Three years ago, Seraphina Devereaux vanished without a trace, leaving behind her powerful billionaire husband, Lucian Devereaux, and the life she once knew. She thought she had escaped him, thought she had erased every trail leading back to her. She was wrong. Now, Lucian has found her. And he’s not letting her go. Dragged back into his world of wealth, power, and control, Seraphina refuses to be the obedient wife he once knew. But as she fights to break free, she must protect the one secret that could shatter everything—a secret Lucian can never know. But Lucian isn’t the same man she left behind. He’s darker, more ruthless, and he’s determined to unravel every lie she’s ever told. Because this time, there’s no running. And in Lucian’s world, she belongs to him.

Chapter 1 :The Past Catches Up

Seraphina had spent the last three years perfecting the art of disappearing. She had learned how to blend in, how to live without leaving a trail. She had abandoned everything—her old name, her wealth, and most importantly, her past. The quiet town of Willow Creek had been the perfect hiding place. Here, she wasn’t Seraphina Devereaux, wife of a ruthless billionaire. Here, she was just Sera Lane, a waitress at Evergreen Café, earning just enough to survive. And survival was all that mattered. At least, until today. A strange feeling had settled in her chest the moment she stepped into work that morning—a tight, suffocating unease that she couldn’t shake. It was irrational, she told herself. Until the café door swung open. And she heard his voice. "You thought I wouldn’t find you, wife?" Seraphina’s entire body froze. The world around her faded—the quiet chatter of customers, the scent of roasted coffee beans, the soft jazz playing in the background. Everything di...

Chapter 2 : No Way Out
Seraphina's fingers tightened around the edges of the marriage certificate, the paper crinkling under her grip. The words blurred before her eyes, but she didn’t need to read them. She already knew what they said. Lucian was staking his claim. She forced herself to lift her gaze, meeting his piercing gray eyes. “You can’t just walk in here and—” “I can,” he interrupted smoothly, his voice low, steady. Dangerous. “And I just did.” Heat flared beneath her skin—anger, fear, desperation, all tangled together. Seraphina glanced around the café, her stomach twisting. The other customers were pretending not to listen, their eyes darting between their drinks and the scene unfolding in front of them. She needed to get out of here. “I have customers to attend to,” she said stiffly, forcing her voice into something normal. “If you’ll excuse me—” Lucian stepped into her path. "You're not walking away from me again, Seraphina." She swallowed hard. Not here. Not in front of

Chapter 3: Trapped in His World
Seraphina sat rigid in the backseat of Lucian’s sleek black Aston Martin, her hands clenched into fists on her lap. The city lights blurred past the tinted windows as they sped through the streets, each mile pulling her further away from the life she had built. She should have fought harder. She should have screamed, run—anything but let herself be swept back into Lucian’s world. But deep down, she had known there was no escape. Not from him. Lucian sat beside her, one arm resting on the center console, his expression unreadable. The silence between them was thick, suffocating. Finally, she found her voice. “Where are you taking me?” Lucian didn’t glance at her. “Home.” A shiver ran down her spine. Home. That word didn’t belong to her anymore. Her home had been a tiny apartment in Willow Creek, where she could breathe, where she could exist without fear. Not the glass and steel fortress Lucian called home. “I’m not going back,” she said, forcing steel into her voice. Lucia

Chapter 4: Caged
The sound of the heavy oak door closing behind her sent a shiver down Seraphina’s spine. She stood frozen in the grand bedroom—their bedroom. Nothing had changed. The same luxurious king-sized bed with silk sheets, the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city, the scent of Lucian’s cologne lingering in the air. It was a prison disguised as paradise. Lucian leaned against the doorway, watching her with a calculating gaze. "You can stop looking for an escape," he said coolly. "There isn’t one." Seraphina turned sharply to face him, her nails digging into her palms. "You can’t keep me here against my will" A smirk tugged at Lucian’s lips. "Legally, I can. You’re my wife, and under the law, I have every right to—" "I don’t care about your damn laws!" she snapped. "You lost the right to control me the day I walked away." Lucian’s jaw tightened, but his smirk didn’t falter. Instead, he took slow, measured steps toward her, forcing her back until she hit the edge of the

Chapter 5: Shadows of the Past
Seraphina sat at the vanity, staring at her reflection in the gilded mirror. Her hair was still damp from the shower, strands clinging to her skin like delicate chains. The dress Lucian had left for her—a silk gown in a shade of midnight blue—clung to her body, fitting too perfectly. He still remembers my size. The thought made her stomach twist. She wanted to rip the dress off, to throw it in his face, but she knew better than to provoke him now. Lucian was playing a long game—one she had no choice but to endure. A knock at the door made her tense. Before she could respond, the door swung open, and she walked in. Evelyn. Lucian’s right-hand woman. Tall, poised, and breathtakingly beautiful, Evelyn had an air of effortless elegance that made Seraphina’s stomach churn. She wore a fitted black dress, her blonde hair pulled into a sleek bun, and when she smirked, it was with the confidence of a woman who knew she had power. Seraphina's gaze flicked to the wine glass in Evelyn’s h

