Author's POV
"Your things were stolen?" Asher cut her off with a lifted brow as his voice was flat, but his eyes were sharp. "Who could have done that?"
Asher hadn't come downstairs for this nonsense, but when he heard that even Melissa's belongings were being stolen by maids… he couldn't help but think:
If they dared to do this with Melissa, the one they always pampered, what did they do to Sera all these years?
Melissa nodded with a pout, pretending to be hurt. "Yes! Someone stole things I asked the maids to keep aside after my birthday. And now they're saying… that Seraphina took them. That she snatched it all."
Asher leaned back on the couch and let out a small, amused scoff.
So that's the story now.
"Call Sera," he said coldly.
The atmosphere in the living room changed instantly. A few maids flinched before they quickly bowed and dispersed in panic to bring Seraphina.
They were heading toward the old storage room when Asher's voice stopped them in their tracks.
