Inherit Billions

Remarriage

Seraphina froze.

One hand braced against the door, and she turned to look at him.

There was a faint, almost imperceptible bitterness in his smile..

Finished

"Fine, I won't mention remarriage again, but do you have to avoid me like I'm some kind of plague? Didn't you say everything in the past is just that-past? So can't we just be friends?" Seraphina glanced at him, her brows furrowing slightly

Her subtle expression change didn't escape Orion's keen gaze.

He kept his smile calm and open, though every trace of emotion in his eyes was hidden.

Seraphina's lips twitched. I would have slammed the door and left if he hadn't saved my life. Haha.

What exactly is Orion up to?

Orion looked away, his fingers gently tapping the steering wheel.

"Since I saved your life, there's a movie I invested in that premieres today. How about showing some support and watching it with me-as normal friends, of course?" He nearly gritted his teeth, saying those last four words,

Seraphina studied Orion's expression. As long as he didn't bring up feelings, reconciliation, or any of that nonsense, they might manage to coexist peacefully. She wasn't someone to hold grudges unnecessarily-after all, he did save her life.

"Fine."

She decidedly sat back in the car, staring straight ahead like someone marching toward their fate.

Seraphina's gown immediately drew attention at the cinema. She was stunning, as if a celebrity had arrived at a red carpet event.

Before long, a suit was draped over her shoulders, shielding her from the curious and admiring gazes.

"Don't take it off, unless you want to make headlines tomorrow."

With her flamboyant attire, it was only a matter of time before someone recognized her. The suit might help her keep a lower profile. Seraphina retraced her hand, which was halfway through removing the suit. She raised an eyebrow.

"Alright then, Mr. Dros. Which movie did you invest in!"

She looked around, noticing that there were no new releases listed for today's films.

Orion is lying again. He didn't even bother with the details.

Remarriage

He cast a casual glance at the listings, his tone nonchalant.

"Doesn't matter. I've invested in all of these films."

Seraphina was speechless.

Finished

Orion walked to the counter. His striking features quickly caught the attention of the staff. The cashier blushed as she suggested a couple of rom com.

He barely hesitated, choosing the one with the earliest showing time.

Turning his head, he noticed the young couples around him cuddling, each with a huge bucket of popcorn and soda. His brow furrowed slightly.

Seraphina, meanwhile, leaned on her hand, bored, playing on her phone.

She scrolled through her group chat, where Olivia and Sarah were discussing plans for a skiing trip. The idea sounded fun, and she was tempted to join them.

If they found out she was at the movies with Orion, their jaws would hit the floor.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Just then, a university-aged guy with a flushed face approached.

"Excuse me, are you from Eldoria Institute of Technology? Which school are you from?"

Seraphina was stunned. Oh right, this cinema was near the university.

The guy's question made her feel unexpectedly flattered.

L

Before she could respond, the guy held out his phone eagerly.

"Could I get your number? We're casting for a lead role in a play, and you'd be perfect for the lead."

Seraphina smiled at him. Her eyes twinkling in delight

The young man was momentarily mesmerized by her smile. He didn't notice the imposing figure approaching from behind.

A hand landed possessively on the back of her chair, the owner's gaze cold as ice as he stared down at the

student.

His voice was calm yet chilling, the cool authority of it pressing in on the young man.

"What did you say?"

His presence was regal and commanding. The watch on his wrist-a Patek Philippe-was enough to show the stark difference between them, a symbol of wealth that most could only dream of He didn't have to say a word for it to be clear-this was no ordinary man..

The light in the young man's eyes dimmed; his complexion turned pale. He awkwardly retracted his phone.

Remarriage

Mumbling an apology, he hurried away, fleeing the scetic.

Seraphina watched the student leave with a hint of regiet, her smile fading.
