Leopold POV“What are you doing here?” I hissed low as Amanda casually stood on Serena's porch. I couldn't tear my eyes away from Serena, who remained silent in her friend's arms.“I had to come here because it was so hard for me to contact you,” Amanda replied with a lopsided smile, invoking a strong desire to beat her up. Regret grew in my chest. How could I have ever fallen in love with this witch?“Can you two please leave our house? Our friend is not well, and it would be rude to make a drama here,” said the charcoal-haired woman who rose from her seat. Her gaze was sharp, reflecting the boredom of seeing the argument between Amanda and me.I glanced at Serena, looking for support, or at least understanding. However, Serena was silent. Everything felt chaotic in my head. “Sorry, I came for my girlfriend.”“Serena is not in good condition. Go home and take your woman away!”I sighed heavily. “That's why I wanted to calm Serena down.”“Go home, sir,” Serena cooed. I exhaled, walked

Serena POV I stared at the bedroom window with empty eyes, letting the twilight shadows play colors in the sky. Love shouldn't have grown between us in a relationship that was just floating aimlessly. I didn't blame Leopold because I had already trapped myself in the maze of false happiness called love. And I was a fool for hoping he would love me back. Why was I so naïve? “Serena, you really have no shame,” my regretful words pierced into the silence of the room. Never having a father figure in my life, I kept looking for a substitute for happiness in someone else. All my ex-boyfriends were much older than me. The first one was ten years older, and the last one was eight years older. I never liked being in relationships with younger men. I had always clung to the need for affection, but they could not fulfill it. They focused too much on their careers; unlike older men, they are calmer because they have gone through the pioneering phase of their careers. “Serena!” The stern vo

Serena POV “Honey, let's go home together,” Leopold said in a soft but firm voice. I quickly closed the tab I was holding when Leopold entered my study. His stony gaze immediately pierced me, glaring at the tab I was hiding. My heart was racing. Had he had noticed my actions? “Oh, yeah. Maybe it's time to go home,” I replied, trying to smile despite the uncomfortable feeling starting to creep into my heart. Leopold's face took on a hard look, sending waves of tension around me. Suddenly, Leopold snatched the tab from my grasp and slid it into the drawer. I gasped as his piercing eyes seemed to penetrate my soul. The silence that enveloped us sent chills down my spine. Would he be angry? “Is something wrong?” I asked, my voice shaky as I tried to get closer to him. Leopold gripped my shoulders, his gaze intimidating. His normally sparkling blue eyes now radiated darkness. “Did you find anything inside that tab?” I nodded slowly, feeling guilty. “I'm sorry, sir. I didn't mean

Leopold POVI thought my life would stop spinning after divorcing Amanda. The sincere love I had was one hundred percent given to my ex-wife, who played with our marriage vows. As much of a jerk as I've been in the past, I'm just a man hoping for one sincere woman who will be the mother of my children.The old Leopold thought that young women only brought terrible moments, were annoying, and were noisy. However, the presence of one very noisy young lady changed my life.I laughed at the fate of my life. It's like I got instant karma for judging something that wasn't clear and ended up happening to me.Serena Voss. I couldn't believe this chatty woman with a burning passion would change my future. Her wild demeanor was the strongest attraction. Not only does she have a smart brain, but her empathy for her fellow human beings is also high.She was born into a dysfunctional family. Her father was stubborn, and her stepmother never considered Serena, so the environment forced her to grow

Serena POVEver since I moved into Leopold's penthouse, I didn't know how my friends at the rental house were doing. We were so busy with our respective jobs that we forgot to exchange news. We used to be equally busy, but we could still spend time together on weekends.Now my life has changed. I'm no longer Serena, who can go anywhere freely, because I'm carrying a precious life. I'm pregnant.Likewise, I never get tired of staring at my reflection in the mirror. My stomach is still flat. The gynecologist said my condition was normal because I was only seven weeks pregnant.“Hello, sunshine. This is mommy, baby.” I pulled the hem of my t-shirt up and stroked my belly, trying to feel the life inside. My heart warmed, my heart racing every time the image of a baby's smile crossed my mind.“Babe, I'm home.” The heavy voice of the man I loved filled the room. I twisted around to find Leopold walking with sluggish steps toward me. I chuckled as my big man hugged me tightly and hid his f
