Serena’s POVIt was a Tuesday morning and I was helping Maria in the kitchen when my phone rang. I rinsed my hands and rushed to pick up the phone when I glanced at the screen and froze staring at Dr. Kane’s name. “Aren't you going to answer that?” She asked, and I slid the answer button. I took a deep breath before answering. “Hello?”“Good morning, miss Serena,” he responded. “The client has gone through your file and he is ready for the surrogacy to commence. We can schedule the procedure this week if that's fine with you.”I had completely forgotten about it. Somehow, there was a sting of regret resting in my heart, but there was no turning back. “This week?” I asked. “Yes,” he replied. “We need to start as early as possible. How does tomorrow sound?” I held my breath, and calmed my nerves. I already took the money. What more could I say? I looked around the kitchen, and smiled at Maria as she hummed softly while chopping the vegetables. “Yes,” I said finally. “Tomorrow is f

Serena’s POV “Yes,” I said. “I agree.”I nodded, my mind already calculating how quickly I could pay off the loan sharks.Dr. Kane gently pushed the folder to me and opened a pen, placing it right in front of me. “This is the contract. It shows the medical procedures, your responsibilities, and the payment terms. I’ll go over the important parts, but you can take your time to review it as well.”I found myself nodding to everything he said. He pointed to a few paragraphs, explaining the payment schedule, the confidentiality clause, and the medical commitments. I was so focused on the parts he highlighted that I barely glanced at the rest.“Are you satisfied with everything, Miss?” He asked, holding my gaze. “Yes,” I said quickly.“Excellent. Then we just need your signature here… and here… and initial here.”I signed exactly where he pointed and kept thinking of one thing. My freedom from those men. When I finished, he smiled, closing the folder and placing it neatly on the desk. “

Serena’s POV His voice thundered over me and I struggled to breathe. “I want my money in full or I'll have you pay it up another way and trust me,” he said, walking to me and grabbed my chin. “You won't be able to pay even in death.”My eyes widened and I shuddered. “Do you understand?” He asked and I shook my head repeatedly until he let go. “Please, I need more time. You can have the first part. I swear I'll pay you. Please.”Maria appeared and she ran toward me but he pushed her off. “Don't hurt her, please!” I yelled and then pulled my hair harder. My scalp hurt and my neck felt like it would break. “You have three days,” the first man said, blowing out smoke. Three days? Where was I going to get two million in three days? “I can't do all that in three days,” I begged, but he smirked at me. “My time is expensive. And you're wasting it. Three days is what you get. No more, no less. If you don't then you'll give up the house or …” his eyes twinkled as he looked down, checking

Serena’s POV What should I do? Oh God. Please save me. I don't want to die. They wore black suits with a few buttons open and the tattoos told me I wasn't dealing with regular people. “Miss Serena,” the middle one and the tallest said. His voice was smooth but cold. “We're sorry for your loss.”Did he expect me to respond to that after scaring me half way to death? I kept quiet, shivering as he came closer. He studied me, and continued talking. “We'll keep this short. Your father owed us money. Quite a lot. And you're his daughter…so that means you now owe us.”“Huh?” I gasped. My voice shook as he took another step closer to me. “Y…you have the wrong person. My father had a lot of money. He didn't owe anyone.”They all laughed and I felt shallow. The second man and the shortest spoke. “He did sweetheart. Millions. Let me show you some evidence.”He clapped and some young man dressed in the same manner appeared with a file and handed it to him. He took it and tossed it to me. I c

Serena’s POV I slid a silk dress off the rack and handed it to the sales attendant without looking at the price tag.“That one too,” I said, pointing at the sequenced gown. “Wait. Take the bolts by the window. Oh Good heavens, no, take that skirt away. It's ugly.”The attendant nodded, her arms already full. My bodyguard followed me, his expression blank while he helped the attendant. I wasn't in a hurry. This was my life. After three more stores and fifteen bags, I swiped my card without flinching. The girl at the counter repeated her usual dialogue. “Thanks for shopping with us today, Miss Serena.”I gave her my usual polite smile and walked out of the store, heading for my car. Shopping was therapy for me. I was twenty three, young, rich, beautiful with a father that loved to spoil me. What more could a girl ask for? “Let's go home,” I ordered, taking off my glasses and sipping my cup of cappuccino as the bodyguard nodded and slipped in beside me after putting all the bags in
