Unloved Unwanted Unstoppable (Seraphina and Dominic) novel Chapter 33

Seraphina hesitated for a second before walking over to take a seat.

The matriarch looked at her, eyes brimming with profound sorrow. "You've been through hell."

Seraphina shook her head. "I'm fine, Grandma."

"Fine?"

The older woman reached out to gently smooth Seraphina's hair, her voice thick with emotion. "You've been married into our family for six years. I've watched it all. You are a wonderful woman, and the Lockwoods have failed you."

A painful lump formed in Seraphina's throat. She lowered her lashes, fighting back the rising tide of emotion.

"That ungrateful bastard."

The matriarch's tone shifted to a biting fury as she spoke of Dominic. "He's my own grandson, and I know exactly what kind of man he is. His core isn't rotten, but he's completely blind. He ignores the person tearing herself apart for him, and violently protects the one causing all the chaos."

Seraphina pressed her lips tightly together.

The older woman let out a heavy sigh, gently patting Seraphina's hand. "If you want a divorce, I support you."

Seraphina looked up, genuinely shocked.

The matriarch met her gaze with absolute sincerity.

"Dominic isn't worth throwing your entire life away for. Leave the Lockwood family and go build a beautiful life for yourself. All I want is for you to finally find some happiness."

Seraphina choked up, a tear slipping down her cheek before she could stop it.

She had endured six years of hell. She had been insulted by her mother-in-law, tormented by Yvette, neglected by her husband, and rejected by her own daughter—and through it all, she had refused to shed a single tear.

Yet these few words of genuine kindness shattered the impenetrable walls she had spent years building.

"Thank you, Grandma."

The older woman smiled weakly. "Don't thank me. I should be thanking you. I only have this life because you saved it."

Seraphina shook her head again. "It was the right thing to do."

"It wasn't an obligation."

The matriarch's tone grew fierce. "You saved my life, yet I failed to protect yours. Seraphina, I am so deeply sorry."

Seraphina finally broke, letting the tears fall freely.

She wiped her face, took a deep, shuddering breath, and stood up.

"Please get some rest, Grandma. I'm going to head out."

The matriarch nodded, watching her walk toward the door before calling out one last time, "Seraphina."
