เข้าสู่ระบบSerena's Point of View“That was the first time I ever saw my mother beg my father.”Adrian's voice trembled.I took a deep breath.Rowen hadn't brought Michela home.But just knowing that he had cheated on me with her for two years... how heartbroken had I been?How scared had I felt when I found out a little life was growing inside me when I was about to lose the man I loved?How painful had it been to even think that my baby would have to grow up in an incomplete family and there was nothing I could do to change it?So what kind of heartbreak must Adrian's mom have felt?How terrified must she have been when that man brought his mistress and her child into the place she called home?“My mom cried and begged him to send them away...”His breathing became uneven.“She said, ‘This is my home. Mine and Adrian's. Please. Anywhere but here.’”A tear slipped from the corner of his eye.And that single tear was more painful than all the words he had said since I came here.It clearly showe
Serena’s Point of View“My mother wasn't just a beautiful and kind woman...”I looked at him.His head was leaning against the sofa, and his eyes were fixed on the photograph.“She was incredibly smart.”Something changed in his expression.Beyond the grief filling his eyes, there was suddenly pride.So much pride.“She was one of the most powerful female CEOs of her time.”My gaze instantly shifted to the beautiful woman in the photo.“She built Henrix Properties entirely by herself. Not just that, she was the mastermind behind most of the Henrix Group of companies.”My finger slowly traced the edges of the photograph.“She had power, wealth, education... everything.”A bitter smile touched his lips.“Everything people think guarantees happiness.”His eyes slowly closed again.“I think she was happy too. But one day, something happened that turned our lives completely upside down.”My heart tightened.“One day, a pregnant woman appeared outside our house.”His jaw clenched.“I was ei
Serena’s Point of ViewAdrian was there.But...For a moment, I could barely recognize the man staring at me.I had seen Adrian in many ways.In perfectly tailored suits.In casual, comfortable clothes.Calm...Angry...Heartbroken...Still...But I had never seen him like this.He was wearing a white shirt, but most of the buttons were undone, exposing his chest.Adrian never stayed like this.Even when he had practically lived in my apartment for weeks, I had never seen his shirt carelessly unbuttoned, even when he was exhausted and lying on my sofa.His usually perfect hair was a complete mess.And his eyes...Those beautiful green eyes had turned red.So terribly red.The entire living room was filled with the smell of alcohol.My eyes shifted from him to the sofa area, where empty bottles and glasses were carelessly scattered around.My heart sank.How much had he actually drunk?"Adrian..."I barely managed to say his name when he walked toward me.No.Not walked.He almost stum
Serena’s Point of ViewThe day his mother died?For a moment, I was completely speechless.And then, almost instantly, a face appeared in my mind.A beautiful, goddess-like face.Madam Angela.Even after all these years, I could still remember the warmth of her smile.The way her presence brightened the gloomy orphanage in an instant.And then...I remembered that little boy.Our Angel Boy...Who would always cling to his mother.Holding his mother's hand tightly as if he were afraid she would leave him.Even as a child, I had noticed how his eyes shone whenever he looked at his mother.He had adored her...So much."Even though it's his birthday, he never celebrates it," Mr. Watson said quietly.My chest tightened.Of course he didn't.How could he?According to what the matron had told me that day, Adrian had never been particularly close to his father either.His mother must have been his entire world.How could he celebrate the day he was born when that same day had become the day
Serena’s Point of View“He’s on leave?”The question left my mouth before I could stop it.Mr. Watson glanced at me through the rearview mirror.“Yes.”I frowned.Not coming to the office was one thing.Sometimes he had important meetings to attend outside the office.Sometimes he had to travel far away from the city for work.But he had taken leave?That was strange.Really strange.Since the day I met Adrian...I had never known him to take a day off.Even when he stayed with me in my apartment, he wasn’t on leave. He was simply working from home.I let out a sigh.My mind wandered back to last night.The way he had played with his food distractedly.The way he had admitted there was something on his mind but hadn’t explained.Whatever was on his mind, it couldn’t be something simple.Otherwise...Adrian H
Serena’s Point of View“The entire Analytics Team Four will be moved temporarily to the executive floor,” Adrian announced.“What?”It was Ben who asked, even forgetting for a moment whom he was talking to.But Jack and I were equally surprised.“As you already know, our presentation to the business partners was an extreme success. So now, we’re going to expand the project.”He looked between the three of us.“The scope of the project is going to be much larger, and the deadlines will be tighter. The three of you alone can’t manage it, so I’ve decided to bring the entire Analytics Team Four onto the project.”“Really? Wow! That’s amazing.”Ben immediately high-fived Jack. He couldn’t hide his excitement.“So we’re all going to work on the executive floor?” Jack carefully asked the question that was already in my mind.Having three extra people working on the top floor was one
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
