"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

His head tossed. His mouth shut, as he felt that stinging sensation on his cheek of her slap. "Really, it was just lust?"Arzal snapped his eyes at her and saw that fire burning in her glossy eyes. "The way you touched me, the way you embraced me, the way you made me feel that night, was it all just your lust?" Seraphina yelled at him and then grabbed his collar. Her blazing gaze peered at him. "Whom are you trying to lie to? Me or your own self, Mr Grayson?" He remained shut at her outburst. "I know my mind is naive. I know I am mentally weak, but my heart is strong enough to understand the feelings of that person whom it has started letting inside in it," She shouted while tearing up terribly. "My heart knows you enough to know that you're lying. You're lying to me because we both know, it wasn't lust. What happened between us that night wasn't lust because if that was just lust then you would have never thought about my pain before your pleasure. You would have never restrai

"This party is so boring. Tell your best friend, his engagement party sucks just like his fiancee," Nevada remarked, sipping her juice. "Shut up," Nevada rolled her eyes, hearing Nicklaus. She turned her eyes to Seraphina and saw her standing on her place like a statue. "Seraphina, are you feeling well?" She asked but Seraphina didn't reply. Nevada shrugged her shoulders a bit, taking Seraphina out of her trance. She looked at Nevada. "What's wrong, Seph? You're not looking well," "No, I'm fine," She lied but her words didn't buy anyone there, especially Nicklaus. "Why don't we try dancing. Look, everyone is dancing there," Nicklaus suggested, pointing towards the stage where couples were dancing. "It's a couple dance, Nick and remember, we're still loveless," Nevada giggled. Nicklaus scoffed and uttered. "We don't need to be a couple to do a couple dance. A normal partner is also enough,""And do you think anybody would want to dance with your ugly a#s?" Nicklaus glared at

Seraphina's heartbeat accelerated, feeling his warm lips on her. She tried to push him away but his hold was too firm and rigid, so in her desperate attempt of escaping, she bit on his lower lip harshly. But instead of leaving her, his kiss grew more dominant and aggressive, which made her dig her teeth on his lips so sharply that her tongue tasted his blood. His kiss became more passionate, at her harsh act on his and after taking her breath away, he pulled back. Seraphina was panting heavily. She was about to yell at him but her eyes widened, by watching the blood on his lips. She had really bitten him vigorously. His blood was even smudged over her lips a bit. Guilt washed over her, just with her mere act which hurted him. "I am s…. "But before she could've completed her words, he again slammed his lips over her. Seraphina was startled because she didn't know how badly he got tempted by watching his blood on her lips, so like a bloodthirsty animal, he again started feedi

"Why were you going to marry Lyra?"Arzal, who was snuggling his face inside her neck, stopped, hearing her. He lifted his face up, only to meet with her questioning eyes. "Why were you doing all of that?" She asked again, making him sigh. "Ser… ""No lies anymore. I want the truth," Her words were clear and firm. Arzal again breathed out hard and sat up on the bed. She also followed his action of sitting on the bed. Seraphina, for the first time, noticed something unusual in his eyes, like something was bothering him and she understood if it was bothering him, then it must be something very relevant. "The marriage and engagement with Lyra was fake," He uttered. Seraphina was stunned at his words. "But why?" She queried, still in disbelief. Arzal trailed his eyes away from her and rubbed his palm all over his face. "Even if I tell you, you won't believe me, Sera because.. " He turned to look at her. "Because you don't trust me," Her heart ached at his statement. Arzal suspi
