“Seraphina, your back, did you speak with Lucian”. Paisley asked when she got back.
“I want to be alone Paisley”. She said and ran to her room.
Paisley was still anticipating on what going on, when Lucian enters the house.
“Lucian….”
“Where’s Sera”.
“She just hurriedly entered her room just now….what happened”. She asked.
Lucian ignores her question, and went to Seraphina’s room, it wasn’t lock, so he entered.
“Get out”. Seraphina said backing him.
“Sera”.
“I want to be alone Lucian”.
“Sera I’m sorry, is not what you think”.
“If you were sick, why didn’t you tell me, I could have being the one taking care of you, not that Jae-hee of a girl”.
“I’m sorry”.
“Can you please stop saying your sorry, it’s cooking me up with worries!!”. She finally yells at him.
Lucian ran his hand around his hair weakly, and sits in the bed with her.
“Sera”.
“Don’t call my name Lucian”.
Lucian takes in his lips.
“Jae-hee was just helping me out, it was nothing, she and I are just friends, no strings attached, please Sera, there’s nothing going on between I and Jae-hee”.
“Then what are you hiding from me Lucian”.
And Lucian went Mute.
“Even if you ain’t saying anything, I know your hiding something from me, what could that be Lucian, what secret are you keeping, that you don’t want me to find out”.
“Sera I….I…I…”.
“You what Lucian, tell me, what going on”. Seraphina asked caressing his cheek.
Lucian looks at her, and he couldn’t bring himself to tell her the truth, seeing her cry will hurt him like mad.
“Lucian”.
“Sera, no matter what happens, always know that I love you, I love you so much Sera, and I won’t ever think of hurting you, I love you alot”. Lucian said, fighting back his tears.
“I love you too Lucian, and let this be the last time your going to let someone touch you again, if that happens, am going to spank you, real bad ok”.
And Lucian nods.
Seraphina smiles, she was expecting Lucian to kiss her like she always does, but when he didn’t, she kissed him.
It’s took some seconds, before Lucian kissed him her back, and when Seraphina started aiming for his shirt, Lucian broke the kiss.
“Why do you stop Lucian”.
“I…” He stops halfway, he couldn’t bring himself to have S*x with her, knowing what’s at stake.
“You don’t what me”.
“Of course I do, I really do”.
“Then let’s do it Lucian, I want you”. Seraphina said and kiss him again, but Lucian broke the kiss.
“Am sorry Lucian, am not feeling well”. He said not looking at her.
Seraphina stood up from the bed, she made to leave, but Lucian held her.
“Let’s sleep in each other’s arms, that’ll do”. Lucian said.
Seraphina looks at him, and even if she could tell from his facial expression, that he was hiding something, she choose to let it slide for now.
Both lay in the bed, Seraphina cuddle herself around Lucian tightly, like he was going to disappear if she doesn’t.
Lucian removes the strand of her hair to look at her properly.
His heart burnt with guilty, as he sees her soundly she was sleeping, cuddling him.
“I don’t want to hurt you Sera, please forgive me I love you so much”. He said and kiss her forehead, with balls of tears, falling down his eyes.

RODRIGO’S MANSION***
Yasmeen smiles as she hears Lucian’s voice note from her phone.
Her mind flashback to how she has turned on the sound record in her phone, when Lucian brought out the idea of breaking Seraphina’s heart.
“Your a genius Yasmeen, now let’s see if the face of Australia won’t get hurt when she hears this”. Yasmeen said and laughs like a witch which she was.
“Someone seems to be in a good mood”. Madelyn said she enters her room.
“Yes mom…..someone is about getting hurt”.
“And who could that be Yasmeen”.
“Who else but my rival Seraphina”.
“What’re you planning on doing Yasmeen”.
“Nothing much, just want to hurt her emotionally”.
“How”.
Yasmeen smirks and plays the voice note for Madelyn.
“Lucian made a deal with you to break Seraphina’s heart”.
“Yes he did, but he love her now, and is no longer a deal since I didn’t help him get into ABI….but who cares, am still going to show this voice note to Seraphina, and you and I both know that Seraphina has intermittent explosive disorder right, once she gets too angry, her body system gets trigger, and she’ll never be able to forgive the person that triggered her mental system, just like how she hasn’t forgive Jaxon for what he did to her five years ago”.
