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
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
“ 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
“ 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
Her Parents were the most respected individuals in the city. They owned Radiant Treasures, the largest and most prestigious jewelry company around. People from all over, even from other cities, came to purchase our exquisite pieces. Seraphina Sterling was the only daughter of the renowned business tycoons, Mr. Sterling and his elegant wife, Mrs. Vanessa Hudgens. Her life was a tapestry of luxury and indulgence. She never lacked anything. Their home was staffed with numerous maids, always at her beck and call. “How can I walk to the mall, Mom? A beautiful princess like me needs a ride. Tell Dad to get me a cute car, or I’ll starve myself to death!” She declared dramatically at dinner one night. “Oh, my baby girl, you know we love you and will do anything to make you happy. Don’t worry, you’ll get your car as soon as your father returns from his business trip,” her mom reassured her, patting my hand. Despite their wealth, she wasn’t allowed to take any of the cars out without her
