Serena’s Pov“What are you doing?” I asked sharply as I heard the click of the lock behind me.Killian’s smirk grew wider, the kind of smirk that always meant trouble. “You wouldn’t have followed me here if I didn’t mention Theo,” he said, his voice sounding calm but cold. “I knew using our son’s name would work. You still have a soft spot for him, don’t you?”My brows furrowed. “Of course I do! He’s my son, Killian. Don’t twist things around.”He leaned against the door, crossing his arms like he was studying me. “Then why haven’t you come to visit him even once? What kind of mother stays away from her child for this long?”I clenched my fists, trying to control the tremor in my voice. “Don’t you dare make me feel guilty about that,” I snapped. “You know exactly why I didn’t come. Theo didn’t want to see me, remember? You made sure of that. You poisoned his mind against me!”Killian chuckled darkly and walked closer. “Poisoned his mind? No, Serena. I just told him the truth about

Serena’s PovI froze for a second, my pulse thundering in my ears as Killian’s hand gripped my wrist tightly. His breath was hot against my face, his eyes wild, and I could feel the anger vibrating off him.“Killian, let me go!” I yelled, struggling against his hold.But he didn’t listen to me. His strength overpowered mine as he tried to push me back onto the bed. I could feel the panic rising in my chest, my throat tightening.He was muttering something under his breath; something about how I made him this desperate, how I forced his hand. Goodness! His tone made my skin crawl.“Stop it! Stop this madness!” I screamed, twisting and trying to shove him off, but the more I struggled, the tighter his grip became.“You should never have embarrassed me like that, Serena!” he growled. “You think you can humiliate me in public and get away with it?”Tears stung my eyes out of rage. I pushed hard with all my strength, but he didn’t budge. His weight pressed down on me, and the feeling of be

Killian’s PovThat night, I drove aimlessly through the streets with no real destination in mind. My head was heavy, my heart even heavier. The humiliation of standing in that courtroom earlier in the day replayed in my mind over and over like a curse I couldn’t escape. Serena sat beside Adrien, looking calm and protected; it burned through me like fire.I gripped the steering wheel tight as anger filled my chest again. “Five hundred thousand dollars,” I muttered bitterly. “For emotional distress? What about what she did to me?”The city lights blurred past me. I didn’t even realize where I was headed until I saw the neon glow of a bar sign flashing in the distance. I slowed down, parked, and stepped out of the car. The night air was cool, but inside, the heat of the place hit me immediately; loud music, laughter, and the scent of alcohol mixing with perfume.I walked straight to the counter.“Whiskey,” I said to the bartender.He nodded and poured me a glass. I drank it down in one

Serena’s POV“Adrien, stop it,” I laughed softly, swatting at his hand as he tried to fix a loose strand of my hair. “You’re making a scene.”“I am not.” he murmured, smiling that lazy smile that still made my stomach flip. “But maybe it’ll make the interns realize love enhances focus.”I rolled my eyes, adjusting the files in my arms. “You sound like you’re selling a seminar.”He chuckled. “Only if you’ll be the case study.”We reached the glass doors of the company, our reflections side by side. I hadn’t realized how natural it looked now, his arm resting around my waist, my hand lightly pressed against his chest as we walked. The stares didn’t bother me. I even love it now.“You’re distracted,” he said quietly as we neared the lobby.“Just tired,” I replied, forcing a small smile. “It’s been a long week.”Adrien stopped walking, turning me gently toward him. “You sure it’s that?” His eyes searched mine, always too perceptive for comfort. “You’ve been distant since the last meeting.

Killian’s POVThe flowers dropped from my hand before I even realized it. Their petals scattered across the marble floor, crushed beneath my shoes as I stumbled forward.Serena’s scent still lingered, sweet, calm, and painfully familiar. But she is gone now. Again.Gone.....and holding his hand.Adrien.I wanted to hate the name, but I couldn’t even form the emotion properly. My chest felt like it had caved in, leaving a hollow space where my heart used to beat.The elevator doors had barely shut, yet the sound kept replaying in my head. That soft ding, followed by her fading perfume.And Theodore’s voice...“Mom, please don’t go!”My son’s voice.Those words cut deeper than any rejection she’d ever given me. Because this time, it wasn’t just her walking away, it was them.My family.I tried to move, but my knees weakened. My hand clutched at the wall for support as a wave of nausea and regret hit me all at once. People were watching, employees, secretaries, investors, I didn’t care.
