"Pretend that you both have started hating each other, Seraphina and Arzal,"
Everyone looked at Nicklaus, stunned.
"And how will this help?" Nathan asked.
"That person will believe that he has already succeeded in separating them and will make him execute his next step but this time we'll be ready in advance,"
"But how? We know nothing about what his next step is going to be." Arzal asked Nicklaus.
"For that we've to keep a keen eye on Albert as he's our current suspect now and we'll capture him the moment we'll find any slight unusual thing with him because currently, we can't capture him because that person would be alerted if he got to know we've suspected Albert,"
They all understood what he was trying to indicate.
"But for now we've to keep Nathan and Seraphina safe because he still can try to harm them," Arzal stated, making Seraphina gulp and Nicklaus nod.
"Yes, he can and for that I've a solution," Nicklaus said, making Arzal's brows arched in confusion.
"They will stay in my house until all of this doesn't get resolved," Nicklaus answers, making Nathan and Seraphina startled.
"Because if we try to enhance their security, that person will be alerted and we can't left them alone here because we're still unaware of that person's reach,"
"But Nick, if we started staying in your house, won't it alert that person?" Finally Seraphina uttered her confusion.
"Sera is right, Nick." Arzal agreed.
"We just have to do a little play," Nicklaus grinned.
"Play?" Seraphina asked, confused.
"We'll break this house,"
All 3 of them looked at Nicklaus like a statue.
"Hey! What I mean is we will do some kind of leakage of pipelines or breaking of plasters or some more disturbing things in this house for which it would require a renovation for at least some weeks," Nicklaus smirked.
"So even if that person is keeping a watch on us, he would get to know about this and when he will find out they have decided to stay in my house, rather than yours, Arzal then it will make him believe that you and Seraphina are really on very bad terms that's why she didn't come to stay in your house with her brother,"
Seraphina gazed at Nicklaus, impressed.
"You're so intelligent, Nick," She uttered, smiling, making him chuckle.
He caressed her head and answered.
"Thank you, Miss junior Miller,"
Nicklaus trailed his eyes at Nathan where he could clearly see the hesitancy on his face.
"Nathan, come on, buddy. I know it's a difficult decision for you as a brother but we promise, I and Arzal won't let any harm to you both because... " Nicklaus halted and looked at Arzal.
"He loves her more than his life and she's like my sister and," He tossed his head and looked at Nathan.
"If anything happens to you, Neva will slit my throat into two," Nicklaus sniggered and glanced at Seraphina.
He patted her head and said
"Besides, you're my both sister's happiness,"
Nathan beamed a bit and then nodded.
"So I guess, it's settled now but we all just have to be careful,"
Arzal sighed hearing Nicklaus and looked at Seraphina, who gave him an assuring nod with a blink of her lashes, making him nodded too.
... .. .
"I apologise for trying to betray you. Please forgive me, don't hurt my family," Albert pleaded on his knees while joining his hands.
A smirk crept on that face, hearing and watching him. Those emerald eyes filled with satisfaction at his begging.
"But you know I hate people who try to overplay with me, Albert,"
"I'm sorry. I am so sorry but please don't drag my family into this. I'll do whatever you'll say,"
A chuckle echoed against the walls of that room.
"But if I wouldn't have found out that you were helping Arzal in saving Seraphina and her brother from me and that day you were alerting her about my plan of killing her, then I would have killed her by now," The person seethed and grabbed the gun from the table.
"I'm sorry. I won't do it again," A sob broke out from Albert's mouth, making that person laugh.
"Ok fine. You've done a great job by betraying Seraphina in front of Arzal, as per my order so I think, I can spare you for that but make sure this mistake doesn't repeat again or else,"
The loading of the gun penetrated Albert's ear.
"You and your beautiful happy family will pay for it, Albert,"
"No, it won't happen again. I can assure you that," Albert sounded desperate.
"Now tell me how it has affected their relationship?"
"Arzal didn't believe her and had bashed her really badly and now, they both are on really weak terms," Albert notified, earning a smirk from that person.
"So we have so easily succeeded in tearing them apart. That doesn't fit well knowing how much he loves her?"
"But I've seen him shouting at her because he believed you over her," Albert uttered.
"So my dear son has chosen to believe his Rebecca Mom rather than his love Seraphina," Rebecca chortled deviously.
"But that's enough. I'm done playing this role of a good mother and playing with his so called lovers to make him stay away from his love, just like I had separated his parents,"
The evil in her emerald eyes turned more wicked.
"Now I'll fulfil my very aim for which I have wasted so many years of my life and had even taken my precious cousin, Azria and her husband's life,"
Albert silently heard her and then she snapped her eyes at him.
"Now it's time to send my dear son to his real parents, so that I can take over everything single thing of Grayson's,"
Albert was shocked at her revelation, making Rebecca smirked and further said
"I want Arzal Grayson dead,"
... .. .
"What are you thinking?" Seraphina asked, wrapping her arms around Arzal from behind. They were present inside her room
Nathan and Nicklaus were busy in making the arrangements for Seraphina and Nathan to shift in Nicklaus's house.
Arzal sighed and turned around to face her. Seraphina's smile dropped by watching that fear and worry in his silver eyes and she knew exactly why.
Seraphina tiptoed and palmed his face.
"Everything will be alright, Arzal," She assured him.
"You've always protected and saved me from every bad thing,"
Arzal stared at her wordlessly as she continued uttering.
"But this time I'll protect and save my evil prince for every evil and bad thing,"
Arzal chuckled, hearing his little innocent love. He pulled her in a hug and closed his eyes because that was the only protection he needed.
Seraphina caged him back and kissed his neck and buried her face into it. She also closed her eyes but with that promise and determination in her heart that she would never let anything happen to him even if it meant to go to any extent, including breaking the edges of her life.
