have given a fuck but now I just couldn’t seem to get my mind off that c

    Rowan’s P.O.VI hadn’t gotten one car but three—an Audi A6, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and the last one, a sleek Ferrari 488 Spider.For someone who wasn't a car freak, her eyes had shown this tiny bit of excitement and shock at the same time before they were replaced with this darkness. At the same time, this excitement surged inside of me, knowing that I had already fulfilled all that I had planned and most importantly, the promise that I had made to Seraphina. She might not understand things because she was still shocked because of the gravity of evil that her twin sister was capable of doing to her. However, she would soon understand the extent to which I was willing to go for her to trample evil people like Lucia underneath her feet. I removed the cuff-links, rolling up my sleeves, swerving onto the highway. I pressed a button and the roof of the car began to open. The wind rushed in, and I darted my eyes to Seraphina who sat on the passenger seat next to mine, her legs curled b

    Seraphina’s P.O.VI could feel the muscles in my body tense and my blood turned cold in my chest. The phone that pressed against my ear slid to the ground as I stared blankly at the television and the reporter whose voice echoed down my ears. “Lucia Thompson, the CEO of the Henderson Pharmaceutical Company and the twin sister of Seraphina Whitmore, the CEO of a growing pharmaceutical company has finally…”Her words faded to the background and my gaze dropped to the headline below the screen. ‘Lucia Thompson, issued a public apology through a press conference early this morning, admitting to her past as a stripper and trying to tarnish her sister’s reputation by using the help of her husband, Mason Thompson”My heart lurched forward and dread settled on my shoulders and before I knew what was happening, tears welled in my eyes, spilling down my cheeks.

    Mason I had been calling Lucia incessantly when the news about the bomb blast flooded the media. The mere thoughts of what she could be going through were like a dagger that twisted through my heart. But despite the number of times that I had called her, she had never answered the call. And to worsen things, she hasn't been here since I regained consciousness. Something was wrong and no matter how much I tried to wrap my head around things, I just couldn't understand what was wrong and where she was. My family claimed that they had called her several times, and she promised to come and never came. And right now, I couldn’t make sense of the news flooding the media. Reports were buzzing about a press conference she had supposedly held earlier in the morning, and it was just after the bomb blast. When I sent people to the bomb blast site to look for her, she was nowhere to be found. Instead, they reported that she had been going around searching for reporters for the press conferen
