Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 10

Seraphina stepped out of Leandro’s place and spotted Balch’s house.

They lived in the same neighborhood, with every house having its own unique style despite the unified villa design. Balch’s villa was just to the east of Leandro’s, a mere fifty meters apart.

Seraphina silently followed Balch, causing him to turn around, “What’s up?”

Seraphina let out a sigh, “Nothing, just thinking it’s too much of a coincidence. It makes me a little uneasy.”

Upon hearing this, Balch chuckled, “Yeah, it’s quite the coincidence.“.

They were now at Balch’s doorstep. He stopped and said, “Hang on a sec. I need to get my car.”

Seraphina looked up at his door and laughed, “We’re right at your doorstep and you’re not gonna invite me in for a cup of joe?”

Balch adjusted his glasses and grinned, “I didn’t want to be too forward. You wanna come in for a bit?”

As he was about to unlock the door, Seraphina grabbed his arm, “I was just joking. Look at me, all wrinkled up and not exactly presentable. Better just take me home.”

So, Balch drove Seraphina home himself.

As they passed Leandro’s house, Seraphina turned to see Valerio, the young boy, leaning on the second–floor balcony railing, seemingly watching her car. The car quickly passed and Seraphina looked away.

“Do you know Leandro?” Balch suddenly asked.

Seraphina chuckled lightly, “Kind of. If not, I might have been left on the curb after mistakenly getting into his car last night.”

“I didn’t expect him to let you stay the night.” Balch commented.
