Chapter 36 - pretty, please?

"JESUS! ALEX!" Jace exclaimed as the car made a drift again.

He was totally traumatized about the series of crazy events that happened. It should be a fun night out but how come it quickly escalated to this point? Why must he suffer to this extent by doing kind gesture?

With Alex driving as if he was in a drag race and a weird woman that seems to enjoy what was going on, while he on his end needed to hold for his dear life and for the girl beside him. He glanced at Nadine and before he could react, a mouthful of disgusting fluid from her mouth hastily cascaded to his lap.

"!!!!!!!" Jace gasped in disbelief. Indeed, it was the worst night of his life. Fortunately, they already arrived at Nadine's villa, thus, he could only endure.  

He hurriedly got out of the car and took her inside her residence leaving the two inside the stenchful car.

Seraphina watched Jace carry Nadine inside her house through the car window before she unbuckles her seatbelt and follows suit. While Alex was intently staring at her with a subtle smile on his face.

Despite with his disinterest in Jace's heroic act, he was interested at the girl whom he just met. Although his interest was not considered in a romantic way, he had to admit that she was different.

In his life, he met different girls with different unique beauty, thus, even though the girl has a decent appearance to his eyes, she still could not par on the top beauties he met. Regardless, he still approached her due to the reason she looked familiar, although it was out of his character -- his instincts urge him to do so, hence, he was here -- with her.

Just little interaction with her, Alex found her more and more interesting. Nevertheless, he was unregretful of his decision.

Following Seraphina — he too entered the wasted girl's house.

The villa was spacious and quiet, it exuded the girl's personality based on the elegant decorations and the neatly arranged pieces of furniture. Seraphina observed the surrounding in her classic blank expression as she leisurely sat on one of the hot pink sofas while Alex sat opposite her.

Out of nowhere, Jace loud voice was heard.

"Hey, you!" Seraphina raised her head to the source of the voice and spotted the distress looking Jace. She pointed at herself making sure he was talking to her.

"Yes, you! Come here." he said. Seraphina knitted her brows but still followed Jace and went inside the room where he came from.

"you help her wash up." Jace commanded. Seraphina narrowed her eyes before answering,

"I am only a concern person who's worried to the girl's safety… washing her up shouldn't be my responsibility."

"Ohh Ohh! Look at this person… Since you claim you're a good person, you should do it all the way! Do you want me to do it?!" Jace replied as he clicks his tongue in disbelief.

"You have a choice of not doing it." shrugging her shoulder nonchalantly, Seraphina said.

"You…" Jace was in distress with all the terrible experiences that occurred and talking to this stranger made it worst. Glancing at Nadine sounds asleep, he calmed himself and displayed the fakest smile on earth.

"please?"

"....."

"Pretty, please?"

"alright."

Jace almost gasped at how she immediately agreed just hearing the word 'pretty'. Nonetheless, he immediately ravaged the girl's closet to find a comfortable pair of pajamas, a towel to wipe her and a bowl of lukewarm water.

After handing it to Seraphina, he was about to leave but as if he remembered something, he turned his head to Seraphina's direction, he spoke.

"hand me your phone… for countermeasures."

Seraphina rolled her eyes seeing the earnest look on Jace's face.

"countermeasure? Do you think I'll get a photo of her n_a_k_e_d body? Then, why are you letting a stranger help this girl wash up in the first place?" Seraphina indifferently spoke. Regardless, Seraphina took off her fitted jacket and threw it to him.

"it's inside. I couldn't possibly have any more stuff to hide in this cute little dress." She said as she soaked the short white towel into the bowl of water.

Jace stared at her for a moment examining the girl's expression before leaving.

Seraphina shakes her head before proceeding to wipe the girl. She has to admit that this girl's beauty was top notch. Her flawless face was smooth without a sign of being done under the knife.

After wiping all her exposed skin, she started to undress her revealing a horrifying bruise and hickeys on her upper c_h_e_s_t yet Seraphina did not show a sign of surprised as if she was expecting it.

Indeed, Seraphina was not interested in the entertainment industry but in her previous life, this girl made a shocking headline.

News about her circulated everywhere for a month or so. The news was so tragic that even to her, who's ignorant about everything due to her amnesia had reached her ears.

Remembering the deed she committed in her previous life, Seraphina had an ambiguous glint that flashed across her eyes.

If she was not mistaken, 2 months from this day, this girl will commit suicide. But that wasn't the shocking part because what made her death's a controversy was before ending her life, she left a list of names which never shown to the public and she murdered someone with 57 stab wounds — the RC Entertainment vice president, Victor Wang.

And that person was the reason Seraphina is interested in this girl. Although she did not know the whole story, the small clues in her previous life and the girl's body was enough for her to put the pieces together.

She slowly wiped the girl's delicate body before changing her to a comfortable PJ's. While staring at the girl, she spoke.

"It must've been hard, huh?" as if her voice tugged Nadine's heart, her closed eyes involuntarily teared up. Although the girl was unconscious, her heart knew her sufferings —reacting to Seraphina's words.

Seeing her reaction, Seraphina stood up and turned on the laptop that was placed on top of her table, luckily, there is no passcode.

Just a few taps, a soothing sound resounded across the four corners of the overly pink room. It was calm and harmonious as if lullabying her.

Nadine knitted brows —relaxed. She lightly patted the girl's head before Seraphina left the room without a word.
