(Serena's POV)In the afternoon, I woke up without Marcus at my side. He must have returned to work, it seems there is something urgent coming at his company. His phone keeps ringing since yesterday but he keeps ignoring it.Yes, I give in. I can't help but smile from ear to ear every time I remember the beautiful moments we created last night and this morning. I am happy and euphoric as if I'm floating on a cloud nine with butterflies in my stomach. But questions keep rummaging in my head.Will it gonna be alright? What will happen if he found out about my illness? Will he kick me out again because I'm a burden to him?Everything is just so sudden. My feelings for Marcus cannot be hidden anymore. He found out about my depression. He found out about me being harassed. Yes, I was not raped but the feeling of being locked in a room, without food or water, beaten up like I was a punching bag, was the worst-case scenario. It feels like my life has almost ended.Marcus said those monster
(Serena's POV)Suzy and I headed down to the kitchen to give her water, to calm her nerves while she still wiping the snot from her nose. "Are you alright?" I asked after giving her a glass of water.She nodded before drinking the whole glass of water. "I'm good."She dropped the glass on the counter and start peeling the clementine from the fridge.Aside from her swollen eyes and reddish nose, she loses some weight. She's a huge fan of K-pop, and she sometimes follows the trend of the way they wear, hairstyle, and make up but seeing her becoming skinny, I think she's on a diet again, just trying to follow her idol. I don't even know who her idol is."By the way, did you really fly all the way from Australia after hearing about us?" I asked."I heard of you from Frieda." Hearing her mention Frieda makes me baffled. She also knows her but no one mentioned her to me before. Why? "But when I arrived this morning I saw the news on the airport television. Was it true?"I don't know how to
(Serena's POV)"M-Marcus?" I said with a trembling voice."What the fuck are you doing here?" He exclaimed, exposing his dark aura while darting me his enrage eyes."Su--" Before I finish my word, he grabs my hand harshly. "Let's get out of here.""W-Wait!"He stops. "Since when did you like hanging out in the club in the middle of the day?" Even with the loud music still in the background, I can sense the fierce in his tone. He's so damn mad and I'm scared to look him in the eye. Instead, I pulled him closer to me until I reach his ear. "Suzy...""Suzy? She's here?" I nodded while staring at him, waiting for his reaction. Then slowly his jaw hardened just like earlier when I first landed my eyes on him. "Fuck!" He suddenly muttered. He dragged me to the entrance. "Wait here."I nodded before he walk with a big stride towards the crowd. He will find Suzy in this crowded place. Looking at Marcus back, I feel guilty. Marcus is already having difficulty at his company, and here we are
(Serena's POV)I spread my arms, groping the person next to me in bed but only the soft pillow that touches my palm. As I opened my eyes, I frowned when I didn't see Marcus on the bed. It's only five past six. Then I totally forgot that Marcus is always an early bird. He must be at work.Staring at the chandelier above me, I wonder how would things turn out if I didn't meet Marcus again. My life would be as peaceful as before. It feels like my heart is getting worst whenever Marcus fluttered me or hurt me emotionally. It's pounding crazily like it didn't use to.I really need to see a Doctor to be updated about my condition.As my thoughts were flying everywhere, my stomach whined for food. Damn... It's too early for breakfast.Even so, I get up from the bed and put on my clothes that Marcus threw everywhere in the room last night. He took advantage of me being drunken. However, I also took part in that activity.Striding out from the elevator, I meet Suzy in the living room, wearing
(Serena's POV)My waist is grabbed by Marcus's other hand as he draws me forward with his addictive-scented body. He gave me feathered kisses in my hair and on my shoulders.As I slid my fingertips down his spine and our breaths merged, I drew him in until there was no more room between us. His heart was thumping incredibly quickly and rapidly against my chest. I pull apart and take shaky, shallow breaths. The way he gazed at me set my insides on fire.He grabbed my head in his hands and drew me into a passionate kiss when we were no longer able to hold ourselves. My hands instinctively move around his body, detecting every line and crevice along with his flawless figure. His hands venture over my curved body, exploring. He leaned in and kissed up and down my neck. I whimpered a bit in excitement. He gradually made his way back to my silky, supple lips while caressing my ass until he reached the garter of my underwear.Then, I ended the kiss. "Not here." I raggedly whispered."Why n
(Serena's POV)After that abrupt make-out in the storage room, Marcus departed because he needed to attend a meeting while I am having a bath in our bathroom upstairs. While I'm at a loss for what to do today, Suzy's presence makes it impossible for me to get bored. I don't know why I couldn't answer Marcus' questions earlier.I love him, right?But why am I hesitating to answer him directly? Am I scared?Yes, I'm terrified.I worry about what will occur in the future. I'm worried that something may take place again and ruin our relationship. There are numerous challenges even as we just got going. What if Marcus learns about my condition?Although I'm not sure if surgery can be performed, I am just taking a chance that the Lord won't take me so soon.'Get pregnant'Suzy's voice echoed in my head.I would love to. I would love to have Marcus's child. But it's not that easy. Given our situation, it's not easy.I run my hands through my hair and decided to get off from the bathtub. Wra
(Serena's POV)Suzy rush inside the room, sweating furiously with a ragged breath. I bet she uses all her energy just to arrive here. Seeing her in a situation, I guess she just had a piece of bad news in her whole life."What's the matter?" I uttered as I grabbed the hair dryer and continue what I needed to do that should have been done a few minutes ago."Father wants to talk to me."She walks back and forth in front of me. She must be having a hard time whether to talk to her father or not. Why is she contemplating?Why she didn't want to see her father that much? "Go and see him, Suzy. He's still your father."She exhales deeply before unplugging the hair dryer. "Come with me." My eyes almost bawled out at her direct-to-the-point statement. "Are you insane? Probably your father will kill me if he only sees the strand of my hair.""So do I."Uncle Gregor didn't like my presence from the very beginning. Not one a bit. Seeing him again after my divorce from Marcus is quite uncomfo
(Serena's POV)My world shattered as the pain in my chest escalated like a virus. It's spreading inside that my legs almost wobble in weakness. My hand search for a support in the wall while I can't take my eyes off of them.Lauren is in undies below Marcus's half-naked body.As soon as Marcus look in my direction, his eyes widened, and take a glance at the woman under him, then look at me again with confused eyes. And when he realized what was happening, he abruptly got off the bed and run toward my position.Before he even reach me, I fled the room and uses the stairs with a pain in my chest. I can't use the elevator, he can catch up on me in an instant and I don't want to be with him in one room.I loathe myself for being a fool. I let my heart decide than my mind. It's all true. Using too much heart can cause pain. And now, I'm experiencing it.There is no single tear escaping from my eyes. Although I was hurt, the rage that was growing inside of me was only surface-level. I don't
