LOGINAdrian's Point of View"Serena!"I was out of the car before I even realized I had opened the door.Rain hit me instantly, soaking me within seconds.But I didn't even feel it.I ran toward her as fast as I could."Serena!"I stopped in front of the figure beneath the yellow umbrella.Serena didn't move.She didn't even raise her head.For one terrifying second, I wondered if she had heard me at all.Then her fingers tightened slightly around the handle of her umbrella.She heard me."Serena…"I called her again, my voice almost breaking now.She was sitting on the wet, dirty ground in front of the locked cemetery gates, her knees pulled close to her body.The umbrella was still above her head, but it had barely protected her from the rain.Her clothes were soaked. Her hair was damp.And her face…With my car's headlights still on, I could clearly see how swollen her eyes were.She had been crying.For a long time.And it was all because of me.The very man who had promised in front o
Adrian's Point of ViewI had no idea how I ended up behind the wheel.A few minutes earlier, I had been in my office with Becky's voice coming through my phone.And now I was driving through nearly empty streets in the pouring rain.My hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly my fingers hurt.But it was nothing compared to the pain in my heart.I could still hear Becky's voice in my head."I was afraid Serena might have seen it, so I called her. The first two times, her phone rang, but she didn't answer. Then I called again and her phone was switched off."Just like when I called her."I drove to her place. She wasn't there. The security guard said she walked out earlier.""Walked out?""Yes. I looked around the nearby streets, but I couldn't find her."And that was all it took.I had left the office after giving Watson brief instructions to handle everything while I ran toward the elevator.Noah had followed me downstairs, asking questions I didn't have time to answer.But I saw h
Adrian’s Point of ViewI took the elevator to the top floor, where Watson was waiting for me near the doors.He immediately began giving me the latest status report.I listened while walking.By the time I reached the conference room, I had caught up with everything.I looked at the senior managers gathered around the table.“I want everything that can be completed tonight done tonight.”A few exhausted faces turned toward me.“I know you’re all tired, but please bear with me for just one more night. I promise you’ll all be compensated generously for this.”Then I turned to Watson.“Watson, if we don’t have enough people, bring in additional staff. There’s no need to wait for anything. If you run into a problem, raise it as quickly as possible.”Then I looked at the senior managers again.“You can all reach me directly if necessary. Don’t waste time waiting.”After discussing the urgent work that needed to be completed, I returned to my office and buried myself in work.For the next f
Adrian's Point of View"Adrian, why don't you stay for dinner? It will be our first meal together as a family."Family.My palms clenched at my sides as I controlled myself from reacting to that word.Sofia's mother, Maria Hudson, smiled warmly at me."I'm sorry, Mrs. Hudson. I still have several things at the company I need to sort out before tomorrow morning.""Oh, you poor boy."Her smile faded slightly."But I promise I'll make it up to all of you soon."I said it as politely as I could.For me, the past hour had already been more than enough.Posing for photos with Sofia.Exchanging greetings with her parents.Discussing business with our fathers.I had to get out of here as soon as possible."Father. A word?"I turned to my father.He followed me away from the others without saying anything.The moment we were far enough away from everyone, I spoke."Don't forget what you promised me."His eyebrows rose."Promise?"My jaw tightened.He knew exactly what I was talking about."Not
Serena's Point of ViewHENRIX-HUDSON ALLIANCE: ADRIAN HENRIX AND SOFIA HUDSON SET TO ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENTI stared at those words until my vision completely blurred.No.There had to be a mistake.Yes, that had to be it.Sometimes, these news websites put one thing in the headline, but the actual story underneath is completely different.This had to be something like that.There was no way my Adrian would even think of getting engaged to another woman.So I had to read the rest quickly.My fingers trembled as I scrolled down the page.However, the content beneath that horrifying headline wasn't what I was hoping to find.Adrian Henrix and Sofia Hudson, the future heirs of the powerful Henrix and Hudson families, are expected to announce the date of their engagement very soon, strengthening the decades-long relationship between the two families and their business interests.Richard Henrix and Michael Hudson, the current chairmen and proud fathers of the young heirs, have announced that
Serena’s Point of ViewAfter listening to Becky's lecture about not overthinking anything for the entire drive home, I finally made it back to my apartment.Becky knew I was upset after seeing that interview. So she had offered to drive me home and tried her best to ease my mind.And while I was with her, I could actually stop worrying for a while.But she couldn't stay with me. Her mother wasn't feeling well, so she had to go home.After changing my clothes, I cooked again, even though I still had food from yesterday that I could've simply heated up.Despite Adrian clearly saying in his message that he still needed more time, I was foolishly waiting for the sound of the doorbell.Waiting for him to appear outside my door, looking exhausted.And say that familiar…Hi, angel.Just like he had two nights ago.And when he came, I didn't want him to eat yesterday's food.I knew he probably wasn't even paying attention to what he ate when he was this busy. So I wanted him to have something
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
Serena’s Point of ViewAll the lies I had believed so far… all the false hopes I had clung to as if my life depended on them…How had I let myself believe this for so long?It was indeed my husband inside Room 1243, naked, without even a thread of fabric covering him.“Who the hell?!” Rowen’s voice
Serena’s Point of ViewI sat outside the gynecologist’s office, staring at the clock nervously. It was almost 11:30, but Rowen was still not here.I checked our chat again, but there was no reply; he hadn’t even seen my messages.I called him. It took so long before he finally answered. “Serena?” H
