* 2nd * Chapter 251 : Who did you sleep with while I was gone those five years?

Alexander slipped into his impeccably tailored suit like a soldier donning armor before war. Each button he fastened seemed to echo with purpose, deliberate and cold, his movements sharp as a blade. His eyes, dark and unyielding, glinted with a dangerous calm as he called out,“Serena?”His voice rolled through the room like a spell, commanding and impossible to ignore.Serena froze, her breath catching, spine stiff. She didn’t even dare glance at him, too rattled by the chill in his tone.Alexander’s gaze shifted, first to Alexei—who looked perfectly calm, as though the drama unfolding was nothing but a dull spectacle—then to Lucca, who seemed just as unbothered. A surge of betrayal crawled up Alexander’s spine. So everyone had known the truth. Everyone except him.Wonderful.A slow, poisonous anger coiled in his chest, ready to burst. But he reined it in, standing there statuesque, an unreadable mask on his face, as memories flooded back in sharp, humiliating flashes.He’d returned t

* 2nd * Chapter 252 : No matter if she’s right or wrong.

“I’ll make it up to you,” Alexander murmured, his lashes trembling as he pushed open the car door beside him. “Go home. Get some proper rest tonight. If there’s ever something you can’t handle, come talk to me.”Serena was caught off guard. She had braced herself for him to explode, to tear into her with a rage that would leave her in pieces. Instead, she saw a fragile softness in his eyes, something almost foreign to her.She stepped out of the car with hesitant movements, but before she could fully straighten up, Alexander’s arms circled her waist, pulling her back against him. His head dropped to her shoulder, heavy and warm, the scent of his cologne mixing with the cool night air.His voice, thick and edged with a pleading note, brushed against her ear. “Stay away from those people. I’ll make it worth your while.”“Mr. Vanderbilt,” Serena managed, trying to keep her voice steady, “I have nothing to do with them.”His forehead pressed more firmly into her shoulder, as if he needed t

* 2nd * Chapter 253 : What’s the story with you and Ava?

The next morning, Serena headed straight to E.A. Corporation.As soon as she stepped into her bright, modern office, her footsteps froze. Someone was already inside — sitting calmly in her chair. Alexander Vanderbilt.For a brief moment, she wondered if she was seeing things. Then reality struck: he’d found out about her true identity, and with Alexander’s resources, of course he would have dug deeper.He was lounging back in the chair like he owned the place, reviewing a thick contract folder, his crisp white shirt unbuttoned at the collar as though he had all the time in the world.So this is where she works now? Alexander mused, scanning the framed photos on her shelves, the scent of fresh coffee still lingering in the air.She had turned the Morales family’s crumbling company around almost single-handedly, now even venturing boldly into the film industry. Hugo’s screenplay had become a hit, and their current production was pulling in rave reviews.When she entered, Alexander finall

* 2nd * Chapter 254 : Suit yourself.

Whatever. I’ll win her back sooner or later, Alexander thought with arrogant certainty, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.He flicked his gaze toward the stack of documents on his desk, his voice sharp and commanding. “From now on, don’t even think about contacting her.”Liam stood there awkwardly, lips parted as if to speak, but no words came. The weight of Alexander’s tone pinned him in place. A beat later, he gave a stiff nod and backed out of the office, the door clicking shut behind him.Alone now, Alexander leaned back in his leather chair, his expression darkening as his thoughts unraveled.Alexei. Richard. And that damn actor—Austin.His jaw clenched.Why the hell are there so many men around her?The more he thought about it, the more the rage simmered beneath his skin. Not long ago, he had been her husband—her only man. Now, it felt like he had to queue up just to earn a sliver of her attention. The indignity of it grated at him.And Alexei—Alexander was convinced tha

* 2nd * Chapter 255 : But aren’t you two engaged?

Alexander moved first, disappearing around the corner with a flick of his eyes—quick, calculated. His gaze lingered just long enough to catch Serena behind him.She didn’t follow.Instead, she said something softly to Simon and gave him a small, discreet wave to go ahead. No dramatics, no hesitation.Simon nodded, adjusted the cuff of his blazer, and turned the opposite way with her.As they walked off, Alexander’s jaw tightened. A muscle in his cheek twitched, betraying his restraint. He stood still, lips pressed thin, eyes locked on the empty hallway until their footsteps faded.Outside, Serena and Simon stepped into the crisp night air, leaving the heady din of Broadway Bar behind them. The city buzzed around them—horns in the distance, neon lights bouncing off wet pavement. They walked in silence for a bit before ducking into a quiet, artsy café tucked between a used bookstore and a flower shop.The café had an old-soul charm—warm amber lighting, mismatched wooden chairs, and the s

* 2nd * Chapter 256 : I’ll marry her again.

