At this point, Sera decided to play the call recording she had made with Alex to clarify that Alex was different.“ Oh my God! Alexander has the recorder now?” Mrs Vanessa shouted with surprise.“ Mom, talk in a low tone” Sera didn't want her dad to find out.“ Who is Alexander, and how did he get the recorder?” Both of them turned and saw Mr Sterling.“ Oh, he's Sera's friend. She reached out to him when she heard what we were discussing, and he's done his best to get it for us. He will bring it to Sera's school tomorrow” Mrs Vanessa lied.“ Oh okay. That's very kind of him. Thank him for me” Mr Sterling smiled and left the room.Sera sighed It was their final exam, and everyone had come fully prepared for the exam except Ava, who had come half-prepared for the exam and half-prepared for Sera's heartbreak.She had planned to separate Sera and Alex before they completed school.After school, Sera met Alexander at their usual place. He secretly placed the recorder in her bag. Seraphi
“ Tomorrow is graduation day. Alex's parents will be there. Sera's parents will be there. I think this is the right time for me to do something” Ava kept walking up and down in her room. She will sit on her bed, on the couch, lean on the wall, and do other kinds of things while thinking of what to do. Her maid kept knocking on her door, and she answered her at the last knock.She told her that she was not in the mood to talk to anyone, and the maid went away.Then she had an idea to call Frank, the guy she was dating for help.“ What do you want, Ava? You insulted me because of a guy who never loved you, and now you're calling me,” Frank shouted furiously.“ I'm sorry, Frank, but I need your help. I want you to help me expose Alexander to Sera's parents that he's the son of their enemy” “I can't do this; I thought you wanted us to come together again, not knowing you were still putting up these evil plans of yours that would never work. Count me out of this” Frank ended the call.Av
Ava's heart pounded as she ran, her mind racing with the masked person's words. She couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, even as she reached the safety of her home. She locked the door behind her and leaned against it, trying to catch her breath.Felix, still puzzled, decided to follow her. He knocked on her door gently. "Ava, it's Felix. Are you okay?"Ava hesitated, then opened the door slightly. "I'm fine, Felix. Just... a lot on my mind."Felix frowned. "You don't look fine. What happened?"Ava sighed, knowing she couldn't keep everything bottled up. "Someone threatened me. They know about my plans for Alex and Sera."Felix's eyes widened. "Who would do that?""I don't know," Ava admitted. "But they were right. I need to stop this. It's not worth it."Felix nodded, relieved to see Ava coming to her senses. "I'm glad you see that. Let's focus on moving forward."Meanwhile, Alex and Sera were enjoying a quiet moment together. They sat on a bench, holding hands and talking ab
Mr. Sterling's office buzzed with an unusual energy. With Mr. Blackwood now leading their legal charge, the staff felt a mix of skepticism and cautious optimism. Mr. Sterling, ever the strategist, knew this was their best chance to outmaneuver Harrington and his ally Sylvester.As the weeks passed, Mr. Blackwood’s rigorous preparation began to show results. His reputation as an unyielding lawyer preceded him, and the employees gradually warmed to his presence. Meetings grew more intense as they geared up for the impending court battle.One evening, Mr. Blackwood called for a confidential meeting with Mr. Sterling. "You told me about a recording of Harrington and his friend, Sylvester. Can I have that?" he asked.“Yes! Here's it” Mr Sterling handed the recorder over to him “ Good, I've found some discrepancies in Harrington's financial dealings," he said, spreading out some documents on the table."This could be our smoking gun."Mr. Sterling nodded, a glint of hope in his eyes. "Excel
Seraphina hurried out of the house, her heart racing. She could sense the tension in Alex’s voice and knew he needed her. The usual meeting spot was a secluded garden on the outskirts of town, a place where they often found solace amidst the chaos of their lives.When she arrived, she found Alex sitting on a bench, staring at the ground. He looked up as she approached, his eyes filled with turmoil. “Sera, I don’t know what to do. Everything is falling apart.”Sera sat beside him, taking his hand in hers. “We’ll figure it out, Alex. Together. Your father and my father need to resolve their issues, but that doesn’t mean we can’t stand strong.”Back in his office, Mr. Sterling reviewed the court documents, ensuring every detail was in order. Mr. Harrington’s threats echoed in his mind, but he was determined to protect his company and his family. Mr. Blackwood, ever vigilant, devised strategies to counter any moves Harrington might make from prison.Days passed, and the tension between th
As they entered, Alex and Sera held their hands together exchanging glances with smiles all over their faces. Ava, with Jason by her side, kept a close eye on them, her guilt mounting with every passing moment.The mysterious figure, concealed in the shadows, watched the scene unfold with satisfaction. He was ready to set the next phase of his plan in motion.At a crucial moment, Jason approached Sera with a charming smile. "Hey Sera, would you like to dance?"Ava was looking at them, hoping that Sera would accept Jason's quest. The masked lady who kidnapped Ava held Ava's hand and dragged her to a secluded place.“ So the warnings I gave you fell on deaf ears, right? I'm warning you, do not do anything stupid, or else today will be your last day on this earth,” the masked lady threatened her.“ Get your hands off me, you fool; I'm not afraid of you. I have everything planned out, and you can not do anything to stop that,” Ava retorted and left the place.Sera caught off guard, glan
