Adrian’s Point of View

The promise I made to the first woman I ever loved.

My mama.

When she died, I was too young to understand anything deeper. But even then, I knew my father and Marita were the people who had hurt my mama the most.

And standing in front of her lifeless body, I promised her that one day I would make them hurt just as much as they had hurt her.

Even if, back then, I had no idea how I was going to do it.

As I grew older and slowly learned the truth about everything, I understo

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   200. For Keeping Your Promise

    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

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   199. Nothing Is Going to Change

    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

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   198. Sofia. Adrian’s Friend.

    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

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   197. The Home You Come Back To.

    Serena’s Point of View“Serena, please don't go.”Adrian's fingers tightened around mine as I tried to stand.I smiled at him.“I'm not going anywhere, baby. I'm just going to wait outside until the doctors finish examining you.”His eyes studied my face for a second.“You'll come back?”“Of course I will.”“Promise?”I leaned closer and gently kissed his cheek.“I promise.”Only then did he reluctantly release my hand.Three doctors were inside examining Adrian.I was waiting with Becky, Noah, and Watson, watching the door, wondering when it would open again.I knew they had to examine him properly. It was important. But when they took this much time, I couldn't help getting worried again.“Why is it taking so long?”I asked the same question more than once, and Watson had to keep reassuring me.Finally, the doctors came out.“The good news is that we haven't found any signs of serious neurological damage,” the head doctor explained. “His responses are normal, and everything looks en

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   196. Say It Again

    Serena’s Point of View“He wants Serena.”“He keeps asking where she is. He isn’t letting anyone do anything until he sees her.”For a moment, I could only stare at Noah.Adrian asked for me.The moment he opened his eyes, he asked for me.Something incredibly warm spread through my chest, making all the fear and confusion that had lived in my heart for the past few days slowly disappear.My Adrian remembered me.Of course he did.But beside me, Watson didn’t seem quite as happy about what had happened.“Wait. He asked for Serena in front of everyone?”Only then did I understand the seriousness of what Adrian had asked.In front of his family.And Sofia’s family.Noah immediately shook his head.“Not really. The doctor came out and explained the situation to Dad. I was the only one standing with him at the time.”“And everyone else?”“They didn’t hear.”Watson seemed relieved.“So what happened then?”Noah looked at me before answering.“Dad told Mom and the others that the doctors ne

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   195. What If He Forgets Me?

    Serena’s Point of View“You can’t keep going like this, Serena.”I looked down at the cup of coffee Becky had pushed into my hands.“You need something other than coffee in your body.”I let out a sigh.“I’m not hungry.”I didn’t lie. I wasn’t hungry, nor was I thirsty. If it wasn’t for Becky forcing me, I wouldn’t even have this coffee.“You haven’t been hungry for almost a day. How is that even possible?”Almost a day.My fingers tightened around the warm cup.It had indeed been almost a day.And Adrian was still yet to regain consciousness.Watson had asked me to go home and rest, saying he would inform me as soon as Adrian woke up.But how could I go home?Leaving my Adrian here even before he opened his eyes?Becky had insisted on staying with me too, even when I told her a hundred times that I would be fine alone.But I hadn’t eaten.I hadn’t slept.Other than waiting in this room for news from Watson, I had done literally nothing.So Becky refused to leave me like this.“It has

    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

  • When My Husband Lost Me, His CEO Found Me   1. Room 1243

    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
