SERAPHINA’S MANSION***
“Are you sure you want to go to the dinner party”. Paisley asked as she helps Seraphina Park her hair in a ponytail.
“All celebrities will be there, so I have to go too, not like am going to start a conversation with anyone there”.
“But Yasmeen will be there too Seraphina”.
“And so what if my stupid cousin attends, am not afraid of her”. Seraphina said.
“I know that Seraphina, but I don’t want you to start a world war 3 with her”.
“Am not the one who always starts the fight Paisley and you know that, that stupid cousin of mine always annoys me”.
“And you know why right, she’s jealous about your success, you both are singers but you are more popular than her, and your songs are always the top trending songs that’s why she h@??s you”.
“And ion like her either, she just a whole full of headaches, and if she tries anything crazy I won’t think twice of showing her crazy”.
“She’s order than you Seraphina”.
“Who cares, she wants to be treated like a child, so I Seraphina won’t hesitate to treat her like one”. Seraphina said.
Paisley sighs and held Seraphina’s hands.
“Please Seraphina, just ignore her today, no matter what she does, don’t let her get to you, Ion want another fight between you and Yasmeen to be uploaded on the internet, promise you will ignore Yasmeen still the entire dinner party is over”.
Seraphina looks at Paisley for a while and said.
“Fine I’ll”.
And Paisley let out a smile.
“But is not a promise, I might beat her the rainbow colours if she tries anything stupid”.
“Seraphina”.
“Continues with what your doing Paisley, and let’s stop talking about Yasmeen”. Seraphina said.
Paisley looks at her and sighs.

QUARRYMAN’S HOTEL***
Paisley pulls the car to a halt when they arrive at the venue.
“Do you want me to go in with you”.
Seraphina looks at her and shakes her head.
“You don’t have to Paisley, I can manage”.
“Are you sure about that”.
“Yes I’m, you might be older than me, but am not a kid, I’ll make it snappy so you will be able to go to your date”.
Paisley smiles and said.
“And one more thing, don’t start a fight with Yasmeen okay”.
“geuleolgeyo ( I will )”. Seraphina said.
“Huh, what does that mean”.
Seraphina looks at Paisley and smiles, before getting down from the car.
“I wonder what she said….she always speaks Korea anytime she doesn’t want me to know a thing, should I start learning Korea because of her”. Paisley said taking in her lower lips.
Flashes of tons of cameras flashed on Seraphina’s face, as she made her way inside.
She was putting on a shiny silver handless gown which stopped right on her knees, and the Dior bag and heels she was wearing match perfectly with her gown.
She was wearing a light make-up, but she was looking so beautiful even more prettier than the goodness of beauty.
Seraphina enters the grand Hall, and the other Celebrities who attended couldn’t stop but admire her beauty.
She sits in one of the chairs in the grand hall, and the moment she did, a group of other Celebrities approach her.
“Hi Seraphina”. They said at once waving at her.
Seraphina looks at them and gave out a fake smile.
“Your looking so beautiful as always Seraphina, do you mind if we sit with you”. One of them asked
“Kkeojyeo (get lost)”. She muttered.
“What do you say”. The seven of them asked at once looking at her.
Seraphina looks at them and let out a fake smile.
“It means sure you can”. Seraphina said.
And they excitedly sits with her.
And in no time, different kinds of dishes were served on their table.
“So Seraphina, how does it feels to be born from two different countries”. One of them asked.
Seraphina sighs and said.
“Dakcheyeo (shut up)”
“Huh”
“Great”. Seraphina said with a fake smile, and she wish they could just disappeared from her sight.
“I really do admire you alot Seraphina, although we’re celebrities but you’re the most popular and famous one here, and your beautiful too, I guess this is what you gain from being a descendent of two counties right”.
Seraphina looks at them and nods her head.
Yasmeen enters the dinning Hall, looking all ?îtçhy like always, she sight Seraphina with some other celebrities and she smirks before Walking to their table.
“Hi everyone one”. Yasmeen said and sits in the empty chair, facing Seraphina, and the moment Seraphina saw her, her angry grew.
“Why Seraphina, ain’t you happy to see your older cousin”.
“And why I should be happy to see someone like you Yasmeen, seeing you makes me wanna throw up”. Seraphina said.
And Yasmeen smile.
“Then if I irritate you so much, then start throwing up”.
“I rather go home than talk to an insect like you Yasmeen”. Seraphina said, she stood to her feet to leave, but the others who were present ealier stop her.
“Don’t go yet Seraphina, and you Yasmeen, if you’re here to cause trouble, is best you should leave”.
“Fine I won’t, I was just joking, the beauty face of Australia shouldn’t be angry by a mere joke right”. Yasmeen said looking at Seraphina.
Seraphina held her fist, the last thing she’ll ever accept was to be defected by her so called cousin.
“Of course not Yasmeen”. She fakes a smile and sits down, which made the others so Happy, and Yasmeen wasn’t happy with the fact that even famous celebrities are over heels for Seraphina.
“So tell me Seraphina, why on Earth don’t you sing romantic songs, all your songs ablums are based on yourself and about life”. Yasmeen said.
Seraphina takes in a deep breath in and out and said.
“That’s because I don’t sing what I don’t believe in Yasmeen”.
Yasmeen scoffs and said.
“Really, or maybe is because your a loner”.
“Your right am loner, but I sing what exist in the real world unlike you who sing about romance and S*x, now I see why are ain’t that famous, you exposed your body on cameras just for nothing, because no matter what you do, you can never be campared to me, and you know why, because your a looser Yasmeen”.
And Yasmeen could see the others nodding their heads in agreement, and she fums in anger.
“How dare you say that to my face Seraphina, take back your words now!!”. She yells thereby attracting the others.
“What I said is true Yasmeen, so why should I take back my words, when is clearly true, your one of the biggest looser here in Australia”. Seraphina said.
“You animal, am going to ki|| you!!” Yasmeen yells, she tries to slap Seraphina, but Seraphina caught her hand before it could land in her face.
Seraphina bends her hand before pushing her away, and Yasmeen fell hitting a waiter who was carrying a huge cake in his hand, and the entire cake fall on Yasmeen face and body.
“I never wanted to start any fight with you Yasmeen, but since you choose to, I just gave you what you ask for”. Seraphina said and leaves.
“Am going to ki|| you Seraphina!!”. Yasmeen yells.
She looks at the other Celebrities and they were all looking at her, murmuring to one another and the reporters didn’t stop taking photos of her.
“Stop taking photos of me!!”. She yells feeling so embarrassed.

