Semua Bab Her Redemption : Bab 91 - Bab 100

Damien, standing quietly beside Seraphina, took her hand in his, offering silent support. He could sense the tension between the sisters and knew this was going to be a difficult reunion.Uncle Mike cleared his throat, trying to ease the awkwardness. “Why don’t we all sit down and talk?” he suggested. “We have a lot to discuss and a lot of healing to do.”Seraphina took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. She turned to Uncle Mike, her voice trembling slightly."Uncle Mike, can I see Dad? I need to see him before we sit down and talk."Uncle Mike looked at her with understanding and nodded. "Of course, Seraphina. He's in the study."Seraphina nodded, feeling a lump form in her throat. She glanced at her mother, who gave her a supportive nod, and then at Amanda, whose expression was still one of exaggerated pity."I'll be right back," Seraphina said, squeezing Damien's hand before letting go."I'll come with you," Damien offered softly.Seraphina shook her head. "I need to do this

Seraphina woke up early, the first light of dawn filtering through the curtains. She slipped out of bed and headed downstairs. She found Genevieve already in the kitchen, brewing a pot of coffee. Her mother looked up, offering a weak smile.“Morning, sweetheart,” Genevieve said softly. “Did you sleep at all?”Seraphina shook her head. “Not really. Too much on my mind, I guess.”Genevieve nodded, pouring two cups of coffee. “I understand. Today’s going to be hard, but we’ll get through it together.”They sat in silence for a moment, sipping their coffee. Seraphina felt a mix of anxiety and determination. She glanced at her mother, who seemed more fragile than she had ever seen her.“Mom,” Seraphina began, “I’m really sorry for everything… for not being here.”Genevieve reached across the table, taking Seraphina’s hand. “It’s not your fault, Seraphina. We all have things we regret. But today, let’s focus on saying goodbye to your father.”A gentle knock on the door interrupted their mom

The morning sun filtered through the bedroom window, casting a warm glow over the room. Seraphina stood by the bed, methodically folding clothes into her suitcase. Her mind drifted back over the events of the past few days, a whirlwind of emotions and memories.Damien’s voice called out from the bathroom, interrupting her thoughts. “Almost ready?”“Just about,” she replied, smoothing out a shirt before placing it carefully in the suitcase.Damien emerged, towel-drying his hair. “I can’t wait to be back in our own space,” he said, his tone carrying a mix of exhaustion and relief.“Me neither,” Seraphina agreed, closing her suitcase with a finality that felt almost symbolic. “This trip has been…draining.”Damien walked over and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “We’ll be home soon,” he said, his eyes full of understanding.Seraphina looked up at him, grateful for his steady presence. “Thanks for being here, Damien. I couldn’t have done this without you.”“Always,” he said softly

Amanda sat at her desk, the hum of the office around her doing little to soothe her seething frustration. Her fingers hammered the keys with growing impatience, her mind racing with thoughts of how unfair her situation was. “Admin and data entry,” she muttered under her breath, her eyes narrowing at the spreadsheet on her screen. “This is ridiculous.”As the hours dragged on, Amanda found it increasingly hard to concentrate on the mundane tasks assigned to her. She glanced around at the other employees, noting how they seemed engrossed in their work. “I didn’t beg for a job just to be treated like this,” she fumed inwardly, feeling the sting of humiliation.The clock ticked slowly toward the end of the workday. Amanda clenched her jaw, struggling with the menial tasks she had been given. Each keystroke felt like a personal affront. “I’m better than this,” she thought, anger bubbling inside her.Finally, unable to contain her frustration any longer, Amanda grabbed her bag and left her

Damien settled into the couch, his mind still occupied with thoughts of Seraphina and the emotional intensity of the past few hours. Amanda, sensing Damien’s need for space after his firm rejection, decided to step back momentarily and reflect on her approach.She retreated to the kitchen, tidying up the breakfast spread she had prepared earlier. As she worked, her thoughts raced, analyzing the interaction with Damien. She knew pushing too hard could jeopardize any chance she had with him, especially with Seraphina’s presence lingering in his mind.Amanda sighed softly, leaning against the kitchen counter. She wanted Damien’s attention and affection, but she realized it wouldn’t come easily. Her mind drifted to Seraphina, wondering how deep Damien’s feelings were for her and how much of a challenge it would be to win him over.After a few moments, Amanda straightened up, determined to regroup and strategize her next move carefully. She couldn’t afford to give up, not when Damien was s
