LOGIN[Dean's Estate - 7pm]Seraphina had just finished packing her first twenty orders.The deliveries wouldn't begin until tomorrow as it's already too late to start anything today.But she didn't care. One by one, she loaded the boxes into the back of Dean's car, stacking them carefully like trophies earned through blood and sweat.Since her Lexus has been destroyed by Valhalla people, she's gonna use one of Dean's cars for the deliveries.Not like he's gonna do a thing.The land documents she holds over them would seal his energy.Tomorrow, she'd drive through New York herself, making every delivery no matter how exhausting it'll be.The last box landed in the car booth with a heavy thud.She slammed the trunk shut and leaned against it, breathing out.Then, she smiled.A real smile.For the first time in her life, she won against her family.She damn won.The feeling sat in her chest like gold.She didn't stammer on the podium—she didn't break.But would any of it have been possible w
Jude came down, shocked."What's going on?"The cops raised an a freshly printed arrest warrant. "We got an arrest warrant for Tobias St. Graves for the attempted murder of Kelly Price.""What!" Jude and some other present workers chorused.Tobias came down from the car.No time was wasted.He didn't struggle with them as his arms were folded behind him before cuffs were snapped on his wrists."Father!" Jude went closer."Calm down, J." Tobias gave him a dark, reassuring smile before he was taken to the cops car.As the car drove out of the premises, the workers were thrown into a state of panic. Everyone panicked except Nun Ruth who instantly got her phone and dialled her mother."My Priest just got arrested, can you make a move, mum?" She asked urgently, looking restless.While everyone freaked and feared, Nun Estelle stayed behind, quiet like her mouth was stitched shut.She looks too quiet for her personality.Nun Grace walked up to her, asking,"You good? Estelle?" Estelle walke
[Redd Estate]Acosta hasn't left the living room since Kimmy and her parents left.He remained there, looking like he's not even ready to go to work as he stared down at the gift he got her.The jewelries are all on the floor, scattered. She even marched them when she was running out earlier.Peach sat on the couch opposite him, looking at him expectantly. She has been expecting him to talk for so long, but he choose silence."You aren't gonna apologize for what you did?" She snapped rudely.Acosta looked up, meeting her demanding eyes."You're never supportive, never at home. Why can't you be like mum?" She further demanded."Peach..." Acosta sighed."I demand an apology!" She stood."Peach!" Acosta stood too."What!" Peach rolled eyes. "If mum should hear that I stabbed a schoolmate with my hairpin, she would praise me, but you? All you do is complain at every move!""You did what??" Acosta's eyes widened. "You stabbed what?""I told her to fail her reading test on purpose so I can
The last statement detonated through the hall.Reporters surged forward, their camera lenses snapped towards Seraphina with frenzied shutters.Seraphina's fingers curled around the edge of the podium until her knuckles whitened. Anxiety clawed persistently at her ribs, but it didn't reach her face. She didn't blink or twitch.Her gaze slid to Genevieve and Marley. They were staring at like she'd suddenly grown horns.At the back of the hall, Allison and Bexley looked just as stunned.Bexley felt her stomach tighten.The Seraphina she knew would've folded beneath the weight of these cameras. The Seraphina she knew apologized for existing. The Seraphina she knew cried if someone raised their voice at her.But the woman standing on that podium... She looked different.She's not even stammering?"This moment can't slip by!" Allison squealed and yanked out her phone.She began recording Seraphina.She had expected Seraphina to flee, but instead, Seraphina declared war.Genevieve immediat
[Redd Estate]Carrying a pretty small green cake, Peach came out of her room, looking pumped for today's party.Surely, another party will be happening. It's her mother's birthday.She knew Kimmy would have left her room, so she went ahead to the living room. Surprisingly, her father was already there with her mother.Acosta gave Kimmy a box of jewelry set, and she opened it with a full smile, caressing the jewels.She looked up at Acosta who sat dutifully in front of her."Thank you, honey. And I'm sorry for yesterday's slap. You know I get out of bounds when you support that Frump. It'll never happen again." She pouted, moving closer.She placed her head on his shoulder."I didn't buy you a birthday gift to hear your apology, Kimmy, and I don't need the apology cos I know you're still gonna do it anyways. I just want peace for the sake of my daughter." Acosta replied."Come on," Kimmy moved her lips to his mouth for a kiss..."Happy birthday mummy!" Peach shouted, coming in with the
[Tino's Place]The house was as silent as silence itself when Saint arrived.He didn't bother going to the hospital to take care of himself or tracking Bexley down first.He came here straight.Tino is nowhere.And he can't even track his phone.It's like the tracker on his phone has been removed or something.Tino's mother is a crazily overprotective one who'd always threaten to fly Tino out of the country whenever she saw him racing illegally with Asphalt Kings, but still...this can't be it.Tino won't fly out of NYC without his knowledge, so what's up?He thought of dialling his number for dialling sake again.This time, it went through, and as the line rang, Saint tapped his fingers at the back of his phone restlessly.Till it picked."Yo, punk! Where the fûck have you been?" He queried."You actually have someone you care about?" A husky voice dropped back. "That's uncool, Saint."Saint recognized the voice immediately."Toby?" He frowned.--[Hospital]Kelly refused food or wate
