Sweet Sin - S01 E97

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 97

“The fûck?” Allison rose to her feet with the other guests as the last call of price echoed in the hall.

Yeah, it’s exquisite. Yeah, the crocheting work is out of this world and never seen before, but 9.9billion?

They wanted to see who, lay a glance on the mouth of whoever said that, but no one saw nothing.

From the angle he stood on the second balcony, only Seraphina could catch a glimpse of his green eyes.

And Tobias.

Tobias is looking at the green too, clear from the first balcony he stood on. He could only see the eyes cos the shadows of the dark balcony covered the face, but those eyes were all he needed to confirm who.

Only one person had those stupid green eyes.

Back in elementary school, this person was in his last year, but he still managed to look young like his juniors cos of his insufferable babyface and those green eyes.

Vince St. Graves.

Uncle Will’s son. The bastard who hates Tobias even more than Dean hates him. He hates Tobias madly.

The cigarette burned away wastefully between Tobias’s fingers, and the ash dropped on the floor.

“Get that bitch.” He murmured.

He didn’t have to say it louder or twice. All the Odds behind him scattered, going after Vince.

Vince’s green eyes disappeared from behind that curtains immediately as if he sensed they were coming for him. The Odds met emptiness, but they went beyond the balcony, jumping down the tall railings.

Immediately they descended, a really small ball smashed the floor, and poisonous foul-smelling smokes erupted. The Odds used their arms.

Over their noses, they crossed the smokes and saw the backdoor open, went for it with another run.

No Vince. No weird car. No trace.

It’s as though he vanished.

Migos didn’t cuss, surprisingly. He calmly brought a small pill bottle out from under his suit.

He swallowed one of the pills then threw the bottle to the rest.

“Take one each, that motherfucker used poisoned smokes, your livers might be at risk.”

“Migos being kind?” One of them said.

“I’m expected to take care of y’all in the absence of Rose, fuckers. You want me to take your livers instead?” Migos rolled eyes crankily.

“In the absence of Rose?” Jude came closer. “Rose is just upstairs.”

“You talk like you’re tired of breathing, always.” Migos stated.

Jude ignored him, staring at the silent underground park.

“He escaped.”

“Because today isn’t his day,” Migos replied, too collected.

“What do you mean?” Jude asked.

“If Rose is really interested in catching him today, he’d follow him personally and not send us.” Migos explained shortly.

[Inside The Hall]

Seraphina is now staring at her phone with shocked eyes, counting the zeroes behind the cash that has just been sent to her account.

It’s 9.9

Not in thousands, not in millions, it’s in billions, from Vincent Dawson.

Now the bank froze her account, and within one minute, she received more than ten messages and notifications from the bank, demanding explanation on the huge deposit she just received.

They’re summoning her for a proper meet and talk.

She nearly gulped, but she stopped herself, just staring at the phone screen and the name of the sender.

Vincent Dawson.

That was the name she knew with him back then.

Vince wasn’t a student. Vince was a teacher in her highschool.

A teacher with a really pretty babyface and rare green eyes, that’s why the students called him the prettiest boy in school.

He was friendly with his fellow teachers and even more friendly with his students. In class, he smiled while delivering his lectures, and Seraphina as the outcast received attention from him too.

While other teachers never cared about if she knew their topics or not, Teacher Vince would come to her table, explain privately to her and make her understand a bit.

The day she secretly entered the pool hall to swim and she was disgraced by the whole school, it was Teacher Vince who came to her rescue too.

Whenever her parents said she didn’t deserve breakfast before coming to school, Teacher Vince cooked from home and brought it to school for her to eat. They shared moments…too many moments, so when he asked her to be his girlfriend despite him being eight years older, she said yes.

They even went as far as making a blood oath—a sacred covenant.

Only for him to betray her, take her virginity and disgrace her at Kimmy’s orders. He broke her.

But now…

He’s suddenly here and made the highest donation on her work?

Why the hell is he back on her important day of success?

Why did he appear to taint this moment with his presence?

Why is he here to ruin again?

As she stood in the center of the hall with her crochet behind her like her shadow, she felt the hall thinning.

Everyone began leaving.

It’s over anyways.

Someone bought the work, so it’s definitely over.

Seraphina couldn’t move, till Allison came over, looking as shocked too.

“Girl!” She grabbed Seraphina’s shoulders. “Who was that! He bid that much and even said something about being the only one for you? The hell? What’s going on?”

