“I don't think he's Alexander's father. Bearing the same surname doesn't make them family, and besides, if he was his father, he would have told me,” Seraphina told her. “Seraphina! I don't believe what you're saying. Just look at the resemblance. Look at the picture on the television and tell me he's not his father,” she yelled. “No, it can’t be true. Alexander would never keep something like this from me,” Sera replied, shaking her head with tears streaming down her face. “Seraphina, the evidence is right there. The resemblance is undeniable. You need to confront Alexander and get the truth.” “But what if it’s true? Why would Alexander hide his father's identity from me?” Seraphina asked, her voice breaking. “You need to talk to him. You deserve to know the truth, no matter how painful it might be,” she softened her tone. Seraphina was worried; she needed to find out the truth.

She heard a knock on her door and wiped her tears immediately. Her mom entered, asking about her day. “Mom, everything went well; we’re still preparing for our final exam,” she forced a smile, hiding her emotional turmoil. She did not want her mom to know that she had cried. “That’s good; your dad will soon win this battle, and then everything will come back to normal, okay?” her mom assured her, thinking she was still worried about the birthday wish. “Don’t w

What did you do again this time around?” his brother, Mr. Blackwood, asked, his voice filled with frustration.“Please, I don’t have time for your shouting. I have plans to carry out. Don’t disturb me,” Harrington replied curtly.“Plans again? Are you not fed up with all these revenge schemes, Harrington? When will you change this cold character?”Mr. Blackwood’s voice was stern, but there was a hint of concern.“I’ll stop when these stupid people stop taking what’s rightfully mine. But since they don’t want to stop, I will make sure they suffer in my hands,” Harrington ret
