SERENA’S POV

“M-married?” I stammered, stunned. “You were married? To Who? Who were you marri- when??”

He heaved a breath, hands on the wheels as we passed a traffic light. “Her name is Belinda, and we… we kind of got involved a while back. Before your wedding. She’s a reporter.”

“A reporter." I blinked, "I thought you hated reporters, but you married one? YOU are married, Axel?”

“Was." He corrected, "Was married, until about half an hour ago.”

“Oh my God.” I whispered, dressing back on my seat. “Oh my God. Wh- and you didn't tell me? You got married and didn’t tell me, Axel."

I couldn't believe it. "All these while you... Wait you got together before my wedding?" I faced him again, "That is before you even ghosted me right? for 4 years. You got married before then and yet you didn't think to tell me? Me? Why?!"

“I didn’t want to bother you."

“Bother me?" I blew hot, stunned. "You didn't want to bother me, your friend. How? I was your friend, Axel. I am still, right now, and- wait, d

    Axel's POV Something's on her mind.Something definitely is."You're sure his team hasn't been secretly threatening her or something?" I asked, waiting for his response cause I wouldn't put it past Eliot at all. "Mr. Gomez?""No, no. They haven't, Mr Lane." He said, focusing back on the screen. His glasses getting adjusted. "I'm sure they haven't. Very sure. In fact, no contact any been made concerning the mediation dates. The court ruled for a mediation within the 3 months of probation but so far, his team hasn't reached out in any way. They haven't shown interest. So I'm sure Miss Serena and Mr. Beckett hasn't been in contact at all."They haven't.Hmm.She said so as well. Snapped at me actually when I brought the topic up.Mr Gomez also sounded convincing right now. His words...they were reasonable enough but still. Something didn't feel right. Something wasn't right, she was troubled by something. I know it.I don't understand why she wouldn't tell me about it. Why she would try

    SERENA'S POV "What? No way," I shook my head, flabbergasted. "No way. That's... that's impossible. Why will he— why will he do that?"Eliot.My eyes went to the screen again, my breath caught. Pulse heavy now, hands quick to scroll down to read more of the post. It was his most recent one. Had tons of comments accumulating, several of them adding up as I watched the screen but my eyes remained focused on the lines. The words in between..."I'd have to explain how I know that, and I didn't want to. I didn't want to explain why I knew,Or admit how closely I had been paying attention long before I was supposed to be.So I didn’t send it.And convinced myself silence was safer.That’s the pattern, isn’t it?Me choosing silence.Control.Calling it strength.When in reality, it was all fear.Fear of how easily you dismantle me.How much power you have over me without even trying.How small I feel that I want you...I want you."I shuttered, the words sinking in. Raw. "I thought I coul

    SERENA'S POV Soon it became dark outside, the cool breeze getting chill. Forcing me back into the house, my room, managing a light dinner while at it cause really, I couldn't starve all day. Even if I had no appetite.Afterwards there was nothing left to do. Besides the obvious that is.Reach for my laptop. The same sleek device I'd been avoiding to begin with. At the end, there was no use running. It had to happen at some point. I had to see them again.Those words, sentences, posts... his posts. And as I did— turned on my laptop, notifications rushed in like rain. Every comment, tags, reposts, filled the air. Welcoming me right back to the disaster I had ran away from.Last time, I was almost knocked off by the sheer intensity of everything. The speculations, reasoning of the commenters and now? I didn't feel any better.My pulse raced with anticipation underneath my skin. My lips pressed in a firm line, quiet. Fingers itching and twitching as I remained seated on my bed. My sof

    SERENA'S POV "Please do come again next time, Sir." The maître d’ said with a polite smile to Axel, handing over the freebies he received. Cause apparently, he'd made today's reservation about 2 months ago. Meaning he'd planned this for a long time. That should make me excited or feel good at least, right? But it didn't. How could it? When a certain somebody had abandoned the reason for him being present in this restaurant, instead, focusing all his attention on us. Me and Axel. Practically burning holes into the side of my face from how hard he was glaring. He didn't even bother to hide it. Didn't move from his spot either. Wonder how long he'd been there before I spotted him. But he did look good though. Really good with his hands tucked into his pockets, a phone in hand as he stood in the glass valet call stand, like he owned the entire place. His stare burned hot against my skin, impossible to ignore and making all the more uncomfortable as I stood still. My fingers

    SERENA'S POV "I could be. You don't know that.""Oh hell I do." I smirked, "I most definitely do. No mistakes about that Blondie."His breath hitched, offended but amused. "Blondie? Why do you keep calling me? Where did that come from?""I've always called you that. You're just noticing?""I am,""Then you better go purchase that ear cleaning device your assistant recommended to you."He laughed, hard. Not expecting my words, his head tilting back, blue eyes twinkling."You're teasing me now? You're joining them to 'drag' my ears?"I shrugged, trying not to laugh but failing. "You're the one who complained about not hearing properly. This now proofs it, so... Yeah.""What?" He leaned forward, hands reaching for me. Wanting to pinch at my skin like he usually did, but I only leaned backwards. Escaping him, our laughter filling the air. "You're