Seraphina showed her phone screen, and Allison gasped.

“He sent it to your account already? Your account is even frozen and…how did he know your acc…..”

Allison stopped talking when her eyes caught the name of the sender.

“Vince Dawson?” Her eyes widened. “Wait… like the Vince I know? Your highschool teacher who tricked you to become his girlfriend?”

“Yeah…” Seraphina nodded.

“What!!!” Allison screamed. “Wait for me, if I get my hands on that bastard!” Allison rushed away.

“Allison!” Seraphina called her, but she was too far gone to hear.

Seraphina bracketed her fingers, stepping back from the center. She looked up at the first balcony, and her eyes caught the blue eyes staring down at her intently.

Her breaths caught as she froze once again. He was here all along?

“Tobias.” She mumbled.

But Tobias choose that moment to turn around and leave the balcony.

She left the hall too, knowing he’s probably leaving for the park, and she was right. Getting to the park, she saw him just entering his car.

She rushed over, wanting to get in with him, but Migos blocked her.

“He’s in a sour bad mood,don’t further ruin it.”

“I just want to talk to him!” She argued with him. “I wanna talk!”

“And I said he’s in a really shitty mood, he doesn’t wanna talk!” Migos nearly pushed her.

Jude pulled him back.

“He said she can enter.” He said.

Migos shifted away grudgingly, and Seraphina entered the car.

Jude moved the car immediately she sat beside Tobias at the back.

Tobias is back at smoking his stuff, and he looks like he’s really in a shitty mood cos his eyes are harder than they were when they first met.

“I….” She began. “I didn’t expect him to come. It’s been years since he did what he did to me, and I thought he was dead when I didn’t hear anything from him, so….”

“How many weeks did you date him for?” He cut in with a question.

“Two months.” She muttered.

“And he took it at a cinema, your virginity.” He mentioned.

She bit her tongue before replying.

“Yes. He rented out the whole cinema, payed for a rated movie, and as we watched, we—”

“Enough!” He snarled.

Seraphina looked at him.

He’s looking at her now, and there’s no difference between him and a tied bull trying to break free.

He looks red, both in the eyes and on his ears, a sign of irritation and rage.

“What else did you do with your so-called boyfriend?” He asked.

“I was—”

“If you cut out any info, I’ll find it, and we’ll never be cool.” He said.

“I…” Seraphina hesitated, looking him in the eyes and ashamed to say out her own folly and idiocy. “Blood oath. We made blood oath.”

“Interesting,” Tobias leaned back, eyes redder, but it’s obvious he’s trying to contain himself with the way he puffed hard into his cigar.

“What were the words?” He asked.

“Don’t make me do this.” She declined, too embarrassed.

“What words did you say, Sera?” He repeated, stern.

“Tobias—”

“What words did you fuckin say!” He yelled, livid.

“No matter how much he hurts me, so far he tells me he loves me, I’ll always go back to him.” She confessed shamefully.

Tobias dropped his cigar on the car ashtray with practiced calm before facing her completely.

“Do you need me to find him and receive a ‘I love you’ recording from his mouth to you? That’s all you need to go back to him now.” He said.

“That was my naivety period, I was innocent and knew nothing!” Seraphina defended herself.

“What the fuck did he give you? Breadcrumbs of attention? The way he cooked for you and tutored you privately on your desk? The way he smiled at you and flashed those stupid green eyes around? That was all you needed to see before making a fucking blood oath with him? So far he says he loves you?” He laughed

“Tobias…” She sounded broken again.

“I was right all along. A Stupid Dog will forever belong in that category of losers.” He muttered.

Seraphina gasped, losing it.

“I was unloved! I was hated by both my parents and sisters and even the teachers and my classmates!!! My sisters didn’t want anyone to know I was related to them, so I was only allowed to bear Seraphina Red without the double D, so no one knew I belonged to the Redds cos I was the most unkempt of the students.”

“My socks were always dirty cos I wasn’t allowed to wash, and my uniform always smelled like fish cos my sisters would always pour sardines oil on it just to make me suffer! My hair was always oily cos I had no washing soap. The day I stole washing soap from Genevieve’s bathroom, she nearly killed me and made me swallow the washing soap! It had to be surgically removed!”

“I was locked up every five days of the month to menstruate in the estate cellar, I menstruated on the floor, of the cellar, no pads! No food, only water! No one wanted me, no one liked me! At age 10, I suffered from bodily and facial rashes cos I had no cream for my skin….”

