Claiming The Rival CEO's Daughter Chapter 10
With a round of applause, Mr. Harrington stood up, a confident smile playing on his lips. He approached the stage and delivered his speech with poise. Meanwhile, Seraphina’s father, Mr. Sterling, quietly excused himself from the event. The media, ever eager for a story, swarmed around him. “Mr. Sterling, you’ve won this award fifteen times, but not today. Is it true that your company’s quality has declined?” a journalist asked, their microphones thrust forward. Mr. Sterling, maintaining his composure, chose not to respond and continued walking. Back at the hotel, Mr. Sterling entered his room, his face a mask of controlled anger. He clenched his fists, taking a deep breath to steady himself. The thoughts of Mr. Harrington’s unexpected victory swirled in his mind. “Is this some kind of vendetta?” he muttered to himself. “If Harrington is behind the issues plaguing my company, he will regret it. I will ensure that.” Determined not to wait until morning, he packed his belongings and h

Sera told him that she can't go but Alex told Ava to convince her to accept his offer. Ava tried to convince Seraphina and she agreed to go out with him. Seraphina went home after school. After preparing for the date with Alexander, she told her mom that she's going out. Her mom told her to come back early and she headed out of the hall. Her driver was waiting for her outside, so she went out and entered her car. On her way, she got a message from Alexander telling her about the location. She told the driver to take me to Idyllic Jekyll Island. They got there and she saw Alex's car packed there already. She entered the restaurant and saw him sitting at a table for two at the far end where no one was there. “ Good to see you,” he said while giving me a warm hug. He pulled the chair for me to sit on. “ I'll always say this Alex, your girlfriend will be a lucky woman. Sorry for keeping you waiting” she chuckled softly. “ What if you become my girlfriend?” He asked with a broad s

When Mr Sterling closed from work that day, he went to the security's place to tell him to carry out some plan. He told him to hide inside his room tonight at the exact time they came the other day. He should get his phone ready when he sees them getting inside. He should make sure he gets a video of them for evidence. The security told him that he'll do as instructed. Sera's dad went home to rest, and he was very sure that he'd find the culprit. Alexander and Seraphina have been having a great day in school. When school closed, Ava wanted to go home with Sera in her car but Sera didn't bring her car. “ Did you walk to school?” Ava was surprised. “ No, Alexander came to pick me up at home,” She was smiling. “ Really! Has it been an everyday thing? Because I remember him taking us home the other day, too,” she asked. “ He's my friend and I feel okay when he keeps me company,” Sera explained. “ I think Alex is snatching my friend from me already or is someone falling in l

“Honey, what's wrong? Have you heard any bad news,” Mrs Vanessa asked her husband as she saw his frown face. “ I just found out the evidence, I have to go to the office and find out who sent them,” he told his wife as he took his back and headed out of the house. He drove to his office. He went to the CCTV immediately. He saw the videos of the gangs. Told the workers to retrieve it onto a pen drive and bring it to him as soon as possible. He went back to his office, sat down, and started doing some research on Mr Harrington's company. He found the pictures of the staff on their website. He watched it well to find out whether any of the gangs were among them. He saw a similar face in the video his security sent him; he then took his phone and saw that one of them was a member of Mr Harrington's company. He searched for his position there and saw that he was the personal assistant of Mr Harrington. “ I knew it! These people are behind the downfall of my company. I am goin

Seraphina was taken aback by Alexander’s unexpected proposal. Despite her surprise, a wave of happiness washed over her. “Seraphina!” Alexander’s voice pulled her back from her thoughts. “Yes, Alexander,” she replied, her voice steady but her heart racing. He gently took her right hand and placed it on the table. “Will you be my girlfriend and, if possible, my wife in the future?” “Really?” Her eyes widened in astonishment, her left hand covering her mouth. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach, and she felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. Seraphina felt like she was on top of the world. What she had longed for was now right in front of her. She loved Alexander, just as Ava had always said, but expressing her feelings had always been difficult. “Please don’t say no,” Alexander pleaded, still holding her hand. In her mind, Seraphina knew her answer. She had waited for this moment, for the chance to start a new chapter in their lives together. A chapter that would bring them e

Days and weeks passed, and Seraphina and Alexander continued to draw the attention of their fellow students. Their bond was evident to everyone, and they made sure to support each other no matter what challenges came their way. One afternoon, as Seraphina was walking through the crowded hallway, she unintentionally bumped into a girl. This girl, she had heard, had been crushing on Alexander long before Seraphina arrived at the school. Rumor had it that she despised Seraphina and wished she had never come. “Hey, you fool, have you lost your mind?” the girl fumed, pointing to her head to emphasize her point. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you,” Seraphina apologized sincerely. “Sorry for yourself, you boyfriend snatcher,” the girl spat back. “Boyfriend snatcher? Did I ever snatch your boyfriend from you?” Seraphina asked, genuinely confused. “Don’t ask me stupid questions when you know what you’ve done already. I don’t have time for people like you,” the girl retorted before walk

“Amber!” Alexander called out, tapping her shoulder as she stood in the school cafeteria. “Hey babe,” she responded, reaching out to touch him. Alexander stepped back, his eyes blazing with anger. “Don’t touch me. How dare you? Who gave you the audacity to stand in front of my beautiful girlfriend and insult her?” he demanded, his voice firm and controlled. “Oh, so you’re yelling at your babe because of this boyfriend snatcher?” Amber retorted, her tone dripping with sarcasm. Without warning, Alexander slapped her. “Never use that word to describe my girlfriend again, or you’ll get more than this,” he warned, his voice low and menacing. Amber’s eyes filled with tears as she cried out, “I hate you, Alexander,” before storming off. The cafeteria fell silent, students staring in shock and whispering among themselves. They couldn’t believe Alexander had stood up for his girlfriend so fiercely. It was something he had never done before. “Wow, this girl has totally changed Alex

Seraphina saw Alexander’s text message saying he was going to have dinner. Coincidentally, she was also heading to the dining table. As she joined her parents, they noticed her smiling at her phone. “Hey, young lady, stop that and join us here,” her mom called, bringing her back from her messaging world. “Good evening, Dad and Mom,” Seraphina greeted them warmly. “Good evening, my beautiful princess. Happy birthday in advance, my girl,” her dad replied with a smile. “Dad, my birthday is in a month, so why the early wish?” she asked, amused. “I just wanted to wish you early. Don’t mind me, eat your food, dear,” he answered, chuckling. After dinner, her parents went to their room, and Seraphina returned to her chats with Alexander. They talked and laughed late into the night. “Okay, then, good night. We shall meet,” Alexander bid her goodbye and ended the call. Seraphina lay back, reflecting on her feelings. “I’ve never felt like this in my life before. Why didn’t I know that lov
