Adrian’s Point of View

I'll probably walk out of that courtroom a single woman again.

For several seconds, I said nothing.

I couldn't.

Single.

The word affected me in a way it shouldn't have.

The first emotion I felt was relief.

And immediately after came guilt.

Because Serena didn't look happy.

She wasn't celebrating.

She was just staring blankly at the wall.

For her, this wasn't just about finally getting her freedom.

It was also about something she had once believed would last forever finall

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   231. I Know Where His Heart Belongs.

    Serena’s Point of View“Yes, Sofia. I'm here.”I smiled at Adrian, who was standing beside me, holding his phone.“I’m not going to fall apart even if it happens tomorrow,”I paused and looked at Adrian. He was staring at me, his expression quite vulnerable.“Because I know that no matter when it happens, it's nothing but fake.”There was silence on the other end.For a moment, I wondered whether the call had disconnected.Then Sofia spoke.“Of course, it's fake. There's nothing to worry about.”She let out a chuckle.“I just thought you might feel a little upset after seeing the news.”“Actually, Sofia, you're right. It is something I should feel upset about.”Adrian instantly took my hand and searched my face.I smiled, reassuring him that I was fine.“I don't think there's a woman who would be happy to see the man she loves getting engaged to someone else, even knowing it isn't real.”“Exactly,” Sofia replied quickly. “That's what I was thinking too.”I gently rubbed Adrian's hand.

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   230. This Time, He Stayed.

    Serena’s Point of ViewWhen I opened my eyes the next morning, the first thing I realized was that I was still in Adrian's arms.My face rested against his chest, and I could hear the rhythmic beating of his heart.His arm was wrapped around my waist.For a moment, I simply lay there, listening to his heartbeat.Then a smile appeared on my face.Unlike the first time we made love, he hadn't left before I even woke up.Last time, all I'd had was a note from him to remind me of our night together.But this morning, he was here, holding me.How wonderful was it to wake up like this?After a few moments, I felt his arm move slightly around me.I lifted my head to look at his face.His eyes slowly opened, and a smile lit up his face as soon as his gaze landed on me.“Good morning, angel.”His voice was still a little husky from sleep.“Good morning, baby.”I kissed his cheek.He tightened his arm around me, pulling me closer.I rested my head against his chest again.For a while, we stayed

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   229. All the Time We Lost

    Serena’s Point of View“You can explain everything to me later,” I murmured.Adrian gently took my hand away from his lips.For a moment, he simply looked into my eyes.“Angel, are you really sure?”I nodded.“Yes.”He gently brushed his thumb over my lips.It was such a simple touch, but his eyes clearly showed how much longing was behind it.“You don't have to do anything just because you're upset about tonight.”“I know, baby. I'm not doing this because I'm upset.”I placed my hands on his chest.“But baby, tell me something. Do you think we should wait until everything is over?”“What, me?” He pointed a finger at himself.Then he shook his head immediately. “No, angel. I've been waiting for you to be ready. I don't want to wait anymore at all.”I smiled at him.“Then I'm ready now.”The expression in his eyes changed.The restraint and doubt slowly disappeared, replaced by a longing that made my heart race.He lowered his head, and his lips found mine.I slipped my arms around hi

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   228. Tonight, I Choose Us

    Serena’s Point of View12:30 a.m.I looked at the clock on the wall for probably the hundredth time.Around eleven, Adrian had sent me a message saying he would be late and asking me to go to sleep.But I'd told him I'd wait.There was no way I could fall asleep before he came home, especially after an unbearable day like today.Then, around 12:20, another message arrived.Adrian: I'm leaving the restaurant now, angel. I'll be home soon.I knew it would take him at least thirty minutes to get here.Yet I'd been watching the clock ever since receiving that message.When I finally heard the sound of the front door opening, I jumped to my feet and almost ran toward it.Adrian closed the door behind him and turned to me.He was still wearing the dark suit he'd worn that morning.His tie was loosened, and the first few buttons of his shirt were undone.He looked exhausted.“Adrian…”He smiled faintly.“Angel.”He walked straight toward me and pulled me into his arms.Tightly.As if he'd us

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   227. The Limits of Pretending

    Adrian’s Point of View“You have no idea how hard it is for me to cover for you, Adrian.”Her words left me speechless for a moment.Thinking about it carefully, what she said wasn't entirely wrong.We had an agreement. She didn't like this engagement either, but she was playing along according to our plan. She was doing her best.Though she didn't have to go that far, I could understand that she'd had to do something to cover for me.I could understand the pressure she was under, especially considering how her mother kept pestering her with questions all the time.I took a deep breath.“I'm sorry.”“I wasn't trying to take my frustration out on you. It's just that this whole thing is driving me crazy. And when the only person I believed was on my side didn't support me either, it made me even more frustrated.”Sofia stepped a little closer.“Adrian… I was supporting you. In the most effective way.”“I appreciate what you're doing. But Sofia, I've told you there are limits you can't c

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   226. You Have No Idea

    Adrian’s Point of View“I used to think you got angry at everything.”I looked at Noah.He was leaning against the wall, holding a glass of wine, his eyes lazily fixed on the people celebrating across the room.“I thought you had no patience at all,” he continued. “But only now do I understand how much patience you actually have.”I let out a humorless chuckle.“There's so much more you don't know about me, Noah.”“I know.”He straightened up and looked at me.The expression in his eyes changed to something serious.“And I wish you'd tell me those things too. Maybe then I could understand you better.”I studied his face for a moment.“When the time is right.”Noah sighed in frustration.“That's the answer you always give me.”“Because it's the only answer I can give you right now.”He emptied his wine in one go, as though he couldn't bear the frustration anymore. Then, lowering his glass, he looked at me.“Adrian, I seriously don't understand why you're putting up with all this bullsh

    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
