SEVASTIAN

I felt a sense of relief settle over me now that I could see her fiery spirit returning. I couldn’t help but smile as I watched Celestina.

Just a short while ago, she was trembling, lost in a terror I couldn’t fully comprehend. But now, the spark was back in her eyes, the confidence I’d grown to admire returning to its rightful place.

“You’re blushing,” I teased when I noticed the redness on her cheeks, “Does that mean you’ve finally fallen under the spell of my unparalleled handsome—”

Before I could even finish the sentence, something soft smacked me square in the face.

I blinked and startled, as the pillow she’d just hurled at me tumbled onto the bed.

Slowly, I lowered my hand, only to see her glaring at me, her cheeks a brilliant shade of red.

“You’re damn annoying Ortega. Get out!” she snapped, pointing toward the door as if that would make me obey.

I arched an eyebrow, amusement tugging at my lips. Her stubbornness was adorable, like a kitten trying to hiss at a lion

  • Wedded To My Enemy   Chapter 63: They Are Family

    CELESTINA I am still annoyed at Sevatian’s cocky antics, yet somehow, I can’t deny that I was smitten by his devilish handsome face that I can’t erase from my mind. He’s like a sexy devil, alluring me to dive in his beauty. He was like a magnet, pulling me into his charm that is hardly to resist. He’s also dangerous… Dangerous to my fragile heart, who slowly opened a space for him to live. And that kiss... Damn him. It was hot and tempting to do more. Even though I protested to his kisses and tried to push him away I was still powerless, in strength, and emotion. My lips still tingled from the warmth he gave, and as much as I hated to admit it, I was craving more.Without realizing it, my fingers brushed over my lips. I frowned, shaking my head. This wasn’t me. I wasn’t supposed to be swooning over him. Yet here I was, letting his lingering warmth clouded my thoughts.I glanced toward the door he’d left. My pride telling me I shouldn’t follow him,but curiosity gnawed at me.

  • Wedded To My Enemy   Chapter 64: Suspicious

    SEVASTIANI was quite shocked to see Celestina come to find me just to say thanks. As I silently watched her talking with Natasha, I could even help but to wonder if she heard anything. As I silently observe her while exchanging some conversation, it seems like she didn’t hear anything. Has she heard anything? But her tone was casual, her demeanor composed, but there was something beneath the surface an energy, a tension that I couldn’t ignore. “Kind?” Natasha repeated, her voice dripping with sarcasm.I wasn’t the only one questioning this unexpected visit, also Natasha found it suspicious about her sudden appearance. Natasha’s sharp gaze was locked on Celestina, doubt practically radiating from her eyes. She was always meticulous, always suspicious, and Celestina’s reasoning wasn’t convincing enough to fool her.“Well… you helped me,” Celestina replied, her voice soft as she fidgeted with her fingers.It was subtle, but there was unease. A slight tremor in her voice, the smalles

  • Wedded To My Enemy   Chapter 69: Investigate

    NATASHAAs I descended the grand staircase, my heels clicking softly against the polished wood, my thoughts were entirely consumed by the puzzle that was given by a subtle hint that I got from my son. Neo’s innocent drawing and his mention of her ‘twin sister’ replayed in my mind, gnawing at the edges of my curiosity.Could it be possible? That Celestina truly has a twin? And if so… was that twin sister of her, is the woman Donovan had an affair with? The idea seemed far-fetched, yet it wasn’t something I could dismiss outright. There were too many layers to Celestina’s story, and too many mysteries about her past and personality. What's the secret she holds? I am so curious that I can’t help but think about it. By the time I reached the gazebo, the cool night air did little to clear my head. The garden lights cast soft shadows across the intricate latticework, but even the serenity of the setting couldn’t distract me from the task at hand.I slipped my phone from my pocket, my

  • Wedded To My Enemy   Chapter 68: Our Secrets

    CELESTINAWhen Natasha left the room, I was about to follow her when suddenly Neo stopped me. His small fingers tugged at the fabric of my blouse, halting me mid-step. “Aunt Celestina…” he murmured, his voice so soft it was nearly swallowed by the quiet hum of the night.I turned back to him, my chest tightening at the sight of his bowed head, his shoulders slouched like he carried the weight of the world. His usual energy had fizzled into something small and fragile, and it tugged at a part of me I didn’t know existed until he came into my life.“Are you… mad at me?” he whispered, his words shaky and uncertain. “I’m sorry. I forgot… I forgot to keep our secret.”I glanced at the door where Natasha had just left, my urge to follow was too strong and insistent. However, the sadness in Neo’s voice pulled me back like an anchor. Whatever Natasha was up to could wait, I know that her sudden left might work to her advantage, giving her the opportunity to investigate my background, esp

