When Serena arrived back at the Morales family villa, she froze at the sight that greeted her.

Alfonso was home.

For a moment, she thought she was imagining it. But there he was — seated at the long dining table, a thick stack of documents spread out before him. His once-dark hair had turned almost entirely grey, his posture slouched, his face lined and weary. He looked like a man who had aged ten years in the span of a week.

He must have discharged himself without a word. The hospital had clearly tried to keep him, but they’d also kept something else from him — his terminal liver cancer. They probably thought it would be cruel to tell a man in his state the truth.

Serena’s heart ached at the sight of him.

Alfonso now wore a pair of reading glasses, squinting down at the contract in front of him, coughing every few minutes as his frail body struggled to keep up. Each shallow breath, each racking cough, felt heavier in the silence of the room.

She watched as he slowly turned page after

    "The painting is done, Grandpa. Would you like to see it?"Cornelius Vanderbilt looked up from his recliner, a soft smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. “No need,” he said, waving his hand lightly. “Let’s go downstairs and admire the flowers. The garden’s in full bloom.”Outside, spring had unfurled her colors in full glory. The garden, meticulously kept and bursting with vibrant tulips, hyacinths, and peonies, was alive with bees humming and petals dancing in the breeze. At his age, Cornelius found simple joys in nature—in the warm sun, the scent of fresh blooms, and the tranquility of growing things. It brought him peace.Serena nodded with a smile. “Alright, let’s go.”As she moved toward the stairs, Alexander followed silently behind her like a shadow. Cornelius’s gaze flickered toward him, brows twitching with a mixture of amusement and irritation. He opened his mouth, intending to poke fun at Alexander’s brazen presence—after all, the invitation had been for Serena, not hi

    The atmosphere in the car was heavy with unspoken tension.Serena sat silently in the back seat, her eyes fixed on her phone. She hadn’t said a word since they got in. Jonathan drove up front, quiet as always, while Alexander sat beside her, their legs barely brushing—yet the warmth of that subtle contact radiated through the thin fabric of her trousers like a live wire.Outside, the city lights flickered past the windows, casting soft, shifting shadows that played across Serena’s face. The dim interior of the car only amplified the contrast between her stillness and the occasional flicker of emotion that crossed her features.Ten minutes passed.She hadn’t even looked his way once.Alexander’s initial frustration gradually morphed into helplessness. He studied her profile—the tight line of her lips, the way her hand rested on her knee, her posture slightly rigid. She looked as though she were lost in thought, weary from whatever had burdened her day. Her eyes eventually fluttered clos

    At the same time, Serena remained completely unaware that the actress Whitney had slapped on set belonged to the powerful Whitehall family. She had tried calling Whitney several times, but each call went unanswered. Whitney was clearly sulking, refusing to engage.Left with no choice, Serena dialed her agent instead.The young woman on the other end answered with a trembling voice, fully aware of Serena’s status. “Ms. Morales…”“Where is she?” Serena asked calmly, though her voice carried a steely edge. “What’s Whitney doing right now?”“She’s… sleeping,” the agent said hesitantly. “I knocked on her door a few times, but she wouldn’t open it.”“As her agent, you should at least know why she hit someone,” Serena said, her voice still cool but pressing.The girl let out a breath, then confessed, “Yes, I know. The director suddenly brought in a new second female lead—without informing us—and made Whitney reshoot an entire sequence. It was that slap scene. The new actress had to slap Whit

    When Serena woke, the morning had long since slipped away—her phone glowed with the time: 10:17 a.m.Her head pounded like a distant drum, her limbs heavy and sluggish. As she slowly sat up, a wave of dizziness washed over her. Shivering slightly, she groped for her nightstand and downed a dose of cold medicine. The moment she tried to descend the stairs, her legs buckled, and she nearly collapsed.Aunt Torres, hearing the noise, rushed over from the kitchen. Her eyes widened in concern as she reached out and touched Serena’s forehead. “Ms. Morales, you’re burning up. Just cold medicine won’t be enough. You need to take something for the fever too.”Serena nodded weakly, her voice barely above a whisper. “I’ll be fine. I’ll just go in later—”Before she could finish, her phone buzzed on the counter. The caller ID flashed: Marilyn.She answered immediately. “What’s wrong?”“Ms. Morales,” Marilyn’s voice came through in a panic, “something’s happened to Whitney!”That jolted Serena more

    Alexander had already arrived.His bodyguards had sealed off the entire perimeter—a crumbling two-story building in one of New York City's grimiest slums. The structure looked abandoned at first glance, with paint peeling off the walls and boarded-up windows barely holding back the gloom inside. But a closer inspection revealed something far more disturbing.The inside was a disaster zone.Bloodstains marred the cracked plaster walls, mixing with grime and streaks of dried animal waste. It looked more like a crime scene than anything else. The air was thick with the stench of decay, sweat, and fear.This wasn’t their first operation—these dog thieves were professionals in cruelty. They had crammed the latest batch of stolen dogs into a single rusted cage, piled together like trash. The cage reeked of uncleaned filth—clotted blood, rotting kibble, and excrement.Among the terrified dogs were several clear purebreds—pampered pets recently lost or snatched. There were mutts too, strays l

    The next morning, Serena stepped out of Le Châteauesque Manor, her heels clicking sharply against the polished stone steps. The early sunlight cut across the estate’s sculpted hedges and stately marble columns, but Serena’s mind was already miles ahead—on contracts, leverage, and the chessboard that was the entertainment world.She had already contacted her lawyer, instructing them to make Ruiz Star Entertainment cover Whitney’s contract termination f*e. Simon had handled Whitney’s contract meticulously; her lawyer barely had to lift a finger to make the case airtight.But back at Ruiz Star, Anita Ruiz was seething.Losing yet another rising star to Serena was an insult she could no longer stomach. First Serena had stolen a prized script, then Simon himself, and now Whitney—their brightest new talent.Later that afternoon, Anita found herself at a high-end restaurant downtown, clinking her wine glass absently as she tried to ignore the weight of failure pressing on her chest.
