• Shattered Vows: Silent Revenge.   Chapter Twenty Six

  Serena's PovMr. Johnson was one annoying businessman that didn't waste any opportunity he had to make a pass at me. Now, hearing that Killian and I have separated, he's definitely going to have a lot to laugh about.Also, seeing me working as a secretary for Adrien Volkov was only going to make it worse. I can imagine how my skin would crawl at his irritating voice.“Gosh. "I really don't want to do this,” I said, closing my eyes and making an expression that probably seemed like I was going to cry.I opened my eyes and walked up to the railing where I leaned my arms on.The fact that I didn't want to set my eyes on that man or even have any conversation with him was enough for me to back down. But then, I couldn't let the situation dictate me.I had to do this, if it was gradually going to be my way to gradually being capable enough to get back at Samantha.I began to flip open the pages, walking around the rooftop as I tried to assimilate some necessary information.About fifteen m

  Serena's PovI left the house and hailed a cab. I wouldn't want to come late today, I ought to be early.“Good morning, ma'am.” The driver greeted me as I got into the car.He wore a fluffy jacket and had the warmest smile on.“Good morning. Please take me to Volkov Enterprises.”“Alright, ma'am.”Winding down the glass window, I stared at the buildings we drove past, and I remembered when I had passed by some certain places with my own car. How funny life can be. One day, you can be happy, and another, you can be sad.The wind blew past my face, making me squint my eyes. My hair was in the air due to the influence of the wind, and I liked it that way. It felt like it was blowing my headaches away.The car slowed down and when I looked forward to finding out the reason, I discovered there was slight traffic congestion, one that should clear soon. Then a car also slowed down beside us. It was a really fancy car, a Porsche 911. The window in the back seat gradually came down, and my ey

  Serena's PovI was shocked!Did he just switch his tone with me? Why is he acting this way all of a sudden?“I… I don't understand. "Why the sudden change?” I asked him, completely baffled.“Serena, I think there's a reason we came together. It's for work, isn't it? It's to make you have a big comeback, right? Good. "So, let's concentrate on that,” he uttered, and looked back at his phone.It was all so surprising for him to change. Or did I perhaps do something that got him annoyed, and he didn't know how to express it?Hmm. Well, I don't need to feel so worked up about this. As long as he's still willing to help me, I should try to ignore this. But at the same time, it hurts that just when I thought we both had something for each other, he started acting this way.Throughout our time in the car, we didn't speak to each other and even on the plane either, until we got to our city.“I’ll be expecting you at the company tomorrow. You have a meeting with Mr. Johnson, a CEO dealing in fa

  Serena's PovJust then, my phone began to ring, and my heart skipped a beat, causing it to beat harder as I was so anxious to find out that it might be the blackmailer who was calling me.I turned my phone's screen downwards because I just didn't want to look. Who knew the instruction the person wanted to give me or what he/she would say that could scare me. I didn't think I was ready for that. After the sound went silent for a while, it rang again.“Uhm… I don't mind, you can take your calls.” Eunice urged me with a slight smile.“No, I really don't want to.”“You should. You were the one who also told me to answer my calls. Don't keep a person waiting over the phone.” I let out a sigh, and looked at my phone, feeling anxiety rise in my chest. If not for Eunice, I wouldn't have thought of answering the call, so things wouldn't have worsened because of her suspecting something was wrong.“Alright.” I responded in a low tone, and sucked in a great deal of air, then let it out.I can

  Serena's Pov “What solution?” I asked, inquisitively.I wondered what kind of solution she was so interested in.“Uhm… How about we take a walk to the beach to relax?” she suggested, and I nodded after thinking about it briefly.“Alright then. Wait for me. The driver should be around here somewhere.” “Alright. "I'll be here waiting.” I said to her, and Eunice left.While she was away, I began to think of everything that had happened so far. The fact that a chip was in my neck made me feel sick and uncomfortable. I could be heard by the blackmailer and even be watched at the same time. Gosh. What did I get myself into? Or how did I get into this?Soon, Eunice got back with her driver, and we headed to her car which was parked outside. As we got in, I decided to sit at the back while Eunice preferred to sit at the front.While we were in the car, I decided to test out if truly the blackmailer could see what I was doing and hear me as well, so I texted that same number.“To be certain

  Serena's Pov My mouth gaped in shock at the revelation. I never expected that she would say something like that regarding Simon. Her brother was really gay. It was something that no one would have ever guessed about. Now that I think about it, everything that really seemed weird now makes sense to me.The fact that Eunice had revealed to me that he liked manly partners made me realize that he was gay and so many hints had been given already. So, all along, it seems so much like Adrien is the one he likes after all. Realizing this was so cringe. Another man was interested in my fiancé, at least, to the public, or maybe it was beginning to seem real between us now.There was no way my mind could be playing tricks on me at this moment. All the photos and questions asked about Adrien were all a hint at the fact that he was in love with Adrien.“Gosh.” I said under my breath and looked at where Simon sat, and noticed he was no longer there. He must have left while I was busy having a cha
