This is a good read I’m just not too fond of Serena’s repeated inability to have faith in herself.

Prologue.
   " I could kill you right now" Gerald muttered against her skin, kissing the rapid pulse at the base of her throat. Serena shivered, enjoying the feel of him off as her hands sank deeper into his hair.   " Or you could touch me,"  She muttered through gritted teeth. Even though she couldn't see his face in the dimly lit room, she could feel his smirk on her hardened nipples as he teased them with his tongue. A moan escaped her lips.      " I think I like the second choice better." He drawled. Serena gulped as his hands slid to her underthings, tugging them off. Her eyes snapped open, terror slashing through her as she stiffened under him. Gerald noticed her reaction and raised himself to look at her, his dark eyes scowling. Serena swallowed.   " Trying to back out now?" He asked, staring at her intently. Serena pursed her lips and avoided his gaze, making to leave from under his body but his strong

Chapter 1
Serena woke up with a start, squinting at the bright light that shone directly on her face. Raising her hands to block the sunlight, she sat up straight, searching for the clock. She found it and was surprised at how late she had woken. It was almost time for breakfast. Stepping out from the bed, she glanced at her beside table, her gaze resting on the picture that was placed there. Her chest tightened as she remembered the day it was taken. Although she was smiling, her thoughts were far from happy.Sighing softly, She stood up from the bed when she heard a knock on the door." Who is there?" She called out, her voice slightly hoarse. The door opened and Lana, one of her personal maids peeked in." It's me Ma'am." She replied. " Come in," Serena replied as she dropped back on the bed. Lana walked in with a basket in hand, bowing slightly. " Good morning ma'am. How was your night?"" Hmm..." Serena murmured, shuddering as s

Chapter 2( Two Days later)" Oh... Yeah... Oh God..." Scarlett moaned as Gerald thrust in and out of her at an incredible pace. Her eyes clamped shut and sweat dripping from her forehead, it was obvious she was enjoying it. Way too much." Oh God... I'm coming... I'm cumm..." she didn't get to finish her sentence as she groaned aloud, her body spasming, jerking uncontrollably. Gerald continued for a few more moments and pulled out just in time to have his release on the bed. Scarlett lay slumped on the bed, unduly satisfied. Staring at Gerald with lazy eyes, her face broke in to a grin." I missed you so much." She muttered, her voice dripping with satisfaction.Gerald shrugged, breathing heavily as he arranged his clothes. He had come here to release all the pent up energy he had stored after Serena's rejection. So, he couldn't really say he missed her. He realized Scarlett was still talking and gave her his full attention." Can't believe you s

Chapter 3
Gerald stared at the approaching mansion, his mood getting worse by the second. The week he used to escape and done nothing to remove the anger from his heart and now he had to face it again. Taking in a deep breath, he tried to hide as much displeasure as he could possibly do.Serena spotted his carriage the moment it drove him and stood up from the garden she was tending. Hurriedly cleaning her hands, she hurried towards the chariot, the joy in her heart immeasurable. A smile had worked it's way on her face, making her look radiant. For a moment, she forgot she was supposed to look cool and collected.Gerald saw the look on Serena's face and all of a sudden began he struggling to remember why he was angry in the first place. Was she happy to see him? A man could hope. He descended from the carriage, and the butler bowed in greeting, taking the briefcase from him and walking into the house." Welcome back. How was your trip?" Serena asked, breathless. Ger

     Silence was the order of the day as they settled to have their dinner. Thick, unbreaking silence. Serena had stopped crying a while ago and she looked calm and collected. Gerald on the other hand couldn't say that about himself. He couldn't shake off the previous guilt he felt, no matter how hard he tried. He glanced at her as she ate, noticing she barely ate anything, just picking on her food. Beyond her calm exterior, he could see how tense she was. She definitely didn't like being around him.      " I'm sorry…" he mumbled, half wishing she didn't hear what he said. He glanced at her and she was staring at him, her eyes slightly widened. She caught herself in time, rapidly shaking her head.       " It's okay. I shouldn't have bothered you."        " No it's not. How can you say it's okay? I should not have have treated you like that." He continued, stil

