Seraphina sprung up coughing up the water that had entered her lungs.
"Slowly , breath " she heard someone say to her.
She breathed still coughing, holding onto the warm body next to her.
Trying to focus she looked up to see Kallias ,holding her . His suit was wet and his eyes filled with worry.
"Are you okay ?" he asked.
She nodded looking around , "where is he , he tried to kill me . And I faught back but ...I...I"
He pulled her back to his chest holding her.
"His gone ,don't worry your safe " he assured her.
She held onto him trembling , he grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her body carrying her off the bathroom floor.
Kallias laid her down in bed and pulled the covers over her.
Seraphina noticed the four other men in the room . She gripped his hand not letting him go.
"I don't care how but find him now " he said to them as he sat down on the bed next to her.
They nodded and left the room . He turned to her and sighed.
"What happened" she asked.
"I think you should first calm down " he said.
She was still trembling and her cold hands made him even more worried.
"Am cold " she stammered.
"Let me get you a robe " he said getting up.
Seraphina hestitated to let go of his hand , he pulled away and got her a robe.
As she was getting dressed he called room service requesting for tea so she could warm up. But he knew it wasn't that she was cold but terrified after what had happened.
He could see the red handprints on her neck . If he had not come to check on her she would be dead by now.
"Is it over ?" She asked him.
"Huh?".
"The party , did they leave already"
"No not yet , I come to check on you after I saw your parents off " he answered coming back to her.
"They left ?".
He nodded , "they didn't want to disturb your rest and said they would call tomorrow morning ".
She fell silent .
"This is the third time someone has tried to kill you Rosalinda , what is going on ?" he asked.
Seraphina's teary eyes met his . So this wasn't the first time someone had tried to kill her sister?.
They had already succeed but with her appearance , they must have thought she was still alive.
What had her sister been going through , and who was it that wanted her dead?.
