Paisley knocks on the door, but Lucian didn’t open the door.
She cracked the door open and sees Lucian soaking himself in the bed with tears.
“Is this how you are going to stop Seraphina from doing what she’s about to do”.
“What can I do Paisley, she has made her choice, I can’t do anything about it anymore”.
“I shouldn’t be saying this to you, but inorder to protect Seraphina, I have to”.
“What do you mean Paisley”.
“Seraphina is pregnant”.
And Lucian quickly got down from the bed.
“What do you just say”.
“Seraphina is carrying your child”.
“Sera is pregnant for me”. Lucian asked Smiling.
“Yes, but with what she’s about to do, she’ll be endangering herself and her baby”.
“What do you mean Paisley”.
“Seraphina isn’t planning on getting married to Jaxon, she’s only using him as a pawn to caught the person after her Life”.
“Meaning”.
Paisley explains everything to him.
“Seems she has already forgiven you, but she’s pretending not to, just so she can put an end to all of this”.
“But why is she doing it alone, she should have told me about it”.
“And that’s why I’m telling you right now, if really Jaxon is the reason why Yasmeen and Madelyn is trying to Kill her, then her life is in danger Lucian, including your child”. Paisley said.
And Lucian looks at her.

“Seems your all alone”. The voice said.
“Who’re you”.
“It doesn’t matter who I’m….I have always wanted to kill you Seraphina, but it seems you always escape dealth, but I guess you won’t today, since your knights and shinning amor Lucian isn’t here with you”.

“Look who we’ve here, Lucian the protector of Seraphina”.
“Your end is now, you won’t be able to hurt Seraphina anymore”.
“Yes I’ll, even if it means killing you”. The masked person brought out another knife, and rushed towards Lucian attempting to cut him with the knife, but Lucian keeps dodging the knife, but it did.
“Lucian!”.
Lucian held his wounded tummy, and looks at the masked person who was laughing.
“Are you still going to protect that girl, do you love her that much to risk your own life for her”.
