chapter 2
The family was in the middle of pretending breakfast was a peaceful affair when Dad casually dropped a nuclear bomb across the table:
Alessia Alexandra
“Oh, phina... your dad wants to tell you something.”
Seraphina Alexandra
Still not looking up,replied flatly,
“Go on.”
Her father cleared his throat. Everyone at the long marble table paused slightly, sensing something official
Damien Alexandra(seraphina's dad)
“We’ve arranged a marriage for you,” he said, voice calm and calculated, like it was a perfectly logical business move.
Seraphina Alexandra
"I'm into girls"didn’t even blink. She finished spreading the jam with surgeon-like precision and said with total deadpan.
She took a bite of the toast, chewed slowly, and sipped her imported green tea like she’d just mentioned the weather.
There was a sharp clang of a dropped spoon.
Victor Alexandra
“sis"gasped, eyes wide, dramatically covering her mouth.
“You can’t just say it like that—out loud—😭🤣 Girl—what?!"
Seraphina Alexandra
Raised a perfectly plucked brow, finally glancing up.
“I can. I just did.”
Aurelio Alexandra
Still wheezing with laughter.
“You really are something else,” said, wiping a tear from her eye.
Seraphina smirked, not out of amusement, but from watching them all unravel over a truth she had known—and accepted—ages ago.
Seraphina Alexandra
So, who’s the poor man I just saved?” she asked coolly, biting into her toast again.
Uncle vincent, who had been quietly sipping coffee, suddenly slid a pastel pink envelope toward her.
Vincent Alexandra (seraphina's uncle)
"Here's the wedding card," said like this was totally normal behavior before 9 AM.
Damien Alexandra(seraphina's dad)
Unbothered as ever, spoke calmly from the head of the table:
“And it’s a girl. Not a man.”
Seraphina Alexandra
Paused mid-chew. Blinked once. Slowly looked up.
“...What?”
Her dad set down his cup of black coffee and adjusted his Rolex like he’d just told her the quarterly merger results.
Siena Alexandra
“We arranged a marriage for you. With a girl. From an excellent family.”with a smile
The table exploded again—this time louder.
Seraphina Alexandra
Clutched my chest dramaticly.
“What do you mean it’s a girl?! Wait—so y’all knew?! You just—pre-arranged a gay marriage like it’s brunch plans?!”
Alessia Alexandra
“You think your father wouldn’t do his research?”mother said lightly, buttering her croissant.
Seraphina Alexandra
Blinked again, slower this time.
“You arranged a lesbian marriage for me... without telling me...?”
Damien Alexandra(seraphina's dad)
Sipped his tea.
“You weren’t going to find someone on your own with that attitude.”
Seraphina Alexandra
"I was going to die alone. Peacefully. In silence," muttered.
Aurelio Alexandra
Snorted.
“Yeah, surrounded by designer cats and unread love letters.”
Amber Alexandra
“Sounds ideal.”
Seraphina Alexandra
*Rolled my eyes*
Seraphina Alexandra
“How old?”
Damien Alexandra(seraphina's dad)
"21"
seraphina's toast hit the plate like thunder. She stood up so fast her chair almost flipped backward.
Seraphina Alexandra
“ARE YOU F***ING CRAZY, YOU OLD MAN?!
Seraphina Alexandra
*Mouths dropped*
Seraphina Alexandra
"SHE’S JUST TWENTY-ONE! I’M THIRTY! WHERE THE HELL DID YOU FIND A KID FOR ME TO MARRY?"
Alessia Alexandra
Tried to intervene. “She’s legally an adult—”
Seraphina Alexandra
“I DON’T CARE IF SHE’S A LEGAL CABBAGE! SHE’S A CHILD!”
Damien Alexandra(seraphina's dad)
“She agreed,said, finally glancing up. “She even said she was excited.”
Seraphina Alexandra
"EXCITED?! WHAT IS SHE, A DISNEY PRINCESS?! WHO GETS EXCITED TO MARRY A COMPLETE STRANGER NINE YEARS OLDER THAN HER?"
Siena Alexandra
Winked. “Cute girl. Likes bubble tea.”
Seraphina Alexandra
collapsed into her chair.
“This family needs therapy.”
seraphina took deep breaths, grabbed the card, stand up and left the house and went university
