ログインAdrian’s Point of ViewI was still staring at the closed door even a few seconds after my father left.Otherwise, even she won't know what's coming for her.My hand tightened around the blanket.I knew my father well.He hadn't made any open threats until now.And today, he finally had.It wasn't an empty threat.I reached for my phone and called Watson.He answered after the second ring.“Sir?”“Where are you?”“At the office.”“Is Serena still at her apartment?”Serena had gone home because she needed to pick up a few things. She had practically stayed at the hospital since I was admitted, and obviously, she had no plans to leave me until I was able to go home.“Yes. I think she's still busy packing. Garry is downstairs waiting for her.”My jaw tightened.“She's alone upstairs?”“Yes. Garry will let me know the moment she comes down.”“Ask him to go upstairs and wait in front of her door.”Watson paused for a moment.“Okay. I'll call you back.”He hung up.I knew nothing would proba
Adrian’s Point of ViewI simply stared at him quietly, recalling what Serena had told me.It was my father who had sent everyone else out and asked Noah to bring her to me when I woke up and refused to even let the doctors examine me until I saw her.“So you sent everyone out and asked Noah to bring her because you felt sorry for me?”“Otherwise, why do you think I endured your childish drama?”“No… It's just…”I stared at him.“I didn't know you were actually capable of feeling something like that for me.”His face darkened.“Adrian, I am your father. What do you think of me?”What could I think of him?He'd had an affair with another woman and even brought her and her child into our home while my mother was still alive.But without saying any of that, I simply kept looking at him.“I could have asked the doctors to examine you even if you protested. I could have refused to let her enter this room. I could have thrown her out of the hospital the moment I knew she was here.”I swallow
Serena’s Point of ViewSOFIA HUDSON STANDS BY ADRIAN HENRIX FOLLOWING SERIOUS ACCIDENT — FUTURE FIANCÉE SHOWS HER SUPPORTI stared at the headline for a few seconds.Future fiancée.I hated those two words, even though I knew with certainty that they meant nothing.Letting out a sigh, I looked at the photos attached to the article.There were four photos altogether.In the first one, Sofia was sitting beside Adrian's hospital bed, holding a glass of water toward him. Adrian was looking at her.The next photo showed Sofia adjusting Adrian's pillow, Adrian lifting his body slightly to let her do it.The third photo had been taken while they were simply talking.They were looking at each other, both smiling slightly. Sofia's hands rested on the bed while Adrian's were neatly placed over his stomach.The final photo had been taken in front of the ICU, where members of both families stood together outside the door. It must have been taken while Adrian was still in the surgery. Relief wash
Serena’s Point of ViewThe door had barely closed behind Sofia when Adrian turned to me.“Angel.”“Yes?”“Are you really okay with this?”I sighed.“Adrian, we just talked about this.”“I know you made yourself clear. Even adding conditions.”He smiled, that proud smile appearing on his face again.“But I'm asking again.”“Why?”“Because I know you.”I raised my eyebrows.“What do you mean?”“I just want to know your true feelings about them taking these photos of her pretending to take care of me.”I closed my eyes for a moment and took a deep breath.Then I looked at him.“Do I like another woman sitting beside you, pretending to take care of you for some photos?”“No.”“I don't like it. Even if it may look utterly harmless, I still hate seeing another woman beside you, taking care of you. I want to be the only woman who gets to do that.”His lips twitched.“Good.”“Why are you smiling?”“Because I don't want to be the only possessive one in our relationship. I want you to be just a
Serena’s Point of ViewAdrian stared at Sofia.“Why the hell is something like that even necessary?”He sounded angry, his fingers tightening around mine.Sofia sighed.“Don't ask me. I am not who decided that. But our parents think that since we're supposedly getting engaged soon, it would look strange if I didn't appear beside you in the media while you're lying in a hospital bed.”“What kind of logic is that? Why does a person's private life always have to be in the media? I don't want my private life to become a continuous media show.”I gently rubbed Adrian's hand.I didn't want him getting this angry when the doctors had specifically asked him to avoid stress.He looked at me and let out a sigh.“I know how you feel, Adrian,” Sofia continued. “I don't want my life to become a continuous media show either. Have you ever seen me even constantly updating my life on social media? I love privacy too.”She paused.“But we have to understand the situation from our parents' side too. Th
Serena’s Point of ViewAdrian and I both turned our heads toward the door at the sound of knocking.“Come in,” I said.The door opened, and Watson stepped inside.“They'll be here soon.”I looked at the time.Half an hour had already passed?It felt like five minutes.I slowly stood from the chair.“I should go.”Adrian was still holding onto my hand.“Once they're gone, you'll come back, right?”I smiled.“I'll come back.”“As soon as they're gone?”“Okay, baby.”His eyes narrowed slightly.“Promise?”I laughed.“Why do you keep making me promise you every time?”“Because with everything that's happening right now, I'm really afraid.”He let out a sigh.“Don't worry. I promise.”I leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.Watson was standing right behind us. He could see everything.Still, I didn't care.At least I could act like he belonged to me in front of the people we trusted.As I promised, I went back to him after his family and Sofia's family left.But I had to wait
Serena’s Point of View“For table seven!”Lucy called from the kitchen, and I quickly picked up the tray.It was a Friday evening, my third day at Lena’s. With Lena suddenly ill, Marco was managing the restaurant, and the whole place felt slightly off.I made my way through the crowded tables.The
Serena’s Point of ViewFinding a place to stay wasn’t easy, and I didn’t have the luxury to be picky.After a few calls and visits, I finally found a room in a shared apartment.Fortunately, they only required the monthly rent as a deposit.The place was small, just enough for a bed, a table, and a
Serena’s Point of ViewI shouldn’t have agreed.That was the first thought that came to my mind as I walked to the café where I was supposed to meet Rowen.Last night, I went back to that place I once called home, only to grab some of my clothes and belongings. I didn’t stay there, even when Rowen
Serena’s Point of View“Serena… can you hear me?”Rowen’s voice was the first thing I heard as the darkness slowly faded and I tried to open my eyes.I shut my eyes again as tightly as possible.I wished I could shut my ears too, so I wouldn’t have to listen to his voice. But I couldn’t move my ha
