"Mr Grayson's car has reached here. Make sure everything seems perfect in front him, " Everyone tensed up and turned alerted.
The guards nodded and then turned around only to find that fragile little girl still standing there helplessly .
"Leave right now. Our boss is coming, "The guard's voice was laced with threats which made her chest tighten in fear but she still didn't give up.
" Please, let me meet… "
"Jace, throw this girl out before Mr Grayson reaches here, " One of the guards said glaring at Seraphina, making her teared up more badly at his choice of words for her.
But the worst had started when the guard grabbed her petite arm, making her gasp and he started dragging her out from that place.
Seraphina made no efforts to stop him because that helpless girl was crying her heart out ,enduring that humiliation which she had never felt in her life before.
Her eyes were tightly shut but tears didn't stop and then she finally felt the guard pushing her slightly but her body was too frail to even bear that slight push.
She fell on the ground on her knees and pressed her palms on the ground in order to stop her head from getting banged against it. Her head got lowered, her open hairs fell all over her face whereas she hissed when her bare knees grazed against the hard floor.
Her silent crying turned into soft sobs. She didn't even dare to take her head upward and even lost her strength to stand, until her lowered eyes fell on that matte black pair of shining leather shoes which were in front of her.
"Mr Grayson, "
Her ears got penetrated with that name which that guard had taken but Seraphina was too messed up to look upward towards the owner of that name.
"Good morning, Mr Grayson. Sorry for the inconvenience but this girl was trying to enter into the premises without any legal ID proof card of the company, " The guard uttered while bowing his head in front of that masculine predacious figure.
Seraphina ,who had her eyes still downcast , witnessed those shoes to slightly turn around and stepped away from her eyesight.
Those steps started side-passing her but in her desperation of reaching her brother , Seraphina did that most debarred thing of her life, that thing which had shoved her existence in that forbidden path of her fate.
She took out her hand and clutched that palm and the very moment, her tender touch came in contact with the roughness of that palm, her innocuous soul had started belonging to that soulless sinner.
"P.. Please let me g.. go inside, "
Her melodiously shivering voice pierced the cavernous extent of his ears.
Her tiny palms were unable to clutch his huge hand in one grip but her gentle hold tightened around his hand.
"Pl… please, s…sir."
Her ethereally soft touch and endearingly gentle voice had tempted that rapacious predator to turn around and look at the owner of that alluring tenderness.
And the very second, those shimmering azure eyes which were shining with tears and were lacing with nothing, except that sinless virtuosity came in contact with those certain pairs of eyes which were shielded with dark black glasses, had shivered the deepest depth of destiny.
Seraphina, unknown to that deadly havoc which she had welcomed for herself, gripped his hand more firmly and slowly got up on her feet.
Her tiny fragile body was nothing as compared to the owner of that voraciously beasty body who was in front of her.
And everyone got stunned by watching that little girl calling for her own destruction because all of them knew what she had actually done by stopping him but it was only her who didn't know what forbidden deed she had performed.
That guard, who had pushed her on the floor, immediately walked towards them. He spoke while trying to touch her.
"We're sorry, Mr Grayson. She is… . " But before that guard could have touched her, his hand got halted in the middle by another palm and that guard hissed, feeling that painful grip around his wrist of that hand, whose owner's head was still towards her but the abruptness of his grip had made one thing really very clear for that guard to understand 'dare not to even touch her'
Everyone got startled at his sudden action whereas Seraphina, who was crying like a little afraid kid, was too vulnerable to understand anything.
Her pale cheeks had turned pink. The tip of her nose had turned red, making her silverish nosepin to shine more enchantingly. Her extremely petite body was quivering badly. Her lusciously plumpy lips had glistened with her own tears and proud of her beauty, those azure orbs were gleaming because of her shiny tears.
"Seraphina, "
That tempting trance got broken down when she turned her eyes away from him after hearing that voice and he noticed her beautiful oceanic blue eyes gleam up with calmness by watching the owner of that voice.
"Nate, " She spoke and then broke that sinful haze of his by leaving his hand.
Seraphina ran towards her brother who also dashed towards her. She hugged Nathan tightly, as tightly as possible and buried herself into his body, like she was trying to hide herself from the outside world.
Her slow sobbing turned into loud whimpers. She snuggled her head more into chest and Nathan's heart ached by feeling her trembling so badly, which was indicating how afraid she was.
