Chapter 1 2

I woke up in a daze, slowly opening my eyes to an unfamiliar room. The soft morning light streamed through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the luxurious surroundings. I blinked a few times, trying to process where I was. It hit me like a wave, I wasn't in my bed, and this wasn't my room.

As I sat up, the crisp white sheets slipped off my shoulders, revealing that I was only half-dressed. Panic rushed through me as I realized the implications of the situation. I couldn't help but feel a tinge of embarrassment and confusion. How did I end up here?

The room around me comes into focus and I find myself in a world of luxury and elegance, the sight takes my breath away for a moment, and I can't help but marvel at the opulence surrounding me. The soft, plush bed beneath me feels like a cloud and the view from the window is nothing short of breathtaking...

But as the haze of sleep begins to lift, my head starts to throb, reminding me of the events from the previous night. Memories flood back, and I can't help but cringe at the sheer absurdity of it all. It was a night filled with unexpected twists and turns, like a rollercoaster ride I never saw coming.

As I tried to piece together the event of the previous night, I remember locking eyes with the mysterious stranger, and the instant something sparked between, it was a magnetic pull, something drawing me closer to him, I couldn't help but feel puzzled, and embarrassed about oww I ended up kissing the handsome stranger last night. But then, like a cruel twist of fate, my stomach rebelled against me. During the passionate moment I couldn't hold back the wave of nausea that washed over me, the magic was shattered replacing my embarrassment and regret.

I glanced at the clock on the bedside table and my heart skipped a beat. I was already late for my job interview! Hastily, I swung my legs over the edge of the bed, my feet landing on the plush carpet. I stumbled slightly as I tried to regain my balance, feeling a bit disoriented from the events of the previous night.

With a sense of urgency, I quickly gathered my belongings and made my way out of the hotel room, my mind racing with questions and a hint of apprehension. What had happened last night? Who was the mysterious stranger I had kissed? And most importantly, would I ever see him again?

As I rushed home to get ready for the job interview, I couldn't help but wonder what happened last night...

As I made my way to the office for my job interview, I couldn't help but feel a mix of nerves and excitement. The building stood tall and majestic, like a beacon of opportunity. The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by an awe-inspiring sight. The place was enormous, with high ceilings and sleek, modern decor that gave it an almost heavenly ambiance. My heart skipped a beat as I took in the grandeur of my surroundings.

To my relief, the job interview hadn't started yet, and there were plenty of people waiting alongside. As I found a seat, I couldn't help but observe the diverse group of candidates, each with their hopes and dreams. The air was filled with a sense of anticipation, as everyone eagerly awaited their turn.

As I nervously entered the office, my heart pounded with anticipation. I had been called by the secretary, who seemed unusually tense. he gestured for me to come forward.

With trembling steps, I walked toward him. The room was dimly lit, and the air felt heavy with tension. I took a seat across from him, trying to maintain my composure. He leaned back in his chair, his piercing gaze fixed on me.

"So, you are here for the job interview, "he said, his voice dripping with indifference. I nervously nodded, my voice barely above a whisper. His expression remains unchanged his eye scanning me from head to toe... My boss needs more nannies," he stated matter of fact.

Confusion grew within me as I mustered the courage to speak up. "Sir, I'm sorry for the interruption, but I believe that there might be a misunderstanding. I'm here for a marketing director position, "I explained my voice filled with a mix of nervousness and determination. His cold demeanor didn't weaver. He simply replied, "Well it seems we have different plans for you.

Before I could protest further, the secretary interrupted"I will email you the address and details, you will start your new role as a nanny tomorrow ", my heart sank. This wasn't what I envisioned for myself, but it seemed there was no room for negotiation.

Torn between my dreams and the reality before me, I hesitated for a moment. Finally, I nodded, my voice barely audible. "Okay sir", I said, my voice filled with uncertainty. I left the office my mind swirling with conflicting emotions.

After the exhausting job interview, I made my way back home, feeling completely drained. I decided to treat myself to a well-deserved break and ordered a delicious pizza for dinner. As I waited for the pizza to arrive, I couldn't resist taking a refreshed shower to show away the stress of the day.

The warm water cascades over my tired body, soothing my muscles and providing a moment of relaxation. It was as if the water was washing away the weight of the interview, leaving me feeling refreshed and bringing a sense of calm.

When I got out of the shower, I put on my clothes immediately I heard a knock on the door, I opened the door hoping for a delicious pizza, only to be greeted by Lily holding a box, a devious smirk on her face. "what the hell are you doing here? My voice quivered with a mix of anger and disbelief.

"Chloe, I want to personally invite you to my wedding, "Lily said, her voice dripping with deceit.

My eyes widened with disbelief, my voice trembling with a mix of anger and hurt. "are you serious, Lily? After everything that happened between us, do you have the audacity to invite me to your wedding?

Lily's smile widened, her eyes gleaming with malice. "oh, Chloe, I thought you would appreciate the irony. You see, I will be marrying your ex-fiance. "

My world shattered in the moment. I felt a surge of emotions, betrayal, anger, and a deep of sense loss. How could you do this to me? You slept with the person I loved and now you are getting married to him.