The masked lady stepped forward, removing her hood and mask. Her identity left Alex and Sera in shock. It was Amber, the girl who had harbored feelings for him some months ago.“Amber?” What are you doing here?” Alex asked, bewildered.Amber sighed her expression with a mix of regret and determination. “I loved you once, Alex. I thought I could win you over, but I realized that your heart belongs to Sera. When I saw Ava trying to manipulate you, I couldn’t stand by and let it happen. I tried to warn her, but she wouldn’t listen.”Sera looked at Amber, understanding dawning in her eyes. “You’ve been trying to stop all of this?”Amber nodded. “Yes. I thought if I could show Ava the error of her ways, we could prevent all this pain and drama. But she was too deep in her plans.”Alex, still confused, said, “ But she told us that she's a changed person?” Amber answered, “She was, but something changed her mind again. Sera loves you so much, she's been faithful in your relationship, you kn
“ What does he want to tell me?” Sera thought. She didn't want her father to see both of them together.Mr. Sterling and his business partner, Mr Frederick met outside to discuss important things concerning their companies and their lives. Sera got to the door; she was about to go out when she saw that her dad and his friend were standing right behind Alexander.“ I guess Alexander doesn't know that they're standing there,” she thought. She went back inside and texted her that her dad was standing right behind him.He turned and saw him. He decided to stand up.They saw him standing up and Mr Sterling called out to him. His heart skipped a beat when Mr Sterling called.“ Hey son, what's your name?” Alexander was quiet a little bit and broke the silence, “ I am Alexander sir” “ I know Mr Blackwood doesn't have a son, so how did you become his son?” Mr Frederick asked with curiosity evident in his face.“ I-i- I'm his son, Sir.” Alexander didn't want to spill out the truth. He aske
They hugged Sera's parents and went to hug Alex's parents too. “ I knew that there would be a day that I'd openly and officially call Seraphina, my in-law, and today is the day. Thank you so much for being by Alex's side, my in-law” Alex's mom hugged Seraphina again. “You never supported me in my evil plans. You've taught me the true meaning of love. I'm proud of you, son.” Mr Harrington hugged his son. “ Thank you, Dad,” he replied. After the marriage, a celebration went on at the mansion. One day, Mr. Alexander Harrington called his staff and had a meeting with them. “ I'm glad to have you all here. We're going to work as a team, no business feud, no family feud. I called you here to tell you the new name of this company. My wife, Mrs Seraphina Harrington, and I have decided to change the name of this company to Selex Jewelry Company. We have two companies, the Glimmering Visions company and the Radiant Treasures. But now both of them will have the same name and that is Sele
Seraphina looked at her dad and went to hug him. “Wow, Dad, thank you so much, Dad.”“ Thank you so much, Dad,” Alexander shook his hand.She also went to hug her mom. “You've been the best mother every child would want to have. Thank you for supporting us from the beginning. I love both of you so much”“ We love you too Sera,” her mom replied.Things went well for Alexander and Seraphina. Both of them collaborated on anything about their business. They had many customers and were getting more money. One morning, Alexander was preparing for work and found Seraphina still in bed. He went to kiss her, “Hey love, won't you go to work today?” He held her hand and felt some heat on her body.“ You're feeling hot, what's wrong?” Alexander asked with concern. “ I'm not feeling well Alexander” “ Oh, let me take you to the hospital right now.” he held her hand, took her to the car, and drove to the hospital.“ Doctor, what's wrong with her?” Alexander met the doctor when he came out of Ser
“ Dad please, do you approve of this relationship or you still want your daughter to be with a guy who will torture her, take her business and make her a house wife?” She went to hold her dad's hand and looked into his eyes. Her dad hugged, “ I'm sorry Seraphina, sorry for keeping this feud in my heart and forgetting that I had a daughter to protect. I thought I was doing the best for you but I was wrong. Alexander is the perfect man to be with. He loves you, he cared for you, he put you first before his family. Even in pain he still wanted to see you and be with you. I approve of your relationship”Everyone clapped as soon as he finished talking then silent again. “ Vanessa I'm sorry for not understanding you. You're really a mother. Both of us will bless their marriage and they will live happily ever after. Now you Derrick, turn right and meet the police approaching you. You attempted to kill someone and destroy someone's life. Get out of here” Derrick shamefully walked towards th