  • Wedded To My Enemy   Chapter 69: Detective

    SEVASTIANAs I walked out of Neo’s room, the ghost of Celestina’s amused smile still lingered in my mind. She had a way of pushing every single one of my buttons without even trying. It wasn’t just her sharp tongue or her self denial, it was the way she always seemed to draw me in, like she was daring me to figure her out.I leaned against the hallway wall, running a hand through my hair. Damn.That woman was a mystery wrapped in fire and chaos. One minute, she’s soft and maternal, stroking Neo’s hair and calming his fears. Then next, she’s cutting me down with her sharp words and those quick-witted retorts. And God help me, it made me want her more.Her laugh had echoed in the room, light and teasing, and it was still ringing in my ears. I hated how much power she had over me, how her presence could twist my focus and drag me into her orbit. Esa mujer... She was a hurricane, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to survive her hurricane she could bring. I started walking toward the stairs

  • Wedded To My Enemy   Chapter 70: Carson Valeztina

    NATASHAAfter Elena informed me that Sevastian left the villa, I already have a hunch that he might also find Neo’s drawing intriguing, especially when he also knows that Neo is not a child who can easily share something about his past. When I arrived at my son’s room, I knew he was there listening to our little conversation. He might hide when I left the room but I was not stupid for not noticing his shadows, however, I didn’t pay attention to his petty little actions because I was busy with the things I wanted to know. I stride and move toward the balcony, wrapping my shawl around my shoulders as I step outside. The night air was cool and carried the faint scent of jasmine from the garden below. The moon hung heavy in the sky, its pale glow a stark contrast to the dark horizon. I crossed my arms, staring at the shimmering light reflecting off the dew-kissed grass.By this time, Sevastian may know the truth, right? Silas gave me information that Sevastian was already meeting wit

  • Wedded To My Enemy   Chapter 155: Protecting Him

    SEVASTIANI’ve been inside Hector’s penthouse for a couple of hours now, lurking inside of his disgusting small house, and every passing second with him breathing the same air as Celestina makes my blood boil. I was itching to put a bullet between his eyes the moment he stepped in with her like he owned the damn night.They probably didn’t know I was already here watching, waiting. But neither of them said a thing. I kept my eyes fixed on Celestina as she disappeared into one of the rooms, her figure slipping behind the door like a dream I couldn’t reach.Then I turned my attention back to the bastard who thought he could play God.“Celestina, do you want red or white?” he called out, smug and casual like this was some kind of date.“Red. Make it strong,” she replied from behind the door.“Got it!” he said, wearing a smirk that made my fists clench. Then I watched him, that smug little prick, slip something into her drink. A small white capsule, crushed into powder, stirred into th

  • Wedded To My Enemy   Chapter 154: Play At Their Games

    CELESTINAAfter weeks of finalizing the plan, everything was finally set into motion. I'd started going out with Hector more frequently, attending every event he dragged me to, dressed to the nines and playing the perfect, obedient little lover.There’s a saying: keep your enemies close and strike them without realizing it. Right now, I sat beside Hector at some fancy, overpriced event filled with mafia rats dressed in tailored suits, each one pretending they weren’t covered in blood beneath their silk shirts. My arm curled around his, and I forced my lips to twitch into a coy smile as we made our way through the ballroom.Everyone seemed fooled. Everyone… except the man sitting across the room, lounging like a king in his fortress of shadows, his fingers wrapped lazily around a glass of whiskey, his eyes fixed on me.Jack Kostov.He was watching me — no, studying me. Like I was a riddle he already knew the answer to.I turned my head slightly, pretending to listen to Hector talk a

    VALERIAThe air thickened as if the walls themselves were holding their breath. I couldn't stop staring at Victoria.So much of what I thought I knew about her shattered the moment she uttered those words. ‘And now… so are you.’Her voice didn’t rise. It didn’t need that quiet weight she carried sank deep, like stone tossed into still water, rippling all the way through me.I swallowed hard, trying to find something to say. Anything. But my throat felt dry, like ash was lodged in it.“You were… dragged,” I murmured finally, repeating the word like it would somehow make sense of all this. “And you didn’t fight it?”Victoria turned to me, eyes cool but not cold. “I did,” she said. “In every way I could. But when you’re young and someone like Jack sees something in you, it doesn’t matter how hard you kick. He doesn't pull you in. He lures you… until you think you’re stepping into light, only to realize it’s just fire dressed as gold.”Her words settled inside me like smoke.I looked

  • Wedded To My Enemy   Chapter 152: The Four Families

    CELESTINAIt’s been a week since the three of us took shelter in this mansion, our supposed sanctuary, though peace has always felt like a borrowed luxury in this life.Everything felt… normal again, at least on the surface. Victoria had returned to her usual poised, icy self mask on, spine straight, and words that are carefully calculated. Valeria still carried the weight of our shared trauma, but in her own way, she remained the same—sharp-eyed and remained skeptical.I lifted my teacup, sipping the warm liquid before placing it back on the porcelain saucer with a quiet clink. “I plan to return,” I said simply.Victoria didn’t even blink. She calmly placed her own cup down with that same elegance she always carried, as if nothing could ever rattle her. “Are you certain?” she asked, her voice was searching for certainty. “You think you can handle it now?”Her gaze pinned me, unwavering, the kind of stare that could strip you bare if you weren’t ready. But I was. “Yes,” I answere

