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
Mr. Frederick told Derrick about this plan when he got home. “ No Dad! Seraphina is too stubborn to accept me as her husband. She is madly in love with that enemy, so how can I make her love me? Besides, I don't love her. I'm not even interested in being with any girl right now” he then walked straight to his room without allowing his father to explain things to him.It's been three days and Seraphina was still with Alexander in his mother's house. Mr. Sterling had been going to Mr Harrington to threaten him to bring Seraphina out of the house but even Mr Harrington had no idea where Seraphina was.Alex's mother became worried about Seraphina leaving her family to her house. She then told Seraphina to go home and sort things out with her parents, Alexander also supported his mother and then told her that she should go home.Seraphina became sad because she did not want to go to her house. “ Don't worry Seraphina, I'm going with you. I'm going to prove to your dad that we're meant t
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
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
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
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
