Serena's Pov

“What the heck just happened?”

He ignored my greetings and left the elevator like I was some trash he needed to avoid. Oh my goodness.

I felt so embarrassed and wished I could just bury myself under the elevator floor. I was brought back to reality by the elevator's ding and the door opened. So, I walked out, and headed straight to my office.

“Son of a bitch.” I uttered under my breath with resentment.

I got to my door, clicked it open with my key and walked into my office. Even when I was a boss, I never for once acted badly to my employees unnecessarily. Although, every bad day I had concerning working under Adrien Volkov, I always resented Killian for it, but now, I resent Adrien himself.

I wish I never had anything to do with him. I wish I wasn't so gullible to think that I could have someone love me truly, again. If only I could turn back the hands of time, how happy would I be?

I sat down on my chair, and laid my head on the table for some time before I heard a knoc

  • Shattered Vows: Silent Revenge.   Chapter Eighty Nine

    Serena's Pov The night was heavy with silence when I reached the old shipyard. My footsteps echoed against the cracked pavement, each sound bouncing back like a warning. The air smelled of rust, salt, and something stale, like secrets that had been buried here for too long.I kept Adrien’s cufflink in my hand, my thumb brushing over the tiny engraving as if it could give me strength. The coordinates had led me here, and every part of me screamed it was dangerous. But if Adrien had been here, then so would I.The shipyard stretched wide, filled with rusted cranes and rows of warehouses with broken windows. Shadows moved with the flicker of the dim dock lamps. My heart pounded as I slipped deeper into the maze of metal and steel.“Adrien?” I whispered into the dark, my voice shaking.But I got no answer. It was only the sound of waves crashing softly against the dock that I heard.I forced my legs to keep moving, checking every corner, every doorway. Then I froze. In the middle of a du

  • Shattered Vows: Silent Revenge.   Chapter Eighty Eight

    Serena's POVI didn’t sleep much that night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the scarred man’s face, his words about Adrien being alive, echoing in my head.Those words were both torture and hope. They kept me awake until the early hours, sitting on the bed with Adrien’s cufflink still clutched in my hand. I turned it over and over between my fingers, as if it could somehow guide me to him.The cufflink wasn’t just a piece of jewelry. Adrien was careful about details, he never wore anything ordinary. I lifted it towards the light and noticed something faint inside, so small I almost missed it.My breath hitched. It looked like tiny numbers engraved along the inner edge. I squinted, reading them out slowly.“41.3520, 2.1545.”Coordinates.My heart raced, and my eyes widened as I realized that Adrien had left me a clue.I grabbed my bag and slipped out of the hotel room, careful to check the hallway before stepping out. The memory of being chased last night still haunted me, and I co

    Serena’s POV“Well, well,” he said, his voice low and rough. “Didn’t I tell you to stop searching?”My heart pounded so loud it drowned out the sound of waves slapping against the docks. I took a step back, my hand trembling, but I tried to mask my fear. “Where is he? Where’s Adrien?” I demanded of him, knowing the only thing I wanted was to see Adrien and know that he wasn't okay.The man smirked, shaking his head as if amused by my desperation. You really don’t listen, do you? He’s alive. But he’s in a place you’ll never reach.The words stabbed me in the chest. That single word, alive, gave me a flicker of hope, but it was quickly crushed by his tone.“Tell me where!” I demanded, forcing my voice to stay strong.He walked closer, boots scraping against the gravel. “Why would I?" You’re not supposed to be a part of this. Walk away, and maybe you’ll live long enough to forget.“I’ll never forget,” I uttered, gripping the cufflink tighter. “I’ll never stop looking for him.”For the

    Serena's Pov I couldn’t get the note out of my head. The words kept replaying in my mind like a curse, and it was so annoying that I couldn't stop thinking about it.At first, fear gripped me so hard that I couldn’t move. My hands trembled, and my chest felt tight, like something was pressing down on me. But after sitting alone for hours, staring at that piece of paper, something changed inside me.If someone was threatening me, then it meant Adrien was really in danger. Whoever wrote that note wanted me to stay quiet, to stop asking questions. And I knew one thing about myself, which was the fact that I couldn’t do that. Not when Adrien could be out there, scared, hurt, or worse.I folded the note and tucked it into my bag. “I’m not backing down,” I whispered to myself, even though my voice shook.The woman I had met earlier had mentioned the docks. That was the only lead I had, and it felt reckless to go there at night, but what choice did I have? If Adrien had been seen there, the

  • Shattered Vows: Silent Revenge.   Chapter Eighty Five

    Serena’s POVThe streets looked different when I stepped out this morning. People still bustled about, buying bread, drinking coffee, laughing in groups, but to me, the whole city felt heavier, darker, as if something invisible pressed down on me.I clutched Adrien’s watch inside my bag like it was a lifeline. “I’ll find you.” I whispered under my breath.My first stop was the café on the corner. Adrien and I had walked past it more than once, and I thought maybe, just maybe, someone might have seen him.The bell over the door chimed as I entered. The smell of roasted coffee beans filled the air. A young waiter wiped down a table and smiled politely at me.“Buenos días, señora. Table for one?”I shook my head quickly. “Actually, I’m looking for someone." My fiancé. He’s tall, dark hair, and usually wears black. "Did you see him here this morning?”The waiter thought for a moment, tapping the rag against his hand. “No, I don’t think so". At least not today. Maybe yesterday?”“Yesterday

  • Shattered Vows: Silent Revenge.   Chapter Eighty Four

    Serena’s POVThe night was long and restless. I tossed and turned, staring at the ceiling, waiting for the door to open or for Adrien’s voice to break the silence, but neither came. By the time the first rays of morning light slipped through the curtains, I felt like I hadn’t slept at all. My body was heavy, but my mind was wide awake, filled with worry.I pushed the blanket aside and sat up, my throat feeling tight.“He’ll be back,” I said to myself. Even my words sounded weak in the empty room.Trying to shake off the uneasy feeling, I stood and began to move around. That was when my eyes fell on the small table near the chair. It was Adrien’s watch on it, the one he never left behind, and besides it was his wallet, neat and untouched.I froze, staring at them as if they might disappear. Adrien didn’t go anywhere without those things. He was too careful, too disciplined. If his watch and wallet were still here, then where exactly could he be?My heart began to beat fast as I picked