"Marilyn!" Serena rushed forward, catching her just as she stumbled. Mikhail was right behind, steadying her other side with a firm hand.Marilyn’s mind was a blur—static noise, white-hot and blinding. She couldn’t think, couldn’t breathe, couldn’t feel anything beyond the numbness sinking deep into her bones.They managed to get her into a hospital room. A nurse handed her a small bottle of sweet glucose water, and Serena gently helped tip it to her lips. Colors swirled around her field of vision like a kaleidoscope—too bright, too fast.The doctor stood at the bedside, clipboard in hand. “Her blood sugar dipped a bit, likely brought on by emotional shock. Nothing serious. What she needs now is rest, both physically and mentally.”Serena nodded silently, her gaze fixed on Marilyn, who sat pale and quiet against the starched white sheets. Her usually bright eyes were flat now, drained of their usual sparkle.Seven years.Seven years of love, trust, and promises—shattered in a heartbea

* 2nd * Chapter 257 : Why are you looking for Serena?

Cornelius let out a cold, derisive laugh. “So this is how it ends? I boasted to Serena about how outstanding you were, and what did it amount to? She still turned you down.”His words were sharp, each one slicing through Alexander’s composure like a blade. Alexander’s jaw tightened, a flicker of pain crossing his features. He forced himself to remain calm.“Grandpa,” he said slowly, “don’t you want Serena to be your granddaughter-in-law too?”Cornelius let out a scoff, this one harsher than the last. “I’m not the one forcing her. If you can’t win her back, then don’t waste my time—and don’t interrupt my meal.”The dismissal was absolute. No affection, no encouragement—just cold finality.Alexander stood, his posture rigid. He picked up the painting he had personally arranged to be delivered as a gift, ready to leave with it. But before he could step out the door, Cornelius slammed the floor with his cane.The sharp crack echoed through the room.Alexander paused, then silently set the

* 2nd * Chapter 258 : I’ll give it everything I’ve got.

Whitney nearly dropped her phone.Her heart slammed in her chest as she stared at the message on her screen. Just five minutes ago, she had been trashing this exact person using a burner account—and now Serena was messaging her directly?Did she know? Could Serena somehow have figured out it was her behind those nasty posts?No... no way. That would be impossible.Then she looked again.Serena:Whitney, hey. I'm here to invite you to sign with E.A. Corporation.Whitney exhaled in pure relief. So it wasn't about the gossip. They were trying to poach her.Instantly, her panic gave way to smug satisfaction, and she slid into full diva mode.Whitney: Sorry, I’m currently the lead in a major TV drama. My schedule’s packed. Plus, my performance’s pretty phenomenal—maybe even award-worthy. I probably won’t have time to meet.She hit send and leaned back, smiling like a cat who just knocked something off a shelf. Sure, she said she was too busy—but her message practically screamed come chase

* 2nd * Chapter 259 : I don’t need your twisted version of love

Marilyn lounged on the couch, legs crossed, a faint smirk tugging at her lips. Her eyes were calm, almost too calm, like a storm gathering in silence. “Vincent,” she began coolly, “you’ve always had more book smarts than me. I used to think I wasn’t good enough for you. But now? I think you’re not good enough for me. So I’m calling off the engagement.”The words hit Vincent like a punch to the gut.He’d always been proud of his degree from NYU, often tossing it into conversations like a trophy. Meanwhile, Marilyn had graduated from a less prestigious college—nothing flashy, just solid. In his mind, that had always put him a step above her. And yet here she was, dismissing him like he wasn’t even worth the conversation.He didn’t take a moment to reflect on his own cheating. Instead, his lips twisted into a sneer. “So that’s it? Found someone better already, Marilyn? Never figured you for that kind of woman.”Classic deflection—when guilty, accuse the other party first.But Marilyn fel

* 2nd * Chapter 260 : What kind of trouble this time?

Serena was on her way to the office when her car slowed near a gas station. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a hunched figure crawling across the pavement—filthy, ragged, dragging one mangled leg behind him. The sight made her instinctively tap the brakes.Even from inside her car, she could almost smell the pungent odor of sweat, dirt, and decay that clung to him like a second skin. His clothes were tattered and soaked in grime. The leg he dragged behind him was grotesquely swollen, and the foot—what was left of it—looked like it had been crudely severed. Infection had set in, oozing through the open wound.Serena reached for her wallet, flipping through it quickly. She had just two hundred dollars in cash. Not much, but better than nothing. She gestured to the gas station attendant to fill up her tank, then stepped out of the car and walked toward the man.She crouched and placed the folded bills on the ground near him.But just as she began to stand, she heard a raspy whis
