Serena leaned against the seat of the cab, staring out the window as the city blurred past her. The morning sun was bright, casting golden rays over the streets of Arizona. But inside, she felt anything but warm.Her thoughts swirled with everything that had happened last night. Bianca. Nathan. The ball. The fact that she had almost been humiliated beyond repair.She clenched her fists in her lap.How could she have been so blind?She had trusted Bianca, considered her a friend, and yet, Bianca had been plotting against her all this time. And worst of all, it was all because of Nathan.Serena shook her head. She didn’t even want to think about him.The cab slowed to a stop in front of her apartment complex. She paid the driver and stepped out, walking quickly inside. The second she entered her bedroom, she shut the door and leaned against it, exhaling deeply.Finally alone, the weight of everything settled over her like a thick fog.Bianca had been pretending all along. How long

Kate reclined on her couch, her phone pressed to her ear as she laughed. Her eyes gleamed with satisfaction as she spoke.“Rolly, you should’ve seen Serena’s face last night at the ball. I called her a slut right in front of everyone. I told them how she slept her way to the top, and do you know what? She just stood there like a fool! She didn’t even defend herself!”On the other end, Rolly sighed. “Kate…”“She just stood there, looking pathetic,” Kate continued, flipping her long hair over her shoulder. “Not a single word! I made sure everyone at that party knew what kind of woman she really is. It was humiliating for her!”“Kate,” Rolly cut in, “that’s actually why I called you.”Kate frowned. “Huh? What do you mean?”Rolly hesitated before saying, “I came across a video of what happened last night.”Kate’s lips curled into a smirk. “Oh? You saw how I completely destroyed her, right? I made sure everyone made mockery of her. If she isn’t a slut, how the hell did she suddenly own a

Ryan sat alone in his office, staring at the pile of paperwork scattered across his desk. The dim light from the desk lamp cast long shadows on the walls, but his mind wasn’t focused on work. He leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples, feeling a strange emptiness.Suddenly, it hit him—he hadn’t heard from Amy since he got back from Paris. Guilt washed over him like a wave.“I should’ve checked on her sooner,” he muttered under his breath.Glancing at the clock, he realized it was already late evening. Serena must’ve been home with Amy by now. The thought of going to Serena’s place crossed his mind, but he quickly shook it off.“She’ll just get annoyed if I show up unannounced,” he sighed.Instead, he picked up his phone and dialed Serena’s number. It rang twice, then stopped. He frowned and called again. This time, it rang longer before someone answered.But it wasn’t Serena’s voice on the other end. It pained him, realizing Serena obviously didn’t want to speak to him. But

Ryan stormed into his office, slamming the door with such force that the glass panel rattled. His chest heaved with rage, his face twisted with frustration. Jefferson, his loyal assistant, flinched as the door nearly hit his face. He stood there for a moment, stunned, trying to gather the courage to follow Ryan inside.After a deep breath, Jefferson slowly pushed the door open, peeking in cautiously. His eyes widened at the chaos before him. Ryan was throwing everything in sight—files, paperweights, even his laptop crashed to the floor with a loud thud.“Sir…” Jefferson began softly, stepping in fully, shutting the door behind him. “Please, calm down.”But Ryan didn’t even glance his way. His face was red, his eyes wild with fury as he kicked a chair across the room.“Sir, please. You’re—”“SHUT UP, JEFFERSON!” Ryan roared, his voice echoing through the room. He grabbed a stack of papers from his desk and threw them against the wall. “JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!”Jefferson swallowed h

After Steve left, Serena stood by the door for a while, staring at the empty space. His words lingered in her mind—“You’re not alone.” But it didn’t feel that way.She shook her head, pushing the thought aside. She had things to do. She couldn’t let the scandal control her life.“Amy,” Serena called softly, walking towards her daughter’s room.Amy was playing with her stuffed bunny, her small face lighting up when she saw her mother. “Mommy!”Serena forced a smile. “Come on, sweetheart. We’re going out.”Amy’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Where are we going?”“To Mommy’s office.”Amy jumped up eagerly. “Yay! I get to see Aunt Emma!”Serena chuckled softly, the sound feeling strange on her lips. It had been a while since she laughed without forcing it.After getting both of them ready, Serena grabbed her car keys and headed out. She dressed in a sleek black dress, paired with simple heels, her hair pulled into a neat bun. She had dark circles under her eyes, but makeup helped cov
