ALEXANDRA’S APARTMENT ~ NIGHTThe front door clicked shut behind Alexandra.She dropped her briefcase by the door and slipped off her heels with a tired sigh. Her feet hurt, her head was pounding, and after everything that had happened at the office, all she wanted was a hot shower and a long night’s sleep.She walked into the living room and stopped.Serena was curled up on the couch with a blanket wrapped around her. A bottle of wine sat on the coffee table, already half empty. She held a wine glass in one hand and stared blankly at the TV, even though it wasn’t turned on.Alexandra looked at the bottle, then at Serena. “Don’t tell me you’re still crying over Mr. Italian Billionaire.”Serena slowly looked up. “I’m not crying over him.”Alexandra folded her arms. “Oh?”“I’m processing.”Alexandra snorted. “You’ve been ‘processing’ for the last three hours.”She walked over, picked up the bottle, and frowned at the label.“Do you have any idea how expensive this Cabernet was?”Ser

She looked almost pleased.“I just wanted to say that I think you handled yourself well in there.”Juliana blinked, surprised by the compliment.“Excuse me?”“The situation with James Peters. The accusation against Alexandra. You asked the right questions.”Juliana stared at her, unsure if she heard correctly.“You’re agreeing with me?”Margaret gave a small shrug. “Don’t look so shocked.

She’s back, and she’ll be spending even more time with my son.”Juliana’s expression im

THE BOARDROOM HALLWAY ~ NEW YORK CITY THE NEXT MORNING “Well,” Juliana said with a sweet smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Look who’s back.”Her gaze swept over Alexandra from head to toe.“Fully reinstated. Back to being Ethan’s right hand.”She gave a slow, sarcastic clap. “Congratulations. You finally got exactly what you wanted.”Alexandra met her gaze without blinking. “That’s right.”Juliana let out a soft laugh. “I’m sure this calls for a celebration.” She folded her arms. “You got your office back, your position back… and, most importantly, Ethan back by your side.”Alexandra’s expression remained calm. “I’m relieved the truth came out. I never deserved to be blamed for something I didn’t do.”“Oh, naturally,” Juliana replied with a fake look of sympathy.“You’ve always been the innocent one, haven’t you?”She smiled sweetly. “The woman who somehow walks away with clean hands while everyone else gets dirty.”Her eyes locked onto Alexandra’s. “You’re amazing at that.”Alexa

ALEXANDRA'S APARTMENT ~ BROOKLYNAlexandra leaned closer, her eyes fixed on Serena."You're not making the same mistakes."Serena looked up, confused. "Yes, I am.""No." Alexandra shook her head firmly. "The old Serena would have stayed. She would have listened to his excuses. She would have convinced herself there was a reason for everything."She pointed toward the door. "But this Serena walked away."Serena stayed quiet, her fingers twisting the edge of her sleeve."You didn't beg him for answers," Alexandra continued. "You didn't cry in front of him and ask why he chose her. You didn't give him a chance to twist the story and make you feel guilty."She reached for Serena's hand. "You saw the truth, and you left."She smiled slightly. "Serena walked out. Serena got into an Uber. Serena came here."She shrugged. "That's not the same mistake.

ALEXANDRA'S APARTMENT ~ BROOKLYN ~ 11:47 PMThe Uber stopped in front of the familiar brownstone apartment building.Serena stepped out slowly, her heels making uneven sounds against the cracked sidewalk. She looked nothing like the confident woman who had left for dinner hours ago.Her mascara had already run down her cheeks, leaving dark streaks on her face. She had been crying the entire ride home, but she couldn’t seem to stop.Her hands were still shaking as she climbed the steps to Alexandra’s apartment. The moment she reached the door, she raised her fist and knocked hard.“Alex! Open the door!”A few seconds later, the door flew open.Alexandra stood there wearing an old college sweatshirt and mismatched pajama pants. Her curly hair was piled into a messy bun, and a green face mask covered half of her face. She held a pint of ice cream in one hand and a spoon in the other.She looked at Serena from head to toe and immediately sighed.“Let me guess,” she said. “The Italian g
