"God!"

Serena said nothing, only a whisper in her heart. The words hung in the air. Her jaw tightened. For all the rehearsed cool on her face, something fragile and fierce flickered behind her eyes.

The silence answered William, heavy and absolute. Until finally he closed the door behind him, and left her alone in the pale of light.

"What should I do?"

Rubbing her face gently, Serena tried with all her might to take deep breaths. The memory of Caelric's disappointed expression when she had to tell him yesterday that Caelen and Caelia had been transferred to another hospital tightened her chest.

She truly felt remorseful, and she felt she had failed at being a good mother.

"I've failed, haven't I?"

Serena thought so. She felt awful, especially because even now she was still trying to keep her children away from their biological father.

"I don't want this to keep happening!" she whispered at last, unable to hold back her tears.

Staring at a small framed photo in front of her, Serena fin

  • The Hidden Heiress: A Sweet Taste of Revenge   Every Night, With You

    William smiled at her words, his eyes drifting toward the triplets who were still sleeping so peacefully. A warm feeling spread through his chest as he watched them. He felt calm, content, and even more so when he looked back and found Serena still gazing at him."I think I said that wrong," he murmured.Serena frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"William brushed his thumb over the back of her hand before turning his gaze to the children again. "I shouldn’t have said just tonight. I should have said... not only tonight, but every night for the rest of my life.""So you want me to keep running from problems like this?" she asked quietly, even though she already knew what he truly meant. "To keep feeling this kind of worry?""No." William shook his head and stepped closer. Gently, he cupped her face, drawing her attention fully to him until nothing else seemed to exist."What I mean," he said, his voice steady and sincere, "is that I want to stay with you and the triplets. I’m willing

  • The Hidden Heiress: A Sweet Taste of Revenge   Run With Me Tonight

    The evening arrived wrapped in a quiet that felt almost too heavy.A gray electronics service van rolled through the iron gates of Serena’s father’s estate just as the sky began to dim. The logo on its side was plain, exactly what Serena had asked for. No luxury car. No familiar face. Nothing that would draw attention.One of the bodyguards checked the van and nodded after a brief exchange."Maintenance, ma’am. They’re here to check the security lines.""Let them in."Serena stood near the doorway, her posture calm, her expression carefully neutral.The van stopped near the side entrance. The driver’s door opened, and a man in a dark blue uniform stepped out, a cap pulled low over his face, a tool case in his hand.Serena’s eyes met his. William.Yes, William.For just a fraction of a second, the world seemed to narrow between them. Something warm and unspoken flickered in the air, then disappeared behind perfectly practiced expressions.As he stepped closer, their hands brushed. Will

  • The Hidden Heiress: A Sweet Taste of Revenge   A Mother’s Watchful Eyes

    "Caelen! Caelric! Caelia!"Serena rushed into the house the moment she stepped out of the car. She moved in a frantic hurry, searching for her three children. Her breath came fast and uneven, her heart pounding wildly."They’re near the back garden, ma’am," one of the maids said, immediately sending Serena in that direction.Serena looked left and right, her anxiety growing with every step. She was terrified that something terrible had happened to her children, especially when she remembered the package containing three jackets in the exact same colors as the ones they were wearing today."Caelen! Caelric! Caelia!""Mommy!""Oh, Thank goodness!"Caelen and Caelia, who had been about to head to their room, immediately ran toward their mother when they saw her. Their small feet hurried to Serena, who looked utterly panicked, before they wrapped their arms around her at the same time and clung to her affectionately."Where’s Caelric, sweethearts? Why is it just the two of you?" Serena as

    "Oh God..."Serena rubbed her head as a sudden wave of dizziness hit her. William had left her office a few minutes ago, but his words were still echoing in her mind. Even though he had corrected himself in the end by saying Selena’s name, she still couldn’t stop thinking about it."So back then... His mother deliberately saved me?" Serena lowered her head, rubbing her face over and over again. She hated feeling this way. She felt guilty, and stupid, for only finding out the truth now.So Mirelle Velmond had sacrificed herself to protect her and the triplets who were still in her womb at the time?Serena felt suffocated just thinking about it. She never would have expected it, especially since it was William’s mother who had invited her to meet at that park in the first place.Could it be that Mirelle Velmond had deliberately asked her to go there because she already knew about the assassination plot targeting her?Serena pressed her temples again. That possibility made it even harder

    "Are you serious? You’re sure you didn’t see it wrong?"William’s words directly contradicted everything Serena had believed all this time. She lifted her head again, meeting the man’s gaze, then finally lowered it when he handed her an old photograph, its edges visibly worn and damaged."At first, I thought the same thing," William said while staring at the photo now in Serena’s hands. "I thought it might just be a business tactic, but... that photo changed my assumptions."Serena narrowed her eyes, trying to recognize the woman standing between her biological father and William’s grandfather. At first, she thought it was her mother, but it wasn’t. The woman’s gaze and the curve of her smile were very different, even though her height was almost the same as her mother’s."Who is this woman?" Serena asked, looking back at William. "She seems very close to your grandfather and my father.""That’s what I still don’t know," William replied, his eyes returning to the photo. "I accidentall

    "What? Why are you only telling me this now?!"Serena immediately straightened her back when she heard the words of one of her father’s most trusted men that afternoon. She had just begun to feel a little calmer as, one by one, the people who had destroyed her life and William’s were finally being exposed. But now, she was confronted with shocking news she had never expected."I’m sorry, Miss," Martin said again, lowering his head. "I was only carrying out your father’s orders. He told me to inform you if his condition was still unstable after five days.""Just tell me the name of the hospital where he is," Serena cut in quickly, unwilling to waste any more time. "I’ll talk to him myself. I want to see his condition with my own eyes. And I want to ask him what happened to him before, what made him end up like this.""I’m sorry, Miss."Serena frowned when her father’s trusted subordinate only repeated his apology and said nothing more. She let out a shallow breath before finally closin
