A LOVE UNTOLD - CHAPTER 56&57
★★★★★
“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.

“The ranking results will be out today, won’t you check it”. Jamilia asked.
“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.
And Vance smiles.
“Thanks for the encouragement Jam, but I won’t check it”.
“Then I’ll help you, it won’t be out in a minute”. Jamilia said and forcefully took his phone.
“Don’t waste your time on it Jam”. Vance muttered.
“Is out already”. Jamilia Smiles as she eyes scans through the ranking.
Her eyes went wide open and her jaw dropped.
“What with the shock for Jam…..see I told you there was no point checking, I guess is worst this time”. Vace said with a sad face.
“Van….van…you….you”. Jamilia starmmed.
“I what Jam”
“You ranked first in the modelling bar chat”. Jamilia rushly said still looking surprised.
“Huh, I…. what”. Vance said and takes the phone from Jamila, and it was indeed True.
He was the highest, out of all the models that did a photo $h00t in all the modeling industies in Sydney.
“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.
His phone rang, and he quickly swipe the green button.

“A lot of other modelling industies have been calling, it seems they want to have you as their the face of their weekly magazines, you can do it right”.
“Of course I”.
“Then I guess is time for the whole world to know about Vance Vincenzo”. He said.
And Vance smiles.

SERAPHINA’S MANSION***
Lucian’s smiles never left his face, as he watched Vance on TV.
After so many trials, he was finally making a debut, and seeing how he was already being adore and cheered by lots of people, made Lucian so happy.
After the debuting show ended, he quickly calls him, and Vance picks at first Ring.
“Wow, I didn’t know you were going to answer the phone that quickly”.
“Come-on Lucian, you know I won’t be too busy for you right”. Vance said over the phone and Lucian smiles
“Congratulations Best friend, you finally did it”.
“Thanks Lucian”.
“I guess we won’t always have you around, now that you have finally becoming a famous model, seems every modeling industies in Australia and outside Australia wants to have you in their magazines, you finally hit the jackpot best friend”.
“Even so, that doesn’t mean I won’t have time to for you and jam, you both never stopped encouraging me”.
And Lucian smiles.
“There’s party later tonight, to congratulate me on my debuting, I want you to be there”.
“You want me to be there”.
“Yes, you and jam are my best friends, so you should be there”.
“But alot of Celebrities will be there, Celebrities from the singing industies, Movies industries, even the modelling industies, and so many of them, I don’t want to feel Left out”.
“Why will you feel when your the face of Australia’s manager”.
“Is just for the mean time Vance, her real manager will soon wake up anyways”.
“It doesn’t matter Lucian, real or not real, your still her manager, Jam will be there, so I want you to be there too, and if your going to feel Left out, then tag Seraphina along, she always love to hang out with you anyways”.
“Fine, I’ll, congratulations once again Vance”.
“Thanks Lucian, and Make sure you Come okay”.
“Fine… I’ll….bye Vance”. Lucian said, and ended the call.
Lucian sighs, and went to Seraphina’s room, she was just sitted in the bed, looking at his painting.
“Sera”. He muttered.
But Seraphina didn’t look at him, her eyes were just fixed on the painting.
“Sera, can I talk to you”.
“About what”. She asked still not looking at him.
“Are you mad at me, you have been distance towards me”.
And Seraphina kept mute.
“Sera”.
But Seraphina ignores him.
“Is fine, if you don’t want to talk to me”. Lucian said and turns to leave.
And just as he was about to open the door, Sera hugs him from behind.
“Am sorry”. She muttered.
Just because he can’t say those three words to her, doesn’t mean she should be mad at him, she thought inwardly, as she hugs from behind.
Lucian looks at her.
“What’s wrong Sera, why have you been distancing yourself from me”.
*Because am dieing for you to confess your love for me*. Seraphina muttered inwardly, looking at him with Misty eyes.
“Sera, did I do something wrong”. He asked, and Seraphina slowly shakes her head.
“No you didn’t, sorry I acted that way… what do you want to talk to me about.”
“Is about Vance, he finally made a debut as a model”.
“Really, that great”. She said smiling.
“Yeah, and he wants us to be at his party tonight, the party is held to congratulate him on his debut, a lot of other Celebrities will be there, so I was hoping you’ll go with me to the party”.
“I don’t usually go to parties, but since his your best friend, then I will go”.
“Thanks Sera”.
And Sera smiles.
“So are we good now”. He asked.
Seraphina nods, and hugs him.
******
NIGHT ***
At the party, every one kept congratulating Vance for his debut, welcoming him to the Celebrities world, while Jamilia’s eyes fits on the entry of the party.
“Are you waiting for someone”. Vance asked sitting beside her.
Jamilia sighs and said.
“You said Lucian was coming right”.
“Yes he’s”.
“Then why is he not here yet, I don’t want my makeup to get ruined before he gets here”. Jamilia said and continues looking at the entrance.
“Your beautiful with or without makeup Jam”.
“Mmm, what did you say”. Jamilia asked now looking at him.
