Serena's Pov

I was shocked!

Did he just switch his tone with me? Why is he acting this way all of a sudden?

“I… I don't understand. "Why the sudden change?” I asked him, completely baffled.

“Serena, I think there's a reason we came together. It's for work, isn't it? It's to make you have a big comeback, right? Good. "So, let's concentrate on that,” he uttered, and looked back at his phone.

It was all so surprising for him to change. Or did I perhaps do something that got him annoyed, and he didn't know how to express it?

Hmm. Well, I don't need to feel so worked up about this. As long as he's still willing to help me, I should try to ignore this. But at the same time, it hurts that just when I thought we both had something for each other, he started acting this way.

Throughout our time in the car, we didn't speak to each other and even on the plane either, until we got to our city.

“I’ll be expecting you at the company tomorrow. You have a meeting with Mr. Johnson, a CEO dealing in fa

    Serena's PovI couldn't shake off the shock and sudden fear that overwhelmed me. It was also difficult to convince myself to stay calm.“What's up?” Adrien asked, looking concerned as he settled beside me.Was this the best time to finally speak out? This blackmailer had already crossed his boundaries. I wouldn't be able to bear it if Bella died because of me. I won't just be able to live with that.“Serena?” He called my name again and my eyelids fluttered. What's going on? You suddenly look like something is bothering you. Is it me?” Adrien looked so worried about me, and it was sort of relieving because it only showed how much he loved me, and maybe he would be able to do his best to help me out in this trouble I found myself in.I handed my phone to him and watched him scroll up. It was only the recent messages that were there, because the one I had in Paris had somehow disappeared.“What's going on?” he asked again, sounding clueless.And yes, he truly was.“Ever since we were i

    Serena's PovMy hands began to shake, and it caused my phone to fall from my hands. “Is anything wrong?” An employee who was walking in the direction I was leaving asked me as she bent to pick up my phone.“N…no. "I'm okay,” I said to her, and received my phone from her, then hurried to my office.Getting to my office, I sat on my chair and placed the phone before me on the table. I kept staring at the text, wishing I was seeing wrong. But that was only a wish in my heart.“What do I do?” I asked myself, feeling restless.If I told Adrien about it, this person would do something worse to me. Besides, I forgot that whatever chip this guy person installed inside my body is still inside. Only my thoughts are the things this person can't hear or have access to.A text popped up again, and my hand went over my mouth.“See me tonight by 9pm.” That scared the hell out of me. It felt as if there was a sudden activity in my stomach, causing a hole there.Goodness. Why does this have to be me

    Serena's Pov“Hey, sorry I made you wait,” Bella said as she joined me.My eyelids fluttered, bringing me back to my reality. But then, it was unsettling to find out that Killian was being nonchalant in his responsibility to take care of Theo.“Serena?” Bella called my name again.“Oh! "I'm sorry, I guess I was just lost in my thoughts.” I apologized, trying not to get her worried or asking questions I didn't want to answer.“Aww… I don't need to ask before I guess who you were thinking about. It's obviously Adrien. Oh, my. "It's so cute.” She spoke, and patted me gently on my back before urging us to keep moving.I chuckled and shook my head. At least, thankfully, she thought I was fantasizing about Adrien, which I wasn't. It was worrisome, knowing such a kind of thing had happened to Theodore, but thinking about things with Killian again, I knew I had to wake up.It was a good thing they found Theodore, but I won't make such news make me act so weak before Killian. Killian must pay

    Killian's PovI got back from work and the first person I asked from the maids was my son, Theodore.“He's upstairs, in his room, sir.” One of the maids informed me.“And my wife?” “She went out to get something.”“Something? "Why was she the one who went out to get what she wanted?” She said she wanted to get some fresh air as well. "She also went with Grace, one of us.” The maid responded humbly.I wasn't comfortable with that even though I understood that Samantha could be bored sometimes. I had already told her countless times that she could join me in my company, but never did she agree to it.“Alright.”I headed to my son's room instead as I also had something to show him; something which would be the beginning of my peace in this house. When I got to the entrance of his room, I felt tense because I wasn't so sure what it could do to him, but I still had to give it a try.I knocked on his door and pushed it open gently, then I walked in. He was on his bed with his drawing book

    Adrien's PovI was in my office, trying to deal with the stack of papers before me, but each time I had gotten to a stage of concentration, thoughts of Serena often came to my mind.She must have felt so bad when she saw Annabel and me together in the office just when I had asked Ethan to call her attention. Annabel just always had to come at such moments.“I need to stop letting her into my office before she ruins what could be good for me,” I uttered in a low tone.Annabel was just some gold digger that would never accept she was one. She was once someone I loved, but ever since the day I caught her cheating on me for the 5th time, I knew I was just living in a fantasy when I thought she could be the one I could marry.Ever since I left her, it has been difficult to give my heart out to anyone, and I had to constantly give people the cold shoulders because I never want to get hurt or seen as weak. But ever since Serena came into the picture, she seemed to be changing the narrative.

    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
