Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 253

Sandra took a beat before speaking again, “What are you doing?”

“I’m with a client right now.” Bowen replied, “Is anything up? Are you okay?”

“No, I’m not feeling well.” Sandra murmured, then added, “I want to see you right now…

“Sandra, I really can’t leave right now.” Bowen said, “Where are you? I’ll send the driver to pick you up.”

But Sandra fell silent again.

“Sandra?”

“Where are you?” Sandra gritted her teeth before asking again, ‘Ill come to you.”

“Stop messing around.” Bowen said, “I’m busy. I’ll spend time with you when I get home.”

Sandra lifted her hand and bit down hard on the back of it, falling silent again.

Some sort of noise came through the phone, and Bowen quickly said. “I’ve gotta go, send me your location and I’ll have the driver pick you up. Be a good girl, okay?”

Sandra didn’t reply, and Bowen didn’t wait for her response, quickly hanging up the call.

Sandra clutched the phone, frozen in place, she didn’t move for a long time.

Seraphina had noticed something was off with Sandra earlier in the office. She had waited for a moment before finally getting up and heading into the bathroom.

To her surprise, she found Sandra crouched by the sinks, biting her hand, face pale, unmoving

“Sandra?” Seraphina quickly went over, pulling her closer

Sandra seemed dazed, looking at her before quickly averting her gaze.

“What happened? Seraphina moved in front of her again, “Are you hiding something from me?”

Sandra’s whole body felt icy cold, and she was trembling uncontrollably. Seraphina reached out her hand and tightly held onto her, finally managing to bring back a bit of her awareness.

“What’s going on?* Seraphina asked, ‘Are you not going to tell me?”

Sandra finally looked up at her, their eyes meeting for a long moment, her gaze filled with despair and sorrow, ‘Sera…”

*Spill it Seraphina said. “What’s there to hide between the two of us?”

Sandra opened her mouth, then paused, only managing to speak after a long time, “He’s with Tania Martin…”

Seraphina’s face visibly changed.

Tears were already streaming down Sandra’s face, she doubled over in pain, managing to say through gritted teeth, “I know he’s with Tania, he must be with her…

Seraphina was feeling a sense of uncase.

As much as she was good at sarcasm, comforting others was not her forte.

“Why the tears?” Seraphina gritted her teeth and said. “Let’s go find them. You need to catch them in the act before we decide what to do

next.”

But as she tried to pull Sandra towards the door, Sandra yanked her hand back, sobbing uncontrollably.

“I can’t go, I can’t… Sandra murmured between sobs.

Seraphina grabbed her again. “He’s already treating you like this, are you going to put up with it?”

Sandra shook her head vigorously, after a long while, she managed to say. “I’m afraid that if I go, I’ll be the one he ends up leaving…”

Seraphina couldn’t hide her frustration, “Do you have to wait till he leaves you? Can’t you leave him first? What do you see in him?”

Sandra covered her face, crying quietly, unable to speak.

Seraphina watched her for a moment before moving towards her, holding her in a gentle embrace.

“What’s so bad about leaving him?” she said, “Sure, it might take years for you to get over it, but in time, three years, four years, you’ll forget about him, you’ll start living a better life… Sandra, I’ll be with you every step of the way, just like you were there for me… We’re still young, we still have plenty of time, you’ll find someone who’s right for you. Sandra, he’s no good, let him go. If you keep going down this path, you’re the only one who’s going to get hurt.”

Sandra clung tightly to Seraphina, sobbing uncontrollably.

In the end, they didn’t go find him Sandra cried for a long time and refused to talk about Bowen anymore.

Seraphina just stayed by her side, not saying anything else.

When it comes to matters of the heart, no amount of advice from others can truly help

The only solution is to let her figure it out herself or continue to sink in the darkness.

Seraphina didn’t want to see the latter, but given Sandra’s current state, breaking free wasn’t going to be easy

Once Sandra had finally calmed down, Seraphina took her home.

Sandra was quiet the entire way, looking lost and hopeless.

“Have you figured out what you’re going to do? Seraphina asked.

After a moment, Sandra looked at her again, her eyes filled with sadness.

Seraphina quickly reached out to wipe her eyes, “You’ve cried enough today, no more tears.”

Sandra managed a small smile, tears swirling in her eyes but not falling.

“… have a serious talk with him.” Sandra said, “I won’t blindly believe his words anymore.”

Hearing this, Seraphina couldn’t help but sigh.

Sandra suddenly looked at her, “Sera, did I disappoint you?”

Seraphina looked at her quietly for a moment, then smiled faintly. “Isn’t that the way with women in love? I’ve been there, and you know it… So as long as you stop deceiving yourself for him, I won’t be disappointed in you”

*But… what if… I can’t break free?” Sandma asked.

Seraphina suddenly reached out, giving Sandra’s face a hard twist, saying slowly. “Wake up, girl!”

Sandra’s face was all contorted from the twist, her eyes still wet with tears, but a smile was slowly emerging from the corners of her

mouth

“Sera, don’t worry,” she whispered, “This time, I won’t be fooled by his lies.”

As they pulled up to the Smith family’s mansion, Seraphina asked one of their servants and found out Bowen wasn’t home.

Sandra seemed to have regained her composure, “Seraphina, you should go back to your work, don’t stick around. I’ll think things through before he gets back, and when he does, I’ll make him explain everything.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Alright” Seraphina knew that at times like these, a person needed to be alone, so she didn’t say much, only added, “Call me if you need anything, I’ll always be there.”

Sandra nodded, standing at the front door, watching Seraphina leave.

And Seraphina, sitting in the receding car, couldn’t help but keep looking back, seeing Sandra looking so lost and worn, she couldn’t help but sigh.

“Let’s go home, Seraphina told the driver.

Halfway through the drive, Seraphina’s phone suddenly rang. She thought it was Sandra, but when she looked, it was Leandro.

“Weren’t you supposed to wait for me in the studio?” Leandro asked, “Where are you?