  • Wedded To My Enemy   Chapter 151: Jack Daughter's

    SEVASTIAN“Sevastian, let him go!” Aunt Priscilla’s sharp voice echoed in the whole room. But I didn’t move nor follow her words. My hand was already fisted in Hector’s collar, dragging him up just enough for his feet to lift slightly off the floor. My jaw clenched so tightly I could feel the tendons stretching down my neck. My blood boiled, and my rage pounding in my ears louder than anyone’s voice.Yet this bastard dared to smirk. That smug fucking smirk like he hadn’t just signed his death certificate.“Didn’t you hear her?” Hector taunted, lips twitching in amusement, his voice thick with mockery.I wanted to crush his windpipe. Right there. Right now.I glared at him, as I tightened my grip. He chuckled like I was a goddamn joke to him. “It seems your godson doesn’t want to collaborate with the Savelli,” he said, glancing over his shoulder.My gaze followed.And there he was.Jack Kostov.Sitting comfortably on the leather couch like he owned the entire fucking city.

    CELESTINAA gentle touch brushes against my face, it was light and careful.I felt the warmth spread through me, it was so familiar that I felt so hurt. Slowly, I opened my eyes and for a moment, everything was hazy and blurred. But I didn’t need a perfect vision to know who stood in front of me.“Found you,” she said softly, poking my cheek like she used to when I was little.I blinked as I adjusted my vision until the haze cleared. There she was, the same woman I used to see when I was a child. The woman who appeared in my fragments of memory and fading dreams. A phantom I once believed was just a trick my mind played to comfort me when no one else would.I shot upright, my breath catching in my throat, and without even thinking, I threw my arms around her.God… I clung to her like I was drowning and she was the last thing keeping me above water.I don’t understand. I didn’t understand why my eyes were suddenly burning, and why my shoulders trembled, or why I felt like something

  • Wedded To My Enemy   Chapter 149: The Old Mansion

    VALERIAAfter Celestina found out the truth about our father, and his connection with the Ortega's, something inside her shifted. No, not just shifted. She changed completely.The weight of it was too much. Knowing that Jack Kostov, a notorious Russian mafia figure with his hands in nearly every syndicate imaginable, was not only our father but also tied to the Ortega family. Even I, who heard about it, makes me tremble. Because I also know how powerful that man is. No, he’s no longer human but a devil in disguise. His works, his business are all in-human. It is widely known how that man was haunted by the government yet they couldn’t even put him in prison because Jack was also protected by some governor, mayor, and even some personnel in police. That’s why he was known as the King of Mafia’s. Some of them admired him and other’s hated him, he had so many enemies yet he was still alive for some reason. And I knew, just like how I felt. Celestina also felt the same, we’re twins a

  • Wedded To My Enemy   Chapter 148: Meeting Him

    SEVASTIANIt’s been three months since I followed Hector all the way to Celestina’s apartment, and I still remember every second of that night like it’s carved under my skin.There are memories that blur over time, yet it’s still vividly reminding me that Celestina doesn't trust me or see me as her husband. I clench my jaw tight as I recall how her hand gently touches his face. I buried myself in alcohol hoping it could lessen but none of it eases the one I felt. Rather, I felt more resentful and hated everything that came into my mind. That night left a mark, and no amount of distraction or alcohol could scrub it clean.“You seem to be lost in thought,” Aunt Priscilla said, her voice slicing through the fog in my head. She sat beside me on the long velvet couch like we weren’t waiting for a goddamn lunatic to walk through the door.I barely turned my head. “Isn’t that normal these days?”She raised an eyebrow but said nothing.“He’s coming today,” Natasha chimed in from across the

  • Wedded To My Enemy   Chapter 147: The Painful Truth

    CELESTINAThe silence felt unbearable.Victoria sat motionless, except for her hands gripping the blanket on her lap so tightly I swore the fabric would tear. Her knuckles had gone white, and the quiet weight in the air gnawed at my chest like a slow, twisting knife.Then Valeria broke the silence that consumed the whole room. “There’s one thing I want to know.” Her voice was low but sharp, different from what she usually sounds. That even I, was turned to look at her and startled by her sudden shift demeanor. Victoria lifted her gaze. Her expression didn’t shift, but something in her eyes flickered like she already knew what Valeria might ask. “Who is our father?” Valeria asked.The moment the words left in her mouth, I saw a raw reaction which I hadn’t anticipated. Victoria’s entire body stiffened, her shoulders rising slightly before trembling like a leaf clinging to a dying branch.It is the same reaction of fear and feeling I felt when I was inside of Neo secret room. “Don’