“ What's wrong Sir, please tell me have you heard anything about him?” “ Stand up, hurry up. Follow me” Mr Harrington said and left the house while Amber followed up.They got to the warehouse and saw Alexander being beaten to the extent that he could not move. “ Alexander! Alexander!” Amber shouted.“ Amber,” he answered in a low tone. “ Thank God, you're alive.”“ Seraphina! Where is she? I have to go and prove to her that I love her” “ Seraphina is fine Alexander, she's doing her best to get the engagement canceled” Amber replied as they picked him up from the floor and took him into Mr Harrington's car.In the car, Alexander kept mentioning that he had to go to Seraphina's house. “ You're dying because of this girl Alex and you still want to be with her”his dad said as he drove the car.“ Yes dad, take me there. Amber I hope you still have the evidence? I have mine on my phone, where's my phone”“ You're weak Alexander, go to the hospital and get healed before we go with our
After the breakfast, her father,mother and Derrick's mother left both of them at the living room. Derrick did all that he could to get Seraphina's attention but she was absent-minded.Alexander and Ava arrived at Seraphina's house. Ava was determined to make Seraphina believe they were together.“Alexander? Ava? What are you doing here?” Seraphina asked as soon as she saw them, her voice filled with confusion and a hint of worry.“ Oh! Poor Seraphina, see how red your eyes have been. I guess you're still dreaming about Alexander marrying you. You better wake up from your dream because he's going to be mine very soon or let me say he's mine already” Ava said mockingly.Derrick’s face lit up with a smirk, but Seraphina’s eyes filled with tears. “Is this true, Alexander? After everything we’ve been through?”Before Alexander could respond, the door swung open, and Amber burst into the room. “Wait! Seraphina, you need to hear the truth.”Everyone turned to face Amber, stunned by her sudde
The day before the engagement, as Derrick's mother and the maids kept preparing for the engagement, Mrs Vanessa, still in an angry mood, did not want to help them because she didn't succumb to her husband's decision to get her daughter and Derrick engaged.Seraphina was also thinking about Alexander. He had not been calling her or texting her and she felt something was wrong. She was feeling uneasy and she missed Alexander so much and wanted to see him. All that she could do was to shed tears.Ava was very excited to go to Seraphina's house to tell her the news about her and Alexander's relationship.“ Can we go Alexander, I can't wait to see the tears in Seraphina's eyes today” she said as she hurriedly went to open the front door of Alexander's car and sat in the front seat. Alexander watched her with a frowned face. Then he got a call from Amber, he walked to a far away place to prevent Ava from hearing them.“ Go with her, Alexander.” Amber said.Alexander sighed deeply and went
Seraphina had been in her room shedding tears and watching the video on her phone for some days. She was heartbreaking, ignoring Alexander's calls. She did not want to talk to him again, she only welcomed her mom and sometimes Derrick in her room.Derrick tried his best to be beside Seraphina, to make Seraphina feel loved and happy. “ Hey Sera, will you stop crying already? You've been crying for three days now. When will you forget this guy and move on with me? I'm going to make you happy, I'll not cheat on you just like Alexander has done.” His eyes locked unto hers as he said those words to her.“ Let me confess something to you. You know, when my dad told me about asking your hand in marriage, I didn't want to, but I saw something in you that attracted me; you're beautiful, caring, and loving. Alexander is not worth your tears Sera. It's high time you dry out those tears and move on with your life. I'll be there for you no matter what happens” he professed his love to her.Seraph
Ava, who stood at the door of the company, watched everything and walked majestically to Alexander. She moved her hand on his chest, “She's now gone forever; you're mine now.” She whispered these words into his ears.Alexander removed her hands from his chest with anger and walked past her to the company. He wanted to go to Seraphina's office to explain everything to her.“ I'm not done with you yet, Alexander; now I have someone who has the same mission as mine to support me in this.” She smirked and left the company.Seraphina drove off to Amber's house. She hurriedly went to hug her and cried uncontrollably. “ What's wrong Seraphina? Why are you crying this way? Is it about your arranged marriage?” Amber asked her questions confused about her reactions.“ I wouldn't have cried harder if it was about the arranged marriage because I knew Alexander would have sorted things out, but now that I know the truth, my tears are even more,” she sobbed.“ You're confusing me, Sera; what's the
As Seraphina and her mom arrived home, tension filled the air. Mr. Sterling was sitting on the couch. His face was set in a stormy expression as he confronted her."Seraphina," he began, his voice hard and unyielding, "I've arranged a marriage for you with Derrick. From now on, I don't want to see Alexander anywhere near you."Seraphina felt a cold shock wash over her. Her heart pounded wildly in her chest as she tried to process her father's words. She couldn't believe he would do something like this. "No, Dad," she replied, her voice trembling but resolute. "I don't love Derrick. I love Alexander, and nothing you say or do will change that."Mr. Sterling's eyes narrowed, his fury barely contained. "You will do as I say, Seraphina. This is for your good. Derrick is the one for you. Alexander will not help you, his father is our enemy."Tears welled up in Seraphina's eyes as she shook her head. "You can't force me into a marriage I don't want. I won't be happy with Derrick, and you k
