“Sera”.
“Mm”. Seraphina muttered resting her head in Lucian’s chest.
*I Love you*.
And Lucian wished he could say that out from his inner mind.
Seraphina looks at him and he gulps down nothing.
“Do you want to tell me something”.
Lucian takes in his lips looking at her.
“Lucian”.
“Huh”.
“Do you want to say something to me”. She asked
“Well…I….I…I…”
“You what Lucian”.
“I forget to tell you, you have a fan signing event tomorrow at sunshine industry”. Lucian said, and deep down he knows that was not what he really wanted to say.
“Oh is that so”. She muttered.
“Yes, will you go, or should I have it cancelled”.
“No don’t”.
“You want to go”.
“Ever since you became manager, have changed a lot, so I’ll do it”.
“Will you be okay”.
“Just because I cried in your arms ealier doesn’t mean am weak okay”.
And Lucian smiles.
“You don’t always have to act strong in front of me Sera, you can always lend my shoulder anytime you want to cry”.
“Really, I might wet your clothes with your tears”.
“It doesn’t matter, I won’t mind”.
Seraphina smiles and rest her head on Lucian’s shoulder.
“Thanks alot for coming into my life Lucian, I feel like my life has some meaning now, you and your painting really mend my broken self, thank you Lucian”.
Lucian smiles and patted her gently.
*I hope I’ll be able to tell you, how I feel one-day Sera*. Lucian said inwardly and continues patting her gently, until Seraphina fell asleep in his shoulder.
He drove her home, and carefully place her on the bed watching her beautiful face and smiling as well.

LUCIAN’S HOUSE***
Tinsley keeps pacing around the house waiting for Alvin, it was late into the night, and he was not yet back, and to top it all, both hasn’t not speak to each other, since the Yulia’s incident earlier today.
The door cracked open and Alvin enters the house.
“Alvin”. Tinsley muttered rushing to meet him.
“What do you want Tin”.
“I was just worried, since you weren’t back from wherever you went”.
“If you really care about me, you won’t have done what you did to Yulia”.
“I didn’t pushed her Alvin, she intentionally fell on her own”
“And why will she do that”.
“To get back at me because I…” Tinsley stops half way
“Because you what Tin”.
But Tinsley went silent.
Alvin sighs and said.
“I don’t know what to do with you anymore Tin, because of you, Yulia cried today”.
“And you think those tears were real, she wants to become an actress right, of course she’ll know how to fake a tears, just like in the movies, believe me Alvin I didn’t push her.”
“Then apologize to her”.
“What!, Didn’t you hear what I just said, I didn’t push Yulia”.
“I don’t care Tin, just say sorry to her”.
“I won’t Alvin, because I didn’t push her”. Tinsley said.
“Then there is no point talking to you anymore”. Alvin said and leaves for his room hitting shoulders with Tinsley, and Tinsley staggered.
“I didn’t push her”. She muttered looking so sad.

RODRIGO’S MANSION***
Madelyn keeps knocking on Yasmeen’s door ultering her to open up, but Yasmeen didn’t bunch, she just sit in her bed, crying as Jaxon refused to answer her calls.
“Yasmeen can you please stop crying and open the door, Yasmeen!!”. Madelyn said knocking on the door.
“What going on with Mee”. Matteo asked.
“She’s refusing to open the door, and she has been crying”.
“Why”.
“Because of Seraphina, that little witch is trying to steal Jaxon from her, do you know she agreed to be in partnership with Jax”.
“And what’s so wrong in that Madelyn”.
“You don’t find anything wrong in this, Seraphina is trying to get back with Jaxon using that as an excuse, and you see it as nothing”.
“Your the reason why Mee is so spoit, I mean how can she be crying over a guy, if she’s so confident that Jaxon loves her, while will she be affected by the fact that Seraphina and Jaxon are business partners, is high time your daughter act her age”.
“If I wasn’t Yasmeen’s Mom, I’ll have said your not her biological father, try to make your daughter happy rather than supporting someone who’s not your daughter….your so annoying Matteo”. Madelyn said and leaves.
Matteo looks at Yasmeen’s door, and he could hear her crying from inside, begging Jaxon not to leave her for Seraphina, and he sighs.

NEXT DAY ~ SERAPHINA’S MANSION***
Seraphina and Lucian were busy playing a video game together, when Matteo enters the house, and seeing them laughing and playing together really shocked him.
They were too occupied in the video game they were playing, that they didn’t notice him.
“Seraphina”. He called.
And Seraphina on seeing him, quickly ran to hug him.
“Samchon”. She said hugging him so tightly.
“How’s my angel doing”. He asked.
Seraphina looks at him and smiles.
“Good afternoon Mr Matteo”. Lucian greeted.
“How’re you Lucian”.
“I’m fine Mr Matteo”.
“Is this real, or am I being delusional”. He asked.
“What do you mean uncle”.
“I mean the last time I came here, you both were pulling each other’s hair, and now you both are laughing and playing together, is this real”.
“Of course is real Uncle, I and Lucian are now friends, those fighting days of ours are over”. Seraphina said smiling.
“Is that true Lucian”.
And Lucian nods.
“Then am glad to hear you both are finally getting along, and I can see being friends with Lucian is changing you Seraphina, you don’t always smile so widely like this”. Matteo said.
And Seraphina laugh, Lucian looks at her and smiles.
“Will you be free tonight, let hang out together, just the three of us, to celebrate the cat and rat being friends”.
“I’ll have really love that, but I have a signing event to do today”. Seraphina said.
“I thought you don’t always condole to that”.
“Well I think is time for a change, don’t you think”.
“That right Seraphina, so where’s the signing event taken place”. Matteo asked.
“Sunshine entertainment”. Lucian answers.
“Sunshine entertainment…. alright…. endeavor to watch and take care of Seraphina okay”. Matteo said.
“I’ll, even if you didn’t tell me to”. Lucian said.
