"I'm sorry Chloe, I've been in love with Alex ever since you introduced him to me

"I can't believe that you of all people will do this to me lily, I trusted you, you were like a sister to me, I thought you considered me as one too but now it feels like you let a man come in between us, it's heartbreaking to realize that our bond wasn't as strong as I believe"..

Surrounded by a sea of strangers, I find comfort in anonymity, allowing myself to let loose and forget about my troubles for a while. As I stumbled through the crowd, my vision slightly blurred from the drink, and I accidentally bumped into someone, I saw a tall man, an impeccably dressed man with a stern expression, instead of feeling anger, I surprised myself by wrapping my arms around him in a tight hug, in a mix of confusion and vulnerability, I leaned in and placed a kiss on his lips, catching him off guard, before the handsome stranger could react, I pulled away and when the tensions reach his peaks my stomach rebels and I end up throwing up on him..

I weave through the crowd, catching glimpses of swirling bodies and flashing lights. The air is thick with anticipation, and I can't help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension. As I make my way to the bar, my eyes scan the room, searching for a distraction from my troubled thoughts. The club is alive with pulsating music, flashing lights, and a sea of bodies moving in sync with the beat. I caught up in the electrifying atmosphere, and let the music guide my every move as I danced with a random girl. Our bodies sway in perfect harmony, our eyes locked in a momentary connection. The thumping bass resonates through my veins, heightening my senses and making me feel alive. But just as the chemistry between us intensifies. As I was lost in the groove on the dance floor, a stranger slightly tipsy, bumped into me in a moment of pure serendipity. Startled by the unexpected collision she hugged me so tight, I found myself momentarily speechless. And then, out of nowhere, the stranger leaned in and planted a kiss on my lips. The mixture of surprise and shyness overwhelmed me, leaving me unable to comprehend what just happened. In that vulnerable moment, my mind raced, trying to make sense of the situation and find the right words to respond. Her face turns pale, and she starts to sway unsteadily. Before I can react, she faints right into my arms. It's a moment of pure shock and concern as I instinctively catch her, feeling the weight of her unconscious body against me. The club falls into a hushed silence as everyone watches in disbelief. My heart races as I gently lower the stranger to the ground, my mind racing with worry and confusion. It's a dramatic turn of events that leaves me questioning everything, unsure of what to do next if I should leave her there or book a hotel for her, I gently lifted her into my hands and headed to my car, and her murmurs grew, through her faint cries, she keeps calling Alex, my heart aches as I held her closely, I carried her to my car and as I was putting on her seat belt, tears fall off from her eyes, I gently wipe away her tears, as I leaned in closer to get a clearer look of her face, I couldn't help but be captivated by her beauty, a mix of emotions swayed within me, but just as I started to pull away, but she clung to me, and she murmured "I love you" in her sleep and my heart skipped, the tenderness in her voice stirred up something within me

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. Seraphina Devereux is the cherished yet rebellious daughter of Vincent Devereux, a man whose empire is built on fear, power, and unyielding control. 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.
