He opened the door.

Kelvin and Karen would not have noticed Finn's presence, if he did not knock the stool by the door down.

Shocked, both Karen and Kelvin stood from the couch abruptly and turned to Finn.

“What is this?” Finn asked, staring at both of them.

“What?” Kelvin replied.

“Hitting on my fiancé, Kelv?”

“It's not what you think, bro.” Kelvin denied. “She was in a sad mood about her friend's abduction. The movie was just a means to-”

“-to make her feel happy.” Finn completed, and then b

    By the time Adrian arrived at the hospital, Camille had already delivered her baby boy. His solemn appearance made his lies about traffic believable, not to add the fact that everyone was happy over the news. They quickly put away reprimanding Adrian and focused on staring at the handsome child. Camille did not gain consciousness until two days later. Her room was immediately filled with the Whitmores and the Holts all around her and the baby. Adrian was responsible for decorating the room, and making sure she awoke to flowers and blue balloons around her. Still, her smiles didn't quite reach her eyes. He guessed she still held a grudge against him, and thought that the flowers and balloons were not enough to apologize for his absence. Soon, the Holts had to leave and not long after, Helen took the hint from Adrian's gaze and left the room.“Camille-”“You went to her, didn't you?”“To her?”She turned to him, “Don't play dumb with me, Adrian.”“Listen, I know I should have been h

Why does her happiness matter to you?”“Please,” Karen started. “Please don't start a fight because of me. I asked for the movie out of boredom. I'll leave now.”She picked up her phone from the glass table, and with a short glance at Kelvin, started for the door. But Finn grabbed her arm the moment she walked by him.Karen gasped, “What are you doing?” He turned and dragged her out of the room, straight for his bedroom. He pushed her in and

    Jenson's head was still wrapped around the glass tube containing Serena's blood. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became.His personal aide, Kyle, arrived shortly after. He dropped on the seat opposite Jenson, and wiped his sweaty face with a handkerchief.“I'd gone to the station, thinking you'd still be there.” He said in between trying to catch his breath. “Why did you leave so early?”Jenson brought out the glass tube from his breast pocket.“There's something I need to find out.” He said.“Whose blood is that?”“Serena's.”“Miss Serena? Your-”Jenson threw him a stare and he immediately kept quiet.“We need to test this blood today, otherwise we'd miss the chance.” Jenson said after a moment of silence.“But, what exactly will you be testing for?”“That's what I'm trying to figure out. I don't know.”Kyle had a quizzical look on his face. Jenson understood and explained how he'd come about the blood.“And now Elliot has closed the investigation following her req

    “I owe you then!” Serena replied, her smile reaching her ears.Elliot grabbed her hands, “Let's go.”“Just a minute.” She stopped and turned to Jenson. “Can we speak for a moment?”“Of course.” Jenson agreed. Elliot followed behind them until Serena stopped him with, “In private. I'll be right back.”At a corner of the building, Serena spoke in low tones. She was visibly scared and didn't know how to broach the topic.“Uhm.. how's your injury? Hope you aren't hurt elsewhere?”Jenson shook his head. “I'm okay, Serena. Are you? You look frightened.”Serena smiled to wade it off. “I get tense when I have to sit in front of people questioning me, it's nothing.”“Okay?” He arched his brow.“I just want to know if you're sure you really didn't see anything at the scene?” She said it quickly, as if to get it over and done with.“No, I didn't.” He said slowly. “I thought you asked this already?”“Well, I just wanted to be sure since I will be questioned.” She replied. “There's nothing to wor

    Serena's POV If facing your fears was as easy as it sounded, I wouldn't have spent more than an hour in the bathroom. I couldn't rat Adrian out, yet I couldn't give a wrong statement for fear of Jenson. At this point, I guess I should just believe his words.I mean, if he'd actually seen something at the scene he should have brought it up out of curiosity, right? Given how he'd been so thorough about protecting the family name, Jenson would have definitely mentioned it if he'd seen something. I forced myself to believe this before I stepped out of the bathroom. However, when I found a man with broad shoulders, his back to me, dressed in completely black outfit, I was frightened and unexpectedly screamed, holding my towel tightly to my chest.Elliot turned sideways.I let out a sigh, clutching my towel. “What are you doing here?”“Screams disrupt my line of thoughts, Serena.” He said casually. “Not the bed screams though.” I didn't quickly understand what he meant by that.“I nee

  • FROM DISCARDED WIFE TO UNTOUCHABLE WOMAN    All That Reaction

    Serena's POV Upon arriving at the mansion, I immediately went into the guest room, which had now become my room since this ruse began.I stood naked in the bathroom, in front of the mirror checking the small bump that had begun to form. It was intact. I sat against the tub and breathed a sigh of relief. Back there, I really thought I was going to lose my baby. Nothing else flashed before my eyes, not even my life. For a second there, I wished I had chosen a quiet life with my baby instead of this involvement with the Vances that was going to lead to my end. The warm bath helped calm my nerves, and I felt better when I stepped out and put on my nightgown ready for bed. The baby must have been stressed after all that ordeal, I should get enough rest.I tried to imagine that was what Doctor Layla would say, since I couldn't reach her.Suddenly, I heard the door open, and when I looked up it was Elliot with a cold expression on his face.“Are you in love with Jenson?”“What?” “Answe
