Serena

I watched as the paramedics wheeled Mr. Richard Wellington out of the conference room on a stretcher, his face pale, his body limp.

Margaret Wellington followed behind, sobbing hysterically.

Victoria was crying, clutching her mother's arm.

And Marcus... Marcus just looked lost. Broken. Like his entire world had collapsed.

Good.

A small smile tugged at my lips.

I turned my attention back to the remaining shareholders, keeping my expression professional and neutral.

But inside? Inside, I was celebrating.

The shock on their faces was priceless.

I have waited so long for this moment. Planned every detail. Anticipated every possible reaction.

But seeing it actually happen? Seeing the Wellington family completely destroyed?

It was even better than I'd imagined.

Mr. Wellington fainted?

I almost wanted to laugh.

I thought he was stronger than that.

All I did was take over the company. Just the company. And he fainted from the shock?

What will he do when I move to the next phase of my p

    Serena "Serena," he said, and his voice was different. Softer. Almost... pleading?"Mr. Wellington," I replied coolly. "What can I do for you?"He flinched at my formal tone."Please," he said. "Can we talk? Really talk?"I leaned back in my chair, studying him. "You have five minutes."He took a deep breath and stepped closer."I made a mistake," he said. "A huge mistake. Letting you go was the biggest mistake of my life."Wait, did I hear him well?Is this some kind of joke or what?I said nothing, just waited."I know I hurt you," he continued. "I know I treated you terribly. But I've been thinking, and I realize now... I still have feelings for you."Is he serious?"I want us to get back together," he said. "I want to fix what I broke. We can start over, Serena. We can...""No."The word was cold and final.Gosh, the shamelessness in his voice made me sick.Marcus blinked. "What?""No," I repeated. "We're not getting back together. We're not starting over. We're done, Marcus. We'

    SerenaI woke up feeling terrible.My head was pounding. My stomach was churning. My entire body felt weak and heavy, like someone had drained all the energy from me.I tried to sit up, but the room spun."Whoa," I gasped, falling back against the pillows.Immediately, Ethan was there."Serena?" His voice was filled with concern. "What's wrong?""I don't feel good," I admitted, my voice weak.He pressed his hand against my forehead, and his eyes widened."You're burning up," he said. "You have a fever.""I'm fine," I tried to say. "I just need to...""You're not fine," he said firmly. "And you're not going anywhere today."He pulled out his phone and started dialing."What are you doing?" I asked."Calling my doctor," he said. "He's coming here to check on you.""Ethan, that's not necessary...""Yes, it is," he said, his tone leaving no room for argument. "You've been pushing yourself too hard, Serena. Taking over Lawrence Global, dealing with the Wellington shareholders, it's all cat

    SerenaThe restaurant was elegant and quiet, with soft lighting and classical music playing in the background.Dave had reserved a private booth in the corner."So," he said after we'd ordered. "Tell me everything. What happened after I left? How did you end up running Lawrence Global?"I gave him a carefully edited version, leaving out the worst parts about Marcus and the Wellington family."I got married," I said. "It didn't work out. Got divorced. Reconnected with my father. And here I am.""Married and divorced already?" Dave asked, surprised. "Wow. Was it... was it Marcus?"I nodded, not trusting my voice.Something flickered in Dave's eyes. Anger? Concern?"I'm sorry," he said quietly. "I had a feeling he wasn't right for you.""You were correct," I admitted."Well, his loss is the business world's gain," Dave said with a smile. "You're incredible, Serena. You always were.""Thank you," I said, feeling uncomfortable with the compliment.We talked throughout dinner—about college,

    Serena"Dave?" I called out in shock, my voice barely above a whisper.My feet remained frozen to the spot, my mind struggling to process what I was seeing.Dave Harrison?It can't be.But it was.He stood there, looking even more handsome than I remembered. Tall, probably around 6'2" with perfectly styled dark blonde hair, striking green eyes, and that confident smile that used to make every girl on campus swoon.He was wearing an expensive charcoal gray suit that fit him perfectly, showing off his athletic build. A Rolex gleamed on his wrist. Everything about him screamed success and sophistication.This is the CEO of Titanium Global Ventures?My mind flashed back to college.Dave had been the most popular guy on campus. Every woman wanted to date him. Every man wanted to be him. He was smart, charming, athletic, rich, and devastatingly handsome.And he had asked me out multiple times back then.But I was already dating Marcus then. I was already completely devoted to Marcus, blind

    Marcus At the hospital, we sat in the waiting room for what felt like hours.My mother was sobbing quietly, her hands clasped in prayer.Victoria sat beside her, pale and silent.And I just sat there, numb, unable to process anything.Finally, a doctor came out."Mrs. Wellington?" he said.My mother jumped up. "Yes! How is he? Is he okay?""We've stabilized him," the doctor said. "But his blood pressure was dangerously high. The shock caused his body to shut down temporarily.""But he'll be okay?" I asked desperately."He'll recover," the doctor said. "But he needs to avoid stress. Any additional shock could cause serious damage, possibly even a stroke or heart attack."My mother started crying harder."Can we see him?" Victoria asked."Yes, but only for a few minutes. And please, keep him calm."We were led to my father's room.He was lying in the hospital bed, looking pale and weak, with tubes and wires attached to him."Richard," my mother whispered, rushing to his side.My father
