SERAPHINA’S MANSION***
Seraphina sits in the bed, as she looks at the painting smiling.
Paisley enters her room and sighs.
“Ain’t you tired of looking at the painting, you have been doing that since you got back”.
“Is my eyes not yours”. Seraphina said and continues looking at the painting smiling.
Paisley sits in the bed, and fixed her gaze on Seraphina.
“Whoever the artist of this painting is, I need to see him, and if I have to go down on my knees to thank him, I will surely do it”.
“Why”.
“Because ever since I became your manager, this is the first time I have seen you being attracted to something”.
“That because it has meaning, I think Lucian must have faced some challenges while growing up, just like me, this will be my condolences from now on”. Seraphina said placing the painting in her chest smiling.
“So his name is Lucian”.
“Yes Paisley, his name is just as beautiful as his paintings, I hope he’s able to get the note I drop for him”.
“You dropped a note”.
Seraphina looks at Paisley and nods.
“Yes, and I hope he calls me”.
“You drop your number”.
And Seraphina nods.
“Awwwwwwn the great Seraphina Rodrigo is finally inlove”. Paisley said giggling.
Seraphina took one of the pillows and hit her with it.
” Ashw What was that for”. Paisley whined like a baby.
“That because your being a coward again, love my foot, I just want to meet him because I really admire his artwork and nothing else”.
“Really”.
“Yes Paisley, what were you thinking…..I only like his artwork and not him, stop being delusional”.
“Fine I won’t, so are you preparing for the nomination award”.
“No I won’t, there’s nothing to prepare anyway, a girl with talent don’t need to stress herself”. Seraphina said and continues looking at the painting.
“Is so beautiful”. She muttered Smiling.
Paisley looks at her and smile, she was happy even is an artwork, at least it made Seraphina smile sincerely.

FRIDAY~GALLARY***
Lucian walks around the gallary looking at some of the artworks he has made, and when he couldn’t find his artwork about life, his jaw dropped.
“Did someone bought it already”. He muttered taking in his lips.
“Lucian”. The manager called and Lucian turns to face him.
“Is so good to finally see you here, is been long since you last drop by”.
“Sorry Mr Brown, have being busy lately, looks like someone finally bought one of my artwork”. Lucian said pointing at the shieves.
“Yes, it was as bought by a girl three days ago, it seems you inspire her with your artwork, she wants to see you Lucian”.
“Really”.
“Yes, she also ask me to give this to you”. The manager said giving him the note.
Lucian looks at the note for a while before taking it from him.
“Thanks Mr Brown”. Lucian said with a smile.
He smiles and leaves.
Lucian opens the note, and his glance through the lines of the note.
✍️Hi Lucian, i just want to say am a big fan of your drawing, it inspires me a lot and if is okay by you, I’ll like us to meet, call me anytime your less busy~your fan.
Lucian smiles after reading the short note, and without hesitation, he quickly Dial the number in the note.
Seraphina picked after the first four rings.
“Hello who’s this”. She asked, as the make-up artist applied makeups on her, since she’s preparing for the award nomination event.
“Hello, this is Lucian”. He said.
And the moment Seraphina heard the name Lucian, she sat up properly.
“Really”.she asked with a smile.
“Yes, you left a note for me, saying you want to see me”.
“Yes I did”. She answers
“So is it okay with you, if we meet today”.
“Mmmm, am kinda busy…..but let’s meet at the coathanger, the Sydney Harbour bridge at 9 O’Clocklock this evening, will you be free by then”.
“Yes I’ll, so see you at 9 O’Clock”.
“Sure”. Seraphina said and ended the call, she looks at her phone and smile.
“Ain’t you done yet”. She asked.
“Not yet”.
“Then be fast about it”. Seraphina said.
Lucian chuckles with a smile after Seraphina ended the call.
“She has a nice voice, I didn’t get to ask her, her name, maybe I will do that when we meet later”. Lucian said and smile.
******
Screams and cameras lights filled the whole grandhall, as people couldn’t wait for the show to begin.
The speaker for the day Came up on stage and introduce himself to the crowd as also the nominators who were present to give out the reward for this year, and Mr Robert was present too.
