He left her standing alone amidst the wreckage of her reality.
Seraphina's head throbbed violently.
Her mind raced.
That night.
She was absolutely certain she had spiked Sebastian's drink.
She had watched him swallow it.
To make her own act convincing, she had even consumed a tiny fraction of the drug herself. But she hadn't anticipated the dosage being so overwhelmingly potent, muddying her senses to the point where she couldn't even tell the man in her bed wasn't Sebastian.
So...
Where was Sebastian that night?
He had consumed the laced drink. Where did he go?
Did some other woman reap the benefits of her scheming?
But when she had tested the waters with him afterward, he hadn't denied being with her.
Or perhaps.
He really did sleep with someone else, but mistakenly believed it was her? Was that why he played along when she brought it up?
There were too many horrifying possibilities.
It was enough to drive Seraphina mad.
She wasn't terrified of having slept with Cameron.
After all, she had crossed lines like that before.
What terrified her was not knowing where she stood with Sebastian. The sheer unpredictability had her shivering in dread.
But one thing was certain.
Since that night, Sebastian had treated her just as well as always.
Surely...
Taking a ragged breath, Seraphina immediately dialed Blanche. "Mom, we need to fly back to Kingsford right now. I have to see Sebastian. There's been a massive complication..."
At least her status as The Yves Family's long-lost daughter was secure.
She didn't need to waste a single drop of sweat on that front.
Right now, salvaging her grip on Sebastian was her only priority.

Meanwhile.
Raelynn called Dr. Evelyn Hayes to let her know she was safe.
The esteemed elder had been worried sick.
Repeatedly pleading with her to stay cautious.
It brought a comforting warmth to Raelynn's chest.
Remembering how deeply the chairwoman cherished that particular painting, Raelynn offered, "Whenever you have the time, I'd love to take you by my shop to verify if it's truly a genuine piece by Edouard Yves."
It was their enduring guilt toward the lost child that had prevented Sylvia from ever officially marrying into the family. She was meant to pay penance for the girl's displaced life.
And Seraphina...
Clearly had no intention of ever accepting her.
-
After reassuring Evelyn.
Raelynn received a call from Preston Moreno.
NexusMind Technologies was receiving a massive surge in pre-orders for their surgical robots. Securing a monumental overseas deal had effectively kicked the doors wide open for them in the North American market.
She needed to head back and map out the next operational phases.
A crucial step in that process was locking down the component suppliers. Since she was now in charge of Longstride Technologies, she could authorize their end directly, but she still needed to hammer out the finer details with Keystone Manufacturing.
As for the kidnapping.
That was a messy thread she'd have to untangle slowly.
With zero concrete evidence, relying on the authorities was a dead end. She needed to dig deeper on her own.
The moment she returned to Kingsford.
Raelynn immediately scheduled a sit-down with Keystone Manufacturing's executives.
On the other side of town.
The second Seraphina's flight touched down, she frantically dialed Sebastian's number.

No, no, no! Sebastian needs to nip the Zella situation and win Raelynn back! Also, Leo, he is a wildcard for Sebastian's master plan... Sebastian- we know you know, what we know, win your family back!...
I thought now Sebastian and Raelynn will be together now that seraphina is not but you are not letting them to be. Two new female around Sebastian 😭...
I think Ian is sly. He is not what he seems. Sebastian loves Raelyn and they have a daughter together. Besides he has no family to even take care of him. I feel Raelyn should realise that Sebastian is only her true love and go back to him....
The croix family is evil...
