SEREIA

The first thing I registered as soon as I woke up was heat, it was a deep radiating warmth and it was accompanied with a steady, rhythmic thump against my cheek.

My eyes fluttered open, my breath hitching immediately I noticed that I was on Valerian’s chest— his arm slung possessively around my waist pulling me impossibly close.

How did I get here? I must have rolled over in my sleep and now I was on his broad chest, and his hard muscles.

I inhaled his cologne allowing myself for a fleet

  • The Sister He Never Chose    Chapter 126

    SEREIAVALERIANThe drive home was long, I decided to return home earlier than before and that seemed to be a mistake because the traffic was heavy.It was like the city was angry but I couldn’t even ponder on the traffic because my mind kept drifting to her. Sereia.I could remember vividly how tears flowed down her eyes and each time the picture came into remembrance I felt a tightening in my chest, something I couldn’t name.Something I was scared to.Anybody thought that refused to leave my mind is how lenient I have been, I have let her disinter humiliate her countless time forgetting who I am.Valerian Ashford.I hold countries and lords in my hands but I hesitated at ruining the life of that woman who dares make sereia cry.Mine.My mind was a furnace and right now only the sight of Sereia and Liyana could quench the roaring fire. Then I saw it.A small shop stood at the corner of the street, it was small and unassuming yet it spoke of dainty and beautiful pieces.A sign on t

    VALERIANI opened my eyes immediately the clock reached 5:47, I didn’t even need to check it because I already knew. My body woke up at that exact time whether I liked it or not. It was a habit I had formed years ago and now I can’t seem to stop.I sat up from my bed and swung my feet onto my cold bed before trudging into my bathroom.The bathroom remained the same, the same way I always left it. Toothbrush holder bristles facing left, towels folded into thirds and a few other things. I reached for my toothbrush and began brushing and I brushed my teeth for exactly two minutes 11 seconds not a second more or less.I rinsed my mouth when I was done and splashed water on my face before trying myself and then I walked to my closet which was organized by color.Greys, blacks and whites. I pulled put out a charcoal suit, a white shirt and a dark tie.I dressed in front of the mirror. Adjusted my collar. Checked my cuffs. Everything was in place. Everything was precise.The man staring b

    SEREIAI stared at the ceiling for what felt like an eternity after reading the news. The numbers were still etched in my mind. The stock prices. The headlines. The comments. All of it. Valerian’s company was suffering because of me. Because of what people said I did. Because of a lie that just would not go away.I could not stay here. The thought crept in quietly like a whisper I did not want to hear. I tried to push it but it lingered. I sat up and rubbed my face, my eyes were swollen, my head and chest felt hollow.I needed to find Valerian. I needed to explain things to him to make this right. I stood up walked to the door unlocked it and stepped into the hallway.The stairs felt longer than usual. Each step felt heavier than the last. I could hear voices downstairs. Aurora’s tone, Annabelle’s sweet response, the clinking of coffee cups and the shuffle of feet.I reached the bottom of the stairs and turned the corner. Aurora saw me first and her face immediately changed, the cold

    SEREIAI walked…I didn’t know where I was going neither did I care, the only thing I knew was that I couldn’t remain here,And so I trudged the hallway stretched ahead of me, the carpets muffled my footsteps while the light buzzed over head.I walked past different rooms, past the elevators and past the ice machine that kept humming in the quiet. My face was wet with tears, my hands were shaking and my chest felt like someone was sitting on it. Everytime, every single time I thought things might be okay, something happened.I pushed through the door at the end of the hall entering into the cold echoing stairwell. I lowered myself and sat at top step pulling my knees to my chest before letting myself fall apart.I cried in between my knees, thinking of everything that happened this last few hours and tho I could hear my phone buzzing repeatedly I couldn’t even get myself to look at it. My phone buzzed again. Then again and again.I eventually got tired of the countless buzzing and

    SEREIAThe terrace was still in chaos, people were shouting, phones were flashing and even tho a lot of people surrounded me I was alone. Selena remained on the floor with her hand clutches to her stomach while she wailed. I stood frozen, hands raised, heart pounding as I stared at her.Then Lucas lunged at me."You bitch!" He yelled, his face was red and his eyes were wide and almost crazed. Two men grabbed his arms preventing him from hitting me but he eventually fought them off. "I'll ruin you! Do you hear me? I'll ruin your miserable life! I'll make sure everyone knows what you are!" He threatened and by now people were more intrigued, staring with dirty eyes and murmuring over the chaos."Someone call the police!""Get her away from here!""She pushed a pregnant woman!"I heard a number of people say and I didn’t even know who was who. Annabelle suddenly stepped forward, her face was pale but her eyes were hardened and cold. "I always knew you were trash. First you tried to ki

    SEREIAIt was beginning to look like no one was going to break the tie, not until a woman stood up.She had kind eyes that seemed to glisten, dark hair and an equally dark dress.It was Ariana.She walked forward slowly like she had all the time in the world, her familiar face was rid of any smile with only a stern business like look in place. “O my God do you know what that is?” Sarah whisper yelled into my ear in glee. “Yes I do.” I nodded. “She helped me escape Annabelle earlier.” I added and Sarah shook her head frantically. "No no not that, she is Ariana Vance." Sarah's voice was urgent. "She owns half the tech patents in Europe. She's worth more than a lot of people in this room combined…except Valerian and a few others of course." Sarah informed me and I gasped at the nice woman I had met earlier.She walked into the podium before grabbing a piece of paper bad writing something on it before dropping it in the box and then she turned around scanned the room as her eyes found

    SEREIA My head pounded— a dull steady throb behind my eyes as I tried to move but my wrists were tied to the arms of what seemed to be a chair. The bindings around my wrist didn’t feel like hard rope but rather it felt like a smooth binding something akin to fancy velvet ribbons.I blinked trying

    SEREIA I woke up wrapped in a fluffy duvet and the the TV was still on, playing a nature documentary and meerkats. My neck was now still from sleeping in a wrong position and as I twisted my neck trying to stop the pain, my eyes met Valerian.He was asleep on the other end of the couch not looking

    SEREIAThe morning sun streamed in through the windows of the kitchen, brightening up the entire place and setting a stage for Liyana to twirl around in her tutu."Mommy, can we go to the park? Please, please, please?" Liyana begged me her face twisted into a pout and I glanced at Valerian as if to

    SEREIAAs Liyana's giggles faded into the distance I couldn't stop myself and my feet moved before my brain caught up."I'm coming too," I called out, hurrying after them and then Valerian halted at the top of the stairs but he didn’t turn. “That would be unnecessary.” He replied and Liyana immedi