And those eyes were still staring at her quivering back from behind his black shades.
"Sephi, stop crying, my angel. Please don't cry, " Nathan cooed in her ear while sliding his hand on her back and head to calm her down.
"Please don't cry and what are you doing here? " Nathan again asked her in his soft voice.
Seraphina, who had her face still buried in his chest, and was still crying, had no intention of looking at the people around her because for her, they were like a bad dream but the thing she didn't know was, her darkest nightmare was still gazing at her keenly.
"Seraphina, look at me angel, please, " Nathan tried to take out her face but she shrugged her head and denied him.
"I….I want to go home , " She slowly murmured but loud enough for her brother to hear.
So Nathan, without even thinking for once, he caged her protectively and asked
"Can you walk? "
She just nodded and clutched his arm tightly and Nathan took her out from that place, ignoring each and everyone and everything because for him, his little sister was his first and only priority.
That covered gaze continued to gaze at her each and every movement, until her fragile frame completely vanished from his eyesight but not from his cunning barbarous mind.
_________
"She's fine and sleeping now, " Nathan answered on his phone to one of his Workmate.
"Thank god, she's fine, Nathan but I am worried about you now, "
A deep sigh escaped from Nathan's mouth hearing those words.
"What happened today at our company's gate, Mr Grayson were present there and then you left with Seraphina without even notifying anyone. I am worried about your work now because we both know how strict the rules and regulations of Grayson Corporation's are and Seraphina has broken them today by coming there, especially in front of that person who has made these rules, "
Nathan rubbed his forehead with his hand and again exhaled a heavy breath. He turned around and then his eyes fell on her peacefully sleeping face because he was standing at her room's door.
"I don't know what the future has stored, Dale but I know for sure that I won't let that to effect on my Seraphina, at any cost. "
But only if he knew what the future had really stored for his little sister and what game of insanity her fate had started playing.
"Her name is Seraphina Aries Miller, "
The corner of his lips stretched into a sinful grin after hearing that beautifully virtuous name.
"She's going to be 19 within 2 months. She is a student and has no one in this world, except her brother Nathan Aron Miller ,who is working in your company from the past 5 years, "
The informer completed narrating his information and then placed her photograph on the his desk, in front of him.
"It's her picture which you have asked for, boss, "
His gaze trailed from the blank wall and then snapped towards the desk where her photo was placed. He stretched his arm and took her picture in his hold and the very second, his soul shivering icy grey eyes met with those warmly beautiful azure eyes of her again in that picture , his sinful grin turned more wicked, whereas his soul piercing grey orbs filled with the deadly darkness of sadism by watching her alluringly innocuous smile .
His thumb pat on its own, got grazed over her lips and his mouth took her name, like a thirsty had begged for water, a lifeless body had pleaded for a soul, a sinner had desired for heaven.
"Seraphina Aries Miller, "
"Good evening, Mr Grayson, " Each and every guard bowed to him as they saw him getting out of his luxurious car and straight walking towards his huge villa , completely ignoring the greetings he had received on his way. He stepped inside his villa and every single staff member present inside turned alerted. They all lowered their gazes because they didn't have the audacity to look into those piercing grey eyes. He also made no efforts to give his attention to anyone and continued straddling towards the direction his room was, but halted in his steps hearing that voice. "So how was my son's day? " His icy grey eyes travelled to look at the owner of that voice and his lips stretched into a small grin when his gaze fell on those emerald orbs. "As usual , " He answered and then hugged her. "But endurable, " He completed his sentence which made those green eyes filled with curiosity. "Really? " She asked and he nodded with a slight smirk on his face ,recalling the azure eyes of his
The beautiful rays of sun entered through the glass window and straight fell on those closed eyes which made them open and those baby blue eyes gleamed up more when the sun rays hit them. Her rosy pale cheeks started glowing like the shine of white pearls. She slowly yawned and tossed her head and buried her face into her teddy bear. "Wake up, Sephi. " Hearing that voice, she again shifted and answered in her baby whining voice. "Please two minutes more, Nate. I am very sleepy, " Nathan smiled at her answer and then delicately tapped on her soft cheeks, making her squeal more and buried her face more into the teddy . "If someone is sleepy than I guess I have to eat someone's favourite chocolate pastries alone "She shot open her eyes and immediately got up. "No. I am not sleepy. I will eat 6 pastries this time," She announced her tummy's desire which made her brother raise his eyebrow at her. "And here I thought someone was sleepy? " He asked to which she shrugged her head and
