Frederick walked back into the ward angrily and Serena scurried behind him. She went to his front and stopped him, making him come to a halt."What were you saying? I think you were mistaken, I wasn't… I wasn't trying to jump off, I mean c'mon, what do you take me for? "Fred sighed and looked away from her gaze," I over reacted, I'm sorry. I forgot how drawn you were to heights like that" he said , trying to avoid her gaze. " It's fine" she answered," just don't come yelling at me like that again " she went over to her bed and laid down." Why did you come back here? I clearly told you I was doing fine with Anika" she said. Right, he literally should have just stayed at the office, he thought as he sighed again." Have you eaten now? " He ignored her question." I have, they suck at making pasta here. I almost lost my appetite but I was too hungry"" Maybe that's because they're used to making classic dishes, not pasta," he said as he came to stand beside her. He silently stared at h
They hugged tightly for a while before releasing each other."My child, I see you're doing fine" her mother said as she placed a hand on Serena's cheek.Serena wiped off her eyes and nodded."How have you been, mother? I'm sorry… it kind of felt like I abandoned you right?""Of course not, I understand that I have laid a burden on you, it's only right that you're working hard""Oh mother, don't say stuff like that"Her mother smiled. "Fred met with the doctor you see, he says I'm doing fine according to the doctor… but I know I'm not" she said, holding onto Serena's hands.Serena glanced at Fred who suddenly felt the urge to leave them alone.After he left, Serena sighed and said to her mother." You'll be fine, mother. The doctors here are professionals. They're very good so I promise you that there's hope, okay? "" How's my little boy doing? "" Troy's fine. I haven't spoken to him for some time now due to some complicated reasons but… " Her mother started to cough. " Is that 'com
After staying a while with her mother, they parted ways and Serena was led to the rooftop of the building where she met Frederick, his bodyguards and a jet."Is this jet yours?" she asked as she came to meet him and immediately tsked at herself for such a question. Of course it was his, it wouldn't be hers for christ sake. Fortunately he didn't hear her as he was on the phone with someone.She asked him immediately after he had ended the call, "are we going to fly in this to get home?"" Ah, yes, it's better since we don't want anyone noticing you. Also, there's traffic. "" I see""The pilot will take you home, I'm heading back to the office" Frederick said to Serena as he turned to leave. She immediately held his suit from behind," wh… what do you mean you're heading back? You want me to board this all by myself?" " Is there anything wrong with that? "He askedShe let go of his suit and said nervously," I can't go by myself Frederick "" You're not, you have bodyguards with you if
Collins handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "Miss June, we're going to find May and the person behind this, I'm grateful for your help despite the situation you're in. Where are your kids?""I couldn't bring them with me, it was too risky," she sniffed." I'll speak with Frederick, we'll send security over to them and you'll also be safe here. Until we've solved this, your safety is in our hands"" Do you know where May resides? "He asked" I do know but I doubt she'll be there, I couldn't stop by to check because I feared someone would be watching "" I understand" he said and gave her a paper and pen," write down her address, we'll take it from here Miss June"___________________________________Back at the mansion, Anika welcomed Serena and escorted her to her room.''I shall bring lunch for you soon, in the meantime you should have a good rest", she turned to leave but Serena called her back." Well, I… I was wondering if, uhm, if I could… prepare my meal from now on? "
"The 1st runner up of City Chef, tonight… I represent you, ladies and gentlemen, Serena Mundt! " " Oh my God" 18 year old Serena screamed delightedly as she scurried to the stage. Her ears, all red. She was over the moon and kept smiling ear to ear when the host slid a silver medal down her neck. Her hazel eyes searched through the applauding audience for her mother and when she found her, she said over the microphone "I dedicate this to you, mother, you never gave up on me and I'm so grateful for that."Another round of applause filled the hall again as Serena couldn't hold in the tears that finally flowed steadily down her face.She scurried back to the wings of the stage and before her, was her very close friend, 21 year old Frederick."And the time has come for the winner of tonight's City Chef to be made known. Who will take home that golden Toque? Well prepare yourselves my guests " "I knew you could do it" Frederick saidSerena snickered amidst the tears and smiled "well bra
Frederick Sullivan was never born rich. He lived with his petite mother in port Washington, a small and quiet town tucked along the North Shore of Long Island, with a forty-minute commute into Manhattan. His Father took off to fend for his other family, undeniably abandoning Fred and his mother. So anyone could guess that Fred would grow up to be successful enough to make his bastard Father regret leaving him. Fred had always had a thing for food and when he realised that this could be his gateway to wealth and everything he ever wanted, he packed his stuffs and with his mother by his side, they went to the big City of New York where he would own one of the biggest food company in the Country, F&S Corporation. Frederick Sullivan became known as the youngest billionaire in New York City at the age of 28. He owned companies in different parts of the country. Fred was a clean-cut, good-looking man of elegance and hostility. His eyes were grey-blue, he had a strong jawline and his
Upon Serena's sudden appearance, Fred suppressed the nostalgia he felt and decided on the best way to use this opportunity. She was perfect for the job as his fake wife. Since, she had stayed hidden all these years, though he didn't know why, but he thought to use it to his advantage.He was worried she might get angry when she sees the contract as that would be the first thing he does after years of no communication but somehow, he didn't care. She was the one who left without a reason anyways. He had sent an agent to do a background check on her before sending for her. When he heard of what happened to her mother, he felt bad but then on second thoughts, it proved that Serena was in need of money. So he would use money to get her.He decided to make their meeting just business based, no questions or personal conversations. Not that he wasn't curious about what happened and how she'd been all those years, but he thought maybe that would be what she wanted too. But he was wrong. Ser
Serena woke up to news all over the internet that Frederick Sullivan had a wife. They had been married for a long time but in secret. She knew it was probably Fred's doing. Everybody was eager to know who the billionaire's wife was and what she looked like.Serena had informed Dhoti of everything beforehand and trusted her to keep it a secret. Even from Troy. She had planned for them to relocate to somewhere else, where they wouldn't get involved. Troy was reluctant and refused to leave without his mother but Serena talked to him calmly. All she was doing was for the sake of him and his grandmother. "Mummy will come join you soon, alright?" She assured him while giving him a kiss on his forehead. Serena was going to transfer all the money Fred would pay her that day, to Dhoti. That was her reason why she requested it. When Dhoti and Troy finally left to their new place, a driver in a BMW 760li had come to pick Serena."You won't need any of your items ma'am" the driver said as he saw
