Chapter 14

I lowered my eyes to the cup, “I never thought I would become this kind of woman.”

Alex's expression changed. He placed his cup on the bedside table.

“Serena.”

I looked at him.

“You aren't vile.” He said.

I remained silent, “You're hurt,” he continued. “There's a difference.”

“But I am doing something wrong.”

“No, you're responding to what they did to you.” He said.

“That doesn't make it right.” I continued.

“No,” Alex admitted. “But it doesn't make you a bad person either.”

  • TIT FOR TAT   Chapter 155

    Chapter 155SERENA'S POVI had never thought much about that before. I had always told myself that Adrian was simply a busy man. He had responsibilities, businesses to manage, meetings to attend, and people depending on him. I had convinced myself that love was sometimes about understanding when your partner could not be physically present. I had accepted expensive gifts as reminders that he cared, even when what I truly wanted was his time.Yet, here I was, sitting beside Alex, a man who had no obligation to make me feel comfortable, and he was doing all the things I had quietly wished Adrian would do.The convoy eventually turned away from the busy roads and moved towards a quieter part of the property. I noticed the change almost immediately. The noise of traffic disappeared, the buildings became fewer, and the surroundings grew more peaceful. Tall trees stood on either side of the road, their branches stretching towards one another as though they were forming a natural canopy abov

    Chapter 154SERENA’S POVThe moment Alex’s convoy pulled up beside me, I knew that whatever happened next would be nothing like the life I had been living before that day. I had seen expensive cars, grand entrances, and men who enjoyed making people turn their heads whenever they arrived somewhere, but there was something different about the way Alex moved. He didn’t need to announce himself. He didn’t need to shout or wave his hands to attract attention. His presence alone seemed to command the space around him.Even the men who stepped out of the vehicles behind him carried themselves with a kind of quiet discipline that made it clear they were not ordinary security personnel. Yet, despite all that power and authority surrounding him, the first thing Alex did when he reached me was look directly into my eyes and ask if I was alright.Not whether I had seen anyone following me. Not whether I had caused trouble. Not whether I was ready to leave. He wanted to know if I was alright.It

    Chapter 153Vanessa's povNot because I wanted to return to him, not because I wanted to resume our affair, but because I needed to know whether he had seen the same thing I had.If the sender had contacted him, he might already know that someone was trying to interfere in our lives.Perhaps he had answers.Perhaps he had questions of his own.Either way, I could not sit here pretending that the photographs did not matter.I pushed the blanket aside and carefully moved my legs over the edge of the bed.Pain shot through my injured leg, and I sucked in a sharp breath."Careful," I whispered to myself.I placed both feet on the floor and sat still for a moment, waiting for the discomfort to ease. My body was still recovering, and every movement reminded me of how much strength I had lost during the days I had spent resting. I had not yet regained my balance completely, and the thoug

    Chapter 152Vanessa's povBut now I wanted someone beside me.Someone who could help me make sense of the message.Someone who could look at the photographs and tell me what they meant.And whether I liked it or not, Adrian was the person who had just been in the room with me.I lowered the phone.No.I could not run to him simply because I was frightened. I had already allowed him to become too important in my life, and I was determined not to make that mistake again.But the thought of facing the message alone was becoming unbearable.I needed to know whether Adrian had received the same photographs.I needed to know whether the sender had contacted him as well.And if he had, I needed to see his reaction.Would he be shocked?Would he be angry?Would he immediately accuse Serena of betraying him?Or would he react in a way that revealed

    Chapter 151Vanessa's povI stared at the screen.Perhaps they wanted me to confront Alex.Perhaps they wanted me to create a problem between him and Serena.Perhaps they wanted information about him.Or perhaps they wanted me to help them do something much worse.I shivered.I could not afford to trust an unknown person simply because they had shown me something that stirred my emotions. I had already made enough foolish decisions by allowing my desires to dictate my actions. If the sender was the man who had kidnapped me, then responding without thinking could put me in danger again.But ignoring the message was not easy either.The photographs had opened a door in my mind, and now I could not close it.I picked up the phone again and studied the images more carefully. In one, Alex was looking directly at Serena. In another, he appeared to be speaking to her while a membe

    Chapter 150Vanessa's povWhat if Alex had been cheating on me too?I froze.For several seconds, I simply stared at the wall.The thought was so sudden, so unwelcome, that I almost rejected it immediately. Alex? Cheating? The man who had always been devoted to me, the man who had given me so many opportunities to be happy, the man whose trust I had betrayed while he continued believing in our marriage?I shook my head."No."But the word lacked conviction.I looked down at the photograph again.Alex's hand rested on Serena's arm.Serena stood close to him.And he looked at her with an expression I had not seen directed at me in far too long.I swallowed.Perhaps the photograph was innocent.Perhaps he had simply helped her.Perhaps I was allowing jealousy to distort my judgment because I could not bear the thought that Serena might have s
