Seraphina didn't rush out of Keystone Manufacturing immediately.
Nor did she head upstairs to the shareholder meeting. Her heart was hammering against her ribs, but she forced herself to stay calm. Her first move was to order a rapid delivery of pregnancy tests. There was no way she was marching into Sebastian's office without absolute certainty.
Once the courier handed over the discreet package, she locked herself in a stall.
She took the test three separate times.
And all three times...
Two solid pink lines.
Staring at the undeniable proof in her hands, her grip tightened, a cold, desperate resolve settling over her features. Even if this baby wasn't Sebastian's, it was her trump card—the ultimate leverage.
It would be a complete waste not to weaponize it.
The initial dread she felt slowly melted away.
Clutching the tests in her designer bag, she finally walked out of the building.
During her delay, Keystone's administration had tried to reach her, warning that her tardiness meant she was officially forfeiting her voting rights.
Seraphina couldn't care less.
The moment she stepped outside, she dialed Sebastian's number.
It rang endlessly without an answer.
She didn't have time to wait around. She flagged a car and headed straight for the Croix Holdings tower.
Fortunately, the headquarters wasn't far, located right in the heart of the Central Business District. Given the time of day, Sebastian was practically guaranteed to be in his office.
On the way over, she texted Blanche the results.
She also brought up the one thing gnawing at her sanity: "My pregnancy is the perfect turning point. But if Cameron finds out, he won't let it go. I'm terrified he's going to ruin everything between Sebastian and me."
After all, a pregnancy left a paper trail. It wasn't something she could just brush under the rug.
And no one in the Croix family was easily fooled.
She instinctively glanced around.
Thank god the morning rush was over; the lobby was relatively empty.
Cameron scoffed at her sudden display of modesty, his expression turning cold and mocking. "Oh, I see. You're already acting like my future sister-in-law? You really don't know your place, do you?"
He didn't bother hiding his contempt.
Sure, Sebastian might care about Seraphina. He might even love her.
But the Croix family wasn't a one-man show.
Their grandfather would never tolerate a woman like Seraphina crossing their threshold.
She was lucky the old man was out of the country. If he were here, this little affair between her and his perfect older brother wouldn't last a month before she and the entire Vance family were erased from the Kingsford elite circles permanently.
His insult made Seraphina's eyes narrow in fury. "I suggest you keep some dignity. You went to prison. I was under no obligation to wait for you."
"True," Cameron sneered, leaning in closer. "So you aimed higher and decided to play the whore instead. When you were with me back then, you were already gunning for my brother, weren't you?"

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...
