Seraphina arrived home, took a shower, and began preparing for the upcoming celebration. She made her way to the kitchen, where the maids were busy preparing various dishes.“Hey ladies, I’m here to help!” she exclaimed. The maids looked shocked, their eyes widening in surprise.“Yes, I am here to help. Hand me the knife, Freda,” she ordered, donning an apron and starting to chop fried sausages on the chopping board.She wanted to learn how to cook to impress Alexander one day.Her mother, Mrs. Vanessa, walked in and watched her daughter help the maids, a smile spreading across her face.Suddenly, a car horn sounded in the driveway. Mrs. Vanessa peeked out the window and saw a BMW pull up.“He must be one of my husband’s business partners,” she thought to herself.Mrs. Vanessa went downstairs to welcome him. Standing at the door, she waited for his arrival. The young man reached the gate and approached her. He removed his glasses and greeted her politely, and she returned the greeting
Ava sat in her dimly lit apartment, staring at the wall with a sinister smile playing on her lips. The thought of not being able to get Alexander makes her go crazy. She had once professed to change her ways, but the taste of revenge was too sweet to resist. The stakes were high, and she was ready to play her cards right.“Alexander is rich now,” Ava thought, twisting a strand of her hair around her finger. “If I can’t have him, then I’ll make sure no one does. Especially Seraphina.”She decided to carry out a plan, and that was to make sure Sera and Alexander were exposed in front of Sera's dad.She picked up her phone and began to text her friend who had been helping her with her plans.“I need a favor,” she typed, sending the message with a sense of anticipation. While she waited for a response, Ava's mind raced through possible strategies. She needed concrete evidence of Sera and Alex’s relationship—something irrefutable that she could present to Mr. Sterling. The challenge was ge
She went hurriedly upstairs to her room. She sat on her bed and started shedding tears. “ Who could have done this to me?” She asked herself.Her mother, who came back from shopping, entered the room to see her crying on her bed.“ What's wrong Sera?” “ Dad! Dad! He knows the truth now?” She sobbed.“What! How did that happen?” She asked.“ I don't know, Mom,” she replied.“ Don't worry, daughter, everything will be fine.” She left Sera's room and went to their room. She saw Mr Sterling walking around the room. “ Have you seen what your beloved daughter has done to us?” Mr Sterling approached his wife as soon as she entered the room.“ I know, she has chosen what her heart wants, dear. We can't force her”“ Are you supporting them, Vanessa?” He shouted and pointed his finger outside.“ I'm not supporting them, honey, but think about Sera's feelings. They're being hurt after all that you said to her. Forget about what had happened in the past and let love lead, honey” Mrs Vanessa exp
She called her secretary to come, and Seraphina and the secretary went out to meet the driver outside. Seraphina called the driver to come out of the car.“ I have an important all-girls meeting, and no man is allowed to be around us. I want my secretary to follow me there and be The one to guard me” “ But madam, your father said, I should not let you go out without me?” “ And I just explained the reason why you can't go with me. Just take this money and wait for me in the car. I'll take the secretary's car to the place” The driver could not protest Seraphina and her secretary entered the car and the secretary drove them to Alexander's company.“ I am in front of the company, babe; please come out. I'm in the white car outside” Seraphina went straight to the point as soon as Alexander answered the call.Alexander was surprised, he wasn't expecting Seraphina in the company. He got out and headed to the white car; he opened it and joined Seraphina in the back seat.They hugged each o
"Hello, Dad," Seraphina said, trying to sound calm."Where are you, Seraphina? Your driver said you're at an all-girls meeting," Mr. Sterling asked, his tone suspicious."I'm... uh... at Alexander's house, Dad," Seraphina replied, glancing at Alexander and his father.There was a pause on the other end."Where's Alexander?" Mr. Sterling demanded."He's... uh... right here, Dad," Seraphina said, feeling anxious."I'll come over there now," Mr. Sterling threatened."Don't worry, dear," Mr. Harrington intervened, taking the phone from Seraphina. "She's safe with us”.Mr. Sterling reluctantly agreed and hung up.Later that evening, Mr. Sterling arrived at the Harrington mansion, his expression stern."Alexander, I warned you to stay away from my daughter," Mr. Sterling said, his voice firm."I understand your concerns, sir, but Seraphina and I have something special. We want to be together," Alexander replied, holding Seraphina's hand.Mr. Sterling held Seraphina's hand and dragged her out
The room was silent, with Sera sitting quietly on her bed, waiting for a message from Alexander and Derrick standing there looking at Sera.“ I think your dad is right Sera. You must stay away from Alexander. His dad is a bad person and I think he is like his dad too” “ No! Derrick! Alexander is different and let me surprise you, his dad is a changed person and has accepted our relationship” Sera replied to him “ Oh really! I'm not surprised Sera. His dad accepted your relationship just to use you to destroy the company. Think about it, Seraphina. He came out of the oven and suddenly changed and accepted the enemy's daughter. They've got plans, Sera, they have got plans to carry out!” Derrick said as he walked up and down in Seraphina's room.“ They will never do that, Derrick” Sera defended them.“ You'll understand what I'm telling you later,” Derrick smiled.“ Get out of my room! I don't want to see you again!” Derrick left Seraphina's room and Seraphina locked herself up in the
Mr. Sterling was pacing back and forth in the house. When his old friend Ethan came out to visit him. They had exciting conversations about school then Mr Harrington came into their conversation. “ Where's Harrington now, the guy who fought with you because of your wife” Ethan asked.“ He's there in his house and his son wants to be with my daughter.He can never be my in-law. A family that has destroyed my company can never be part of my family” Mr Sterling answered furiously.“ You're Seraphina's father. You can dictate to her if she proves to be stubborn. Find a man for him, arrange marriage for them and force them to marry. This will keep Alexander away from your daughter and your family” Ethan suggested.“ Really! Are you sure this will work?” “ It will work only if you find a guy who will play his cards well and make Sera fall for him” Mr Sterling looked up thinking about what his friend said. “ I hear you, Ethan. I'm going to think about it” “ Think? Don't think about t
Mr. Sterling paces back and forth in the sitting room still worried about Sera's disappearance.Mrs. Vanessa sat on the couch that night also waiting for Seraphina. They've called her countless times but it wasn't going through.“ I'll always blame you, Vanessa. If you had not supported this girl. She would not have gone this far. Now she's nowhere to be found, and we can't reach her either.” Mr. Sterling yelled at his wife. “ Calm down, Sterling. She'll be here very soon”Mr. Sterling did not mind her and walked upstairs to their bedroom. Mrs Vanessa decided to wait for her daughter. The morning sun shines on them. It woke Sera, who was sleeping on Alex's chest on the bed sheet.She slowly woke up leaving Alex's chest bare. “ He looks very handsome,” she said as she stared at Alex. She gave him a peck and headed out to the kitchen.Seraphina saw Alex's mom in the kitchen preparing some breakfast. “ Good morning, Mom.” Seraphina greeted her.She responded that Sera wanted to help h
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
