SEREIA

I wanted to refuse Valerians offer but he was already walking out of his office so I had no choice but to follow him.

He led me to quaint cafe that sat at the corner of the street, it was barely noticeable and they only had a few tables inside.

Valerian walked to a table in the corner and I stood there staring at him as he did so.

"Sit." He commanded and immediately sat down. Shortly after a young waitress approached us.

"What would you guys like?" She asked with a polite smile that did

  • The Sister He Never Chose    Chapter 75

    SEREIAI didn’t sleep that night after dinner, every time I closed my eyes, I saw the messages. There was proof, documents, photos and everything I need to prove that I’m innocent.My eyes refused to close that night and slowly it turned to morning. I went through the day acting as normal as I could. Breakfast with Liyana and her chatters, brief conversations with Valerian and of course gossip with Gracie.No one suspected anything or at least I thought so ---The day dragged on and on into the office where I worked on reports made coffee and attended to all of valerian’s wishes.It was normal, boring and tiring and after it was time for lunch and I ate my food happily while Sarah talked about her weekend and I nodded at the right places. Once the time reached six we left for home. Dinner was at seven.Liyana chattered about her day while Gracie complained about something on the news. It was a cliche day with Valerian eating in precise bites while occasionally correcting Liyana o

    SEREIAThe cab pulled through the mansion gates just as the sky began fading from blue to grey. I leaned my head against the window and I smiled as Selena’s face when the card hit the counter appeared in my mind.The way she stood there frozen her composure cracking as she watched me buy everything in the store.I would remember that forever. The car suddenly stopped and Arthur came down to open the door for me. He had been ordered by Valerian to come pick me up from the boutique so I didn’t have to walk again."Welcome home, Miss Sereia.""Thanks, Arthur." I said as I came down from the car and walked in still smiling.Maybe I should stop refusing Valerian’s offers.---The house was warm and quiet when I walked in and it smelled like something good was being cooked in the kitchen.Valerian stood in the living room and as usual his tablet was in his hand. This man was always working, he looked up when I walked in and a small almost invisible smirk danced on his face."Shopping report

    SEREIAI stood on the sidewalk my phone still pressed it my ear as my mouth remained shut."Sereia?" Sarah's voice came through the phone again. "You're scaring me. What happened?" She asked her voice filled with concern and I opened my mouth to tell her about the humiliation i was facing but I closed it back because the words wouldn’t just come out."I'm fine," I finally managed to say my voice shaking badly. "I just... I need to go." I said quickly making sure to hang up before she could respond.The bags that were being packed for Selena taunted me. I should leave and just walk away. I could go to another store and get an even better dress.But my feet wouldn't move.---The door chimed behind me and I turned around. Selena stood at the entrance with her bags dangling from both hands. The workers flanked her, all of them still smiling at her. She looked at me with a small smile."Why are you still here, Sereia? Waiting for miracle?" She joked and everyone around her released amuse

    SEREIAThe boutique looked expensive— Ivory walls, gold trimmings and mannequins that wore dresses that probably cost more than my first apartment.I stood at the door hesitating to enter, my outfit was simple. Jeans, sweater and boots and nothing about it said. “I’m a rich lady and I belong here.” but I needed a dress for the party and so I pushed the door open. ---The bell chimes softly immediately I walked in and everything inside the boutique was equally the same color as the outside and crystal chandelier hung from the ceilings, the entire place smelling like flowers and money. Two women stood behind a long counter, they were both in black dresses and their hairs were primed to perfection. The looked at me as I walked in and then looked at each other. One of them, the blonde one with sharp eyes walked over with a smile that didn’t reach her face. "Welcome to the Pavillon, I’m Lucinda that head of sales. How may I help you?”"I need a dress for a formal event ." I replied an

She asked with a polite smile that didn’t quite reach her tired eyes.Valerian called out his super specific coffee order and then asked for a croissant, he then looked at me waiting for my order and and I asked for soup and bread, then the waitress wrote down our order and we left."You come here often?" I asked him as we waited for our food and he looked at me from his tablet."When I need to think." He replied and I raised my brow at me in question. "And you need to think now?"“Yes I do." He answered and I nodded going back to s

    SEREIA I woke up to gray light filtering through the curtains and the faint sound of Liyana giggling downstairs and for a moment I just laid there staring at the ceiling as I let the events of yesterday wash over me. The play, Liyana hugging Valerian and of course Lucas. I pushed the thoughts away as I stood up from my bed and went downstairs. ---The kitchen was already filled with noise when I went down stairs. Gracie was at the stove staring up something in the pot while Liyana sat at the table, kicking her feet with a half-eaten piece of toast in her hand. "Mommy!" She yelled immediately I reached downstairs as she waved her toast at me."Today is show-and-tell and I'm bringing my llama!" She added and I smiled at her before responding."That's nice, baby."I walked further into the dining only to find Valerian sitting at his usual spot with his coffee beside him and his tablet in his hand. He looked up at me for a second before he returned back to his tablet. Arthur appeared
