Seraphine was indeed in a dilemma.
The knot done was too tight, and even if she managed to get rid of this, there was no assurance she would be able to escape. Certainly, the man wouldn't have planned this without any preparations.
As Seraphine continued to chew on her bottom lip anxiously, she heard the sound of door opening and, immediately, closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
Back then, in order to get rid of the man, she made the excuse of being hungry. However, in this condition, it was a miracle she was not throwing up.
Hearing the footsteps that came in her direction was starting to make her anxious, and her name was being called couple of times by the man.
"Seraphine? Sweetheart? Have you fallen asleep, sweetheart? I have brought something for you to eat."
The perverted man sat in front of her, and subconsciously, Seraphine found herself quiveri
Leaning against her bed, Seraphine held a cup of hot chocolate and took a sip out of it.From what she got to learn of the situation, the man who kidnapped her was a baron, and his family was influential either.For him to avoid the security of Vougeious family and abduct her on his own seemed almost impossible. This did imply someone was helping him behind the scenes.Seraphine didn't understand how the baron got obsessed with her, and upon a report from her brother, she got to learn once he sent a proposal for engagement at their house.The letter sent was obviously discarded by her brother's assistant.However, when Seraphine got to learn of Baron's name and compared the notes she had written on all the events that occured to original Seraphine, she found a match.In the novel, it was revealed that Baron was able to kidnap Seraphine and
Kayden placed his hand on her cheek and expressed, "Thank god you are fine."There was a hint of vulnerability in Kayden's tone that gripped her chest, and she rubbed her cheek against his hand.Following that, she commented, "It's good to be back."Throughout this time entire time, Kayden was extremely afraid. Ever since he got to learn of her disappearance, he experienced extreme fright and felt frantic.He went through great helplessness and did not know what to do, other than desperately praying for her to be back."When I saw you curled up about that tree," he started, "immense relief filled me. It was as if my heart had finally began to beat again. Seraphine Vougeious, you truly have the knack for worrying me to death."Seraphine chuckled. "You found me? This makes it seem like we are fated."Kayden touched her hand and intertwined
"I am just really happy," he confessed, showing her a gratified smile.Seraphine chuckled. "Didn't I tell you I was blessed with great luck? But honestly, it's truly strange someone like that took interest in me. When did the Baron even see me previously?""That man," Kayden vocalised, "There is more to it than that."Seraphine nodded in agreement.°°°Calling for Noah in her room, Seraphine sighed and said, "This is not something I am sure about, rather just a suspicion. Check up on my classmate Winter Cross. She is from kingdom of Anerxia."Her words caused Noah to silently stare at her for seconds, and then he questioned, "What makes you doubt her?""The reasons can't be said," Seraphine vocalised, "But if my guess is right, she is able to use magic as well. By the way, how did you managed to find me so quickl
Her brothers considered about her taking a break from academy, but Seraphine decided against it. She would be bored to death at home despite how safe it would be.Even if her family attempted to keep the matter under wraps, her kidnapping was indeed a large scale event with many involved, and it couldn't be helped if everyone in their circle was aware of it.While there were few who looked at her with pity, this era wasn't generous to the woman, and many rumours went to the extent of how she was defiled.It was disgusting how Seraphine was the victim yet needed to suffer from these harsh words and stares, but it couldn't be helped.Couple pointed their fingers at her behind her back and commented this was her karma for behaving wildly.Used to narrow-minded people of this era, she truly didn't bother about it.In midst of this, she had truly forgotten about t
It would be an understatement to describe Eli's current mood as aggravated. Other than disappointment he felt, he truly wanted to rip off Seraphine's hair.He was laughed at the entire way.As he was about to enter into his room, he had a classmate staring at him, standing in front of his room. Probably because of how angered he was, the fellow classmate trembled in his presence and seemed hesitant."What's the matter?!" Eli groaned."T-that," the student stuttered, "T-this is for you."Before Eli was able to process anything, a cake box along with a letter was handed to him, and the classmate ran away before Eli was able to stop him.Staring at the box in his hand made Eli want to throw this entire thing on the ground and stomp over it. Because of it Seraphine was able to make a joke out of it.Probably because of how she had gotten the
Seraphine watched her brother and his teammates discuss the matters while she ate the snacks. The situation wasn't boring for she more or less understood what they were going on about.Everything sounded intriguing to her, and she wanted to learn more of the case.Handed by Ashton, Seraphine had collection of all the cases her brother solved previously written as report, and interested, she went through them.After reading them, her respect for her brother only increased.She really wanted to be someone like Clayton.In the middle of their talks, Ashton turned to face her and voiced out, "Little Lady, I have heard about how capable you are. Do you want to join us on this?"His suggestion sounded tempting to Seraphine, but Clayton was quick to turn him down."No way in hell! She would only be bothersome!"Her bro
When the light reaching through the window bothered her, Seraphine let out a groan, and turning towards the other direction, she was desperate to go back to sleep.But before she could sink into that darkness, she recalled something and immediately jolted up. It came to her attention she had to go to her brother's office early in the morning.Seraphine wiped off the drool from the corner of her mouth and knew she was going to be late. Knowing there was no time for her to waste, Seraphine instantly closed the book in front of her hurriedly."Oh my god! Seraphine, you have to hurry up! Ah! Quickly! Quickly!"That's how, Seraphine started a hectic morning. Due to her being in a rush, she stubbed her toe against various surfaces couple of times and did not even have the luxury of crying out in pain.Because of how quick she was, she was able to take a short shower and get dressed in
The impact from transporting caused Seraphine to feel dizzy for a second, and blinking her eyes a couple of times, she took a step backward, only for her to collide against a hard surface.Shocked, Seraphine began to observe her surroundings and realized her hand was still being held by Kayden."Are you alright?" Kayden questioned.From what she had noticed, the two of them were in a cage, and Seraphine would be foolish if she didn't realize they had been caught in a trap.Seraphine knew she had no one but herself to blame for being this gullible. Just because they were on the crowded street didn't mean she had to lower her guard."Yeah," Seraphine expressed, "I am sorry. Because of me, this happened."A groan escaped from her mouth.Due to dim lighting, she was barely able to make out her surroundings. Locked in a cage did feel like a no
