Alexander's POV

She shrugged lightly. “Life, mostly. Work. The usual chaos.”

I chuckled quietly. “You and your deep morning thoughts.”

She smiled over her shoulder. “You’d be surprised how much thinking gets done before seven a.m.”

For a few moments, the silence between us was comfortable. The smell of fried eggs and butter filled the air, wrapping the kitchen in a familiar warmth.

I poured my own cup of coffee and sat at the small table, watching her as she moved around the room. There was a feeling of grounding in this still, calm, ordinary.

"Someone is picking us up later," I said at last. "She'll take Mom to the hospital."

Alexa nodded. "Good. She needs that checkup."

"Yeah," I whispered. "She's been waiting for it."

"Good," she said, smiling softly. "She needs something to look forward to."

I looked at her then, at how naturally she smiled, at how much she filled the space with warmth. For a moment, I wished I could be as good at that.

Then my phone rang again.

    Alexander's POVI awoke and opened my eyes to morning light filtering through the drapes.I remained there for a moment, wrapped in the silence of early dawn. My phone clock flashed 6:00 a.m.There was a faint smile tugging at my lips. I couldn't remember the last time I slept so soundly. Maybe it was the peace after the storm, or maybe my body had just worn itself out fighting fatigue.Either situation felt strange, good, but strange.Militating myself out of bed to shower, my phone rang.The phone had already rung, breaking the silence rudely. I slowly picked it up and looked at the caller ID.Darla.I cleared my throat and spoke. "Good morning.""Morning, Alex," she responded cheerfully. "Did I wake you up?""Not especially," I replied, sitting up. "I'd already woken up.""Great," she said. "I called to let you know that I'm going to come and get you in a bit. I'll get your mom, too, while I'm passing by."I touched my eyes and smiled halfheartedly. "Alright. What time?""Uh… " she

    Serena's POVI bathed. The warm water stripped away the weight of the day.My mind wandered again to Damien, his teasing, his peculiar smile when he said he hadn't called Pristine yet.I didn't think of it again. That was just him, being annoying and moody after all.When I came out, towel-wrapped, Ella stood in the doorway."You need to sleep, Serena," she told her firmly, smiling kindly."I was just about to tell you that," I replied, rubbing my hair dry, laughing.She laughed. "All right, all right. I'm off before you start sermonizing me.""Goodnight, Ella.""Goodnight."She departed down the hallway, and I hung back for a moment, hearing her footsteps recede.When I came back inside the room, Sophia was already in bed, allegedly sleeping. Her profile was facing the light away from her, and the shallow breathing and gigantic melodramatic snores.Too dramatic. Too loud.I had raised an eyebrow. "You're kidding me," I muttered.Then snoring increased to a higher level, nearly dramat

    Serena's POVI leaned back against the chair and sighed. “Half the board will probably faint, the other half will question every decision I’ve ever made.”Sophia chuckled softly. “Sounds like a normal day for you, then.”I shot her a look. “You’re not helping.”“I’m just saying,” she teased. “You’re the woman who faced Alexander in court without flinching. A few cranky board members shouldn’t scare you.”That was different, I grumbled, rubbing my temples. "This time, they'll see me not as the mysterious partner who gives orders from behind the scenes, but as Serena, the one they never knew they were playing with.""And which," Sophia sat up on her elbow to remark, "is why it's going to be fun to watch."I smiled tiredly at her. "You have a sick sense of humor.""I've been so enlightened beforehand," she answered lightly.I looked at the closed bathroom door. Water still poured steadily behind it, its beat muffled by walls. "Ella doesn't have a clue tomorrow will be so complicated," I m

    Serena's POVWe had decided to alternate showering in the evening. Sophia, of course, had dibs on first, gathered her belongings, and went into the bathroom.As soon as the door closed and the sounds of the water were running through the room, the room was silent.Ella sat at the side of the bed, towel-drying her damp hair. I rested back against the armchair, finally able to breathe.Then, after a brief silence, Ella looked up at me, questioning in her eyes. "May I ask you something?"I nodded. "Of course."She paused, then whispered, "It's about Alexander."I blinked in shock. "What about him?"Ella shrugged ever so slightly. "I just… never really got what was going on between the two of you. You never talk about him. From the times that I did see him, he seemed… nice. I always wondered why you divorced him."A quick, sour smile grazed my lips. "That's a long story."Ella tilted her head, looking at me with interest. "So it's not because he was cruel or anything?"I shook my head. "N

    Serena's POV"She isn't," I replied quickly. "At least, not until Damien chooses to ruffle things up again."Sophia crossed her arms and settled back in her chair. "Well, let us all hope your little conversation with him is successful, then. Because if Pristine appears on that doorstep tomorrow, I'm not waiting around for the fireworks.""You'll be here," I replied with a small smile.Sophia smiled back. "Maybe a little."Tension lifted for a moment. Ella tapped at her plate, clearly preoccupied, and Sophia began to pick at her phone. Then she looked up, voice having unwound. "By the way, Ella… did Sam get in touch with you at all lately?"Ella rolled her eyes and let out a groan. "No. Don't even start."Sophia's eyebrows flew upward. "What? I'm just wondering.""Huh-huh," Ella teased. "You're always just asking. Every time you say his name, you've got the look on your face."Sophia feigned indignation. "What look?""The devilish look," Ella said curtly.Sophia smiled guilelessly. "I
