Seraphine's life becomes warped with nothing but bloodshed and emptiness. Her life is about being the White's 'beautiful' daughter and being obedient as the wife of Joshua Michael. But nothing is as beautiful as it is shown to the eyes of the public.

The Wrong Man

With tears brimming my eyes, my heart throbs as I let Aux carry me out of that room to my room without complaining this time. I expected Joshua to get jealous. I did. Idiotically, I wanted him to be regretting everything he did. But he didn't have any remorse. 


Aux tries to lay me in my bed but I can't let go of him for some reason. He's warm and I want to bask in his warmth a bit longer. 


"Mrs. White, you have to let go to be able to lay down, okay?" Aux is basically hovering over me but I shake my head, tightening my hold on him. 


"Please don't leave yet. Just a bit longer." 


Aux reluctantly sighs in resignation and nods. "Don't hate me after this." 


He climbs into bed with me and lets me snuggle close to him without a word. He rubs my back in a circular motion and mutters under his breath, "I still wonder why you're still crying for a guy like him." 


"I'm sorry for being overly emotional," I reply, feeling myself calm down a bit.
