Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 80

Seraphina cautiously opened the bathroom door, took a peek outside, and then tiptoed out.

Just as she reached the stairs, there was a knock at the front door Seraphina went downstairs to answer it and found two security guards at the door.

“Ms. Bennett, we got a call from Mr. Lawson He asked us to check you out. The power tripped a while ago, but it should be back by now”

Seraphina nodded, “Alright, thanks guys.”

After the guards left, Seraphina made a call to Balch.

The background was eerily quiet as Balch picked up. Seraphina couldn’t help but ask, “Have you finished eating?”

I’ve finished, Balch replied, “I’m on my way home.”

Seraphina chuckled. “In such a hurry? The power’s back on, I’m not scared of the blackout…”

Before she could finish her sentence, the house plunged into darkness again.

Seraphina took a deep breath.

“What happened?” Balch asked immediately.

“Another blackout,” Seraphina replied. “I’ll check it out…”

“Don’t do that,” Balch’s voice took on an urgent tone, ‘Go to your room, lock the door, don’t come out.”

“Why?” Seraphina asked as she stood up and turned on her phone’s flashlight.

For a big house like this, the faint light from her phone was hardly enough. Seraphina waved her phone around, only able to make out the vague outline of

the house.

“Just do as I say, go to your room!” Balch’s voice was getting anxious.
