Chapter 75: A Villainess Tries Again (And Fails Again)
Seraphina wasn't giving up.
Lucien might have won this round, but she was a villainess, damn it.
She would rise again.

Step 4: The Infamous 'Ignore Him Until He Cracks' Plan
Seraphina sat at breakfast.
Lucien sat across from her, looking as smug as ever.
She ignored him.
Lucien stirred his tea.
"Still pretending I don't exist, love?"
Seraphina sipped her tea elegantly.
Lucien smirked.
"Should I kiss you to get a reaction?"
Seraphina almost choked.
Lila, who was watching, whispered, "Damn, that was effective."

Step 5: Operation 'Make Him Jealous' (Again)
Seraphina had learned from her last mistake.
This time, she wouldn't target Damian.
She needed someone Lucien actually considered a threat.
Her gaze landed on Alec Ravenswood.
Tall. Handsome. Dangerous.
Lucien's rival.
Perfect.
Seraphina smiled sweetly.
"Alec~ Would you like to take a walk with me?"
Alec raised an eyebrow.
"…Why?"
Lucien's spoon snapped in half.
Lila whispered, "Oof. That escalated fast."

Step 6: Run for Your Life (Again)
Lucien stood up.
Alec, sensing danger, took a step back.
"Seraphina, you're on your own."
Seraphina panicked.
"TRAITOR!"
She turned to run—
Lucien caught her wrist.
"Oh no, darling. You're not escaping."
Seraphina gulped.
"L-Lucien, be reasonable—"
Lucien leaned in, voice dangerously low.
"Did you really think I'd let you flirt with another man?"
Seraphina regretted everything.

Lucien: 7, Seraphina: 0
Lucien smirked, pulling her into his lap.
"Next time you try to make me jealous, love, pick someone braver."
Seraphina pouted.
"One day, I'll win."
Lucien chuckled.
"And I'll be waiting, darling."
Seraphina wasn't done yet.
This war was far from over.
