Chapter 7

Author: Peanut Butter
When Serena returned to the villa, Cain came toward her with a smile, but the coldness in her eyes made him freeze.

"Serena, what's wrong? Did Adrian upset you again? You're already divorced. Don't let him get to you anymore.

"And Serena, when should we have our wedding? I was so excited last night thinking about marrying you officially that I couldn't sleep."

Serena said coldly, "Didn't you say you were willing to stay with me without any official status?"

Cain hesitated. Then an embarrasse

    Serena tried to find me. She searched every place I might go and asked all my friends, but no one knew where I was. I'd deleted all her contact information and changed my phone number.Finally, she tracked me down at the airport while I was waiting for my flight.She fell to her knees in front of me and begged for forgiveness. "Adrian, I was wrong. Cain tricked me. I didn't mean to get Jada killed. I just wanted to discipline her."I love you, and I loved her too. I never wanted to hurt either of you."I'm sorry. This is all my fault. Adrian, please forgive me one more time."I looked at her with contempt. "You want my forgiveness? Then bring Jada back to life. Make my leg whole again. Is that possible?"Serena noticed my unnatural stance and tears spilled down her cheeks. Her hand trembled as she reached toward my leg, pleading desperately. "Adrian, we can have more children. As many as you want. I'll find you the best doctors. They can fix your leg."Remember how happy we used

    When Serena returned to the villa, Cain came toward her with a smile, but the coldness in her eyes made him freeze."Serena, what's wrong? Did Adrian upset you again? You're already divorced. Don't let him get to you anymore."And Serena, when should we have our wedding? I was so excited last night thinking about marrying you officially that I couldn't sleep."Serena said coldly, "Didn't you say you were willing to stay with me without any official status?"Cain hesitated. Then an embarrassed expression crossed his face. "I'm willing either way, but I know you want to give me that status."Serena had always fallen for this act, but not this time. She spoke each word deliberately. "My husband will always be Adrian Westfield. And you killed Jada. You're going to pay with your life."Cain's eyes widened in shock. He tried to explain, but before he could get another word out, Serena slapped him twice across the face.Taylor and the security guards, who had appeared behind her at som

    Serena's heart skipped, but she recovered quickly. "Did Adrian come find you? Why are you helping him with this act? I knew it. He asked for a divorce yesterday, and today he already regrets it."Mom, don't worry about him. I'm not forgiving him this time. He needs to learn his lesson. Jada's just at the training facility for a little discipline. I know the owner there, so don't worry."Maya reeled from what she'd just heard. She couldn't even bring herself to ask about the divorce.Instead, she sobbed and scolded, "Have you lost your mind? Jada is dead because of you! Even animals protect their young, but you let her get mauled to death by dogs!"How did I give birth to a monster like you? You're going to destroy the Harlow family!"Serena said impatiently, "Mom, at your age, you shouldn't be playing along with Adrian's games. If he really knows he was wrong, he can come back and grovel to Cain and me."Maya saw red. She roared, "Get to the training facility right now! I'm waiti

    Serena's mockery faded. She stared at me without moving.My calm expression finally made her falter. After watching me for a while, she said in a low voice, "Adrian, think carefully. If you divorce me, I won't give you custody of Jada. You'll never see her again. She'll never call you dad again."And I won't give you another chance. Plenty of men want to be my husband."She couldn't threaten me with Jada anymore. I took a deep breath and said heavily, "I'll never see Jada again. She deserved better than a father like me."Serena looked at me in disbelief. "Every other time you threatened divorce, you demanded to take Jada with you. Now you're willing to give her up? Adrian, what game are you playing?"I stayed calm under her scrutiny. No matter what I said, she wouldn't believe me.Serena stared into my eyes, searching for any sign of deception. But all she found was emptiness and endless despair.After a long pause, she finally relented. "Fine, Adrian. You win. Just stop this n

    When I woke up again, I was in bed with my leg bandaged.The family doctor, Dr. Reeves, sat beside the bed, sighing repeatedly. Seeing I was awake, he started rambling. "How could Ms. Harlow be so heartless? She's thrown you away for that man and doesn't care if you live or die."You two used to be so good together. She learned sign language for you. Whenever she had time, she'd play with you and Jada. Every time I visited, I thought your relationship was so sweet."But everything changed after Cain moved in."He couldn't understand how a person could change so completely, tossing aside someone they once loved like garbage.I closed my eyes and said nothing more, only reminding him, "The Harlow family is about to fall apart. You should start looking for another position."I dragged my broken leg to Jada's room and folded her little clothes one by one, packing her favorite toys into boxes. Every single item reminded me of her innocent, lovely smile, the way she'd cling to me and c

    "Stop! Stop this at once! This is madness!"Maya's arrival interrupted Taylor as he tried to force the medicine down my throat. I fell from their grip and hit the ground, coughing violently. My mouth filled with the taste of blood.Maya surveyed the scene and sighed heavily. She helped me to my feet. "Adrian, are you alright?"I forced out a few words. "I'm fine."Maya's whole body trembled. She looked at me in disbelief. "Adrian, you can speak now?"She aged a decade in seconds. Her legs buckled and tears streamed down her face as she muttered, "It's over. It's all over."Serena looked at her strangely. "Mom, what's wrong with you?"Maya's voice came out tired and worn. "Years ago, when the Harlow family was on the brink of ruin, your father consulted a psychic at great cost. She said that as long as you married a mute born under a specific sign, the Harlow fortune would hold."But once the mute spoke, the family would be destroyed."The prediction was right, but the psychic
