Serena’s Point of View

“Okay…”

I had already agreed and followed him to his car when reality finally hit me.

A decent meal… for someone like him?

I bit my lip as my hands tightened around my bag.

How much do I really have right now?

My rent was due the day after tomorrow, and that was everything I had.

Maybe… I could ask Lena for an advance. I had seen others do it. Maybe I could get that too.

I subconsciously glanced at the man sitting beside me.

His attention was on a tablet. His expression w

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   90. There Was Nothing Left to Steal

    Adrian's Point of ViewMy heart came to a complete stop.Serena was looking at me.Those brown eyes...They looked confused.Shocked.I knew this moment would come one day.But I didn't expect it to happen like this.In the middle of a supermarket.With so many strangers around us."Ask him, Serena!" Rowen screamed as a security guard tried to drag him away."Ask your precious CEO if anything I said was false!"My jaw tightened.I didn't care about Rowen's accusations.I didn't care about the people watching us.I didn't even care about the guy recording the entire damn scene with his phone.I didn't care if that video appeared on gossip sites the next morning.None of those things mattered anymore.What I cared about was her.Only her."Is that true?"Serena finally asked.I took a deep breath and lo

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   89. He wouldn't let me see you

    Serena's Point of ViewMy whole body froze.I forgot to even release the breath I had taken.I had heard that voice for seven years of my life.That voice had once been enough to make me feel so happy.But now...It only made me want to run to a place where I would never have to hear it again.I was about to run to Adrian.To my safe place.But I could only take one step before the man called my name again."Serena..."The next moment, a hand wrapped around my wrist, stopping me from moving forward.My whole body stiffened.I turned my head slightly to look at him.He removed his mask with his free hand.Rowen looked messier than I had ever remembered.His eyes were bloodshot.His usually neatly trimmed beard had grown out.There was also a long scar near his eye."Please..."His voice cracked."Just listen to me."I tried to pull my hand free."Let me go."But he didn't.Instead...His grip tightened."I know you hate me.""I know you don't even want to see me anymore.""I deserve th

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   88. He Found Me Again

    Adrian's Point of ViewI had no idea how long it had been.I walked out of her apartment, got into my car parked in front of the apartment complex, and placed my small suitcase and laptop on the back seat.Then I sat in the driver's seat.But I couldn't start the car and drive away.My eyes remained fixed on the apartment building in front of me.Third floor.Second window from the left.The curtain was still slightly open.A faint yellow light glowed from inside.And looking at that light, I was still waiting...For something I didn't even understand.Twice I reached for the ignition.Twice I stopped.I had agreed to leave her.Not because I wanted to.If I could...I was willing...More than willing...To spend every second with her.Protecting her.Taking care of her.But I truly didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable because of my constant presence.And just like she said...She needed to grow strong on her own.She needed to become the kind of woman who didn't need someone's

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   87. Don't Go Yet

    Serena's Point of View"I'm not going."I felt helpless."You can't keep living like this.""I can."He didn't sound even the slightest bit hesitant."No."I gently shook my head as I stared into those green eyes."You can't."He didn't say anything.He just kept looking into my eyes.I don't know why...But at that moment, his eyes looked more beautiful than ever.They almost made me reach out and touch them.I took a deep breath."Do you remember what you kept telling me after..."My voice caught for a moment."...after Theo..."His expression changed immediately."I remember everything I told you.""Every single word."I let out a quiet sigh."You told me...""...that I had to become strong.""So that one day...""When Theo comes back...""I'll be able to protect him."His gaze remained fixed on me."So tell me...""How am I supposed to become strong if you keep protecting me like this every second?"Adrian didn't answer.But I clearly saw his fingers tighten around his coffee mug.

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   86.You've Done Enough

    Serena's Point of ViewIt had been several weeks since Theo.Still, the pain hadn't become any smaller.Every morning, I still woke up with my hand reaching for my stomach before remembering there was no one breathing there anymore.Every night before I fell asleep, I hugged the little bear book I used to read to him every day and whispered good night to my beautiful baby.As if he could still hear me.I missed him with every heartbeat.With every breath I took.No amount of time...No amount of tears...Would ever change that.But...There was one thing that kept me waking up every morning and moving forward...Even when it was unbearably hard.Hope.The hope Adrian had carefully placed inside my broken heart over all these weeks."One day... our little boy will come back."He had said those words the very day we lost our baby boy.Then he kept saying them ever since.And somehow...I had slowly begun to believe those words too.Because believing that one day I would hold Theo in my

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   85.Who am I...

    Serena's Point of ViewIt wasn't even lunchtime yet...But this was the third time Adrian had come to our workspace.The first time, he had asked Jack and Ben for an update on the project.The second time...He said he was just passing by.And now...He didn't even mention a specific reason.He simply stopped beside Jack's desk once again.His calm green eyes swept across the room before finally settling on me.Those eyes were silently asking me the same question they had been asking since this morning.Are you okay?I gave him a small nod.Almost impossible for anyone else to notice.But enough for him to understand.That I was okay...His shoulders visibly relaxed.Then he looked toward Jack.And asked him something about the project.Jack immediately began explaining.It took only two or three minutes."Good."Then Adrian simply turned around and walked away.Our room became strangely quiet.And then...Ben leaned closer to me."I think the big boss has checked on our project more