"Don't leave this room until I get back from the meeting, " Nathan made Seraphina sit in one of the waiting rooms of Grayson Corporation because she didn't want to go inside with him in the meeting room and besides, he knew it would be inappropriate taking her with him to meet his head boss and he didn't want to make Seraphina uncomfortable. "I will be back within 10 minutes , okay? " Seraphina nodded at him with a smile and replied"All the very best for your meeting, Nate. "He beamed and patted her head and then left the room, leaving her alone in that waiting room because he knew that place was safe because that entire building,including that room was under strict surveillance and besides no outsider was ever allowed to get inside the company, except Seraphina. Her azure blue eyes were scanning that entire room in curiosity which was looking clean, luxurious and beautiful. That entire building was more magnificent from inside . She was admiring that room's beauty when her pho
"What the hell are you doing here? " Her eyes widened in pure horor. Her blood ran cold. Her entire body turned numb in fear, hearing that raspily hoarse voice which was the deepest voice she had ever heard in her life. She immediately dropped that half eaten cookie back on the box and closed her eyes tightly. She didn't dare to turn around and look at the owner of that voice and now she was regretting her decision of getting out of that waiting room and specially came inside this room. "Turn the fuck around right now, " Seraphina terribly flinched at her place when she heard that voice get raised a little and those choice of words made tears prick into her eyes in fear and panic. For a brief moment, the room fell into a deadly silence until Seraphina heard those heavy footsteps getting closer to her direction. "I said fucking turn… . " That heavy growling voice halted when Seraphina turned around and her face became visible to those eyes. Those eyes which shamelessly scanned h
"Not until you pay for what you have taken from me, Seraphina , " Her azure orbs widened when she heard him taking her name but how did he know her name, that question stunned her. "How do you know my name?" Seraphina asked him while gazing into his silver eyes, shocked , which made his smirk turn more devilish. "Hmmm… " Her face tingled when his warm breathing fanned over it. "Do you know who I am? " He asked her and she just shrugged her head in denial, making him smirked more. "Seems like I am not that famous yet , " He uttered, filling her eyes with confusion. "So let me introduce myself first, " Seraphina heard him speaking and she just stood there, staring at him untidily, until"So my name is Ar… . " His words halted with her phone call. Seraphina's gaze enlarged by watching Nathan calling her again. She picked his phone call. "Hello.. ""Sorry, I am coming. Don't worry, please. No I am not lost, I'll be there. Okay, " She hung up her phone and looked at him, who was
His steel grey eyes were keenly gazing at that pencil which was tainting the whiteness of that painting board. "So she was stealing something from your private cabin? " His lips stretched into a smirk ,hearing those words and remembering that face which he recalled by hearing them. His hand continued to move that pencil on that pale board. "But what exactly was she stealing? " He halted his hand and then turned his head around and looked at the owner of that voice. "Chocolate cookie, " "What? Ignoring everything inside your cabin,she was stealing cookies?" He chuckled and again turned his head to look at that painting board. "Yes, she was stealing cookies, Nick. " Nick was his friend from his school days. He was like a brother to him and now Nick was even working for him and he knew almost each and everything about him. "Wow, man. Of all the expensive things in your cabin, she was interested in taking those cookies. Damn, " Nick commented, earning a snigger from his 26 years
After One Week"Sephi, don't leave your school until I come there to pick you up. The weather is really very bad and the weather forecasting is telling that there are full chances of heavy rain and snowfall in an hour , " Seraphina heard her brother telling her on the phone . She was sitting in her school's cafeteria along with her friend Evelyn as they got done with their school for that day . Many other students were also waiting there as the weather had turned terribly bad all of a sudden. Heavy rain was falling and there was a high alert of heavy snowfall in their city . "I am sitting on the cafeteria with Eve, don't worry Nate, " She replied and heard Nathan sighing on the other side because he had become late to pick her up from her school as he had to attend some kind of meeting in his workplace . "I will be there within 20 minutes. Don't leave your school, Sephi. Roads are very dangerous at this time, " Nathan uttered, who was driving his car . "I won't and you drive care
