Alex's pov
"Did you miss me?" I asked looking deep into her eyes.
She stared at me. "That is your important question?"
"An extremely important one."
She rolled her eyes. "Alex, we spoke last night."
"And?"
"And we are speaking now."
"That was not what I asked."
She tried to pull her hand away, but I held it gently, giving her plenty of room to withdraw if she truly wanted to. Her expre

Chapter 127Adrian's POVFor several seconds, I remained perfectly still.Then I shook my head.No.That was ridiculous. Serena couldn't have found out about my affairs. She couldn't have.I had been careful. I had never brought another woman into our home, except Vanessa who was her cousin, she couldn’t suspect her own cousin, and I had always made sure that anything capable of exposing me was handled discreetly. I had built my entire life around maintaining the image of a respectable husband, and I had no intention of allowing a careless mistake to destroy it.Of course, I had made mistakes before.There had been close calls, suspicious messages, unexpected calls, and occasions when I had returned home later than planned. But I had always found a way to explain myself.And Serena had always believed me.Or, at least, she had never given me a reason to think otherwise.My thoughts shifted to Vanessa.Her name alone was enough to make my jaw tighten.Vanessa was not the first woman I

Chapter 126ADRIAN’S POVI had always believed that no matter what happened between Serena and me, she would never truly leave me.She might cry. She might become upset. She might give me the silent treatment for a few hours, perhaps even a day or two if I did something particularly stupid. She might look at me with those beautiful brown eyes of hers, her lips trembling as she asked why I had hurt her, and I would pull her into my arms, kiss her forehead, promise to do better, and watch the storm in her eyes gradually disappear.That was how things had always worked between us.Serena loved me too much to stay angry for long. At least, that was what I had believed.But the woman I had faced earlier was nothing like the Serena I had married.The Serena I knew would never have looked me directly in the eyes and spoken about ending our marriage as though she were discussing the cancellation of an unwanted appointment. She would never have spoken with such chilling composure about living

"Alex, we spoke last night.""And?""And we are speaking now.""That was not what I asked."She tried to pull her hand away, but I held it gently, giving her plenty of room to withdraw if she truly wanted to. Her expression was caught between amusement and embarrassment, and I was beginning to suspect that teasing her might become one of my favourite habits."You are so full of yourself," she muttered."Only when I am in the presence of someone this beautiful.""Do you practise these lines in front of a mirror?""Would you believe me if I said no?""Absolutely not."I laughed, then leaned slightly closer, keeping my voice low enough that the question became something

Chapter 124Alex's povEventually, she returned to her meal, while I settled into my chair and watched the light reflect against the glass walls. The music continued softly around us, and the gentle sound of the water feature outside created a peaceful background that made the entire room feel removed from reality. I could have remained there for hours, listening to Serena talk about the things she liked, the places she wanted to visit, and the plans she hoped to pursue now that she had decided to reclaim her independence.She spoke with increasing enthusiasm as the morning progressed, describing ideas she had once set aside and interests she wanted to explore again. I listened carefully, asking questions whenever I wanted to know more, and I found myself admiring her even more with every answer. There was so much to her that I suspected Adrian had never taken the time to understand. Serena was not simply a beautiful woman

Chapter 123Alex's povI leaned towards her. "What is that?""My favourite thing is not a particular meal."I waited, watching her face.She picked up her glass, took a small sip, and then continued. "It is effort. I like it when someone puts thought into something for me. It does not have to be expensive, and it does not have to be perfect. I just want to know that the person cared enough to try, that they paid attention, that they wanted to make me happy instead of simply doing whatever was easiest. I think that matters more to me than anything else."Her words struck me with unexpected force. I thought of all the times I had tried to show Vanessa that I loved her through gifts, acts of service, and quiet gestures that I had assumed would eventually mean something to her. I had cooked for her, supported her ambitions, and tried to give her a comfortable life without constantly reminding her of what I could

Chapter 122Alex's pov"You did all this because you did not know my favourite food?""Exactly.""Alex, you could have just asked me.""And ruin the surprise?"She gave me a helpless laugh. "You could have prepared two or three dishes. Nobody expects you to cook everything in the world just because you do not know what I like.""I never said I was sensible.""That much is becoming very clear."I moved towards the chair at the head of the table and pulled it out for her. "Please, beautiful. Take your seat before you decide I have lost my mind completely."She laughed again, then accepted my hand and sat down. I pushed her chair in gently, making sure she was comfortable before taking the seat beside her rather than sitting at the opposite end of the long table. I wanted to be close enough to speak to her without raising my voice, close enough to see her expressions and enjoy the li