Lily shrugged, her tone cold and indifferent.." love is just a game, Chloe. And I always play to win. Consider this my final move. "

My voice grew stronger, fueled by a mix of pain and determination. "well Lily you may have won this battle, but I refused to let you destroy me. I will rise above these and find happiness again. My heart ached as I shut the door on Lily's face, my voice trembling with a mix of anger and hurt. "Get out of my house, "I said my words laced with a combination of pain and determination. It felt like someone had plunged a knife right through my heart, and I struggled to catch my breath. The betrayal I had just experienced by the people I loved left my feelings utterly shattered.

At that vulnerable moment, my phone beeped, I immediately reached for it, hoping to see a message from Alex begging me to come back to him. but as I unlocked my phone, reality hit me like a ton of bricks. It wasn't Alex seeking forgiveness, it was an address a reminder of the new job that I have accepted as a nanny. The juxtaposition of my shattered heart and the practicality of my new responsibilities was almost too much to bear.

I felt a mix of emotions swirling within me, I longed for the comfort of Alex's presence, and I knew deep down I needed to find a way to move forward on my own. The pain and confusion I was experiencing made me question everything I thought I knew about relationships. It was in this moment of despair that I found solace in prayer, seeking guidance and strength to navigate the challenging path ahead.

As I stared at the address on my phone, I knew I had to gather, pick up the pieces, and embrace the new chapter in my life.

the air heavy with tension. Seraphina, determined and desperate, had managed to lure Lucien outside under the pretence of needing fresh air. She walked with purpose, her heels clicking against the marble floor as Lucien followed, intrigued by her sudden change in demeanour. As they reached the secluded garden, Seraphina turned to face Lucien, her eyes filled with a mix of defiance and vulnerability. "Thank you for bringing me here," she said softly. Lucien stepped closer, his gaze intense. "Why do I feel like you're up to something?" Seraphina smiled faintly. "Maybe because I am." Before Lucien could react, she swiftly moved behind him, a cloth soaked in chloroform in her hand. She pressed it against his face, and he struggled for a moment before his body went limp. Saraphina's heart pounded in her chest as she signalled to her accomplice, who emerged from the shadows to help carry Lucien to a waiting car. Lucien slowly regained consciousness, the world coming into focus in a dimly lit, unfinished building. He was tied to a chair, his head throbbing. As he lifted his gaze, he saw Saraphina standing before him, holding a gun. Her long, black hair descended over her shoulders, framing her bold, oceanic eyes that glinted with fierce determination. "Damn," Lucien thought, despite the situation. "She's beautiful. Who is she?" Saraphina's voice was steady, though her heart raced. "I need you to take me to Lucien Salvatore." Lucien smirked, hiding his surprise. "And you think this is the way to do it?" Saraphina's eyes narrowed. "I don't care what you think. You're going to help me, whether you like it or not." Lucien leaned back, his eyes never leaving hers. "You're braver than I thought. But you have no idea what you're getting into." Seraphina stepped closer, her grip on the gun tightening. "Then enlighten me." The tension in the air was palpable, their fates now intertwined in a dangerous dance of power and desire.

Her life, ensconced in luxury and privilege, comes with a price: her freedom. When Vincent arranges her marriage to Allaire Moretti, a notorious and dangerous figure in the underworld, Seraphina's defiance reaches its breaking point. Trapped in a web of family loyalty and ruthless ambition, she knows she must escape before she becomes a pawn in a perilous game. Desperation leads her to the one man who can challenge even her father's formidable influence-Lucien Salvatore. A feared criminal mastermind from Colombia, Lucien's name is synonymous with danger, power, and a fortune built on the edge of a knife. His return to New York is driven by a personal vendetta, and his presence sends ripples of fear and fascination through the city's elite. Lucien is a man who bends the world to his will, and Saraphine sees in him the key to her salvation. Their paths cross at a masquerade ball, a glittering facade where secrets and identities are hidden behind ornate masks. Seraphine, determined and daring, approaches Lucien with a proposition: a marriage contract that would benefit them both. Lucien, intrigued by her audacity and beauty, sees an opportunity not just for power, but for a rare partnership in his relentless quest for revenge. In a world where alliances are fragile and betrayal is a constant shadow, Seraphina and Lucien must navigate a labyrinth of deceit, passion, and danger. As they delve deeper into their unholy alliance, they uncover secrets that could shatter their worlds. Seraphina's fight for autonomy clashes with Lucien's drive for vengeance, and together they face enemies on all sides-including those closest to them. Their journey is fraught with peril. Vincent, enraged by his daughter's defiance, unleashes his wrath, determined to bring her back under his control. Allaire Moretti, spurned and dangerous, seeks retribution, his ambitions entangled with violent intent. But Allaire's feelings for Seraphina are genuine, adding a tragic twist to the deadly game. He is determined to win her back, his love for her conflicting with his darker impulses. Amidst this chaos, Seraphina and Lucien's bond grows stronger, driven by mutual respect and a simmering attraction that neither can deny. Yet trust is a rare commodity in their world. As Lucien reveals the true extent of his plans, Seraphina must decide how far she is willing to go to reclaim her life. Will her alliance with Lucien be her salvation or her downfall? And can Lucien protect Seraphina from the enemies that encircle them both, while pursuing his ruthless agenda? In this electrifying tale of power, passion, and peril, Seraphine and Lucien's fates are intertwined in a deadly dance where love is a dangerous game, and freedom comes at the highest price. Will they emerge victorious against the forces that seek to destroy them, or will their ambitions and desires lead them to ruin?
