ADRIAN’s POV

Four years ago, Damien had stood in a conference room and listened to a recording of a voice coordinating the accident that unalived Serena and my son and had said he recognized the voice. And then changed and said he was mistaken.

And for four years while I buried my wife, struggled with my company and married another woman. Slowly, accepted a version of events that left him entirely outside the frame.

And just last night again, he had sat across from me and handed me Gerald Fitch

    SELENE'S POVI spent two more nights in the hospital, Ava was with me all through, even when I told her I’m okay, she insisted.The morning the doctor discharged me, he still hammered it into my ears to make sure I rest more for the next one week. I promised him I’ll strictly adhere to his instructions, even when I know the truth is far from that.He gave me a handful of mediations with each prescription on it and I signed the discharge papers.Clara came with some new clothes to change to, she announced that the driver, Marcus was already outside the hospital entrance with the car to convey me home. I changed into the clothes Clara brought, a brown fitted trousers and a white blouse, in the ward rest room, my hair packed up in a bun. I stared at my reflection in the oval-shaped mirror attached to the wall. The popularly feared Selene Arden is back.Ava picked up her bag the moment I got out of the rest room, Clara carried the paper bag she had brought clothes in for me and we all

    SELENE'S POVAva moved back beside me on the bed, her hands found mine instantly. She stared into my eyes directly, her gaze locked in mine. “I’m sorry, Serena,” she said silently, almost like a whisper.I smiled, even though I was hurting. “You’ve said that already, and it’s never your fault.”The corridor outside held the muffled sounds of a hospital at night, distant footsteps and a trolley moving somewhere outside the hospital hallway,.“Ethan,” I spoke, breaking the defeating silence that had preceded the room again. Ava’s hand stiffened in mine, her eyes widened, she opened her mouth but her eyes did the talking instead. The tears slid down her face freely.I let go of her hand slowly, my head shaking in denial. When I finally spoke, my voice came out broken.“Tell me my boy is fine. You said he is fine, remember. Tell me Ethan is okay and doing well. Tell me that even though I forgot about him because of medical challenges, he was always waiting for me… for mama.” I reached

    ADRIAN'S POVThe hospital gown shifted slightly when Selene reached for the folder I dropped on the bedside table.Then, I saw something around her collarbone. A mark that looked like a scar but I couldn’t visualize it well before she pulled her gown to quickly cover it up.I looked away and picked up my jacket from the arm of the chair."Miss Arden," I said. "I’m sorry, but I have to go.""Thank you, Mr. Laurent, I sincerely appreciate your kind gesture," she replied.I nodded and walked out of the private ward.***The Laurent family manor was located at the end of a private road at the elite area of the city. A deliberate insularity, maintained across generations by top class men and women who understood that proximity to wealth was not the same as belonging to it and that itself was a statement.I had grown up inside that statement without questioning it.Tonight, turning through the gate felt like I was driving into a courtroom. It felt so different.Celeste was in the anti-room

  • REBORN TO BE A BILLIONAIRE   CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO

    ADRIAN’S POV The room fell gravely silent. I looked between Selene and Ava. At the specific quality of the exchange, the words that weren't being said inside the words that were, the brought-up of a conversation that was happening on two levels simultaneously.Ava had not moved from her position on the bed beside Selene. She was watching Leonard with the focused and patient attention of someone who had already formed a conclusion and was watching for the evidence to confirm or complicate it.Leonard pulled the chair toward the bed closer to Selene. He took her hands gently like an affectionate father."The doctor said you need rest," he said to Selene. "Whatever you want to ask me can come after that, remember your health comes first,” he touched her face sweetly. “And I don’t joke with my precious daughter.”"Can it?" Selene asked without cutting her gaze of Leonard either.Leonard looked at her for a brief moment.Then his gaze shifted to me, then at Ava, before his eyes moved bac

    ADRIAN'S POV“The previous injury was the complicating factor.” The doctor had said. I was a bit confused but I didn’t pursue further, I only waited for the doctor to continue.“Based on the imaging evidence the scan had produced,” the doctor continued. “The original TBI was sustained few years back, it had healed but not completely. There were regions of the brain that remained sensitive to pressure events and the collapse had been caused by a combination of acute emotional and physiological stress triggering a pressure response. But she was fortunate, if she had hit the pavement at a different angle, it would have been more disastrous.”"Will she be okay?" I had asked the doctor again with a fear that shouldn’t have been my concern.“Yes, she will. She just has to take her medications abd rest well for a few days, if she does that, she will recuperate better.”“I understand,” I had replied.But what I understood, sitting in that office with the scan images on the screen, was that Se

    AVA'S POVI had imagined this moment so many times in the last four years that I had eventually stopped imagining it. Not because I had given up but because the versions I constructed in my head kept coming like it belonged to a different kind of story but the question that emerged from all of these still lingers in mind.*What if Serena was alive?*This was the exact question that had always motivated and kept me going. Even when it looks like I’m always at dead ends.And now I couldn’t keep my eyes off this woman named Selene. In the first place, she had said a word that relates to Serena the first time I saw her at the art gallery. Then, she suddenly became interested in Serena’s case, bagging her decision with a reason I didn’t fully believe.A thought suddenly formed in my head. *What if this woman is actually my friend? What if she is Serena and had only been pretending?” I shook out the thought. No, it can’t be. If Serena is not dead, if she’s truly alive and back into thid a