The weather had worn a deepest shade of darkness. Shiny lights were scattering all over the sky which was roaring loudly. Heavy rain was falling on her already drenched body who was running and running, without knowing and caring about where her feet were taking her. She was hugging herself tightly in order to hide her naked skin. Tears were aggressively falling from her eyes. Her entire body was hurting and she was shivering badly because of the cold and abrupt blows of air. Her feet were running as fast as possible because she wanted to be out of that place, away from those venomous people and the second she got to escape away from them , she ran away from there. Her loud sobbing was getting muffled under the heavy sound of rainfall and clouds roaring. Afraid was an understatement, Seraphina was terrified after what had just happened with her and what could have happened. She was crying harder and harder, whereas her feet didn't stop even for a second, until she felt someone gra
Sezal…" That tiny figure turned around and Arzal's eyes widened by watching those big tears in her doe grey eyes. He dashed towards her and kneeled down before her. "Hey! my love. What happened? Why are you crying?" Arzal asked, worriedly while cupping her small face. He noticed her entire mouth was covered with chocolate. Arzal immediately cleaned it gently with his coat's sleeves and then wiped her eyes. "What happened, Sezal? Why are …" he stopped when she wrapped her tiny arms around his neck. "M.. mamma scolded me," she softly whimpered. Arzal became stunned. He hugged her back and started caressing her head "What? She scolded you but why?" "Because she lied to me about her test grades," Arzal turned his head and saw Seraphina coming inside. By her face, he got it that she was angry. He got up while carrying the whimpering Sezal in his arms. "Her teacher informed me today that she has gotten very low grades in her test and yesterday when I had asked her about her grades
"I've checked the pros and cons of this project and I can say that the cons are more than the pros," Arzal nodded, hearing his company's project head. There was an important meeting going on between the heads of the company."But I have also evaluated this project and in my evaluation, the cons are more but the pros have greater opportunities for our company," Arzal trailed his eyes towards his front and saw that azure eyes owner, who was sitting in front of him."And I think, we should at least do a trial test with it to know our dealers and customer's response towards it," Arzal heard her every word keenly."I agree with Mrs Grayson, Mr Grayson," one of the members of the team agreed with Seraphina."Mrs Grayson has a valid point. We shouldn't just drop these great opportunities just because there's some uncertainties associated with it,"Seraphina flashed a professional smile to that member and then looked at Arzal. "But the risk is too much in this project," another member sai
"Nervous, Grayson?" Arzal sighed and turned around to face Nicklaus. "You couldn't even imagine," Nicklaus laughed at his answer. "Chill, Arzal. You both have a 3 months old daughter now and you're still nervous?""Because I'm marrying the mother of my daughter for the first time, Williams,"Arzal frowned, earning a chuckle from Nicklaus. " Fine… fine… understandable but now at least remove this frown from your face. It's your wedding day, after all," Arzal rolled his eyes at his remark and turned around to face the mirror. He gazed into his grey orbs and uttered those words. "My eyes are desperately longing to see my azure eyes enchantress," Slowly unlatching her eyes, her azure orbs straight fell on her reflection in the mirror. Her body was wrapped in that beautifully fluffy white gown. Her hair was clutched in a high bun. The long train of her gown was attached to it. Her face was glowing like a pearl. "Seraphina, you're looking ethereal," Evelyn uttered, enchanted by her
Sezal Arzia Grayson. Arzal had chosen the name for his daughter and Seraphina had chosen the middle name. Arzal was so happy when she told him that if their baby would be a girl, she wanted to give her his mother's name. So she came up with the middle name, Arzia for their daughter. Seraphina got discharged from the hospital. They couple headed back to his home with their newborn. Everyone was waiting for their arrival in Arzal's house. Seraphina stepped inside the mansion, carrying her little life in her arms but her eyes widened when she saw the scenario in front of her. The entire mansion was decorated with flowers, balloons, toys, teddies. "A very beautiful welcome to our beautiful and brave mamma, Seph and her most beautiful daughter, Sezal," A wide smile formed on her face by watching Nevada, Nathan, Evelyn, Nicklaus and even the staff members. She tossed her head and looked at Arzal, who was standing beside her. He smiled at her and pecked her forehead. "A very warm, beau
