After leaving Serena Hart, I married the daughter of a billionaire. Just now, my wife told me she wanted to transfer every asset in her name to me. I tried to refuse, but she meant it too sincerely for me to keep refusing. She said that without me, she never could have held such a vast family empire together. She wanted me to be able to hold my head up, so she even arranged for the asset transfer to be handled in Ashford, the city where I was born. With no other choice, I walked into the largest law firm in Ashford. I had just started to give the name on my appointment when a familiar mocking voice sounded behind me. "Well, if it isn't Adrian Cole, the guy who used to chase our campus queen Serena Hart around like his life depended on it."

Never Again Beneath the Same Moon Chapter 19
Our wedding was magnificent.Evelyn seemed determined to laid the very best Ashford had to offer at my feet.Roses ran the length of the aisle.The crystal lights overhead were as bright as a sky full of stars.I stood there in a white suit and watched her come toward me, one step at a time, in a gown that didn't seem real.And I thought about many years ago.About the man who'd left this city alone, who had struggled simply to survive.Back then I thought the entire world had thrown me away.It never once occurred to me that someday somebody would love me like this.When it came time for the vows, even Evelyn, who was rarely nervous, seemed tense.She held on to my hands and started quietly."At the beginning, all I wanted was a suitable husband."The guests laughed."Handsome."Smart."Someone who knew where the lines were."And ideally someone my father would like."I laughed too.Evelyn didn't look away from me once.Her gaze was overflowing with tenderness."La

That was the moment Evelyn finally lost her temper.She rose and slapped Serena hard across the face.Serena hadn't seen it coming. She staggered back, and blood appeared at the corner of her mouth.Evelyn wasn't finished. She stepped in and took hold of her collar."Is there any end to this with you?"Whether he says yes to me or not, he is my husband."You're the one who hurt him."What makes you think you have the right to stand here at all?"Serena's face was swelling already, and she was still looking at me.I caught Evelyn's arm."Enough."Evelyn turned her head, the anger still in her eyes."Adrian, she..."I shook my head slightly."Don't let someone irrelevant ruin our romantic moment."The last of the color left Serena's face.I had already reached over and taken the ring out of Evelyn's palm, and I slid it onto her ring finger myself.I looked down at the diamond glittering brilliantly, pressed a kiss to the back of her hand, and smiled."Silly girl."The

I looked into Serena's eyes for several seconds before I understood that she meant it.I immediately shot back."Serena, you want to be my mistress and I'm telling you I wouldn't want you. In what way could you ever compare to my wife?"Even after that, she wouldn't let go."What is it you like about her? I can learn it."That stopped me.The Serena I used to know was proud.Cold.Above all of this.And now she was saying things like that.Too late.I looked at her and said it plainly."Everything about her is good, because she's Evelyn Pierce."You will never come close to her."The last of the light went out of Serena's eyes.I had no patience left at all."Get out. If you're not gone I'm calling someone."Instead she locked her arms around my waist, with a strength that startled me."Adrian..."Her voice shook."You weren't like this before."You used to love me. You know you did."For a moment, my head swam.She was right.The Adrian Cole of those years real

Serena glanced at me before she could stop herself.There was something close to panic in her face.Then she crossed the floor quickly and started explaining."Adrian, don't misunderstand."This is my cousin, Toby."He's getting married soon. I only came along to help him pick out a suit."I stared at her for a second.I had no idea why she thought she owed me that.Then I couldn't help laughing."Serena, how many cousins you have is nothing to do with me."Her face went a shade paler.I'd already lost interest in looking at her."Would you leave? I need to start trying these on."Bethany looked uncomfortable."Ms. Hart, perhaps you could..."Serena might as well not have heard her.Her eyes had gone to the suits hanging beside me.Her face grew paler by the second.When she got to the black tailcoat, tears came into her eyes.I looked at it and remembered too.The suit we'd picked out when we were getting married had looked very much like that one.I pointed at it
