Good Girl Gone Bad: Queen Of The Underworld - Chapter 369
When Dragon abruptly stopped her from finishing her sentence, ripples of emotion that turned into enormous tidal waves shook her unsettled heart. His warmth, longing, and deep d_e_s_i_r_e that was bottled inside him all shoved in his kiss. The last thread that’s was locking up her heart that kept Dragon from entering snapped — like it was cut by a sharp scissor.
‘You… are the more stubborn than I am.’ Seraphina faintly thought inwardly before she closed her eyes and respond to his kiss. To her, that was the last shred of mercy he could to him as she will drag him even more to the pits of hell that Dragon had never seen.
Given that Dragon was the head of the triad and Seraphina didn’t know why and how he ended up being a felon like this, for her, being tangled with a person like Luciano is much heavier and more dangerous than he thought it was.
After all, Luciano had been in the underground world for decades and his experienced surpassed Dragon — even hers. They could be considered toddlers compare to Luciano. Moreover, the old Luciano came from the generation where mafias were more active, more dauntless, and controls half of the government.
Compare to today’s already dangerous people in the underground world, the old Luciano had more veteran connections that gained more influence with the government and Mafia Dons. Hence, Seraphina gives more thought to her every move. Risk? She does take risk but, she only take risks that she was sure she’d win.
But now, this risk she was about to take… will she make it alive? Is it really possible for two too flawed people to have this kind of relationship? More importantly, do they deserve this happiness regardless of how tainted their hands by blood?
She doesn’t know. She was uncertain but if it’s him… damn, Seraphina really had lost her mind for this reckless and unexpected decision.
The seemingly long kissed came to a stop when Dragon reluctantly parted his lips away from her. Seeing Seraphina catch up on her breathing, a touch of gentleness showed on his eyes. He felt it. Her consent and respond to his love or near that.
She doesn’t need to say anything as that alone was enough to fill his heart. He won’t ask for more or more of her. Just being with her, that’s enough for him and maybe flirt every once in a while.
Biting his lower lips, Dragon grinned into a bright smile. It was more bright than ever before as if he could blind someone from it. “Well, you can’t say it, do you? What can I do? I know you love me and could never live without me.” Dragon teased which was exactly what he actually should say to himself.
Seeing his broad back and Dragon cleaning up the table, a subtle smile formed on the corner of her lips. Her perception of Dragon now wasn’t the same as Dragon two years back. After all, he has never done this before. Him, degrading himself like this just to persuade her comrades and get their approval — Seraphina must say she was slightly touched.
“That’s low, cheater.” Seraphina heedlessly commented and resumed on her stride towards the exit.
“hehe, I could go lower but I’m not a chea –” His hands halted from cleaning up the table as he protested. Alas, just as he thought about the word ‘cheater’ he was quite uncertain. Was she referring to what he did moments ago or that thing with Marga?
Recalling his infidelity that he could never undo, Dragon’s gritted his teeth. Aside from letting Seraphina slipped from his grasp two years ago, he never regretted anything. Not until he f*cked Marga and didn’t kill her even though she audaciously put a love drug on his drink.
“F*CK!!!!” He slammed his fist on the surface of the table. Now, not only the dining utensils stumbled, they were shattered as other glasses and plates were threw off on the concrete floor caused by the powerful impact of Dragon’s fist.

Hearing the distressed screamed of Dragon, Seraphina chuckled as she made her way on the underground bas_e_m_e_nt where X’s stayed — like a vampire who doesn’t even see the day.
Actually, Seraphina really didn’t mind about the affair of Marga and Dragon. After all, it happened when they weren’t together and when she was actually targetting to take his life. Hence, how dare she, if she dwells about it if, in the first place, she hated him unjustly; just because she had a so-so reliable memory of the upcoming events and assumed that he was the root cause of everything that happened.
What’s important was he accepted his mistake and was willing to take responsibility. No matter how long he needs to wait or how uncertain he was if she would forgive him or not, that was enough for her. She doesn’t want to ask for more.
“Boss, in three days, Alex was invited by that David Ong.” The moment Seraphina entered the underground bas_e_m_e_nt slash control room, X reported as he spun his executive chair towards the entrance where Seraphina most likely to enter.
Raising her brows, Seraphina sat on the chair next to X. Leaning her back on the comfortable recliner chair, Seraphina rest her eyes with a satisfied smile.
“Hmmm. I bet Wren was relieved to have someone as his relief.” She mumbled, pleased by Alexander Han’s usefulness.