The event in no time began, and singers came up on stage to perform their songs, Yasmeen wasn’t left out.
And a lot of people couldn’t wait to see Seraphina on stage.
“Isn’t it my turn yet”. Seraphina asked checking the time.
“Not yet Seraphina, I guess they want the audience to stay to the very end, because they know they might leave after seeing you”.
Seraphina looks at her and sighs.
“But why are you in a hurry to leave anyway”.
“I already told you am meeting up with Lucian, is already 9 0’clock, maybe I should just dished this, after all I have won countless of rewards, not having this year’s reward won’t remove a year in my life”. Seraphina said and made to leave, but Yasmeen walks in.
“Are you leaving”. She asked.
“Is none of your business Yasmeen”.
“Are you backing out because you know am going to win”.
“And what makes you think your going to win”.
“Because my performance was a Banga, I have back up too, so I think you should leave inorder to avoid the shame when am nominated as best singer of the year”. Yasmeen said.
Seraphina looks at her and folds her fist, if she leaves now, Yasmeen will see her as a loser, and that’s what she won’t ever allowed.
“Fine Yasmeen, let the best head wear the crown”. Seraphina said with a mean smile.
And Yasmeen smirks shaking her head.
Seraphina was called upon on stage, and even before she came up on stage, everyone was already screaming her name, stating her much they love her.
And to top it all, she was looking so beautiful.
Together with her dance clue, she perform one of her songs title “PRETTY SAVAGE”.
And everyone keeps screaming and cheering her, which made Yasmeen so pissed off.
The event ends, and the four nomitors came up on stage to announce who gets the Grammy.
And Yasmeen was smiling so proudly ready to get the award.
But all her smiles and proudness dropped when Seraphina was given the Grammy as the best singer of the year.
And the screams of the audiences could nearly bring down the building.
Other Celebrities singers congratulate Seraphina, expect for Yasmeen who keeps ki||ing Mr Robert with her eyes, and to make it worst, he wasn’t looking her way.
***
Seraphina quickly entered the car, after the show ended, the Grammy wasn’t even important to her, she just wants to show Yasmeen that she’ll never be able to beat her.
“Quickly Pailsey, start the car already, let’s see if we can still meet him there”. Seraphina said.
“Alright Seraphina, no need to be so buggy”. Pailsey said and starts the car.
Yasmeen sees them leaving, and she quickly followed them, she wants to devour Seraphina so badly, she couldn’t do that inside because her fans were present.
***
Lucian after waiting for Seraphina and didn’t see any sign of her thought she won’t come anymore.
He has recall her several times, but it wasn’t going through.
“I guess she’s not coming anymore”. Lucian muttered.
He looks at the sky, and it seems it was going to rain, so he decided to go home.
And few minutes after he left, Seraphina came to the coathanger with Paisley, she search around for him, but couldn’t see a glimpse of him.
“I guess he left already Seraphina”.
Seraphina sighs and ran her hand through her hair.
“This is all Yasmeen’s fault, if she hasn’t insisted on winning the Grammy I would have left a long time ago, maybe I will have caught up with him”. Seraphina said.
“You can call him tomorrow Seraphina, is late already, and it seems is going to rain, you already know your phobia with rain right”.
Seraphina looks at her and sighs.
“Fine, let’s go home”. Seraphina muttered.
“Seraphina!!!!”. Yasmeen yells walking up to her.
“And what the heck to you want”. Seraphina asked.
“You Animal!!!”. Yasmeen screams and pushed Seraphina.
Seraphina back hits the steel Arch bridge, and her bag fall into the water as a result of that.
“What the heck is your problem!”.
“Your my problem Seraphina, you keep ruining things for me!!”.
“Are you so mad that I won this year singer award, I thought you were so confident about winning so what happened…..you should know by now that you won’t be able to beat me no matter what you do”. Seraphina said and tries to walk away.
But Yasmeen drag her back and push her again.
Seraphina head hit the steal Arch bridge and she pass out immediately.
“Seraphina”. Pailsey said and quickly went to Seraphina.
“What have you done to Seraphina!!”. Paisley yells at Yasmeen, when she sees the blood dozing out from Seraphina’s Head.
