And coming out from the house, she meets Lucian who just came down from his car.
“What are you going here Lucian”.
“Did you watch the news”.
“And what if I did, do you expect to jump into your arms just because you made a public pleading”.
“Sera, I’m doing everything I can to earn your forgiveness, what more should I do for you to forgive”.
“Don’t try anything, because I won’t forgive you, is never going to bring my vocals back”.
“Sera…..”.
“Jisoo”. Jaxon said approaching them, holding a bouquet of rose flowers.
Lucian looks at the bouquet of rose flowers in his hand and asked.
“And what’re you doing here Jaxon”.
“Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that”.
“Sera and I just had a misunderstanding, and here you’re trying to court her”.
Jaxon Scoffs and said.
“Jisoo, didn’t you tell him”.
“Tell me what”. Lucian asked looking Confused.
“Jisoo is my fiancee, we’re getting married Soon”.
And Lucian’s jaw dropped in shock, and the word fiancee keeps ringing in his ear nonstop.
“Sera….is that true, tell me his jocking that his lying, are you getting married to him”.
And Seraphina kept mute.
“Answer me Sera, is he saying the truth, are you both getting married!!”.
“Yes we’re, I’m getting married to Jaxon, he my fiance”.
And Balls of tears falls down Lucian’s eyes.
“Then what about us Sera”.
“There’s no us Lucian, wh@tëver we shared already ended”.
“But Sera, am trying my best to fix my mistakes, I’m doing my very best to fix us, and you’re just going to get married to him, have you forgotten what he did to you”.
“I haven’t forgotten about that Lucian, but you were the one who hurt me the greatest, he didn’t play with my heart like you did”.
“I never played with your heart Sera, not once, everything I’ve always said to you is the truth”. Lucian said between tears.
“I don’t care Lucian, I’ve made up my mind, am getting married to Jaxon, so I think is best you stop bothering me, or else I’ll make you pay for what you did to me in jail”.
“Sera I dunno why you’re doing this, but I love you, and not once have I ever played with your heart, yes I said I was going to play with your heart, but it never pushed through because I fell madly in love with you Sera”.
“Are you done….if you’re done you can leave, I need to talk with my fiance.” Sees said fighting back the tears in her eyes.
With a broken heart, Lucian enters his car and drove off.
“Are you okay Jisoo”.
And Seraphina could only nod her head.
“I got this for you”. Jaxon said giving her the flower.
“Thanks Jaxon”. She said with a voice that wasn’t audible, after she took the flower.
“Seraphina, thanks for accepting me back in your life, and for wanting to marry me, I promise you Seraphina, I won’t break your heart again, I love you so much”.
And Seraphina only looks at him.
Jaxon tries to kiss her, but she resisted.
“I’ll be going in now Jaxon, I want to be alone”. She said and enters the house.
“No one can take you away from me again Jisoo, you’re mine, and we’re going to get married just like you said…not even Lucian can stop me from being with you now”. Jaxon said and smiles.
******
“Is he finally asleep”. Vance asked.
“Yes I managed to put him to bed”. Jamilia answers.
Lucian has been crying all through the day, crying about the fact that Seraphina was getting married to Jaxon, and it took a lot of efforts before Jamilia was able to put him to sleep.
“What’re we going to do Jam, it seems the public pleading didn’t help…..Seraphina is so cruel, I understand she’s hurt, but how could she go to the extent of saying she wants to marry Jaxon, does she want to kill Lucian…I know she’s suffering from intermittent explosive disorder, but can’t she see Lucian loves her….what if Lucian ends up dieing because of this, his looking so skinny…..I feel so sorry for my best friend”.
“I’m going to talk to Phina”.
“You think she’s going to listen to you”.
“I dunno…..am just going to try my best, I don’t want to see my best friend in this state anymore, he has suffered enough from his mistakes”. Jamilia said.
And Vance sighs.
******
“I’m still going to get married to Jaxon, nothing is going to change that Jamie”.
“But Phina your making a mistake”.
“Making a mistake, you’re a girl too Jamie, will you be able to take the heart break when you discover Vance was only making a fool out of you….no right”.
“Yes I won’t be able to handle it, but Lucian really loves you Phina, do you know how long he cried, when he found out you decide to get married to Jaxon”.
“I don’t care Jamie, am still pushing through with the wedding”.
“Phina”.
“I think you should leave Jamie, you’ve over stayed your welcome, if you don’t want me to get mad at you too, you should leave”.
“I’m going to leave Phina, but just know you’re about to lose the Man who love you so much, and who is ready to give up his own life just for you, when regrets comes knocking, don’t ask me for help Phina”. Jamilia said and storms out of the house.
And Seraphina sighs looking so tired, she hasn’t been doing anything lately, but she doesn’t know why she was always tired.
“Jamilia is right Seraphina, is high time you forgive Lucian”.
“Not now Paisley”. Seraphina muttered holding her forehead.
“Are you okay Seraphina”
“I don’t….” Seraphina’s stops half way, and quickly went into the toilet to puke, Paisley also went with her.
“Are you alright Seraphina”.
Seraphina’s shakes her head, her eyes became heavy, and blurry, and before Paisley could anticipate on what was going on, Seraphina fainted.
“Seraphina!!”.

Seraphina slowly opens her eyes, and she discovers she’s in the hospital.
“Why am I here Paisley”. She asked sitting up in the bed.
“You fainted ealier Seraphina, I was so scared that all I could think of was to bring you to the hospital”
Seraphina yawns and asked.
“Why did I faint”.
“I dunno, the doctor had you diagnosed, so he’ll be here soo”.
Seraphina nods yawning.
“You look tired…..why”
“That’s what I keep asking myself Paisley”.
The doctor enters the ward, and Seraphina quickly ask.
“So doctor, Why did I faint earlier, am always so tired, do I have any sickness”.
“No you don’t Seraphina…..where’s Lucian”.
“And what does he have to do with me being here”. Seraphina asked.
“Everything Seraphina, cos am sure his the father of your child”.
Paisley looks at her.
“What’re you talking about doctor, I don’t understand what you’re trying to say doctor”.

“Preg……what”.