“And since she loves this Lucian a lot, she’s going to get so hurt for it, they by endangering her brains”.
“Exactly, we finally found a way to make the face of Australia go back to her sad Shell again”.
“Bingo”.
And Both mother and daughter laugh like witches.

A WEEK LATER***
“Lucian hasn’t told you anything”. Jamilia asked over the phone.
“No, is there something his supposed to tell me”. Seraphina said coming down from her car, she was so tired from all the photo shoots she did today, and Paisley visited her family.
“Emm, nothing”.
“Jamie”
“Yes Phina”.
“Do you by chance know what Lucian is hiding from me”.
“No…I….I…don’t”. Jamilia starmmed.
“Why do I feel like you do”.
“Phina, wh@tëver happens, know that Lucian loves you so much, he was just being stupid”.
“What are you trying to emphasize on Jamie”.
“Nothing Phina, I just thought you should know that Lucian loves you…..bye Phina”. Jamilia said and ended the call.
Seraphina sighs, she was about calling Lucian, since he has been out of reach lately, when Yasmeen approach her.
“Hi dearest cousin”. She said smiling.
“And what did heck are you doing here, didn’t I tell you not to ever show your snuggle face in front of me again”. Seraphina said angrily.
“Relax Seraphina, I didn’t come here to fight, I came here to talk to you”.
“I don’t have to strength to talk to you Yasmeen, so just get lost”. She said and about to leave, and Yasmeen quickly said.
“Is about Lucian”.
Seraphina stops on her track and Yasmeen Smiles.
“What about him”. She asked.
“I’m sure you must have been wondering why Lucian has been awkward lately…..I Know why his that way”.
“If you don’t have any useful thing to say, just get lost”.
“Lucian told me his going to break your heart into pieces, once you fall inlove with him”.
And Seraphina’s looks at her with shock.
“Your Jocking right”.
“I wish I was, but am not, he said his going to break your heart, just to make you shattered”.
And Seraphina shakes her head.
“That’s not true, Lucian will never do that to me”.
“Well he did Seraphina, Lucian doesn’t love you, his only playing with your heart”.
“I don’t believe you Yasmeen, Lucian will never play with my heart, he’ll never do that!!”.
“You want prove, then am going to show it to you”. Yasmeen said and played the voice note which she already edited.
Seraphina on hearing the voice note, lost balance and falls to the floor, she couldn’t talk, her tears was the one doing the talking.
“You see Seraphina, Lucian never loved you, you’re just a pawn in his eyes”.
“Sera”. Lucian said the moment he came down from the car, and seeing how Yasmeen, and how shattered Seraphina was, he knew Yasmeen has spilled the bean.
“I’ll just leave you two to talk”. She said Leaves laughing.
“Sera”. Lucian muttered, as she raised the weaking Seraphina to her feet.
Seraphina looks at him with multiple tears in her eyes.
“I…..want…you…to…tell….me….the….truth Lucian, did…you tell Yasmeen….that…you were going to break my heart”.
“Sera”.
“Just answer me Lucian!!!!, Is she saying the truth!!!” She yells.
And Lucian slowly nods.
“Yes I did, but….” Lucian was caught Short with a hot slap.
“You animal, you monster, how could you do this to me, I gave you my heart, I gave myself to you…..I love you so much, but you were only playing with heart….you jerk!!!!”. Seraphina yells at him, hitting and slapping him, and crying at the same time.
“Sera, am sorry I..”
“Don’t freaking tell me your sorry!!!,…don’t come me…..Don’t!!!!!”. She yells loudly.
Lightenings stricks in the sky, Seraphina screams so loudly, and her throat seized, she held her neck in pain, trying to force out a word, but no one came out from her mouth, no matter how hard she tried to talk.
She held her neck, feeling lots of pains in her lump, she was bleeding from her nosery and ear too, and she could feel her brain getting damage.
“Sera”. Lucian muttered looking scared, on seeing that way.
Seraphina kept crying as she was trying to force herself to talk, but she couldn’t.
Another lightening stricks in the sky, and Seraphina passed out immediately.
“Sera!!!”.