 " What!?" Serena muttered, her voice faint. She glanced at him but he just looked at her, the grim expression on his face. With blurry eyes, she turned to the papers. It's true, she thought as her heart kept breaking. Gerald does want to divorce her.     " Why?" She asked, her voice barely a whisper. Swallowing, she tried again. " Did I do anything wrong?"    Gerald shifted in his sit but he looked at her. " We both know this isn't working. We're both not ready for it."    " But it's never something we can't work out." She stressed.     " Well, I don't think we can." Gerald muttered with a note of finality.  " It'll be much better if we divorce now before things get messy."     Serena took in a shaky breath, cleaning off a stray tear. " Does your mother know about this?" She asked and Gerald stiffened.    " What has she got do with this?"

    " You plan to seduce me?" Gerald asked, amused. Serena nerves were all over the place but she managed to keep her cool. Breathing out, she nodded.     " Yes."     " How?" He asked. Serena rubbed her arms then, avoiding his gaze. Mulling over it for a while, she looked up at him.     " I don't know yet. But I promise to think of a way."     Gerald chuckled despite of himself. He couldn't believe he was listening to this. " This is most absurd thing I've ever heard. I can't believe I'm listening to you."      Serena smiled, her chin raised. Her eyes sparkled as she spoke the next words. " I know you're attracted to me, you deny it but it's there. I plan to use it to my advantage."         " What if it doesn't work?" Gerald found himself asking.      " Then, it'll be my loss. But I do

Chapter 7Serena stared at her, unable to say something for a while. Scarlett moved closer, the smile still on her face. " Remember me?" She asked and Serena pursed her lips, her hands clenching into fists. She took in a deep breath and let it out, calming herself." Should I not?" Serena replied coolly, her features relaxed but with her blood boiling." Well... Of course you do. I'm not someone to be forgotten so easily." Scarlett replied, fluttering her lashes. Serena resisted the urge to scoff." What are you doing here?"" Well, I came to have lunch when I saw the two of you walk in. I was really surprised. For one thing, you two really look the part." Leaning in, she muttered the last bit quietly " The question is though, do you feel the part?"Serena stiffened, remembering the first time she met Scarlett.**Flashback**It was at the party where Gerald's mother announced she would be getting married to him.

Chapter 8
      (Few days later)      Serena stared at the mirror, watching as Lana dressed her up. It's been days since her last encounter with Gerald and she can't say she's forgiven for it. Her body still tingles when she remembers  that night and sometimes she has the overwhelming urge to walk up to Gerald and ask him to finish what he started. If only it would end well.      He's been leaving to London more frequently now, especially before she wakes up  but she feels their relationship has improved because he no longer gives her cold shoulders anymore. Or once again, that's what she thinks. She really hopes so. She's not sure she likes this rollercoaster of a relationship.    " I'm done, madam." Lana spoke out, pulling Serena from her train of thoughts. Serena gasped softly, surprised at the way she looked. From the mirror, she could see Lana grinning proudly and she smiled back. Lana did take c

Chapter 9Whimpering, Serena sniffed, tears slipping out of her eyes. She'd never been this hurt before... No, this wasn't hurting. It was killing her. She didn't know how she would face the world after this. She wanted to die." You monster..." She groaned, anger and pain mixed as one. A body hovered above her and she squirmed in fear. It placed a kiss on her cheeks and Serena would have swiped it off if she had strength left in her body." My name is not monster. It's Thomas. Remember that. Thomas." he whispered to her ears before turning her forcefully to face him." Let me go!..Let me go!! " She screamed but of course, he didn't listen...no one ever heard her...Serena opened her eyes, panting heavily, sweat dripping from her forehead. Sitting up on the bed, she looked around her. There's no one in her room. Closing her eyes, she palmed her forehead. She did not just have a nightmare about that night. That horrible night.." It's okay... i
