Rebirth Of The Heiress And The Tycoon's Lover (Alina) novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52

ALINA’S POV.

“You fucking bitch!” She screamed.

Seraphina managed to grab a fistful of my hair before she was yanked away by Lucian and roughly shoved into the arms of the already waiting security.

“We are so sorry about this, Mr. Blackwood.” The security guards in charge of watching her to make sure she didn’t pull any stunt like this, apologized quickly, clearly shaken.

“I will fucking kill you! How dare you do this to me? I will ruin you!” Seraphina shrieked, looking completely crazed as she struggled against them, her eyes wild and once perfectly done hair disheveled.

“Are you okay, doll?” Lucian asked, his voice tight with worry as he scanned my body frantically for any sign of injury.

“I’m fine… I think.” I said, uncertain. I was still stunned from the sudden attack, my whole body frozen in shock.

My heart was racing, with a loud thud in my chest, and although I could feel pain, I couldn’t quite pinpoint where it was coming from.

“You crazy bitch.” Lucian growled, eyes blazing as he stormed toward a now wide-eyed Seraphina. But before he could reach her, I grabbed his arm.

He whipped his head toward me, and I shook mine firmly.

“Please don’t. People are watching.” I said quietly, my eyes flicking toward the few onlookers outside,some waiting for their rides, others simply enjoying the night air as they now stood frozen in place.

“And so?” Lucian asked flatly, clearly not seeing why that mattered.

“Lucian,” I said through clenched teeth, pulling him back again when he made a move toward Seraphina again. “If you do anything rash, you’ll find yourself in the blogs before dawn tomorrow.” I reasoned.

“I would love to see who will dare.” He said, his voice dark and loud enough for everyone nearby to hear.

The crowd quickly averted their eyes, as they suddenly rather looked at anything but us.

“Please… let’s just go. I’m exhausted. And I think… I’m hurt too.” I mumbled, my voice low as I felt something warm trickling down the back of my neck.

My hand went to the spot, and when I pulled it back, it was smeared with blood.

Lucian’s expression did an instant three-sixty, panic flashing in his eyes.

“You’re bleeding.” His eyes widened, voice tight with alarm.

Duh. I thought, trying to stay upright.

I guessed Seraphina had gotten a few scratches in before she was pulled away. Speaking of her, she’d been taken away, luckily for her. I wasn’t sure I had the strength to hold Lucian back a third time.

Lucian pulled his phone out of his pocket and quickly dialed a number.

“Maya, get the doctor waiting at the mansion. Alina is hurt.” He ordered, then promptly hung up.

“Where the fuck is Ace?!” He yelled, his tone growing more agitated.

“Lucian, calm down.” I said, surprised at how he was reacting. I was the one injured, yet he was the one falling apart.

“You’re bleeding.” He deadpanned again, like that explained everything.

“I know, but panicking won’t help. Besides, it’s just a scratch.” I told him gently.

But I was starting to feel lightheaded, and thankfully, Ace arrived with the car. Lucian gave him a sharp look but didn’t say a word as he opened the door for us.

The doctor got right to work as soon as we arrived at the mansion.

Turns out… it wasn’t just a scratch.

Lucian wouldn’t let me hear the end of it, that was for sure.

Apparently, Seraphina had stabbed me with a sharp object. The adrenaline had masked the pain, so I had assumed it was just from her yanking my hair.

“So?” Lucian asked, arms crossed, watching the doctor place a bandage at the back of my neck.

“We’ll take out the stitches in a week’s time, Mr. Blackwood,” the doctor informed him, removing his bloody gloves and placing them in a disposable bag. “Until then, she needs to keep the wound dry. Make sure you don’t get water on it, Mrs. Blackwood.” He added, turning to me.

“Will do, Doc.” I said, offering him a grateful smile despite the dull throb in my neck.

“I’ll come over every two days to disinfect and change the bandage-”

“That won’t be necessary,” Lucian interrupted firmly. “I can handle that.”

“Of course, sir. I’ll be on my way.” The doctor replied respectfully, closing his medical box. Maya walked him out.

“Ace.” Lucian called.

“Yes, boss.” Ace answered from the corner of the room.

“Make sure no bad publicity that could potentially harm Alina or Alinova sees the light of day.” He instructed sharply.

“Nothing to worry about, boss. I’ve got it all covered.” Ace replied before excusing himself.

Now, it was just the two of us.

Lucian stood a few feet away, arms still crossed, his expression unreadable as he stated at me. As I tried to read him, the silence between us grew heavier, and it made me anxious, I found myself fiddling with the sheets under my fingers.

“Lucia-”

“Just a scratch,’ huh?”

We both spoke at the same time.

Oh boy.

AUTHOR’S POV

Meanwhile, back at the venue, Mia sat in the now-almost-empty hall, massaging her sore feet. The echoes of the evening’s excitement still lingered in the air. As she put her shoes back on, a shadow fell over her.
