Lucien's POV
I'd been busy these days with back-to-back meetings in different cities, and even different countries.
But no matter how far I went, one name never left my mind.
Seraphina.
Was she eating properly? Was someone messing with her again? Was she still hurting, or was someone bullying her?
Those thoughts clung to me like a damn curse.
If I weren't drowning in work, I would've gone to see her with my own eyes. But fate had its ways… and I wasn't the type to sit around hoping.
When I got word that Asher had fired all the staff and started hiring new ones, I didn't waste a second.
I planted a few of my own people inside the Lancaster mansion who were my trusted ones, and loyal to me, but their eyes were only on her.
They updated me on everything—her routines, if she was eating, how she looked, what she said.
Call it spying if you want. But I didn't do it to invade her life.