Seraphina broke down completely, crying madly in the car.

“I was never looked at, never attended to. At home, I was only allowed to go out at night cos I was the family shame. When Teacher Vince arrived like an angel, I was bound to follow him like a fool so don’t you dare do that! Don’t call me stupid for it! Yeah, you were sidelined as a kid too but you stood strong and never broke, but not everyone can stand strong and withstand. I was weak as a child, I saw hell!!”

She wiped her tears as she said the final word, but fresh tears fell from her eyes, wetting her cheeks and entire face more.

But in all, Tobias said no word. He stayed silent, staring at the cigar that’s burning away on the tray.

He didn’t look at her teary face. Not once, at all. He wouldn’t.

“And don’t act like I’m special to you too,” she added. “After all, this is all just a deal, and I’m like your toy.”

The car entered the Oddsion compound, and Jude took it slow till they arrived at the park.

“I’m glad you called yourself a fool in-between your words, cos you are….” Tobias spoke. “A Stupid one.”

Then he got down from the car and entered the Oddsion.

Seraphina doesn’t even know how to come down from the car.

She sat there, sobbing like a baby, wiping and releasing new flow.

Jude looked back from the driver’s seat, pitifully.

“I think you need to know this…”

Seraphina looked up slowly.

“Migos said Vince is Boss’s cousin.” Jude continued.

Seraphina’s eyes widened.

“Yeah, he’s Vince St. Graves. He’s Uncle Will’s only son, but Uncle Will once disowned him cos he’s a chronic outlaw who always got Uncle Will in trouble. When he got disowned, he left Uncle Will for years. I think that must be when he came to your school to teach under the surname Dawson.” Jude explained clearly.

“No….” Seraphina shook her head in disbelief. “No…that’s not…”

“Other Odds might lie to you and dislike you bad, Seraphina…” Jude said. “But not me. I heard the story you told, and even me who grew up in the streets, I had a better life than you. I pity you, seriously.”

And with that, he left the car.

Seraphina’s head blanked, making a straight noise.

She didn’t even know her phone was ringing in her hand till the second ring began, and she picked it up.

“Hey, Phina, you left the hall?” Allison’s voice came.

“Lis,” Seraphina sniffled. “Vince…I just found out he’s Tobias’s cousin…”

“You gotta be kidding me!” Allison sharply replied. “What!”

“I swear….” Seraphina sobbed again.

“Oh no…”

“And I made a blood oath with him, and Tobias found out, and—”

“Wait…blood what??” Allison cut in. “You never told me that!”

“Allison, I wish I met you earlier, I just wish I met you earlier….I wouldn’t have made these stupid mistakes, I wouldn’t…”

“Calm down, shawty, calm down.” Allison said. “Where’s Tobias now?”

“He went in, angry as fûck. He wasn’t even looking at me, like he was disgusted and irritated…”

“Shit, and your crochets are everywhere, Phina. You’re the hottest lady in town right now. Your 9.9B auction is airing everywhere, then your crochets ads too….”

“What do you mean crochets ads?” Seraphina sniffled.

“Check the internet, girl. You’re the most talked about female in the world right now.” Allison said.

The call ended, and Seraphina only had to click Google. She’s the top three most searched topic.

American Seraphina’s crochets.

American Seraphina’s Ethereal Genesis auction.

American Seraphina’s body goals.

On the crochets search, she lost her breaths when she clicked on it. Her adverts are everywhere.

Everywhere, really.

And it’s not a plain ad. It’s a modeled advert. Female Odds are the models who modelled for it. Everyone of them appeared in every slide, especially Yalda. Yalda looks like the big sister of the brand owner cos her pictures are more than the others.

She modelled so hard, wearing every batch of her crochets.

Even the male jackets she crocheted, the male Odds modelled crazily for it.

Billboards, advertisement screens, LEDs, across fifteen countries.

It’s everywhere.

Then her 9.9B auction. Every TV is struggling to air it and say their opinions, belong in the gist.

And her body goals, videos of people saying their opinions about her. There are dark rumours that she did BBL and breast implants.

Some even said she had liposuction.

Seraphina quickly dropped her phone cos it suddenly felt too hot.

She’s EVERYWHERE, truly.

She’s the most talked about.

The most sought-after.

The most searched.

The most popular female globally right now, all within a day.

She looked at the Oddsion building, wiping her tears slowly.
