The room fell into a tense silence after Rafael’s question.

“So you’re saying,” Rafael continued coldly, “that my organization won’t be cleared unless I cooperate with you, and that you’ll use your authority to press us further if I refuse?”

His gaze sharpened, calm but cutting.

The Secretary of National Defense didn’t look away.

“That’s not what I’m saying,” he replied firmly. “But

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   I'll Be Back for You

    The day everyone had been waiting for had finally arrived.It was the wedding day of Seren and Rafael. Surrounded by family and friends, the ceremony was being held in one of the city's most beautiful churches.Outside the church, Rafael stood near the entrance, waiting for Seren and her family to arrive.Leon watched him from the side and couldn't stop himself from laughing."Try to relax," Leon said as he walked over and patted his friend's shoulder. "It's not like Seren is going to run away."Rafael shot him a look. That only made Leon laugh harder.For years, Rafael had always been the calmest person in the room. The man could stare down armed enemies without blinking.Yet today? Today he looked completely different. Leon couldn't decide whether Rafael was excited or simply terrified."I think they're here." Kim’s voice interrupted them.Everyone turned toward the arriving bridal car. Rafael's heart immediately

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   The Answer Has Always Been Yes

    "Why are you still awake?"Rafael's voice broke the quiet of the night.Seren looked up from where she sat at the edge of the pool, her feet lazily stirring the water. A small smile appeared on her face when she saw him."I'm just getting some fresh air," she replied. "I'm not sleepy yet."Her gaze traveled over his appearance."Why are you out? Do you have somewhere to go?"It wasn't unusual for Rafael to leave in the middle of the night.From conversations she'd overheard between Leon and Trisha, she knew he was dealing with several problems---Eric being one of them.Even with Dane behind bars, trouble wasn't over yet.She could only hope he stayed there."I'll be back before you know it," Rafael said as he walked toward her. "You should get some rest."His eyes settled on the bandage around her neck."How's your injury?" Instinctively, Seren touched the dressing."It's fine. It's not a seri

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   Not My Weakness

    Dane tightened his grip around Seren as he faced Rafael, a mocking smile spreading across his face."It seems you don't know who I am or what I'm capable of."The sinister amusement in his eyes only deepened."You don't have to throw your life away here," Rafael said calmly.Instead of answering, Dane merely smirked and slowly backed toward the deck railings. Rafael discreetly signaled his men not to move.One wrong move could trigger Dane. He might pull the trigger—or worse, jump overboard with Seren."Oh? Why?" Dane taunted. "Are you afraid something might happen to the woman you love?"His grin widened. "So, there is something you fear after all."He grabbed Seren by the throat. "Look at your face, Rafael."Dane laughed loudly. Rafael's fists clenched at his sides.If Dane wasn't holding Seren hostage, he would already be lying unconscious on the floor. But Rafael forced himself to remain patient.

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   A Wedding Under Fire

    "Is this the place?" Leon frowned as he looked around the deserted pier.After receiving Eric's call, Rafael had immediately ordered Daniel to trace its location. The signal had led them here."What exactly is at this pier?" Leon muttered. "A wedding?"The moment the word left his mouth, Rafael froze. A wedding. Eric had sent Seren's engagement ring back to him. And Dane. Dane was obsessed. Obsessed with possessing Seren.The realization hit him like a bullet. His expression darkened."Move." Without another word, Rafael strode toward the yacht docked at the end of the pier.Leon, Trisha, Kim, Daniel, and the rest of their men hurried after him."Would you really kill yourself?" Eric studied Seren with amused curiosity.He didn't believe she would do it. Yet he couldn't deny that he admired her courage.She was far more cunning than he had anticipated."Don't come any closer!" Seren's voice trembled.So did

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   I Never Will Be

    "You seem surprisingly obedient this time." Seren looked up when the cabin door opened. Eric entered.She was already wearing the wedding dress. Not because she had surrendered. Because she was waiting. Thinking. Looking for an opportunity."You may be braver than I expected," Eric admitted."But your weakness remains the same." A smug smile crossed his face."Your family." He studied her carefully."No matter what they do to you, you can never abandon them, can you?"Seren remained silent. Eric escorted her back to the deck. Dane was already waiting. He wore a formal black suit.Around them stood armed men loyal to both Eric and Dane. Apparently, they would be serving as witnesses.Seren searched the crowd. Anna was nowhere in sight."No need to look for your sister." Eric seemed to read her mind."She's safe." He smiled."We'll return her to your family after the wedding."Then his expression harde

  • Owned By the Man She Fears   Bride of Defiance

    "For you." Leon placed a small box on Rafael's desk.Rafael looked up from the documents he had been reviewing."What is it?""No idea."Leon shrugged. "It was delivered a few minutes ago."Rafael frowned. "Delivered? By who?"He picked up the box and opened it. The moment he saw what was inside, his blood ran cold. It was Seren's engagement ring.The very ring he had given her. Leon immediately noticed the change in his expression.At that exact moment, the office telephone rang. Rafael and Leon exchanged a glance. Then, Rafael slowly picked up the receiver."Rafael."The familiar voice on the other end made his grip tighten instantly."Eric." The name left his mouth through clenched teeth.His eyes never left the engagement ring."You don't sound very happy, nephew."Eric laughed. "I assume you've received my gift.""Where is Seren?"Rafael's voice was dangerously

    “You’re bleeding,” Seren said worriedly as she hurried toward Rafael and grabbed his injured arm carefully.She frowned deeply while staring at the blood staining his sleeve.“What do you think you are? Made of steel?” she scolded him softly. “We

    Rafael and Seren returned to the house in complete silence. Throughout the entire drive, Rafael did not say a single word. Even after they entered the mansion, the suffocating silence remained.Seren already knew he was furious, especially after what had happened earlier.As they walked toward the

    “We’re just going to stand here and watch?” Seren asked sharply. “Maybe you can, but I can’t.”She was about to step forward again when sudden screams erupted from the crowd.The noise spread through the underground circuit like wildfire, pulling

    “What kind of place is this?” Seren asked the moment they arrived at a closed-off highway.The area was filled with sports cars lined up one after another. Young men and women stood around, most of them clearly from wealthy families. The atmosphere was different, almost exclusi
