Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 409

The dinner that night was seemingly peaceful, a picture of harmony, until the facade crumbled.

Bowen gazed at Seraphina, his eyes an eerie abyss.

"Sera." He called her name softly, stating, "In all this, you've lost nothing. You've found your son again, from now on you can live happily. But you insist on getting involved, don't you?"

"Nice try, Bowen." Seraphina scoffed, retorting, "Who dragged me into this? And besides, do you really think our debts end with Valerio?"

Bowen paused, then nodded slowly, "You're right. If you insist on being part of this, then our debts are far bigger."

Seraphina just chuckled coldly.

Sandra - the debt she owed Bowen, and the debt he owed her.

It was time to settle the score.

"I can't wait to see your next move, Bowen," Seraphina said, "We'll see who comes out on top."

With that, Seraphina turned and walked back into the private room, leaving Bowen alone by the window, finishing his cigarette.

Because of Leandro and Seraphina's late arrival, the party ended later than usual. The guests were about to leave when an unexpected visitor burst into the room.

Tania frowned as she walked in, her face changing instantly when she saw the room full of escort women vying for the attention of the few men there.

"Bowen!" she cried out in exasperation, her voice filled with irritation.

From the back of the room, Seraphina couldn't help but laugh at Tania's outburst. In the silence of the room, her laughter was conspicuous. Tania turned to the source of the laughter and spotted Seraphina and Leandro, not knowing how to react.

If this party was inappropriate, what was Seraphina doing there?

She turned back to Bowen, but he was just sitting there, not even looking at her. Hanley, however, laughed and said, "Oh, Ms. Martin has come to pick up her fiancé. We better not disturb them, let's leave."

Everyone left except for Seraphina and Leandro, who were the last to leave.

As they walked past Tania, Seraphina paused, wanting to say something. But seeing the way Tania was looking at Bowen, she sighed and swallowed her words. Instead, she just smiled at Bowen and said, "Goodnight, Bowen. Sweet dreams."

Bowen just glanced at her and gave a nonchalant smile, "I'll take your good wishes."

Leandro said nothing, just helped Seraphina out of the room.

Once they were out of the room, Seraphina couldn't help but look back.

Leandro noticed her action but didn't turn back, just asking, "Why did you hold back?"

Seraphina laughed helplessly, "Because I know Tania wouldn't listen, no matter what I said. Women in love, they're often blinded... but it's rare to see someone as stubborn as her. Maybe it's not her fault, maybe Bowen is just too good at manipulation. He could be a lecturer on mind control."

Leandro didn't comment, just listened.

Seeing his attitude, Seraphina raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course, a man like Mr. Reynolds doesn't care about women. After all, there are too many women rushing to Mr. Reynolds." If I hadn't come tonight, the room would have been much more lively, wouldn't it?"
