登入It took me so long to finish this chapter, but this was also the chapter we’ve all been waiting for. ❤️ Maybe some of you were already getting impatient, thinking, When is this man finally going to realize his feelings? But not everyone falls in love at first sight, and not everyone understands their emotions right away. For some people, love grows slowly, through little moments, until one day they finally realize just how deeply someone has become a part of their heart. Taking longer to recognize love doesn’t make it any less real or valuable. Adrian needed time to understand what Serena had become to him. And he finally did. He may not have told Serena yet… But somehow, it feels right that the first person he told was their little boy. ❤️
Adrian’s Point of ViewI’m leaving the cemetery now.That was the text I was waiting for, still hadn’t come.I knew she had a lot to talk about with Theo, but she had already spent quite a long time there. She should get home before it becomes too dark.Are you still there?I had texted her ten minutes ago, but there was still no reply.She knew how worried I became whenever she went somewhere alone, so she usually answered my texts immediately.Finally, I couldn’t just sit there pretending I was paying attention to the man on the podium.I excused myself and stepped into the hallway.I called her, trying to convince myself that maybe she was already in a taxi on her way home and had simply forgotten to tell me.Maybe she hadn’t seen my text either.It rang.And rang.But she didn’t answer.I called again.Same result.I tried one more time, and by then, my heart had already gone cold.Still no answer.The last time I kept calling her and she didn’t answer, I was too late for our litt
Serena’s Point of View “Let her go!” For a second, I thought he had come. Adrian. Because he was the only man who somehow appeared in front of me whenever I was in a helpless situation. But it wasn’t Adrian this time. It was his younger brother. Noah. He looked nothing like the Noah I had known for the past few weeks. His usual playful grin, his teasing expression, there wasn’t even a hint of either. His eyes looked so cold. So indifferent. And for the first time, I actually realized how much he resembled Adrian. Noah’s eyes were fixed on Rowen’s hands gripping mine as he took hurried steps toward us. “I said let her go.” “Fuck!” Rowen cursed when he saw Noah, but he didn’t release me. His grip tightened to the point where I felt like even my bones were being crushed. “She is my wife. Who are you to interfere in our problems?” Noah’s steps paused. His expression turned even colder. “Oh! So you’re the soon-to-be ex-husband who cheated on her.” I stared at Noah. I had
Serena’s Point of ViewOur little boy?How could he even call Theo that?“Only after he died did you decide to call him that?”He ran his fingers through his hair, looking frustrated.“I know I made a grave mistake, Serena.”“A mistake is something you do without knowing better. But everything you did, you did because you wanted to, Rowen. You made choices, not mistakes.”“Serena… Please… I know how wrong everything I did was.”He looked into my eyes. His eyes had turned a little red.“And I regret every bit of it, Serena. Please believe me.”He took a step forward.And I took a step back subconsciously.His expression turned helpless at my movement.He rubbed his face roughly with his palm and looked at me again.“I found another job.”I stared at him. Why was he telling me this?“Not at a big company. I’m not earning as much as I used to. But I’m working hard. I’m trying my best, Serena.”He swallowed.“To build my life again.”“Why are you telling me all this?”“I miss you, Serena.
Serena’s Point of ViewI’m leaving the office now.I sent the message to Adrian before I left the lobby of Henrix Properties to catch a taxi.His reply came almost immediately.Okay. Text me when you get there. Please be careful.Despite the heaviness in my heart, a tiny smile appeared on my lips.I will be careful. Now focus on your conference.I left work earlier than usual. I wanted to spend more time with Theo.I got out of the taxi at the flower shop near the cemetery.White roses.And baby’s breath.Somehow, I always ended up buying just those.Maybe because they looked so pure.So soft.Just like my Theo had been.I held the bouquet carefully against my chest and walked toward the cemetery.When I was right in front of the gate, I sent Adrian another text.I am at the cemetery. The reply came instantly.Okay, Tell me when you leave. Take care.I smiled at his message and then began to follow the path that I knew by heart.Every turn.Every tree.Every step that brought me clo
Adrian's Point of ViewHow the hell did I end up like this?I leaned against the closed bathroom door and let out a long sigh.For a long moment, I just stood like that, taking deep breaths.Trying to control the physical reaction I was having.But damn.It wasn't as easy as it seemed.Everything that had just happened began replaying in a loop in my mind.How she had been sitting on my lap.One of her arms around my neck.Her fingers slipped beneath my shirt to trace my bare chest.Her lips moved against mine.I wanted her.It wasn't exactly a new revelation anymore.I had known how much I needed her for a while now.But what I felt today was different from all of that.It wasn't the need to hug her tightly.It wasn't the desire to steal a kiss from her.It was the raw, desperate need to press her against me and let all those burning desires consume both of us.There was no way I was going to solve my current problem anytime soon if I kept thinking like this.I walked over to the sin
Serena’s Point Of ViewAdrian came over for dinner that evening.I was arranging the food on the table when he suddenly asked,“Why did you go for coffee with Becky?”I looked at him.“To apologize.”“For disappearing from the party?”“Yes.”He nodded.“That's all?”I lifted my gaze to him.“What else do you think we talked about?”He quickly grabbed the glass in front of him and took a sip of water.“I don't know.”“Really, Adrian?”I sat across from him.“You two seem to talk about everything in the world.”His eyes were still on his glass of water.Oh.Now I understand.A smile appeared on my lips.“Adrian, are you asking if I talked about you with her?”His eyes lifted to mine.“When did I ask that?”“You didn't. But that's what you want to know.”“No.”“Why would I even care what you talked about with her?”“That's right, Mr. Henrix. As a busy CEO, why would you even care what two female employees of your company talked about?”He frowned at me.I smiled sweetly.“And for your in
Serena’s Point of View“Sir… I didn’t realize you had arrived.”Marco’s tone shifted instantly into something respectful and polite as he stepped toward the table by the window.The tall man in the dark suit didn’t respond. He simply looked at the customer, his eyes completely emotionless.I turned
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
