In his panic, he hopped towards the door, shivering.
The wheels supporting his damaged back legs added to his distress as the sharp sound of heels coming through the door made him turn back again.
His rheumy good eye shot to Adrian while his blind eye twitched nervously.

“You and I, we stick together. Against it all.”Seraphina shifted uncomfortably. “I thought that’s what this is about? To be together in this, so…”She jolted when Adrian reached for her hand.He slowly unfolded it, exposing the ring she had removed, still tightly imprinted against her palm.“I don’t want to break our engagement, Miss Vale,” he said earnestly.She tried to pull her hand back, but he held firm.“Adrian.”“Seraphina.”Resignedly, she sighed, “It’s not the same thing.”<

The hum in her throat was as much of his undoing as the way her dainty fingers trailed his back.Heat swept through him as he held her closer and…“What sort of nonsense is this?!”Seraphina shivered. Whether it was part of the performance or from passion, Adrian had no idea.Then she leaned back and whispered against his lips.“Babe, they’re scaring me.”She batted her lashes so coquettishly that he would have laughed if his guts were not tied in knots.Instead, he turned to the red-faced Geoffrey, saying, “With due respect, father-in-law, I need you to step away.”“This is preposterous. This is…”“Baby, I am feeling so hot,” Seraphina crooned. “I think I should take my top off. Would you help me?”So saying, she already turned her back to him, gesturing at her zipper.Adrian swallowed hard, wondering if she really would dare.“Shameless! You’re beyond saving!” Geoffrey snapped, his face red as tomatoes, as he stalked upstairs.Helena followed right at his heels, saying, “You can’t j

Sarah was already moving before Geoffrey shook himself out of his haze.“Hey, how dare you talk to her like…?”Sarah was almost at the landing.“Where is she taking her?” Helena asked Seraphina.Seraphina shrugged.Helena’s eyes widened. “You… are you sending my daughter to a slaughterhouse? You think you can keep me here? I am going with them!”“Okay,” Seraphina simply said.Helena blinked, clearly expecting a refusal. Then she tossed her hand and immediately rushed out of the door.“I will come back to you,” G

“What the…?”“What’s going on here?” Helena’s voice resounded from the hallway.Coincidental or convenient?Adrian’s thought was interrupted as Helena rushed towards her wailing daughter.She blanched at the sight of blood.Her scream pierced the morning air.“Geoffrey!!!! Honey!!! Seraphina has killed my daughter.”Adrian gave the woman an askance look.Surely Seraphina was just standing some steps away from where Vivian was writhing like a wounded snake, but automatically believing she stabbed her was far-fetched when Helena did

Then he palmed the ring back into her hand.“And I told you this belongs to you. Always and forever.”“I…”“Has anyone ever told you that you look cute when you are being stubborn?”“Adrian.”“Seraphina,” he responded in the same exasperated tone.She pulled her hand away, and he let her.The ring was back on her finger.Score.It took her a second to notice he had slipped it back on.“What…?”

“I let you win.”Adrian gave Seraphina a look and could only tuck his tongue in his cheek.As if expecting a denial from him, she scowled at him when he said nothing.“What?” Adrian asked with a smile.She rolled her eyes and looked towards the window.Behind it, the sky was slowly lightening.They both knew Seraphina had gone in full blaze from the start.Adrian knew she was hellbent on winning this, especially after she had turned to him after they set up and declared.“If I win, you leave.”Adrian had shrug
