THE COLD MORNING

(Serena's POV)

I woke up to sunlight streaming through unfamiliar windows. For a moment, I forgot where I was. Then everything came rushing back. Helena. Isabella's kidnapping. The marriage proposal and Lysander walking out.

I sat up in the massive bed and rubbed my face. My body ached from tension and lack of proper sleep. I had spent most of the night tossing and turning, my mind racing with questions and fears.

A soft knock came at the door. "Miss Vaughn? Breakfast is being

  • The Billionaire’s Greatest Loss: Ex Wife Please Come back    Chapter 150

    THE BEGINNING(Serena's POV)Three years later.I stood at the window of my office on the top floor of Vaughn Innovations. The sun was setting over Manhattan, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. The city sprawled out below me, alive and bustling.My city. My company. My life.So much had changed in three years. Vaughn Innovations was thriving again. We had expanded into new markets, hired talented people and built partnerships with companies around the world. The company my mother had dreamed of was finally becoming a reality."Mama, are you ready to go home?"I turned to see Isabella standing in the doorway of my office. She was five years old now. Tall for her age. Her dark hair was in two braids. She was wearing her school uniform with the tie slightly crooked."Almost, baby," I said. "Just finishing up some emails. How was school?""Good," Isabella said. She came into the office and flopped down on the couch. "We learned about fractions today. They're confusing.""Mat

    THE NEW LIFE(Damien's POV)I woke up early on a Monday morning. The sun was just starting to rise over the California hills. I could see it through the window of my bedroom at Lysander's estate.My bedroom. Not the master suite I had grown up in at the Blackwood mansion. Not the enormous space with the king sized bed and the marble bathroom.Just a regular bedroom with a regular bed and a regular bathroom.And I loved it.For the first time in my life, I was living without Eleanor's influence. Without her money. Without her control.Lysander had been generous enough to offer me a room at his estate. "Just until you get on your feet," he had said. "Until you start earning and can afford your own place."I was grateful. More grateful than I could express.Today was important. Today I had a job interview at a local accounting firm. Nothing glamorous, just a regular job for a regular salary.But it was mine. Something I had earned on my own, not because of the Blackwood name, not because

    THE SURPRISE(Serena's POV)I hesitated for a moment. After everything with Eleanor, unknown numbers made me nervous. But something told me to answer it."Hello?" I said cautiously."Long time, girlfriend."The voice was familiar. "Adrian?" I gasped. "Adrian Cole?""The one and only," he said. I could hear the smile in his voice. "Welcome back to New York, Serena.""How did you know I was coming back?" I asked."I have my sources," Adrian said mysteriously. "Plus, the whole world knows about Eleanor's arrest. And I know you. I knew you'd come back to reclaim what's yours."Adrian Cole. One of my three allies in New York City. The men who had helped me when Vaughn Innovations was struggling. When I was building the company from nothing.Adrian, Lucas, and Jason. The three of them had believed in me when no one else did. They had helped me when Eleanor tried to bring me down."Where are you right now?" Adrian asked."On a plane," I said. "About an hour from landing.""Perfect," Adrian

    THE NEW BEGINNING(Serena's POV)I couldn't stop the tears as Eleanor was led away in handcuffs. She looked so small and diminished. Nothing like the terrifying woman who had controlled so many lives for so long.Now justice has been served. For my mother, for the lives she had destroyed.I felt Lysander's hand on my shoulder. "Are you okay?""No," I said honestly. "But I will be. Eventually."Elena was crying too. She had known my mother. She had met her several times before she died."I'm so sorry, Serena," Elena said through her tears. "Your mother was such a good woman.""She was," I agreed. "And now everyone knows what happened to her. There's some comfort in that."The courtroom slowly emptied.People were talking in hushed voices, processing what they had just witnessed.I looked around at the people who had fought beside me. Victoria, Claire, Lysander, Elena, and Damien.He was standing with Victoria. Both of them looked exhausted and drained. But also relieved.I wanted to go

    THE REVELATION(Damien's POV)"What?!" I stared at Lysander in shock. "Claire? Claire Henderson? But I thought she was...""Dying?" Lysander finished. His expression was grim. "That's what Eleanor wanted everyone to think."I felt my legs go weak. I leaned against the garden wall for support. "But the hospital. They said she was in a coma. That she would never wake up.""She was in a coma," Lysander said. "Eleanor made sure of that. She bribed the doctors to give Claire the wrong medications. To keep her sedated and let her waste away slowly.""My God," I whispered. "I had Claire treated without Eleanor's knowledge and later moved her to a different hospital under a false name. It took months, but Claire woke up.""Where is she now?" I asked, letting out a sigh."Safe," Lysander said. "At a private facility under heavy security. She's been recovering. And she remembers everything Eleanor did to her."I ran my hands through my hair. This was bigger than I had imagined. "She's going

    THE CONSEQUENCES (Damien's POV) I walked back into the house. My face was stinging where Isabella's shoe had hit me. But that pain was nothing compared to what I was feeling inside. My daughter hated me. She didn't even recognize me as her father. To her, I was just a stranger who made her mother sad. And she was right. That's exactly what I was. I went to my room, closed the door and sat on the bed. What had I been thinking? Trying to kiss Serena? After everything I had put her through? After years of being absent from their lives? I was a fool. A selfish fool who thought one grand gesture would fix everything. But life didn't work that way. Trust wasn't rebuilt in a day. Love wasn't rekindled with a single moment. I had destroyed what Serena and I once had. And I might never get it back. There was a knock on my door. "Come in," I called. Victoria entered. She looked tired. The press conference had taken a lot out of her. "I saw what happened outside," she said. "Are yo

    THE EVIDENCE(Serena's POV)The flight to California was long and painful. Every bump of turbulence sent shooting pains through my cracked ribs. Lysander sat across from me, his head wrapped in bandages. Elena was stretched out on one of the plane's beds, her broken leg elevated.We barely spoke du

    THE RECKONING(Damien's POV)Time stopped having any meaning in the wine cellar. It was just darkness and cold. The throbbing in my head was a constant drumbeat of pain. The cut on my temple had stopped bleeding, but the skin was tight and sore. I was shivering, my thin clothes no match for the dam

The pain in my head flared up again, hot and throbbing.I rolled over and glared at him. "Get out."Marcus stood there for a moment, his expression blank as always. Then h
