Unloved Unwanted Unstoppable (Seraphina and Dominic) novel Chapter 51

The car pulled out of the parking lot and merged into traffic.

Seraphina Sinclair leaned against the seat, looking at the crystal trophy next to her, but her mind was replaying what just happened.

Cynthia Ross fell to the ground, and Dominic Lockwood crouched down to help her, his movements as natural as a physical instinct.

She closed her eyes.

The past flooded back.

College days, the best design academy in Northport.

Her background was somewhat complicated.

The Lennox family were her biological parents, a prominent family in Northport, but she had gone missing at age five and grew up in the Sinclair family, only to be recognized after she came of age.

The Sinclair family was ordinary, but her adoptive parents treated her well, and her brother, Zachary Sinclair, protected her.

It was just that her adoptive father's health had always been poor, and the family basically spent all their savings on his medical bills, incurring a lot of debt.

But when she got into the design academy, the Sinclairs still scraped together her tuition.

As for the Lennox family, she never felt a sense of home there.

During college, hardly anyone knew she was the true daughter of the Lennox family.

She didn't want to flaunt her status; she just wanted to study hard.

Her college life was supposed to be very peaceful.

Cynthia was in her class, the most dazzling one.

Good background, good looks, decent grades. Everyone revolved around her.

They called her the campus belle, a goddess, saying she had a great personality.

Seraphina initially thought she was quite nice.

Until the first final exams, when the results came out: Seraphina was first, Cynthia second.

That day, Cynthia walked past her, her gaze cold.

"Seraphina. I won't always lose to you."

Seraphina was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Good luck with that."

From then on, Seraphina didn't take it to heart.

That was the first time she knew what it felt like to like someone.

But she quickly hid it away.

Because Cynthia stood beside him.

She saw their photo together on the forum, stared at it for a long time, then closed the page and forced all her thoughts back to her studies.

Over time, that flutter really faded, becoming a small regret she only thought of occasionally.

She thought she had moved on.

In her junior year, Dominic's family business ran into trouble.

Rumors outside said the Lockwood Group might go bankrupt, and the once bustling Lockwood family suddenly became deserted.

The forums were full of discussion threads, some gloating, some sighing in pity.

Cynthia was still by his side then.

At least on the surface.

At the class party before graduation, Dominic came too.
