Serena’s Point of View

Henrix Properties.

I stood in front of the tall building for a moment.

The name gleamed in gold against the glass under the bright spring sun.

For a second, I couldn’t move. I couldn’t even breathe.

This place… it felt too big. Too unreal.

Far away from the life I had been living for the last two years.

The cramped, cold room. The life where I had to count every cent to make it to the next day…

And before that…

A home that was never really mine. A marriage that ruined my

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   18.My First Day In His World.

    Serena’s Point of ViewHenrix Properties.I stood in front of the tall building for a moment.The name gleamed in gold against the glass under the bright spring sun.For a second, I couldn’t move. I couldn’t even breathe.This place… it felt too big. Too unreal.Far away from the life I had been living for the last two years.The cramped, cold room. The life where I had to count every cent to make it to the next day…And before that…A home that was never really mine. A marriage that ruined my dignity… my happiness.I took a deep breath.It’s all in the past. A past I am going to walk away from.“This is where our new lives begin.”My hand moved instinctively to my stomach.“We’re going to be happy.”Then I stepped forward. I walked inside the tall building.The place was pure sophistication.Glass walls. Open spaces. Light poured in from every direction.It wasn’t just an office.It was… a world I couldn’t even imagine myself in.But today...______________________________________“S

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   17. Like Stars

    Serena’s Point of View“You know what?”I turned around and looked at them. My voice was unexpectedly calm and steady.“I’ve heard far worse things from people who mattered to me way more than any one of you ever will.”The smiles on their faces faded. Their expressions darkened.“But what you just said about him…”I paused and took a deep breath, letting the silence stretch.“Has he ever made any unwanted comments to any of you, as other customers do?” I asked quietly.No one spoke.“Has he ever touched any of you like those customers who think touching a waitress is part of the service?”Their faces stiffened.“He comes. He eats. He pays. And he leaves.”“Nothing else.”My gaze moved across each of them and stopped at Lucy’s face.“So why did you want to drag him into this?”Another pause.“Because he helped a poor waitress he hadn’t even met before, just because it was the right thing to do?”My heart was beating faster. My whole body was warming up. Still, my voice remained calm,

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   16. You Look Different.

    Serena’s Point of View“You look different.”That’s what he said, after his gaze lingered on me longer than usual.My smile widened.I didn’t know if it was because I got the job or because someone had noticed the difference between my sadness and this quiet, proud happiness.“I got the job at Henrix Properties,” I said, unable to hold it anymore.A pause.Then...“Congratulations.”He stood up and extended his hand.“I had no doubt,” then he added.I blinked.He wasn't the kind of man who said things to make people feel better. Which meant he actually believed it.For a second, my chest tightened with a feeling so overwhelming, yet filled with warmth.I placed my hand in his.His grip was firm. Steady.And warm.Warmer than I remembered.Or maybe… it was just my imagination.After a brief second, he sat back, his eyes still focused on me.“I applied for a junior analyst position,” I continued, my voice carrying a hint of pride I hadn’t felt in a long time, “but based on my performanc

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   15. Before I could stop it.

    Serena’s Point of View“Hello…”I answered the call quickly, my fingers tightening slightly around my phone.My heart was beating faster. Hope began to bloom again in my mind."This is it," I thought."This has to be it."But....“Hello, Ms. Serena Gilbert? This is from City Care Hospital. We’re sorry, but we have to reschedule your appointment because…”My heart dropped.An unexplainable ache spread through my body.The woman was explaining something, but my mind failed to register most of it.“I will send you an email with the updated details,” she said at the end.“Okay… thank you,” I replied. My voice sounded small. Faint.I lowered my phone slowly.That was it.No call from Henrix Properties.Even my final hope… shattered just like that.I let out a quiet breath.It hurt.So much more than it should.In my whole life, losing hope at the last moment had become something usual. Still… it seemed like I wasn’t fully used to it.I felt foolish.I felt lonely.My throat tightened.For

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   14. This Time It was Real

    Serena’s Point of View“Congratulations. Your CV has been selected.”I read the first line of the email, I don’t know how many times until it finally felt believable.After the deadline closed, I received an email saying they had received many CVs and would shortlist candidates and inform us later. I was a bit worried thinking about the competition ahead of me, and even getting my CV shortlisted felt like a challenge. I had spent those few days almost losing hope.But now… finally…I had been shortlisted.There would be a practical test and an interview on the same day.This was not just an interview.This was the one door that had opened when every other door had closed. I could not afford to waste it.A small breath left my lips.I touched my belly gently.“Did you hear that?” I whispered softly. “Mama got shortlisted.”“Mama is going to work super hard and get us in. I promise…”A faint smile appeared on my face._____________________________________________________Since Lena had

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   13. You Deserve Better

    Serena’s Point of View“I… I need these extra shifts… please…”My voice came out weaker.Lena looked into my eyes, not with sympathy, but with the understanding of someone who could see through my pain and my hopes.“I know,” she said gently.Her hand rested lightly on my shoulder, warm and steady.“I know why you need them.”I clutched the corner of my apron tightly.“Then please…”“But I also know that you can’t handle this,” she said. Her tone wasn’t harsh, nor was it filled with forced kindness.She was simply stating the truth. And that made it harder to argue against.Still, I tried.“I can… please… I just need a little more time. I’ll be careful. I won’t let you down…”“Serena…” she said softly.“I know you’re studying at night. You’re busy the whole day. You barely eat. And today…”Her gaze dropped slightly.“You couldn’t even make it through your shift.”My throat tightened.“I’m sorry,” I murmured instinctively.“I said you don’t have to apologize,” Lena replied.“I’m a woma
