Chapter 37 - not here to kill

"What have you done?" a suspicious voice welcomed her as Seraphina exited the room. Jace seemed he just gotten out of the shower and got changed to who knows where from but she could not be bothered of the guy's issue.

"to soothe her mood. Girls stuff." she answered in a trivial manner before going downstairs leaving Jace behind.

Jace quickly checks on Nadine— seeing she was all good with the soothing music combined, Jace for once admitted that the stranger he just met did a good job.

"Alright. Since everything is good. Let's go." Jace said as he made his way to the living room only to see the two who's already at the front door — leaving even without him. He dashed outside to catch up with them.

Seeing the original 1 car that parked in front of Nadine's villa has now another 1 sports car parked behind it, Jace shot a relief look at Alex seeing the Lamborghini Huracan.

Without glancing at his stupid expression, Alex with his cool voice, he spoke.

"your car stinks."

"Ohh Ohh, this guy, who's fault is it in the first place? and how about her?" Jace pointed at Seraphina who is now standing not far from them with an innocent expression on her face. She tilted her head seeing the two gaze at her.

Alex glanced at her, he asked.

"what about her?" he asked disinterestedly.

"where is she going to ride? Your ride can only fit 2 people." Jace said with a matter of factly tone. Seeing Alex look at him in disdain, Jace finally understood —he was betrayed.

"what?! You're choosing her over me? This is not how our love should be!" Jace clasps his hand to his c_h_e_s_t as if he was hurt about the betrayal of his best friend.

Whilst Alex gave him a cold shoulder as though he was not bothered by his friend and got inside his million dollar car.

Jace in disbelief stamped away to his car not minding Seraphina who was silent the whole time then he sped off on his own.

"Hop in." Alex said as he turns down the passenger seat window.

Seeing no reaction from her, he thought she was just acting up thus when he was about to speak again, he was abruptly stopped as he saw her move— she leaned towards the window and spoke.

"Get your friend back here."

Unlike her indifference she displayed the whole time, there was an unspeakable aura surrounding her making him follow her command. Unconsciously, he grabs his phone and dialed Jace number but Jace was not picking up his call —probably due to Alex 'betrayal'.

Then, suddenly, Seraphina entered his car as she commands him,

"Drive, now!" The urgency of her voice made Alex's heart pound as he steps on the gas pedal involuntarily. He too was surprised by his action and was confused at the same time, it was as if his body was not his —he does whatever she commands without knowing the reason.

"Where to?" getting his composure, he asked.

"back to that girl's house."

"..." Driving his car at its top speed, they almost reached the Villas guardhouse yet, she wanted to go back to where they came from? Was she messing with him? Glancing at her solemn expression and noticed her unbuckled seat belt —Alex did not utter a word as he made a drift and head back to Nadine's house.

Couple blocks away from the house, they came to a halt as per Seraphina's instruction. Leaving Alex in a hurry, she spoke.

"wait here." as she turns around, she heard the man speak with his husky voice,

"you better give me a reasonable reason for this."

without giving him a second glance, Seraphina continued her way back to Nadine's home.

Since they left a couple of minutes ago, Jace locked the main entrance, hence, she searched for an entrance through the house. Luckily, the supposed closed windows were now slightly open as the night breeze swayed its silk curtain.

Seraphina as if walking on air, making zero sound, strode to the half-opened door of Nadine's bedroom.

Reaching the door, she languidly peeked at the situation inside and as expected, someone was also there. Since it was all dark, it was hard for anyone to distinguish the person's face but not his action.

The man withdrew a small tablet from his jacket and revealed a syringe from it. He carefully made his way to his target, ready to inject the lethal drug yet he failed to do so as he was petrified by the cold, sharp knife placed in the left side of his neck while a pin as thin as a needle was perched 4 cm in his right eye.

The man gulped as he felt the presence of a true demon from the person behind him. Its either slitting his neck or poking his eye with who knows what's in that pin- he knew from his experience that one wrong move, he will definitely die.

The bloodl_u_s_t that Seraphina emitted was suffocating as if Satan himself manifested in her finding the p_l_e_a_s_u_r_e of his fear —he tried to conceal but his shoulder kept trembling, betraying him.

Then and there, after having too many life and death situations, the man never felt this horrified in his life. As if a piece of meat in a chopping board, he felt regrets and remorse. Who would have thought that his last mission would be his literally last, he thought.

Attempting to retaliate for the last time, but before he could do so, a melodious voice of a woman whispered in his ear giving his whole body goosebumps as it only added to the intense bloodl_u_s_t Seraphina emitted.

"Shh. behave, mate. I'm not here to kill."
