All Chapters of Her Redemption : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

A few hours after Dr. Thompson's visit, Seraphina was still fast asleep, the injection's effects lingering. Damien sat beside her, watching her peaceful face, his expression a mix of concern and something else - a hint of obsession.He reached for his phone and dialed a number, his voice low and gentle as he spoke. "Hello, I need a bouquet of white lilies and pink roses delivered to my mansion ASAP. And make sure they're arranged beautifully, with some greenery and baby's breath. I also want a soft, plush robe in pale blue, her favorite book - 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and a silver necklace with a tiny crystal pendant in the shape of a teardrop. Deliver them within the hour."As he hung up, he gazed at Seraphina, his eyes lingering on her lips, her hair, and her delicate features. He stroked her hand, his touch gentle, almost reverent."She's so beautiful," he whispered to himself, his eyes tracing the curves of her face. "So fragile, so vulnerable... and yet, so stro

Seraphina's inner voice, trembling and barely above a whisper."I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. My mind was racing, but my thoughts were a jumbled mess. 'Damien's child?' How could this be? We'd been so careful... so in love. I couldn't breathe. My heart was racing, like it was trying to escape my chest. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of confusion and betrayal. How could he do this to me? To us? The questions swirled in my head like a vortex, pulling me down into a dark abyss of despair."Seraphina's world was crumbling around her. The man she loved, the man she thought she knew, had been hiding a secret that could destroy their relationship forever.Christy interjected, her firm tone cutting through Seraphina's disbelief. "Look, Seraphina, I know this is a lot to take in. But I'm not here to sugarcoat the truth. Damien and I... we have a history. And now, we have a child on the way."Seraphina's eyes widened, her mind racing with questions. "A child? How... how could you do

Marcus arrived at Damien's mansion, his black SUV pulling up to the entrance. He stepped out, his eyes scanning the surroundings, his mind on high alert. He came with his guys, a team of ruthless mercenaries who would do anything for a price.Damien opened the door himself, a cold smile spreading across his face. "Hey, Marcus. Thanks for coming over."Marcus nodded, his eyes narrowing. "What's going on, Damien? You're not usually this... anxious."Damien's smile grew wider. "I've got a problem, Marcus. A big one. And I need your help to take care of it."Marcus's gut told him to walk away, but his loyalty to Damien kept him rooted. "What kind of problem?"Damien's eyes locked onto Marcus's, his gaze piercing. "Seraphina. She's been spending too much time with Alex. And I need you to bring him to me. Now."Marcus raised an eyebrow. "Bring him to you? What's going on, Damien? You're not making sense."Damien's voice was low and menacing. "I don't pay you to ask questions, Marcus. I pay

Damien took a deep breath, his eyes closed, and began to narrate the whole situation. "It started a few months ago, Em. I met Seraphina at a bar, and we hit it off. We were both lonely, and we decided to enter into a contract marriage. That’s a whole ‘nother story. It was just a business arrangement, no love involved."Emma's expression turned skeptical, but she nodded for him to continue."Then, weeks later, I met Christy at a conference. We had a one-night stand, and...well, she got pregnant. I know it was a mistake, but I wasn't thinking about the consequences at the time."Damien paused, his eyes opening to meet Emma's gaze."Christy came to my house when I wasn't around, met Seraphina, and told her everything. Seraphina packed her stuff and left. I haven't seen her since."Emma's face softened, her voice gentle. "Oh, Damien. What a mess."Damien nodded, his eyes dropping in shame. "I know, Em. And now Christy is giving me an ultimatum - marry her or...or there will be a problem."

Rachel and Seraphina were lounging in Rachel's living room, sipping coffee and chatting. Rachel brought up the party, her eyes sparkling with excitement.A week had passed since Seraphina's argument with Rachel, and she was still reeling from the emotional fallout. Her heart felt heavy, her mind a jumble of conflicting emotions. Rachel's words had struck a chord, and Seraphina couldn't shake off the feeling that she was stuck in a rut."Sera, there's this party... Do you know Lauren? My friend, has invited me to. I don't know if you'd like to come, but I think you should. You need to have fun, you know?"Seraphina raised an eyebrow, unsure. "A party? I don't know, Rachel. I'm not really in the mood."Rachel persisted, her voice gentle but persuasive. "Come on, Sera! It'll be fun, I promise! Lauren's parties are always a blast. And it'll be good for you to get out of the house, meet new people... you never know, you might even have a good time."Seraphina hesitated, weighing her option
