Chapter 12

"The Consigliere is here."

The butler announced respectfully at the estate doors. A black Rolls-Royce parked at the stone steps.

A middle-aged man in a three-piece suit stepped out. He was the Family's chief advisor, my father's most trusted man. His appearance meant only one thing.

Major Family business.

    "The Consigliere is here."The butler announced respectfully at the estate doors. A black Rolls-Royce parked at the stone steps.A middle-aged man in a three-piece suit stepped out. He was the Family's chief advisor, my father's most trusted man. His appearance meant only one thing.Major Family business."Miss Blackwood, Mr. Julian." He walked into the living room, holding a briefcase. "I've brought the trust inheritance documents you both need to sign."Julian and I exchanged a look. These were the documents we'd been waiting for."Please, sit." I motioned to the chair across from me.Silas tactfully stood up, ready to leave."Stay." I stopped him.The Consigliere opened his briefcase and pulled out a thick legal file."Per Family tradition, this document records the line of succession." He placed it on the coffee table. "We need to verify the birth times and the allocation of inheritance rights."Julian eagerly leaned over to look.Then, his face went deathly pale."This is impossib

    "Seraphina!"Julian pushed open the Estate's heavy oak doors, his face glowing with the excitement of being home. His Tom Ford coat was wrinkled, his hair a mess.I had just set down my bags when I saw him bouncing around the living room."Mom sent me back to serve you!" He grinned like a kid with candy. "She said I have to take good care of you for Thanksgiving!"I was about to reply when the Estate's security alarm suddenly blared.Guards shouting. Sirens. The sharp screech of braking tires."What's going on?" I frowned.Julian turned pale. "I don't know."The front doors were kicked open violently.Silas stormed in."How did you get in?" I frowned. "The security here is military-grade."Silas didn't speak. His left arm was shredded by the perimeter razor wire, his tactical gear torn. Blood dripped from his fingertips onto the expensive rug. He clearly forced his way in, single-handedly tearing through three hidden checkpoints.But he was completely oblivious to his wounds. His dark

    The phone rang at exactly 7 AM."Seraphina," my father's deep, authoritative voice came through. "Your mother and I are coming to your campus today. We need to discuss something."I was instantly awake. "What is it?""The consolidation plan for the East Coast ports. We need your stance on it."Damn. Family business. Major business."I'll be ready."I hung up and quickly changed into a sharp Armani suit. Twenty minutes later, a black Cadillac pulled up to my dorm.Julian and Silas were there too.Like two giant dogs waiting for their owner, they had been staking out my door for god knows how long. Seeing the luxury car, both froze."Seraphina!" Julian rushed over, eyes red and puffy. "Why are Mom and Dad here?""Get lost," I shoved him aside. "Don't let them see you like this."Silas shoved Julian away and rushed to me first."Sir!" He gave a slight bow to the Mafia Don stepping out of the car.My father stopped. His sharp eyes scanned Silas."Sir," Silas instantly switched to professio

    "Both of you, explain this right now!" Julian pointed at Silas and me. "What the hell is going on?"His voice shook. His eyes were full of betrayed rage and despair."It's simple." Silas straightened his collar, smirking coldly at Julian. "I succeeded.""Succeeded at what?""Succeeded in taking your place." Silas's voice dripped with a victor's arrogance. "Now it's my turn to serve her. And you, my dear friend, can get lost."Julian went ghost pale. "Impossible... you said you were going to save me...""I did save you." Silas shrugged. "From a pathetic lapdog into a free man. You should be thanking me.""Thank you?" Julian's voice pitched higher. "Thank you for betraying me? For stealing the only person I care about?""Care?" I finally spoke up. My voice was ice cold. "Julian, what do you actually care about? Me, or the sick thrill of my absolute dominance?"Both men froze."Answer me." I stepped toward Julian. "In eighteen years, have you ever tried to fight back? Ever questioned a si

    Seraphina's POV"What do you think of this place?" I sat down in the VIP box of the private theater.Silas looked around. Black leather seats. A private bar. A massive screen. Renting this for one night cost what a normal person made in a year."It's nice." He sat next to me, keeping exactly an arm's length away. "Thanks for inviting me.""Don't thank me yet." I picked up my champagne. "The movie hasn't started."The lights dimmed. Previews began playing.I could feel Silas stealing glances at me. Every time I turned, he'd snap his eyes away and pretend to watch the screen."You're nervous," I said softly."I'm not.""Liar again." I leaned closer. "Your hands are shaking."Silas clenched his fists. "I'm just... not used to this kind of setting.""What setting? A date?"His breathing hitched. "Is this a date?""What do you think?"In the dark, I saw him slowly turn his head. His dark eyes glinted in the dim light."Seraphina..." his voice was a whisper.He started leaning in slowly. I d

  • My Brother’s Lethal Partner Fell for Me   Chapter 7

    I stared at the seventeen unread texts from Silas.The first one was normal enough: [Valentine's Day is coming up. Any plans?]Then it took a sharp turn: [I know I don't have the right, but...][If you need company...][I'm not hitting on you, I just want...][Never mind, forget I asked.]The last few left me completely speechless: [If Julian disappeared from this world, would you be sad?][Hypothetically speaking. Purely hypothetically.][Baby? You there?]This psycho. I quickly texted back.[What are you going to do to Julian?]Instant reply: [Nothing! I swear! I was just curious!][Stay away from my dog.][Understood! So about Valentine's Day...]Before I could reply, Julian texted: [Sis, scored two black-market tickets for the John Wick premiere. VIP box. You want them?]I'd been waiting for this movie for six months. Julian was actually useful for once.[How much?][Eight grand. Already bought.]I wired him the money and replied coldly: [I'll take both.]Julian instantly sent a he