Staring at her 8 month's baby bump, a soft smile crept on Seraphina's face. She slowly averted her eyes upward and looked at him through the mirror who was massaging and oiling her hairs. Her smile widened when his grey eyes met with her and he beamed too. "So what is my Sera thinking that made her so happy?" He asked, massaging her head. Seraphina sighed in relief. Her head was aching a little while ago, so he decided to give her head a massage. His touch was so soft and calming that her mood immediately lightened up. "Nothing. I'm just memorising these beautiful moments in my heart," She answered, smiling. His beam enlarged at her words. He pecked her temple. "And we'll continue to collect these beautiful moments throughout our life, together," He uttered, happily but then noticed her smile faded a little at his words. "What happened?" He asked, concerned. Now just a mere frown on her face terrified him, as her delivery was coming nearer. Seraphina shook her head and then sigh
"Why don't you make love to me anymore?" Arzal was aghast after hearing those words from her mouth. He looked at her, bewildered. His reaction hurted Seraphina more, who had now turned more sensitive regarding almost everything. Tears fell from her eyes as a sob broke out from her mouth, taking him back to his senses. "Hey! Hey! Please, calm down. Don't cry, Sera," He tried to calm her down but she shook her head vigorously and uttered. "You don't find me beautiful anymore. I've turned ugly," Arzal was getting shock after shock at her every word. He cupped her face more firmly and stood up on his knees before her. "Who said this to you, Sera? You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life and you're turning more beautiful, day by day, my princess," His words didn't buy her, who again shrugged her head. "No, you're lying. I'm not beautiful anymore, that's why you don't love me like before," Her emotions were taking out the best of her. "I love you, Seraphina. I love
Seraphina turned into a statue, after hearing those words from his mouth. She looked at him, bewildered. Arzal smiled and extended that tiny box of a cookie to her more and uttered. "Please accept my cookie or else my heart will get broken, Sera," Seraphina giggled and then kneeled before him. She took that cookie from him. "Let me taste it first then I'll decide, Mr Grayson," She replied and everyone chuckled whereas Arzal pucked out his lips like a kid. Seraphina bit the cookie and then shoved the rest of the half in his mouth. "Hmm.. It's very yummy, so I guess I can accept your proposal, Mr Grayson," A huge smile formed on his face, hearing her. He pulled her into a warm hug, making her smile. "But you've to promise me, you'll continue to make these sweet choco cookies for me and our baby for the rest of our lives," She spoke, raising her head a bit from his chest. Arzal chuckled at her words and then pecked her forehead. "I promise. Forever and always," He said. Her hea
Seraphina's heart had come to her mouth when she saw his smile fall and his face turned emotionless. "Okay," He hung up the call and looked at her. "What happened?" She asked, desperate. Her eyes had almost watered by watching his blank face. "Arzal, tell me. What the doctor said?" Arzal sighed, heavily, making her more afraid. "She said… " He paused. Seraphina's heart had almost stopped until. "The result is positive. We're having our baby," He said with happiness gleaming in his eyes but her eyes widened. She looked at him, startled. Seraphina started hitting her chest while tearing up. "I thought… I hate you.. I hate you," Her emotions got the best of her. Arzal smiled and pulled her into a warm and gentle hug. "I'm sorry. I was just teasing you," He said, kissing her hair. "Yeah and your teasing had almost given me a heart attack," He pulled back and kissed her teary eyes and then her forehead and then her nose pin. "Your heart is mine and I won't let anything happen t
"I'll share the results of her blood reports in the evening. Till then, take care of her," The doctor uttered and then left from there. Now everyone was standing on their places like statues, staring at each other like they had come to a different planet. "Oh my… Seraphina is pregnant. Our Seraphina," Nevada yelled out of her lungs and dashed inside the room, followed by Evelyn. Nicklaus sighed and looked at Nathan, who was glaring at Arzal. Nicklaus gulped. "Okay, I guess.. You're about to get beaten up, Arzal. All the best, Nathan. Break his jaw but first let him meet her," Nicklaus chuckled and then went inside the room. Nathan sighed, heavily and again looked at Arzal, who had turned into an ice and wasn't even blinking. "If Seraphina wouldn't have been in love with you so much then I would've killed you right now, Arzal," The possessive brother in Nathan came out, who was too stunned to react to that news. Nathan also stepped inside the room and saw Seraphina crying badly,
