“Lucian!!!”.
She screams out, hoping Lucian could come to her aid.
Jaxon was still forcefully trying to kiss Seraphina, when Lucian enters the house.
And when he sees Jaxon trying to force himself on Seraphina, he rushed towards him.
Lucian pulls him away from Seraphina, and a heavy punch follows afterwards, Jaxon falls to the floor.
“Lucian”. Seraphina said, and quickly hugs him, sobbing in tears.
“Are you alright Sera”.
Sera looks at him, shaking her head, and when Lucian sees the tears in her eyes, he become more angry.
Jaxon was still on the floor, trying to recover from the heavy punch that just landed on his face, when Lucian grap his collar and began punching him so hard.
He never wanted to get involved with Jaxon, but seeing him forcing himself on Seraphina, and made her cry, made him loose it.
He was still punching, when Seraphina cling her arms around him.
“That’s enough Lucian, am okay now, let him go”. Seraphina said hicupping in tears.
Lucian reluctantly release Jaxon, and Jaxon staggered.
“If you really want your teeth to remain in your mouth, disappeared from here right now!!”. Lucian yells angrily.
He wasn’t the type to get angry easily, but when he does, his like n angry Lion, and that why neither Tinsley, Alvin or even Aaliyah never dares to make him angry.
Jaxon Cleans the blood in his lips, and said.
“Who d you think you’re to pry in the life of I and Seraphina, your just her manager!!” Jaxon yells at him.
“His more than a manager to me Jaxon, so leave or am going to sue you for harassment!!”. Seraphina yells at him, holding Lucian’s hand.
“You heard her right, so leave, or you won’t be able to Walk home yourselves”. Lucian said with an angry voice.
“Jisoo, please just give me a chance, I still love you so much, am going insane, thanks to you, please Jisoo, I love you”. Jaxon said.
“If your going insane, then you should see a doctor”. Lucian said, he grabs Jaxon by the collar, and pushed him out of the house.
“I love you Jisoo, I love you so much!!” Jaxon screams from outside.
“Are you alright”. Lucian asked.
Seraphina didn’t say a word, but just hugged him.
And the maids who have been watching the whole scenario let a sigh of relief.
***
Seraphina sits alone in her bed, as the scene of what Jaxon try to do keeps flashing back at her.
How on earth, did she fall for that monster years ago, she thought, and she wondered if he hasn’t cheat her back then, if she would have met and fall inlove with Lucian now.
“What are you thinking about”. Lucian asked waking her up from her bed of thoughts.
Seraphina looks at him, and smiles.
“Here, drink this, it’ll relief your shock”. Lucian said giving her a cup of coffee.
Seraphina takes the cup of coffee from him, and sips from it.
“How are you feeling now Sera”. He asked sitting beside her.
“Am fine, thanks to you……but you said you were going to spend the night at your place right, so why did you come back”.
“Because of what you said, you said you’ll miss me if I spend the night at my house, that’s why I came back, and thank God I did”. Lucian said.
And Seraphina smiles.
Lucian looks at her, as she sips the coffee, and what Jaxon said earlier keeps bothering him.
“Sera”
“Yes Lucian”.
“Do you still love Jaxon”. He asked.
And Seraphina looks at him.
“Why’re you asking Lucian”.
“Cos, his probably your first love right, and he claims he’s still in love with you, do you still love him”. Lucian said with his face buried on the floor.
“No I don’t”. Seraphina answers and Lucian looks at her.
“You don’t”.
And Seraphina nods.
“I have no feelings left for him Lucian, even if he claims he still inlove with me I don’t care, what we share before is over and gone”. Seraphina said, and Lucian smiles.
“What about you Lucian”.
“Huh”. He muttered.
“Do you have something to tell me”. She asked.
“Something…like….what”. He asked in return.
“I don’t know, maybe….. something you have been dieing to tell me”.
“I……I…. don’t”.
“You don’t”. Seraphina asked.
And Lucian nods, this is the first time he has ever love a girl in his life, and he never for once knew confessing to a girl will be this hard.
And Come to think of it, she not just some girl, she’s Seraphina Rodrigo, the popular celebrity Singer, and also the face of Australia, he won’t want his tender heart to get broken, if by chance she doesn’t love him back, Lucian thought, inwardly, playing with his fingers, and burying his face to the floor.
Seraphina looks at him, if he can’t make the first move, then she’ll be the first too, she thought, and with that she clears her throat.
“Well I have something to tell you” she said.
And Lucian slowly looks at her.
“Lucian I….”. Seraphina was cut short by the ringing of Lucian’s phone.
“I’ll just answer this, is Aaliyah”. Lucian said, and Seraphina just nods.
“Hello Aaliyah”.
“Where are you Lucian, I went to your room, and you were not there”.
“Am sorry Aaliyah, but I went back to Seraphina’s”.
“Huh, I thought you said you’ll be staying with me tonight”.
“Am so sorry Aaliyah, something came up, and I can’t leave her”.
“Something Came up….., What happened to Her”.
“She’s fine Aaliyah, don’t worry too much, I promise to make it up to you okay…… Alright Aaliyah, good night, I Love you too”. Lucian said.
*He can easily say that three words, so why can’t he say that to me too*. Seraphina said inwardly wearing a frown.
Lucian ended the call and looks at her.
“What do you want to say to me Sera”.
“Is nothing”.
“But you said you have something to say to me”.
“Well, I changed my mind… just go”. Seraphina said frowning.
“What’s wrong Sera, are you mad at me”. Lucian asked.
“No am not, just go, I want to sleep”. Seraphina said and covers herself with the duvet.
“Sera, Sera”. Lucian calls.
But Sera ignores him.

“There’s no point checking Jam, I’ll rank the last that for sure, should I just give up on being a model, and face something else”.
“And what else will you do, nothing good comes easy Van, you have to keep on believing in yourself, and never give up, take me for example, if I have given up, I won’t have being a intern in Militia makeup house, the most famous Makeup house in Sydney”. Jamilia said.

“Is out already”. Jamilia Smiles as she eyes scans through the ranking.
Her eyes went wide open and her jaw dropped.

“I ranked first”. Vance muttered still not believing what he saw.
“Yes you did Van, my best friend, can finally make a debut!!” Jamilia screams in excitement and hugs Vance so tightly.
And a smile slowly appears on Vance’s face.
