Seducing The Devil Mafia Lord He Was Getting Married
Cattleya’s POVAs I sat in the dimly lit room, the man's gaze seemed to burn into me, his eyes darting back and forth as if searching for a weakness. A bead of sweat trickled down my temple, a silent response to the intensity of his scrutiny."Well, thanks to me, you're still alive," he finally said, his voice a low rumble. "Leo could have killed you today if I hadn't intervened."I forced a smile, my teeth gritting against each other. "So, including you? You want to stop me from finding the truth? Because you know something about it?"He reached into his pocket, his fingers brushing against something hard. "Your sister wasn't just an ordinary person. Her image was important, and revealing the truth would only cause chaos—by dragging my name."I nodded and took a sip of the rich red wine. The taste was bitter on my tongue, a stark contrast to the sweetness of my memories of my sister."The only difference between us," I said, standing up, "is that I have nothing to hide. But you, you

Who do you think you are?" Elise yelled, her voice trembling with rage."I'm Cattleya Sullivan, and I'm your fiance's girlfriend," I said, my voice steady and confident."Are you out of your mind?!" she screamed, her face flushed with wrath. All eyes in the coffee shop turned to us, their faces a mixture of shock and amusement."Sullivan?" Elise murmured, her voice barely a whisper. "That name sounds familiar. I remember her... her name was Ariella, wasn't it? Such a tragic loss. May her soul rest in peace."My heart pounded in my chest. Did she know something about Ariella, too?What a strange coincidence.Jaxon had no choice but to grab my hand and pull me outside. Elise followed, her tears streaming down her face.

Cattleya’s POVI wasn't sure if he had heard me correctly. For the first time ever, I saw a genuine look of confusion on his face. I couldn't help but laugh at his reaction.Had I just made the Devil Mafia Lord look like a fool?I sighed, a smile playing on my lips. "Are you okay?""Do you want to marry me?" he asked, his voice filled with a mix of surprise and hope."Yes," I replied without hesitation.His lips parted in awe. He seemed stunned as if he couldn't believe I had just said that. After a moment of hesitation, he spoke. "Well... I'm very easy to negotiate, princess.""So, you're telling me you're going to leave your fiancée for me?"

She'd suffered all her life and had met a tragic end.Sister Lorna, the owner of the orphanage convent, was the only nun with whom Ariella shared everything.

Cattleya’s POV"What do you mean, Ms. Catt?" Vianne asked."Nothing. Just do your job and find me the most suitable gown for tomorrow night. I want it delivered tomorrow at 10 AM, then schedule an appointment for me at the salon. Okay?"Vianne replied politely, "Alright. Don't worry, I'll handle everything."I massaged my temples, thinking my parents might want me to marry Patrick. Then I stared at my engagement ring, which could easily cover the cost of the entire wedding. How ironic.****Next Day, I woke up to the sound of the doorbell ringing; the condo staff had delivered the box for me. When I checked the time, it was already 10 a.m. I guess Vianne did her work excellently. I put the big rectangular box on my bed. Then I opened the box and smiled because it contained an excellent gown for tonight's event. My stomach growled because I was hungry, and as soon as I opened the fridge, I bit my lower lip and frowned, "Darn, no food. I forgot to buy the groceries last week." After

Dad's company is failing, and his business partner will want to cut ties with us..."I put my hand on my temple and massaged it, my mind racing. "I should look for more investors or a new business partner to help my dad's business. Yes, that's right."I took a deep breath and walked out of the greenhouse, all the maids staring at me as if I'd done something wrong that morning.I glared at them and said, "What are you looking at?"One of the maids replied, "Ms. Catt, we did all of this for you. We heard that you rejected Mr. Patrick's proposal. So, what should we do with the preparations for tonight?"I looked around and realized that all their efforts would be wasted if they had to clean everything up. Clearing my t

Seducing The Devil Mafia Lord Complicated
Cattleya’s POV"I don't understand why you're acting this way, Catt! I've been looking for you for weeks. Why are you divorcing me all of a sudden? Did I do something wrong? Did I upset you? Did you hear something bad about me? Tell me… maybe I can explain it better," he said, his voice pleading for a second chance. I noticed his shoulders shrugging nervously because of my sudden decision until he shook his head and asked, "Cattleya, did something happen? Did that bastard do something terrible to you? Did he touch you?"I gulped softly and shook my head. "No, Jaxon. You heard me, right? I want a divorce. That's it. We're done."He clenched his jaw, his fists balling up in anger.

She died in a car accident, eight months pregnant with our child," he confessed, his voice trembling. "I don't want that to happen to any woman, not even the wife of my enemy. I only want to see him suffer by not seeing you."I gasped, stunned by his revelation. I had no idea he was carrying such pain. Despite his good intentions, my heart ached for my husband, Jaxon.

"This is not okay, Jaxon! Don't hurt my sister!""Grace is sick!" I said.Suddenly, Anita stormed in. "You're just Fred's nephew. Just because Fred gave you permission to be our guardian doesn't mean you should send my daughter to a mental hospital!"I sneered softly. "I have so many things to do, especially looking for my wife for so many weeks now! And all of you questioned my authority? Then be it, I'm no longer taking care of this family. All of you can do whatever you want!" Then, I turned my back on them.Anthony tried to call my name. "Jaxon..."Then Anita said, "Just let him go, Anthony... he's mad."I walked outside with a dismayed expression and puffed a cigarette.

Then she said, "If you're thinking about how to find her, how can you think better if you're not eating any food?"I stood up, fixed my necktie, and said, "Elise, why are you still here? Didn't I just tell you I don't want you here? I have a wife, and you can't serve me as if you're my wife."She scoffed, "Really? I'm only worried about you, Jaxon. Why are you overreacting? And of course, I've been part of your family ever since I was a kid, and I became your fiancée before that woman arrived in your life.""Elise, I know your point.

She opened her eyes, looked around, and gasped in shock when her gaze landed on me. "Who are you?" she asked.I smirked and repeated her question, "Who are you?"She rolled her eyes at me.

Noah is the real father of Aubrey, not you..."He laughed at me, his expression turning serious. "Oh, sorry if I fooled you again. I'm not the real father of Aubrey. That's why I didn't do anything wrong to your parents' lives, because they got my daughter.