“Am sure Seraphina has a problem of her own, no one does things without a reason”.
“And how sure are you”.
“You for example, you don’t believe in love because of what dad has to go through because of mom right, she left….”

SERAPHINA’S MANSION***
“Your fight with Yasmeen is trending nonstop, I told you to ignore her didn’t I”.
“I couldn’t help it Paisley, you know how much I h@?? Yasmeen and her Mom”.
“But you should have controlled yourself Seraphina”.
“The deal is done, and it can’t be changed, you should go for your date”. Seraphina said.
“What about you, will you be okay”.
“Is there a day I was ever okay, just go for your date, wh@??ver this leads to am going to solve it myself”.
“Are you sure” Paisley asked, and Seraphina nods her head, closing her eyes.
Paisley looks at her before leaving the room.
Few minutes after Paisley left, Seraphina could hear loud voices from downstairs.
She woke up and stood up from the bed and went downstairs, only to see her so called Aunt shouting out her name.
“Seraphina!!, Seraphina!!, you daughter of a ?îtçh, Come out from your room!!”. Madelyn yells, as the maids try to prevent her from going upstairs.
Seraphina sighs and came downstairs.
“And why is a mad woman like you disturbing my privacy”. Seraphina asked.
Madelyn walks up to her and slaps her so hard on the face.
“Who ever gave you the right to call my daughter a loser who do you think you are!!”. She yells at her.
Seraphina swipe her hair to the back.
“Hey Madelyn, did you just slap me”
“Yes I did Seraphina, you had my daughter disgraced you bastard!!”
“Your daughter choose to disgrace herself, I just helped her with it, she’s indeed a loser”. Seraphina said.
And Madelyn slaps her again, and Seraphina falls to the floor, and the maids gasps in shock.
“Your the bigger looser here Seraphina, you may be more popular and famous than Yasmeen, but I know how much your craving for a family”.
And Seraphina looks her, she blink back the tears in her eyes and stood to her feet.
“And you ever told you I want a family”. She asked trying to be strong, even though she was dieing inside.
“Because ever since your parents died when you just five years old, you have always wanted to become a part of the family right, you begged us to take you in”.
“But you didn’t right, you never wanted me!!”. Seraphina yells.
“That’s because you ain’t a part of the family Seraphina, you may bear the name Rodrigo, but you’ll never be part of our family!”
“I also don’t want to become part of so your called family, and if Yasmeen cherish her reputation so much, she should think twice before approaching me”. Seraphina said and turns to Walk away, and Madelyn pulls her by the hair.
“Let go of me Madelyn”. Seraphina said trying to break free from her.
“Am warning you Seraphina, the next time you disgrace my daughter in such manner, I won’t hesitate to ki|| you myself!!”. Madelyn yells and pushed Seraphina to the floor, and storms out of the house.
“Ma, are you alright”. The maids asked.
Seraphina quickly Cleans the tears in her eyes, she stands to her feet wearing a Cold face.
“Your all fired!!” She yells and went to her room.
Seraphina sits in the bed and the scenes of 20 years ago keeps appearing to her.
“Aunt please let me stay with you all, I have no where to go please”. Little Seraphina begged crying.
“No Seraphina, I’ll never let you live with us”.
“But we’re family Aunt, you already took everything my parents owned, at least let me stay with you please”. Seraphina said crying.
“You ain’t a part of my family Seraphina”.
“But I have no where to go Aunt, please let me stay with you please”.
“I don’t care if you sleep in the street Seraphina, or if you want you can join your parents in the land of the dead, you should have died with them when they had that accident!”. Madelyn halfyells at her and slammed the door against Seraphina.
And she continues knocking on the door crying.
The tears which she has been holding slowly falls down her eyes, not even Paisley has seen her cry, because she has always acted so strong.
*you ain’t a part of the family Seraphina, you may bear the name Rodrigo, but you’ll never be part of our family!* Madelyn voice echoes in her ear, and more tears falls down her eyes.
She opens the drawer, and took the picture of her parents, caressing their faces.
“eomma, appa, bogo sip-eoyo (mom, dad, I miss you)”. Seraphina muttered, she placed the picture frame in her chest, sniffing back her tears.
