Good Girl Gone Bad: Queen Of The Underworld - Chapter 367
Seraphina was momentarily stunned by his sincere request. She didn’t anticipate this kind of response or rather, she wasn’t ready to hear it as of yet. She had always been avoiding having a glimpse of Dragon’s heart but he was always opening it to her.
He had been saying stuff like this as if it requires their utmost importance which slightly irked Seraphina. Of all the people, Dragon should have known that it wasn’t her priority — them? Getting back together like nothing happened? He should know because she explained the memories she had experience.
Even though Seraphina did just see the future occurrence, alas, in her heart, she experienced it first hand; as if it did happen. The pain, the torment, the memories of that man touching every corner of her body… it was all engraved on her mind and heart.
Hence, how could she not feel restless about it? How could she put her romantic feelings first before the safety of her remaining family members? She lost enough and she doesn’t want to lose more! Even if it means neglecting the feelings she had with Dragon, she would if it’ll going on her way.
“The decision of letting you wander around here was a wrong decision.” Seraphina gritted her teeth as she abruptly stood up which caused turbulence on the table producing a ‘clang’ sound of the rattled plates and utensils.
“Leave.” Seraphina firmly commanded before she turned her body and was about to leave.
“Why are you so damn stubborn? Sure, I f*cked your cousin and you can never forgive me for that but, what are you going to lose if you asked for help; my help? The thing is, even if we could never get back together — I promised Gramps that I will protect you! Sera, what is it so hard to ask someone or at least let your family know what’s inside there?” Dragon burst out as he aggressively stood and spat his disp_l_e_a_s_u_r_e towards her obvious avoidance of his presence.
Sure, Dragon might d_e_s_i_r_e to win her heart and reconcile with her, alas, if she showed that it was a lost cause, then, he’ll stop from doing these stunts. Moreover, what irked him with her personality is her, bottling everything to herself and won’t ask for help. She always wanted to protect and solve the problems of her so-called family, alas, she won’t even take them as her outlet.
“Don’t you ever, use Gramps as an excuse.” This time, Seraphina turned her head back to Dragon as she warned him. However, to her surprise, unlike Dragon’s aggressive tone, his eyes tell her otherwise. Pain and desperation filled his eyes as he peered back at her which slightly clenched her heart to bits.
“Why shouldn’t I? That’s the only excuse I could come up with to keep a close watch on your reckless plans.”
“Then don’t make any excuses. Just leave, get out.” Despite the invisible dagger that pierced her heart, Seraphina looked away as she spat the last shred of mercy she could give Dragon.
She couldn’t let him break her. If she does let her feelings get into all these chaotic situations, how could she keep her head clear? It would be best if they go on their separate ways and do whatever they should do. In that case, Seraphina would be more relieved. Knowing Dragon’s temperament, none would touch him without shedding their own blood.
But if he stayed with her like this, he would have to worry himself on her every move and every operation she would partake. He knew her very well — he knew that she would go on the front line and be the spear and shield of her confidants with every mission.
After Sebastian Yue’s death, Seraphina lost all reason to fight. What’s the point? The person she always wanted to protect and the last shred of sanity she held on was gone hence, Seraphina also forgets her initial revenge.
After all, she already secured her grandfather’s company. The company he established by his blood and sweats were now in the hands of a more fitting leader thus, Seraphina was left with no reason why would she have to kill the person who tortured her to death in the previous life?
That man, whoever he was, failed to kill her grandfather. So, whatever he did to her, she could just forget about it and moved on.
Seraphina indeed sulked in the first month after Sebastian Yue’s death. However, in the mid of the second month, she had a dream. A dream that took place two years ago that caused the abrupt paused with her connection with Dragon.
When she woke up, Seraphina was reminded that there were also powerful organizations who wanted her head and would go to the extent of harming everyone around her, including her trusted confidants. From that day onwards, her initial reason for revenged was changed.
Seraphina was delved with her own thoughts that she momentarily dropped her guards which made her unaware of the incoming Dragon. In that instant, Dragon held both of her shoulders and looked at her earnestly.
“Tell me to scram and cut all ties with me while looking at my eyes. If you do, I’ll leave you alone.”
Seraphina breathed heavily as she looked at him directly in the eye. For a second she just stared at him like that with an indiscernible glint in her eyes. She was determined. She had lied more than a person can in their life hence, what Dragon was asking was a piece of cake.
“Sc–” Alas, even before she could even construct her words, his thin red lips crashed into hers — stopping her words from coming out.
