Shattered Vows: Silent Revenge. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 141 - チャプター 150

Adrien’s POVWe rode the elevator quietly.The only sound came from Theodore’s soft sniffles in her arms. Serena leaned beside me, her head resting against my arm. Her fingers kept tracing small circles on Theodore’s hand like she was afraid to let go.I tightened my hands every time she looked at him, every time she smiled through those trembling lips, something sharp twisted in my chest. It wasn’t anger, just...jealousy. Quiet, ridiculous jealousy that I couldn’t shake.When we finally arrived at her office, Theodore had fallen asleep on her shoulder. I got out quickly and opened her door. She tried to lift him, but I stepped in.“Let me,” I said gently.Her eyes met mine, soft and tired. She nodded.The boy was light, too light. His small hands clung unconsciously to my shirt as I carried him inside. For a moment, something strange tugged at me. Maybe guilt. Maybe the thought that I was carrying the son of the man I wanted to destroy.I laid him carefully on the couch in the inner

Killian’s POVThe dim glow from the desk lamp flickered weakly across the stacks of untouched files scattered before me. My head rested heavily against my arm, exhaustion blurring the edges of my thoughts. Sleep had come unwillingly, and yet when it did, it dragged me into dreams that were anything but restful dreams filled with Serena’s voice, her eyes, the look of disgust when she turned away from me earlier today.I stirred, a soft creak echoing from the door. My heartbeat jumped. Even half-asleep, my senses sharpened. The faint scent of perfume, sweet, familiar drifted in. My lips parted before my mind could catch up.“Serena? I muttered hoarsely, straightening in my chair. My heart lurched in my chest as I blinked through the haze.But the moment my eyes adjusted, reality hit like a brick. It wasn’t Serena.It was Samantha.My expression darkened instantly. The fatigue in my body was replaced by a wave of irritation and anger so sharp it sobered me completely.“What the hell are

Serena’s POVThe door clicked softly after Adrien left, and for a long moment, I just sat there, still feeling the warmth of his lips on my cheek.The room was quiet except for the steady rhythm of Theodore’s breathing as he slept beside me, his small fingers curled around the stuffed bear. I brushed my thumb across his knuckles, trying to steady my own racing pulse.Adrien had always been gentle, patient even when his temper flared beneath the surface, it never spilled out as cruelty. But today, I saw something new in him. That hint of jealousy, the flicker of frustration in his eyes when he mentioned Killian.And somehow, it scared me and comforted me at the same time.I leaned back against the couch, exhaling shakily. “Why does everything still feel so heavy?” I whispered to no one.My chest tightened as memories returned, Killian’s voice breaking when he said he was tired, his desperate eyes, the smell of alcohol on his breath when he tried to drag me to his car.And then Theodore

Serena’s POVThe afternoon light filtered through the sheer curtains, painting soft patterns across the living room floor. Reminding me weeks had gone by. Theodore was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, humming as he drew little stick figures on his sketchpad.He’d drawn three of them, a woman with long hair, a tall man with glasses, and a small boy holding both their hands.I swallowed hard. “Who’s that?” I asked gently, sitting beside him.He grinned. “You, me, and Uncle Adrien.”Something in my chest twisted. I brushed his hair back and forced a smile. “You’re getting good at this.”He nodded proudly. “When can we all go to the park again? Like last time?”I smiled faintly. “Soon, baby. Maybe this weekend.”Just then, my phone buzzed on the coffee table.I reached for it, a message.From: Unknown> He’s falling apart without you, Serena. Don’t let him destroy himself completely.My heart froze. I didn’t need a name to know who had sent it. Samantha.My breath hitched. Why now?I d

Serena’s POVMy hand trembled as I stared at the message glowing on my phone screen.>You think he’s a monster? Wait until you see what Adrien’s hiding.The words looped in my mind like poison, sharp and suffocating. My chest tightened, and I swallowed hard, trying to breathe through the sudden wave of panic that rushed over me.“Serena?” Adrien’s voice broke the silence, firm but worried. “What’s wrong?”I quickly locked my phone, tucking it into my purse. “It’s nothing,” I said too quickly.He frowned. “You don’t lie well.”“I’m not lying,” I whispered, but the words came out hollow. I wasn’t sure if I was trying to convince him, or myself.He stepped closer, searching my face.“What is it?” he asked.I looked up slowly, the fear returning to my voice. “Adrien, I think Samantha just started something new.” I exhaled. “Can we just go somewhere quiet? Please?”We ended up at the small café across from his building, tucked into a corner booth where no one could overhear us. I wrapped m