Chapter 6: The Edge of the Lie
The chandelier above cast a golden glow over the grand dining hall, but Seraphina felt none of its warmth. She sat stiffly at the long mahogany table, a place set for two, but the atmosphere was anything but intimate. Lucian sat across from her, calm, composed—watching her like a predator watching its prey. “I expected you to be more talkative,” he mused, twirling his wine glass between his fingers. Seraphina picked at the untouched food on her plate. “I have nothing to say.” Lucian smirked. “That’s a lie. But I’ll let you keep it—for now.” The weight of his words settled over her like a noose tightening ever so slightly. He was getting closer. Too close. The doors creaked open, and Evelyn strode in with effortless confidence, her black dress hugging her every curve. Seraphina didn’t miss the way Evelyn’s fingers trailed along Lucian’s shoulder as she leaned in, whispering something in his ear. He chuckled. Seraphina’s stomach twisted, but she refused to react. She wouldn’t

Chapter 7: Shattered Illusions
Seraphina moved through the dimly lit hallway, her pulse pounding with each step. The silence in the mansion felt unnatural, as if the walls themselves held their breath, waiting for something to unfold. She hadn’t intended to wander. But after her call with Ava, the suffocating weight in her chest had become unbearable. She needed air. She needed clarity. And that was when she heard it. A soft, feminine laugh. Evelyn. Followed by a deep, husky murmur. Lucian. Seraphina’s heart clenched. Her fingers tightened into fists at her sides as she followed the voices down the corridor. They led her to Lucian’s private study—a place that had once been hers as much as his. The door was slightly ajar. She hesitated. Every instinct screamed at her to turn back, to not look—but she couldn’t stop herself. Slowly, she pushed the door open. And what she saw made her stomach plummet. Lucian sat on the leather couch, shirt unbuttoned, his muscular chest exposed. Evelyn straddl

Chapter 8: The Fire Inside
She didn’t stop walking. Not when she reached the hallway. Not when the burn in her throat became unbearable. She needed to breathe. To think. To forget. But as she pushed open the balcony doors and stepped into the cold night air, she knew one thing for certain. No matter how much distance she put between them, Lucian’s fire would never stop burning inside her. And that was the most dangerous part of all. Seraphina slammed the door behind her, the echo ringing through the dimly lit room. Her chest rose and fell in shallow breaths as she pressed her back against the wood, eyes shut tight. Don’t think about it. Don’t feel it. Don’t let him get to you. But the image of Lucian and Evelyn was burned into her mind, taunting her. Evelyn’s smirk. Lucian’s silence. The way his eyes held hers like she was the only one who mattered—until she wasn’t. Her fingers curled into fists, nails digging into her palms. A bitter laugh escaped her lips as she shook her head. "Pathetic,

Chapter 9: A Dangerous Dance
The room seemed to shift as Raphael approached, his presence commanding. He was just as she remembered—dark-haired, effortlessly powerful, with a smirk that hid too many secrets. Lucian tensed beside her. “Raphael,” Seraphina greeted smoothly. “What a surprise.” He took her hand and pressed a slow, deliberate kiss to her knuckles. “You look stunning, as always.” Lucian’s glass shattered in his grip. A slow smile spread across Raphael’s lips. “Still breaking things, I see.” Lucian stood, towering over them. “What are you doing here, Moretti?” Raphael slid his hands into his pockets, eyes gleaming with amusement. “I heard Seraphina was back. Thought I’d come see her for myself.” Seraphina lifted a brow. “So this is a social visit?” Raphael’s smirk deepened. “You could say that. But I also came to warn you.” Lucian’s expression darkened. “Warn her about what?” Raphael’s gaze locked onto Seraphina’s. “That the walls are closing in. And soon, you won’t be able to hide the truth

Chapter 10: A Lover’s Deception
Lucian stood frozen in the doorway, his expression unreadable, but Seraphina knew what he was thinking. Raphael, ever the opportunist, smirked and took a step closer to her, deliberately invading her space. “Well, this is awkward.” Lucian’s gaze darkened, shifting between them. His jaw was tight, his breathing controlled—but Seraphina saw the telltale signs of rage. The storm brewing beneath his carefully composed mask. Raphael, however, was enjoying every second of it. He stretched his arms lazily before speaking. “You know, Lucian, barging into a woman’s room in the middle of the night is a bit rude.” Lucian’s fists clenched. “Get. Out.” Raphael chuckled, shaking his head. “I was just leaving anyway.” Then, just to push it further, he turned to Seraphina and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. It was the final straw. Lucian moved. In a blur of motion, he lunged—grabbing Raphael by the collar and slamming him against the wall. The room shook with the impact. Seraph
