**Seraphina**
I woke up to the sound of my alarm, got down from bed, had my bath and brushed my teeth, after that I wore my uniform and went downstairs and sat at the dining for my breakfast while eating I saw my dad coming down the stairs
"Sera, how are you this morning", he said but I just ignored him
"Sera, I know it's hard for you right now after what happened yesterday but sweetie what I want is the best for you", he said but I just wiped my mouth clean with my napkin and got up ready to leave, just as I was about to walk out I heard my dad's loud voice
"Sera, you can't just walk out on me, I'm still your father, do you think it's easy for me after everything I've done and sacrificed for you, you want to walk out" he shouted
I stood frozen in place because this is the first time after a long time that my dad shouted at me, slowly tears dripped from my eyes and I just ran out of the house not giving my dad to say anything further, I saw my driver waiting for me ready to take me to school
"Miss, are you okay?" he asked
"Let's go" I said ignoring his question and he didn't ask any further
**Charles**
I knew I overreacted but it was out of anger, I got a call from Carten
"Boss, we have found out his hideout" Carten said
"Ok, send me the location, I'll be there in a minute" I told and grabbed my car keys and left the house
**Seraphina**
When I got to school I cleaned my eyes and reapplied makeup, I got down from the car and went inside the school, I looked around but I couldn't find my best friend Riley, usually she got to school before me, maybe something kept her up, I went to my locker and picked the books I needed for that day when Liam approached me, I looked at him with a board expression I was seriously not ready for his tactics today
"What is it a Liam" I asked him
"And what is wrong with the preety lady today" he said
"I don't have time for your bullshit right now so if you would please excuse me" I said and was about to leave when I overheard someone saying
"Have you seen the news" the person said
"No, which news is that" the other person said
" The entire Jones family was found dead this morning" the person said
I stood frozen in place because Riley surname was Jones, I quickly checked my phone for any news and was utterly devastated when I found out it was Riley's family, that meant Riley was not spared
"Sera, what happened" Liam asked me when he noticed my expression but I just ignored him and went straight to class, I sat down on my chair and lowered my head crying, I didn't know what was happening to me first of all it was my father lying to me and now my bestfriend was dead, wait what am I even thinking she has not been confirmed dead, I should just remain positive maybe she survived but I couldn't stop thinking about the odds. I went to class and rested my head on my locker, the teacher came in a few minutes later, then I heard my name, I raised my head and saw that it was the teacher who called me
"Seraphina, are you okay" the teacher asked
"Yes ma, I'm fine" I told her
"Good, come up here and solve this question" she said
I stood up from my seat and went to the board, she gave me the marker and I stared at the board with a blank face, I stood there for a while just staring at the board when the teacher said
"Go to your sit"
"Thank you ma" I told her and quietly went to my sit, I didn't put my head on the locker and listened to her even though I didn't understand a word she was saying. After school, the driver came to pick me up and took me home, I went straight to my room but passing by my dad's room I heard him say
"How come the Jones family was killed, Alfred and I talked some days ago and everything seemed fine" my dad said, I couldn't hear what the person on the other side was saying but I heard my dad say
"Did anyone survive"
"How is it possible that no one survived, not even Riley?" he said again
I stood frozen in place, so that means Riley didn't survive, the door suddenly opened and my dad stood in front of me
"Sera" he said but I ran to my room with tears in my eyes, I cried my eyes out, I didn't go to eat dinner, I cried myself to sleep. The next day I didn't come out of my room, I decided not to go to school, I heard a knock on my door then I heard a voice, it was my dad's voice, I ignored him, I was in my room for days crying , I heard a knock on my door, then I heard a voice
"Sera, do you want to talk", it was my dad's voice but I didn't answer him
"You can ask me anything and I would tell you everything you want to know" he said again
I couldn't stay in my room forever and so I decided to ask him, I opened the door and let him in
" The people who killed the Jones family, are they connected with what ever you are involved in" I asked him with hatred in my eyes
" Yes, you see Alfred was on to something big, so I guessed that's why they killed him and his entire family" he said
"What's your plan of making them pay" I asked him
"What do you mean" he asked me
"If you don't mind I'd like to make the culprits pay" I told him
"Before that you have to be well trained" he said
"I'm ready" I told him .
