"Me and Lyra have decided to make our relationship public. We're getting engaged, next week,"Her azure eyes snapped towards the owner of that voice, only to witness those icy grey orbs were already on her. "What? But so suddenly?"Seraphina trailed her eyes to her front and saw Rebecca was looking shocked too. "Yes, because me and Arzal, we both love each other and it's almost a year, we're together, so we thought to take a further step to make our relationship official," Seraphina heard those words from the mouth of that woman, who was sitting beside. She never knew a couple of words were capable of hurting her so much. She finally looked at that woman and noticed she had seen her before and then remembered, she had seen her with him on his party's night. She was there with him too. "Oh.. Okay and if you both are happy with this, then I am also happy with your decision," Rebecca beamed a bit. "Indeed I am more than happy about this, Mom," Her heart ached in pain, hearing his
"Well, you haven't still congratulated me for my engagement, Sera,"Seraphina gripped the railing of the balcony tightly, hearing that voice and its words but made no attempts to turn her head around. She noticed those footsteps approaching her and then halted beside her. His strong cologne filled her nostrils. His body's warmth engulfed her immediately. "You know as your brother's boss, I at least deserve your well wishes for my engagement, ain't I?"Seraphina clenched her jaw at his words. She knew what he was trying to do but she was in no mood to play his wicked games. So, without looking at him, she turned around and tried to leave but he grabbed her waist gently and stopped her. Seraphina finally snapped her blazing azure eyes at his mocking vicious gaze. She gritted her teeth. "Don't touch me, Mr Grayson," She uttered while trying to push him away. Her words made an evil grin to form on his face. "Or else what, Miss Miller?" He gently whispered, making her more angry. "I
"The burn is slightly severe, but don't worry, I have given her the injection and medication to get relief from pain and itching," The doctor uttered, shutting her briefcase. "But make sure to keep your hand dry, Seraphina. Don't let it get wet, okay?"Seraphina, who was looking down at her lap, slowly nodded. "Is there any way to get her burn completely healed as soon as possible, without suffering any pain?" The doctor turned her head and saw Arzal, who was gazing at Seraphina's burnt skin without blinking. "Mr Grayson, as I said the burn is slightly severe, so it needs some time to get healed properly and for pain relief, I have given her the injection and here's her medication," The doctor uttered, handing the prescription to him. He didn't say anything further. "I'll come back tomorrow to check her skin condition, till then make sure she takes her medicines on time," "We'll take care of it, doctor," Rebecca said, who was also present inside the room. The doctor nodded and
"H.. How could y…you love someone else after m.. making love to me?" Never a couple of words had affected him that much, like those words of hers were affecting him. He was beyond startled. Seraphina buried herself more in his body "You made l…love to me that night then how can you m.. marry her?" She whispered in between her sobs against his skin. Arzal unburied her face from his neck and looked into her teary, half-closed eyes and there he noticed she was under the intoxication of her medication because her eyes were slightly red. She even had a light fever. Now he understood why she was saying and doing those things which she would never do in her proper senses. "Sera, is your head hurting, Princess?" He asked, placing his palm over her heated up cheeks. She slowly shrugged her head and then held his hand. She placed his palm over her chest, where her heart was. "It's hurting me there, very badly," More tears fell from her azure eyes. Extreme amount of guilt washed over him
Seraphina's eyes widened in pure shock by watching the person standing before her, who was smirking at her. She hurriedly turned her back on him and covered her bare back with her long hair. "What are you doing here?" She uttered through gritted teeth. His smirk broadened at her question. "You told me to come in for some help," Seraphina clenched her jaw at his answer. "Are you a maid, Mr Grayson, because I had called for her?"She spat and he chuckled. "Well I don't mind becoming one for you, Miss Miller but at least consider my gender before honouring me with such a designation because it's quite difficult for me to become a maid, you know," He laughed, making her more annoyed. "And about that maid? She has left to prepare your breakfast," "Then do me the honour and you too leave from here," She snapped at him "Quite offending, Miss Miller. Firstly you invited me on your own and now kicking me out. Very disrespectful," He teased her more while staring at her back. Seraphina
Seraphina swallowed, witnessing those firm grey eyes staring at her and then they shifted to her behind. "Take the bag to my study room and wait for me there," He commanded. "Yes, Boss," Seraphina turned her head and saw Ryan's lowered head. "Let's go,"She again tossed her head and witnessed those grey eyes were now on her. She didn't reply, instead just turned around and grabbed her bag and then started walking towards the main door but she was clearly aware of him following her. "Finally, your hand has almost healed, Seph," Seraphina nodded, hearing Evelyn, who was checking her hand. "Yeah and it would have healed more satisfyingly if you would have splashed that hot soup on that bi#ch's face," Evelyn chuckled whereas Seraphina sighed, hearing Nevada. "She didn't do it intentionally, Neva," Seraphina uttered, defending Lyra because her naive heart didn't want to believe that Lyra had done it intentionally to her. Nevada rolled her eyes, finding her again defending Lyra.
"Take Ryan with you,"Seraphina gave him a disbelieving look at his words. "He is going to be there with you for your safety and security reasons," Arzal said firmly, gazing at her. "Arzal, Seraphina will be safe with us. She…""Ryan will go with her or else, she's not stepping a single step out of this house tonight. That's it, " Arzal's voice and words were commanding and authoritative, which made Nevada shut. Seraphina sighed and looked at Ryan. "Let's go, Ryan," She flashed him a soft smile, which Ryan returned back. Arzal keenly noticed their interaction. "Fine then. If everything is sorted, then let's go,"Nevada said and everyone walked towards the door. Everyone started settling in their cars when Seraphina noticed Ryan was getting alone in his car. "Nevada, can I sit in Ryan's car, as he's alone?" She asked Nevada because she was going to sit with her in Nicklaus's car. Nevada smiled and nodded. "Surely, why not and besides, it's just half an hour drive," Seraphina
"Arzal, what are you doing here?" Seraphina heard Nevada asking him but her heart ached when she saw Lyra, coming from behind. "Because me and Arzal thought to enjoy the rest of the night with you all guys," Lyra answered, smilingly. Nevada scoffed whereas Seraphina remained shut. "Okay, now let's proceed further then," Evelyn uttered and everyone followed her words. Seraphina also turned around but her eyes caught his reflection still staring at her in the mirror but this time, she trailed her eyes away from him and then walked away. Taking her slow steps, Seraphina was following everyone but she had lost her very interest in each and everything, especially after they came. She wasn't looking at them but was clearly aware of Lyra clinging on him like a leech but the thing which hurted her more was, he wasn't even trying to part himself from her and why would he be, after all they were going to be together forever. "Hey, Seph, look fireworks," Seraphina looked in front of her