“Nothing” he said with a smile.
A loud scream followed, as soon as Seraphina enters the party hall with Lucian
?Is the face of Australia
? She’s looking so stunning.
?Her dress is so beautiful.
Jamilia looks at her and scoffs.
“Did you invite her”.
“Yes I did, she’s a celebrity too, the face of Australia, to precised”.
“Wh@??ver Van, I wonder what so especial about her, that even Celebrities too, go crazy over her”.
“That because she’s a damsel Jam, she is a whole package of beauty and talents”.
“Shut up”.
And Vance went Mute.
Lucian and Seraphina approach them, and Jamilia quickly hugged him.
“I Miss you so much Lucian”. She said smiling, while Seraphina just looked away.
Lucian didn’t say a word to her, and broke the hug.
“Congratulations Vance, your now a part of us”. Seraphina said to him smiling, while Jamilia scoffs.
“Thanks Seraphina, and thanks for condoling my party”.
And Seraphina smiles at him, while Lucian looks at her, lost in her beauty, why does it seems she grows more beautiful very day, Lucian thought inwardly, looking at Seraphina as she talks with Vance.
Jamilia who read his facial expression frowns, she put a lot of effort in making herself up, and wearing a fancy dress, but yet Lucian didn’t notice her, all thanks to Seraphina.
The parties continues with them drinking and having fun, but jamilia was not account to that, since she was mad about the closeness of Lucian and Seraphina, and how the rest of the people present in the parties were shipping them, and she thought of something
“Seraphina”.
And Seraphina looks at Jamila.
“Since your the famous singer here, you don’t mind singing a love song for us right….oh I forgot your not into romantic songs right, I wonder why your the face of Australia, when you don’t even have the heart to sing a love song, is not always about beauty, am sure you don’t have a heart, that’s why you can’t sing one right”.
“Milia”.
“What Lucian, am just saying, well if she can’t sing a love song for us, then she shouldn’t be the face of Australia anymore”. Jamilia said.
And everyone began murmuring, and Jamilia smirks.
“You want me to sing a love song…fine I’ll if that what will make you sane again”. Seraphina said and Jamilia looks at her with hatred.
She tries to stand up, but Lucian sits her back.
“What are you doing Sera, you have never sang a Love song before”.
“I can”. Seraphina said and stood up.
And everyone became eager to hear her sing, since she hasn’t never sang a love song before.
Seraphina clears her throat and began to sing, and even without the back up of an auto-tune, her voice was still captivating.
As she sang, she kept an eye to eye contact with Lucian, who keeps smiling at her, and Jamilia became so angry.
It even grew worst, when everyone applause for Seraphina, telling to make a song abulm of the song she just sang.
Jamilia wanted to disgrace Seraphina, but it seems her wicked plans didn’t work, and that made her mad.
The party ended after a little T-chat, and everyone began to go home.
“I will just use the restroom Lucian”. She said as they were about to leave.
“Okay Sera, I’ll just wait for you in the car”. Lucian said.
Seraphina nods and went to restroom, she ease herself and was about coming out from the restroom, when Jamilia block her part.
“What do you want Jamilia”.
“You’re inlove with Lucian right”. She asked.
And Seraphina looks at her.
“Why I’m even asking when I know you love him, I know Lucian is sweet and handsome, and is hard to resist his charms, but your just cooking your heart for a heartbreak”.
“What do you mean”.
“Lucian doesn’t believe in love and it’s fantasy, am sure he has told you about his painful past right, after what his mom did, he vowed never to love anymore”.
“That’s not true Jamilia”. Seraphina muttered.
“If you think am lying then why hasn’t he confess his feelings for you yet, you two just met, so you don’t know everything about Lucian, but I do, since we grew up together, his not the shy type, so if you think Lucian loves you, then your wrong, because Love is just a piece of trash to him, he might act sweet and kind to you, but that doesn’t mean he feels anything for you, his just nice to you, because his favorite kid sister Aaliyah Likes you alot, that why he is always protecting you, because he doesn’t want Aaliyah to be sad…if I were you, I will forget about my feelings for him, cos he doesn’t believe in love”. Jamilia said.
Seraphina looks at her and leaves the restroom.
Jamilia smirks since she knows her words affected Seraphina.
“Oh Sera, your done, can we….”.
“Give me the keys”
“Huh”
“Give me the keys to my car!!”. She yells at him.
“What’s wrong Sera, what with the mood swings”.
Seraphina forcefully took the key, from him, she was about entering the car, when Lucian held her hand.
“Sera, what’s going on”.
Seraphina looks at him, and jerks his hand off.
“From now on, I don’t want to see your stupid face, and I don’t want to talk you, just leave me alone”.
“Sera wh….” Lucian said trying to touch her, but Seraphina landed a slap on his face.
“Sera”. Lucian muttered looking surprised.
“Your a jerk Lucian!!, I h@?? you!!, if you show that handsome face of yours to me again, am going to ki|| you!!!”. Seraphina yells at him angrily.
She enters the car and drove off, leaving Lucian behind.
“What did I do wrong”. He muttered.
