SERENA’S POVIf someone ever told me that there would be a day I would regret my life’s choices… a day I would stand and want to take it all back. To start all over… I wouldn’t have believed it.Hell, I would have laughed in their face! Mocked them until tears slipped out of my eyes. Cause my life sure looked promising back then. So fucking promising, with no trace of any sort of embarrassment anywhere!At least not the kind I’ve had to endure today. Downstairs, in my own home.Honestly, if today had a face, I’d punch it! Kick it, and made sure it felt all the humiliation it was granting to me today. The damn thing was making me rethink all my life’s choices! Breakfast been the worst of them all.I mean, if I had just had breakfast back here at home. If I hadn’t gone out for some ‘fresh air’ and to figure out my life in that restaurant, then I wouldn’t have met Axel! I wouldn’t have even crossed paths with him at all. Be it at the mall or when driving back home.He wouldn’t have follo
ELIOT’S POVIt was one thing to just come back to the country after so long, but it was another to do so and then show up at my house. Laughing and sitting… awfully close to my wife as well!What is that?!“Good evening, Mr. Beckett!” a maid greeted, successfully pulling my gaze away from them. And at the same time turning everyone’s attention to the space between the dining area and living room. To me.“Good evening, Sir!” the other maids around greeted as well, bowing a bit. I just gave a nod of recognition, my features blank as my eyes fell on Serena and Axel again. Noting they had risen to their feet too.All smiles and laughter gone now. From Serena most especially as she stood still like my presence alone had completely soiled her entire mood. Ruined her day and the good time she was having. Just the thought was enough to have my jaw clenching as I instantly looked away from her. Focusing on the human standing just beside her. A little too closely still.And before I could utter
ELIOT’S POVMy eyes dimmed, a scowl so tight engulfing my features the more I stared at my laptop screen. Taking in the words of the post. Reading each line. Over and over again, as nothing but pure annoyance surged inside of me. Overtaking every other feeling I had going on before this particular moment. “Not all affairs come with lipstick on collars or shopping receipts.” I read out slowly, “She’s carrying his baby, I’m carrying his name. One of us gets morning kisses. The other gets… gets ignored in her own kitchen!”What?Just what is this? What does the blogger even mean by any of this?!What carrying baby, and carrying name? Wh-This post was most definitely made by a woman! It was definitely a woman behind this blog. You can just tell. I mean, look how the entire post was painted. The wife looked good, and the husband all bad! Who does that? “Just coming out here to paint scenarios that aren’t even true!” I spat, my jaw clenched in irritation before I could stop myself. “As
ELIOT’S POV What the- “What is this?” i asked, my eyebrows furrowed as I stared at the continuously buzzing phone in my hands. Several notifications popping onto the screen, rapidly and all from one source too. The bank. “Why am I getting so much debit alerts and notifications from the bank?” “The bank? I don’t think there’s an issue with our accounts, Sir. The finance department would have alerted us.” “This is my personal account, John” I snapped, “Why will I receive debit alerts and notifications from the company accounts?” “Oh,” was his only response as he zipped his mouth shut to not annoy me any further. I didn’t even have the time for him cause more alerts came firing through. “$354,870 for CHANEL- Galleria Luxe?” I instantly read out, my eyebrows tight as I actually began to note what exactly I was being charged for. $652,510 for LUXURY APPAREL-Galleria Luxe?” $435,295 for BVLGARI JEWELS, Luxe Mall? “$1.9m for LUXE PENTHOUSE, Galleria Luxe?!” my voice rose an
SERENA'S POV The mere thought alone was enough to crush me from within. My sight blurring as both anger and severe identity crisis burned from within me. I had initially thought… I had thought my life would be easier after marrying Eliot. I had thought I would be happy and content… that I would be safe and finally be free. He was the only reason I held on, gave my all… Eliot was the only good thing at the end of the dark tunnel called the family I was born into! So, I gave it my all. Gave my very best to him and our marriage! But now… now everything was falling apart… “What was even the point in trying so hard?” I whispered to myself, What was the essence of my living and doing anything at all?! I shouldn’t have… I shouldn’t have to watch these people use me like I was some doll they bought with their money! I don’t even have to put with them. At all! "I will confirm with the doctor when you will be getting your checkup but take the stuff I got you and even this weekly exercise
SERENA’S POV “Where did you come out from?” “It’s been barely 30 minutes since you called, and you’re already here.” “Yeah mom, I was… around the area.” I responded, pausing to catch my breath for a bit. Not wanting to go into details of my very terrible driving on my way here. All because I didn't want her to leave. But it worked! So, no harm done. "What did you say you got for me?" I asked, changing the topic and scanning just how many shopping bags she had around her. "This... Is a lot! Why did you get so much stuff? You already have lots of clothes you don't even wear!" "Excuse me?" She scoffed, dramatically uncrossing her legs and putting her glass of champagne down too. "This is nothing compared to what that unbearable woman at the mansion purchased today! She could've packed the entire shopping mall just to spite me. So, how can I let her? Just because she’s your father’s wife doesn’t mean i can’t be better than her! Whether or not I need It, I will get it! She can buy thi
