LOGINSerena’s Point of ViewSafe.That was exactly how I felt with my face buried in his chest, filling my lungs with the familiar scent of him.After I didn’t even know how long, I slowly lifted my head.Adrian loosened his arms around me, but he didn’t completely let me go.His eyes wandered over my face.There was a longing in them that felt so different, but I couldn’t really name it.He gently tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.A small smile appeared on his face as he leaned toward me.Then his lips pressed against mine.Gently.Slowly.His hand cupped my cheek as his lips began to move against mine with a tenderness that made my heart melt.For all the kisses we had shared, this kiss…It somehow felt different, in the same unexplainable way his eyes looked different.When he pulled away, his forehead rested against mine.Neither of us spoke.We just stayed like that for another moment.Then I reached for his hand.It happened to be his injured one.Something wet and warm touched
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 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
Adrian’s Point of ViewI returned to the office after the meeting at 4Axis.There were documents waiting. There were always documents waiting.I went through one file, trying to read the figures carefully, but I wasn’t focused.My mind kept returning to the restaurant.To her.I hadn’t expected to
