Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 393

For months, her thoughts had been consumed by the desire to see Seraphina again, to confess her past mistakes in

person.

When she bumped into Seraphina by chance that day, she knew that Seraphina was looking for her.

Such a coincidence was too convenient to be accidental, at least from Seraphina’s perspective.

She knew how smart and resourceful Seraphina was.

But their paths crossed just like that.

It took her a lot of effort to come back to Sunburst City from Starhaven. If Bowen found out that Seraphina was

looking for her, he might send her off to some unknown corner of the world, severing their paths forever.

But to her surprise, Bowen was unaware of what happened that night.

Those around her did not tell Bowen about her encounter with Seraphina.

They were betting that Seraphina didn’t see her, that the incident wouldn’t have any repercussions.

In truth, she wasn’t sure whether Seraphina had seen her.

But she saw Seraphina, and that gave her hope.

She started refusing treatment, throwing all her medications down the toilet.

With no other option, they got her new medicine from the hospital and informed Bowen.

Bowen thought she was just emotionally unstable due to her illness. After giving her a sedative, he sent her to the

hospital.

He dared not show up, knowing his presence would only agitate her further.

Lucky for her, and thanks to Seraphina’s intelligence, they finally met at the hospital.

She had no other thoughts in mind, only the thing she had been contemplating for months – she had to tell

Seraphina the truth, a truth that had been delayed for seven years, a truth that she couldn’t postpone any longer.

She hesitated at the last moment, knowing that once she spilled the beans, it could mean the end of their

friendship.

But she had to tell her, and she had to face up to the mistakes she had made.

However, she had overestimated herself.

When Seraphina declared that she would never forgive her, her world collapsed.

She had lost everything, and now, she was about to lose Seraphina too.

It was all her own doing, but she couldn’t bear the consequences.

What hope was left for her life?

She was lost and confused, and on top of that, Bowen had to add salt to her wounds..

Bowen pulled out his phone and showed her a message he had just received.

“Do you see what this is?” he asked in a heavy voice, “Five million dollars, Seraphina paid you back.”

Sandra stared at the message, her soul seemed to have been sucked out of her body.

Bowen sneered, “After all these years, did you ever give her this much? She’s settling the score with you, down to

the last cent. Isn’t that a clear sign that she wants to cut ties with you?”

Tears streamed down Sandra’s face, soaking her pillow.

“So, what expectations do you have for her now?” Bowen gently cleaned the tears from her eyes, “Sandra, you

have no one left. You only have me, do you understand?”

Sandra slowly closed her eyes.

After a long while, she finally spoke, “I’d rather die-”

“Die?” Bowen grabbed her chin, “Because of you, I had to go against the Reynolds Group earlier than planned.

Now, the Reynolds Group has bought most of the Smith Group’s debts and is forcing the Smith Group into

bankruptcy. I’ll soon have nothing left, all because of you. Do you think I’ll let you die?”

He had a complete plan, and she was just a part of it.

But she turned out to be the only unexpected element that disrupted his plan.

How could he let her die?

She could not die in this lifetime.

Bowen forcefully kissed her.

For months, she had been rejecting him in every way possible.

She refused to see him, refused his touch, and rejected all his affection and care.

He wanted nothing more than to ease her pain and distance her from her past, but she was determined to jump

right into it.

Now with Seraphina determined to cut ties with her, she must be in extreme pain.

He didn’t want her to face such a situation, but if she chose this path, there might be a silver lining.

At least, when she lost everything, the only person she could turn to would be him.

But Sandra didn’t seem to realize this. She was still resisting him with all her might. In the struggle, their lips were

cut, and the metallic taste of blood spread between their lips.

Bowen seemed oblivious, continuing to kiss her.

Or perhaps the taste of blood was intoxicating to him, causing him to dive deeper into the kiss.

At five in the afternoon, Valerio was promptly dismissed from school. As expected, he saw Seraphina waiting

outside the school gate.

He was overjoyed, running up to her and grabbing her hand tightly.

“What do you want for dinner?” Seraphina squatted down to his level, “Do you want to eat out, or at home?”

Valerio thought for a moment and chose to eat at the Reynolds Group’s place.

His choice surprised Seraphina, “Why do you want to eat at the Reynolds Group?”

Valerio just smiled without saying a word.

If he felt like he was competing with his dad, Leandro, for Seraphina’s affection before, then he felt like he had won

the competition since yesterday.

That put Leandro in a bit of a pitiful position, especially since he had been under the impression that Seraphina

would be sleeping with him for quite

some time.

While he was thrilled, it was clear that Leandro also yearned for the same intimacy with Seraphina.

But what could be done? After all, it was Seraphina who had chosen him.

So, in Valerio’s mind, the only way to console his dad was to invite Seraphina for dinner.

That was all he could offer, Valerio thought.

Of course, Seraphina had no idea about Valerio’s hidden intentions, but since he had proposed the idea, she was

naturally inclined to indulge him,

Moreover, Valerio finally had his parents, a blessing that was invaluable at his age and stage in life.

Seraphina didn’t want to let him down, so she took him to the Reynolds Group.

Upon arriving at the Reynolds Group, the office was bustling with activity. Despite it being close to the end of the

day, the work atmosphere was still bubbling over with energy.

Leandro was in a meeting, which Keen was stepping out of to handle other matters when he spotted Seraphina and

Valerio. Without a moment’s delay, he turned back into the meeting room to inform Leandro.

Five minutes later, the meeting ended.

When Leandro returned to his office, he found Seraphina cuddling with Valerio on the couch, perusing through the

dinner menu in his office, deciding on their meal for the evening.

For Leandro, the sight was both heartwarming and heartbreaking.
