I was inside the pool with plenty of girls surrounded by me, One of the girls handed me a glass of whisky, which I collected and sipped. "Easy money. Why does society prevent us from easily accessing large amounts of cash? why can't we just enjoy life to the fullest, with no fucking worries? Damn! And when you are at the top of your game, that's when some motherfuckers want to pull you down.hmmm, we all have our hidden demons, we need to live with them, go numb with them, fucked, and just cop with that son of a bitch and I'm now best friends with the demon, I suppose that's because I eliminated so many bastards and he is proud of me when you enter into a contract with the devil, he will never disappoint you, he will give you everything you wish in exchange for a soul and he got mine as well. I'm soulless." Do you wanna break my back, Daddy? Lucy asks Lucien with a smirk on her face
"Show me what that beautiful back of yours could do, sugar. Lucy went closer to him and started rocking him so hard"You got some hot dirty moves huh? I guess is your lucky day, we are going to break the bed. I whispered into her ears...

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.

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.

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.
