Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion)

Chapter 259 The Bride in the Painting Finished

She flitted around like a joyful little bird, trying on outh after outfit, as though she were determined to wear every new season's latest fashion, forcing Justin to watch from the living room.

He suddenly felt a strong urge to go shoot a movie.

Emeris had someone bring over a custom-made diamond necklace, featuring a rare and magnificent pink diamond. The piece was exquisite, one of a kind in its frilliance.

Seraphina slipped into a pale pink, form-litting gown that accentuated her slim waist. Her long hair draped loosely over her shoulders, a casual elegance that balanced softness and striking beauty. She was quite pleased with the look. It wasn't too flashy, but it wasn't underwhelming either

Justin squinted at the necklace. He was momentarily stunned.

"Dad, didn't you say that diamond was for my proposal?"

Emeris shot him a glance and mocked, "Good question. When exactly is your fiancée going to be born?"

Justin was speechless.

He could feel the mocking intent behind his father's words.

Seraphina blinked. Her expression was one of playfulness.

"Don't worry, Justin. Your diamond is still safe in the vault at home. But you should start feeling a little pressure." Justin choked on

stopped by Serap Words. Then he got up, ready to change and accompany her to the event, only to be

"I already have someone going with me."

"Who?"

Emeris and Justin asked at the same time. Both were on high alert.

"Kaveh, the guy who saved me on the island."

Justin sighed in relief. That was fine; after all, he was just a kid.

Knowing Seraphina, there was no way she'd be interested in someone like him.

Emeris, however, showed a bit of disdain. Since Kaveh was part of the Droses, it wasn't straightforward for him to warm up to the boy, Still, he gave his consent. After all, Kaveh had saved Seraphina.

"Alright, fine. Have Benjamin take you."

Benjamin responded promptly. He was clearly pleased.

Wearing high heels, Seraphina couldn't drive herself, so she didn't refuse the offer.

Finishert

As evening fell, the city was bathed in the deep shadows of twilight. Its skyline came alive with neon lights. that illuminated every comer.

Kaveh was dressed in a custom-tailored suit. He stood tall and strikingly handsome. His sharp features and confident presence made him impossible to ignore, drawing the admiring gazes of many women passing by.

The restaurant opening wasn't a large event; only a select few had been invited.

The interior was simple and tasteful, yet everything felt meticulously curated, perfectly reflecting the style of Lucas being a renowned artist.

While Kaveh was ordering food, Seraphina wandered through the gallery. She moved from one piece to the next, until she reached the very last painting at the end of the hallway. The moment she laid eyes on it, her body went rigid with shock. This was the second time she'd seen this painting.

In the artwork, a woman in a wedding dress walked toward a man in the distance. That woman was Seraphina.

The man, clutching a bouquet of flowers, had a blurred face and indistinguishable features.

Cherubs floated in the sky above them, holding instruments and bestowing blessings on Seraphina below.

Seraphina pursed her lips. Lucas silently appeared behind her. He spoke with a rich, deep voice, belying his age. Do you like the way you look?"

Seraphina turned with a teasing glint in her eyes.

"Of course. Not everyone can look as attractive as I do

As he gazed at the painting, Lucas scoffed, his eyes narrowing.

"I didn't attend your wedding that day.

Seraphina's thoughts drifted to her own bare-bones wedding, her eyes dimming just a bit.

"I want to buy this painting. Name your price," she said firmly.

She needed to keep Orion from ever seeing this painting, or things would get complicated.

"I'm not selling it," Lucas rejected her flatly.

Seraphina frowned and was ready to argue her case.

She turned back to see a tall figure in the distance. His gaze was fixed on the painting and her; his expression was dark and intense.

Upon seeing Orion, Seraphina's heart began to beat faster.

She froze instinctively, but it was too late to hide.

He had already made his way over to her and stood there. His eyes were fixated on the painting.

Finished

Lucas glanced at him coolly, barely concealing his annoyance. "I didn't feel like painting your face in it."

Orion's expression remained grim as his gaze slid past Seraphina, who avoided looking at him.

Seraphina's delicate makeup was flawless. Her pale pink gown highlighted her curves. She exuding a kind of radiant beauty that was hard to look away from, more gentle than her usual aloofness. Orion's gaze darkened.
