FROM DISCARDED WIFE TO UNTOUCHABLE WOMAN Two Bold Lines
Serena's POVThe phone rang again.I was standing in the station hallway, my hand still resting on the door frame. I watched my bodyguard pull out his phone. His face stayed the same, but he checked the screen a bit longer than usual."Mr. Vance, ma'am.""I figured.""This is his twelfth call since morning."I looked at him. "Twelfth?""Yes, ma'am." He handed me the phone. "The first one came at six."The commissioner was standing a few steps back, acting like he was not listening. I took the phone, turned my back to him, and walked out of the station before I picked up."Where are you?"No hello.Elliot spoke in a low, flat voice that was so controlled that I knew he was not calm."Out.""I can see that. That is why I am asking where.""You already know where."Silence. Then, "Someone sent me a photo.""Of what?""Of my fiancée walking into the central police station with a limp and a bodyguard, without telling me." Another silence. "It has been shared eleven thousand times in forty
FROM DISCARDED WIFE TO UNTOUCHABLE WOMAN Case Closed
Serena's POV It was a week before the wedding, and the house was a whirlwind of activity.The house had turned into a factory of silk and measuring tape. Seamstresses knelt around my ankles, florists argued with the decorators, and every few minutes someone asked me to smile, turn, or breathe in.I went through it all absent-mindedly. Elliot had been around for most of the week, but all he'd done was give me instructions. "Eat. Rest. Take the medication." That was it. He still hadn't given me the police report, and I was starting to get frustrated.I'd asked Austin about it twice, but both times he'd just looked at his shoes and said, "Mr. Vance says the police are handling it." That was the end of it. I stopped asking because it was clear that was all I was going to get. "I have a checkup," I told the stylist on Thursday morning, slipping out of the dress. "The doctor said I shouldn't miss it."That was the truth. The checkup was at ten, and it was at the hospital, just seven minu
FROM DISCARDED WIFE TO UNTOUCHABLE WOMAN Love Each Other
The reaction on their faces was priceless. Finn was the first to speak.“Don't think you can deceive us again, dear brother.” He turned to the rest of the family. “If only y’all believed me from the start. Each and every time, you place your trust in Elliot, and never care for what I have to say. Why? Because I am illegitimate??”“Finn-”“I told y’all from the start,” he pointed at Elliot and Serena, “They were playing us for a fool! Elliot can never be in love. We all know what happened two years ago.”“That's enough, Finn.” Jenson said. Bringing up Sandra was the surest method to rage bait Elliot and that was the last thing he wanted. “What happened two years ago?” Serena asked but the room went silent. Jenson rose and said to Elliot, “Serena wants to end this, are you going to force her to stay?”Elliot looked at Serena, “are you choosing to leave?”Serena knew he was reminding her of the choices. “Your family doesn't want me here. Everyone is quick to point accusing fingers at
FROM DISCARDED WIFE TO UNTOUCHABLE WOMAN I Love Her
Serena turned to her abruptly. “Joke about anything else, Karen, just not that.”Karen took her friend's hand. “I am serious, Serena! If not, why else would he keep you by his side?”“The answer is simple. He wants to punish me. He can't bear the idea of letting me go. I bruised his ego.”“Well…that is not entirely wrong. But beneath all that is his true feelings. Think about it! It's just like in those novels we read back in college.”Serena chuckled, “that was college, Karen. Plus, novels are fictional.”“But just think about it, Serena. Elliot is dangerous and manipulative. The second he found out, you'd have been in jail or even in a place far worse.”She continued, “But he paid for your treatment, and is pushing ahead with the wedding. He even wants you to carry his heir. Talk about possessiveness!”Serena snatched her hand away. “You're exaggerating. Elliot cannot be in love with me. I'm just a tool to help him climb up.”Karen made a face, causing Serena to roll her eyes. “An

Finn cursed, sliding his hand from under my gown. He straightened up and put on a casual expression. “Kelv, where have you been?” He asked, patting his shoulder. “Your phone has been unreachable.”“I had to handle something back home.” Kelvin replied, actively avoiding my gaze. “Wrong timing, man.” Finn whispered but I caught it. He turned and was heading for the stairs.“How is Serena?” Kelvin asked, stopping Finn from leaving. Finn shrugged, “I heard she regained consciousness three days ago,” and took the first two steps.Karen rose from the couch abruptly, “Consciousness?”“Oh, I forgot to tell you.” Finn started, “She got into an accident on the night of the engagement. She's fine now though.”“What?” Karen panicked. “How could you keep that away from me?”“You weren't fine either, Karen.” Finn said as he disappeared up the stairs. “There was no need to stress you on it.”I ignored him and turned to Kelvin. “Will you please take me to the hospital?” “I-”“Please.” He couldn'
FROM DISCARDED WIFE TO UNTOUCHABLE WOMAN Sincerity
Serena's POV I couldn't believe my ears. Is he really choosing to keep me by his side? I know the conditions are scary, but I imagined an angrier Elliot. I guess he couldn't be that angry, after all I lost the child and he didn't spend a dime on it.“Which are you choosing, huh? Don't you want to leave anymore?”I didn't know what to say. Words failed me. “If you're thinking of a way out, forget it. You can't escape.” “Blackmailing me again, aren't you?” I said with a sad smile. “Don't you remember what I told you in the car?” He paused and continued, “We use what we have to get what we want.” “Whatever.” I wiped my tears and preferred to change the topic. “Have the police found the culprit?”He raised a brow, “Why are you concerned about that?”“I have to know who killed my child.”“The accident couldn't have been intentional, Serena. Besides, you left the party and-” he paused, as if something clicked. “Hold on, why did you leave the party?”“I needed some time alone.”“At that
