LUCIAN’S MANSION***
“This is all your fault Lucian, is all your fault!!”. Aaliyah yells at him angrily.
“Just calm down Aaliyah”.
“Don’t tell me to calm down Jamilia, thanks to him Seraphina won’t be able to sing again, her angelic voice is gone thanks to him…Alvin is much better than you, atleast he never played with a girl’s heart”.
“He didn’t play with Seraphina’s heart, he loves her sincerely”. Vance said
“But that doesn’t change anything…why did he even say that in the first place…don’t talk to me again….I h@ťě you!!”. Aaliyah yells and ran upstairs to her room.
“What are you going to do now Lucian”. Alvin asked.
“I dunno Alvin, Sera is so mad at me….she doesn’t want to give me the chance to explain things to her”.
“Of course she’s going to be mad, she lost her voice for singing thanks to you…if you had told her before Yasmeen did, all this won’t have happened”.
“I was just too scared, but now I Wish I had told her myself….I won’t stop begging her, until she forgives me, I really love her, I love her so much”. Lucian said between tears.
Vance and Jamilia consoles him.

Days later, Seraphina was discharged from the hospital, and her life wasn’t as it used to be.
And while in the hospital, she has declared to the public that she won’t be singing anymore.
She was still the face of Australia, but she’ll be resigning from singing, it was a bombshell to the public, but still they had to endure with it.
Yasmeen and her mom seems to be enjoying the news, they were the happiest to find out that Seraphina has resigned from singing, their plan to bring her down, successful worked out for them.
Lucian has been coming to the hospital, begging non-stop, but Seraphina didn’t even spare him a glance, talk more of giving him the chance to talk.
“I’ll be in my room Paisley”.
“Won’t you eat something”.
“I’m fine, I’ll call you when I need you…I want to be alone”. Seraphina said with a sad voice.
Paisley watch her as she walked to her room like she doesn’t have any single bone in her body, and Paisley feels so sorry for her.
Seraphina sadly enters her room, and the first thing her eyes saw was the very first Grammy she won as a singer.
She sadly walks towards the Grammys, she has won, and her mind flashback to how she she worked so hard to become where she’s now.
It was thanks to her voice, she became Rich and popular, and was able to become the face of Australia.
Tears falls down her nonstop, as she tried to sing, but no vocals came out.
Her eyes met with the drawing about life, and the frame Lucian made for her.
She walks towards it, looking at the two artworks with tears.
She remembered all the happy times she had with him, it was the happiest moments that brought sadness to her life.
*Lucian doesn’t love you, you’re just a pawn in his eyes*. Yasmeen words echoes in her ears.
Seraphina yells in tears, she took both of the artworks and hits on the ground.
“I h@ťě you Lucian, I h@ťě you so much!!”. Seraphina screams and falls to the floor crying, her throat began to hurt badly.
Paisley on hearing her scream rush to her room, and sees her holding her neck in pain.
“What are you doing to yourself Seraphina….. your endangering yourself”.
“It hurts so much Paisley, it hurts so much that I want to die, I just want to die Paisley, I can’t do this anymore, I can take the heart break anymore”. She said crying.
“Stop crying Seraphina, everything is going to be okay”.
“It won’t be okay anymore, I lost my voice, I won’t be able to sing again, it brought me this far, but I can’t use it anymore….Lucian hurt me so much, he hurt me so much that I feel like calling for dealth, why’s life so unfair to me why”.
Paisley consoles her, crying as well, she felt so sorry for Seraphina.

“What did heck are you doing here”. Seraphina asked the moment she saw Lucian.
“I came to see how you are doing”.
“Why, so as to check if I’m finally dead because of what you did to me”.
“Sera, I never meant to hurt you”. Lucian said with a sad voice.
“You never meant to hurt me, but you still did Lucian…I love you Lucian, I loved you with all my heart, I loved you with every single thing in me….but you just played with it, like it was some kind of football”.
“That’s not true Sera, I didn’t play with your heart….I love you so much”.
“You love me, after what Yasmeen told me, you still think am still going to believe any word that comes out from your mouth…now I understand why you came back and said we should be friends, even after I had slapped you, is because you were planning to break my heart…bravo Lucian because you won, you indeed crash my heart into a thousand pieces”. Seraphina said as tears falls down her eyes.
Lucian went on his knees, as tears never ceased from his eyes.
“Am sorry Sera, please forgive me, am really sorry, not once did I ever played with your heart, I love you sincerely, I really love you Sera, I love you more than my own life”. Lucian said hicupping in tears.
“How can you say you love me after everything I have heard, I almost died Lucian, I almost went mad because of you, thanks to a person like you, I can no longer sing, my singing career was what made who I’m today, and because I love you too much, I lost my vocals, and you think am going to forgive you for that….am never going to forgive you Lucian, wh@ťěver we once had, be it fake or real…is over between us Lucian, and I never want to see your face ever again”. Seraphina said and turns to leave, but Lucian quickly hugs her from behind.
“I’m sorry, am so sorry Sera, please forgive me, I love you, I love you so much”.
“Let go off Lucian”.
And Lucian shakes his head.
“I don’t want to Sera, please find a place in your heart to forgive me please, I love you Sera, I really do”. Lucian said crying.
And when Lucian refused to let go of her, Seraphina forcefully remove his hands from her body and landed a slap on his face.
“Keep slapping me Sera, if that going to reduce the pain your feeling inside, then continue slapping me”.
Seraphina slaps him again and again.
“Is still not enough to ease the pains I feel inside, no matter how hard am trying to believe that you love me, is still not reducing the pains you inflicted on me Lucian, am like a living corpse thanks to you….do you want me to feel less hurt, then stop showing your face to me again…..do me a favor and get lost”.
“Sera….”
“Just go Lucian, just leave me alone, get out”. Seraphina said pushing him away.
She pushed him out of the house, and slammed the door in his face.
And she broke into tears, crying so painfully.

“That enough Lucian, stop drinking already”. Jae-hee said as he drank the Tenth bottle of Alcohol.
“Is all my fault Jae-hee….if I had told her the truth, maybe she won’t have gotten so hurt, is all my fault why she lost her vocals and why she’s hurting so much”.
“I told you before didn’t I, but you choose to keep it a secret, now see the precautions of not telling her, it’s going to be hard to earn her forgiveness, since your the reason why she can’t sing anymore”.
“What am I going to do Jae-hee, I love her Jae-hee, I love her so much”.
“Then stop drinking, drinking yourself to inebriate, won’t solve the problem at stake, you’ve to keep begging her every minute, seconds and hours of the day, until she’s able to believe that you love her, just like she used to”.
And Lucian hiccups in tears.
Jae-hee later brought him home, he was already wasted in the influence of alcohol, and all he keeps crying and saying in his sleep was “I LOVE YOU SERA”.
And even Aaliyah who was mad at him, began feeling sorry for him.

SERAPHINA’S MANSION***
Seraphina came downstairs, and sees Jaxon waiting for her.
“What’re you doing here Jaxon”.
“I heard you resigned being a singer, so I had to come back to Australia to know why”.
And Seraphina looks at him.
“What happened Jisoo, why do you choose to stop singing, you really love it”.
“Was that why you came back to Australia, just because I quit my career as a singer”. She asked.
“Of course Jisoo, I was so worried about you, when I heard the news on Tv”.
Seraphina inhale and Exhale.
“Jaxon”.
“Yes Jisoo”.
“Do you really love me”.
“Of course I do Jisoo, I love you so much, I know I made a mistake back then, but I totally regret it, I’m sorry for what I did years ago, I really love you so much Jisoo”.
“Then let’s get married”.
