She sighed and picked it up. "Hello, " "Are you done with your classes? " Her heart beat slightly accelerated hearing that raspy deep voice. "Yes, " She replied. "Okay, I'll be there in 5 minutes to pick you up and don't even think about stepping out of your school premises till I don't come there, Sera, " His voice was calm but threatening enough to make her feel afraid. "O.. Okay, " She stuttered and then he hung up the call after humming in response. Seraphina sighed and took her bag and was placing it on her back when she saw Benjamin entering her class. "Hey! Are you ready to go home? " He asked and she nodded. "Ok then, let's go, " "No. Actually, my brother's boss is coming to pick me up for his home, so I will have to wait for him, " Seraphina uttered, to which she saw Benjamin's smile fall from his face and turned slightly firm. "Hi! guys. Ready to go home? " Nevada's voice gained their attention. Seraphina smiled and nodded. "Ok then, let's go. My brother is com
"Who the f#ck is Benjamin, Sera? " A chill ran down her spine, hearing his dangerously lower voice whereas his predatory grey orbs had frozen her in her place in terror. Seraphina was too shocked and terrified to reply to him and her silence made his anger convert into rage . He started taking his predacious steps towards her, all the while gawking into her terrified azure eyes. "Who is Benjamin, Seraphina? " Stretching on his each and every word , he continued to remove the distance between them and now in fear, Seraphina started taking her steps back as she witnessed that deadly havoc getting closer to her but she had to halt because of her back getting pressed against her dressing mirror and now there was no backing back from her. He gritted his teeth, watching her trying to get away from him and her that deed made his rage venomous. He closed the rational gap between their bodies and stood, towering her small fragile frame which now had started shivering slightly in fear of hi
He was standing in front of her door and with a soft push, he opened her door because it was unlocked. He stepped inside the room, which was engulfed with darkness and the only source of light was the dim table lamp which was present beside the bed and was on. After wandering all over in that darkness, his restless eyes finally fell on his peace, who was present in her bed. He walked towards her carefully and then looked at her whose body was curled up, her head was leaned against her teddy's shoulder which was present beside her. Her one arm was wrapped around her teddy bear and the other was placed on her abdomen where he saw her holding something. Her eyes were closed. She was asleep but the table lamp beside the bed had made it possible for him to see those tears still rolling down from the corner of her eyes. Those tears and their stains on her slightly pink cheeks. She had cried herself to her sleep and even her closed eyes were still shedding tears . That painfully he had br
Her soul warmed up. Her being quivered, feeling his warm lips feeding on her soft ones. Seraphina made no attempts to push him away. She neither kissed him back nor tried to stop him because in that moment, she was fighting an inner battle between her heart and her mind. On the other hand, he kissed her tender lips, passionately, hungrily but without being harsh on her. He devoured her lips like it was his only way of surviving his life. He kissed her with everything and the more his lips turned dominating over her, the more tightly Seraphina hugged that photo frame on her abdomen. But he finally stopped when he came back to his senses and noticed she hadn't kissed him back. He slightly pulled back and his eyes fell on her. Her eyes were tightly shut. Tears were abruptly rolling down from the corner of her eyes and she was embracing that photo frame tightly in her arms. She was even shivering. He wanted to cure her. He had wanted to take her pain away but instead, he again hurted
"But I am not done with you yet, Princess,"Her body shivered, hearing his husky voice in her ear and feeling his burly body getting pressed against her back. Seraphina gulped, feeling his warmth. She started struggling and stuttering. "L.. Leave me, M.. Mr Grayson," But her words made him tighten his arms around her abdomen. "I don't like it when you call me that," He uttered, making her confused. "It feels like we're strangers," He confessed and she scoffed in annoyance. "And that's what we both are, Mr Grayson, " But she immediately regretted her daring words, when he spun her around in a second and pressed their bodies together. The darkness in his gaze had shown her how much her words had displeased him. "Really? We're strangers, Sera? " He calmly whispered against her lips but she could clearly sense the deadliness lacing in his voice, but this time, she remained unaffected by his anger. "Yes, Mr Grayson. We're strangers. You're a stranger to me," Arzal clenched his j
Her azure eyes stared at Benjamin's lifeless body, which fell before her feet on the ground. His soulless eyes were opened and were gazing straight at her, making Seraphina feel like her own soul had gotten tear apart from her. Seraphina looked at her clothes, which had tainted with blood. Benjamin's blood, her friend's blood. She was aghast. She had never witnessed something so inhuman and cruel, ever in her life. She was stupefied in fear, terror, pain. Her eyes were gazing at Benjamin's lifeless eyes, until she felt that presence coming closer to her. Seraphina took her teary eyes upward and her soul clenched in extreme amounts of horror by watching that voracious sinner, who had just committed that ruthless sin, taking his predacious step closer to her. His barbaric grey orbs were penetrating her soul with its vicious intensity. His jaw was still tightened. The fatal deadliness in his eyes had turned more merciless.Seraphina clutched her clothes, feeling his every step, reduc
The clouds were roaring loud, shiny lights were scattering all over the sky. The roads were looking empty and dark. Street lamps were the only source of light. The heavy rain was falling on her drenched-shivering body, who was running on the road, and didn't know where her feet were taking her. Silent tears were aggressively falling from her eyes, mixing with the rain water on her dampened cheeks. Her feet were hurting, her fragile body was aching. Her heart was throbbing in pain. Images of the lifeless eyes of Benjamin were flashing before her. How brutally he had killed him in front of her own eyes and what inhumanity he had tried to do with her. All these things made her break down into tears more badly. She was running because she wanted to be far away from his reach but didn't know where to go, whom to ask for help? Her aching feet started throbbing whereas her breathing increased due to her abrupt running. She stopped and started panting heavily. Her legs were shaking, her
"No," Seraphina yelled and ran towards him. "Please, please, don't do this. Please leave him," She pleaded while tearing up terribly before him, who didn't look at her. He again took a sip from his glass and then gazed at the screen. "And why would I listen to you?" He smirked, making her startled. He snapped his intoxicated gaze at her and peered into her teary reddened eyes. "Who are you to me that you think I am going to listen to you, Seraphina Aries Miller?" Seraphina felt a painful pang in her throbbing heart, after hearing his choice of words. More tears stained her cheeks. His gaze turned more barbaric by watching her tears and then he trailed his eyes at the screen of his phone. He again chugged down from his glass and spoke"Kill h..""No, please. No," He again stopped when she cupped his hand in her palms and joined her hands before him. "Pl.. Please, let him go. I.. I am begging you, please," He gritted his teeth, feeling her soft and warm touch and hearing her s
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,
