All Chapters of Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Serena's POVI set my glass down and looked at him squarely.“Felix,” I began gently, “I know things didn’t end the way you wanted. But I never cheated on you. I never disrespected you. I just told you I couldn’t continue because… I was into someone else. I was honest with you.”He exhaled, smiling without humor. “And that’s exactly what made it worse.”I blinked. “Worse?”He leaned forward, elbows on the table, swirling his wine slowly. “If you’d cheated on me, at least I’d have had something to hate you for. I could’ve written you off as cruel or disloyal. But you didn’t give me that. You just… left. Clean, quiet. No screaming. No closure.”I didn’t know what to say to that.“All I was left with,” he continued, eyes locked on mine, “were the memories. All the good ones. Playing in the rain that time in first year, our inside jokes, that tiny apartment in Brooklyn we stayed in for a weekend, those moments played in my head. You didn’t break my heart violently, Serena. You let it blee

Serena's POVDamien finally looked at him, one eyebrow raised. “Ex-boyfriend, huh?”Felix stood slowly, deliberately. “Yeah. Problem?”Oh no.I got up so fast I knocked my chair back a little. “Okay! No. Nope. We’re not doing this. This isn’t some stupid pissing contest.”“She talks about you a lot,” Damien cut in, smirking at Felix.Oh my God.“Wow, seriously?” I shot Damien a look.Felix stepped closer, and even though he was smiling, it wasn’t a nice one. “Maybe because I made an impression.”I groaned. “Are you two going to fight over me in the middle of a freaking hotel bar? Should I throw down a glove or something?”Sophia, ever helpful, raised her glass. “You two should fight for her. Winner gets Serena, loser gets me.”“Girl,” I hissed. “Shut up.”She giggled, then flopped back on the table. “I’m kidding. Kind of.”"You don't know this dude, Serena," Felix warned, "He was sleeping with my fiance." I froze, Sophia's eyes widened in surprise.I thought they were going to fight

Serena's POVI couldn’t even remember falling asleep, let alone knowing when he came to the bed beside me.My heart thumped loudly in my chest as I stared at him.I sat on the bed for a second, confused and breathing hard.Did we…?I didn’t think so.But why didn’t Damien take me back to my room? Why did he leave me here?I looked down at my body, slowly checking for any sign that something intimate happened. But I couldn’t tell. My underwear was still on. My clothes didn’t feel out of place. A doom settled in my chest, like a weighty discomfort.Carefully rising, my legs felt a little heavy and sleepy, and perhaps, just a little intoxicated.I walked on tiptoe toward the door and slipped out, the door knob still warming up in my palm. I was not ready to face Damien, not even ready to accept the truth on what had transpired between us last night should it be the one I dreaded.On entering my room, I froze.Sophia was already there, arms folded, hair all messed up, looking into one e

Serena's POVShe scowled, a flicker of curiosity in her eyes. "Do you think it has something to do with last night? Maybe because I embarrassed myself. Oh God, do you think he's going to ban us from the hotel?"I smiled quietly. "I don't think so. He was not upset when he stood you up. In fact, he was very calm."Sophia groaned, covering her face. "Ugh, I kissed Damien and then passed out in front of the hotel owner."I smiled, "No you didn't kiss Damien until we were inside. Mr Kyle had no knowledge of the kiss, unless you decide to tell him.""Fucking fuck you," she playfully teased and I laughed.We finished the rest of our meal in silence, our mouths shut as if to talk would take away from us enjoying the most expensive meal we have ever had in our entire lifetime.Sophia yawned and looked over at me. "So, what do you think he wants?"I put down my phone. "Who?""Mr. Kyle. The owner of the hotel," she remarked, raising an eyebrow. "You got a call that he needs to see you. Don't te

Serena's POVMy hands trembled a little as I stared at the note. I was sure it was from Alexander. Only he would write something so cryptic and dramatic.But then I turned the envelope over again, checking the tiny handwriting I’d missed before.Felix.I took a slow breath and leaned back into the couch. "It's not Alexander," I said to her.Sophia raised an eyebrow. "Then who?""Felix," I growled."Oh," she said, and leaned back again. "Your first love just sent you a mystery letter out of the blue in the middle of a hotel stay. How adorable.""He just wants to get back together or whatever," I muttered, pushing the letter onto the table like it suddenly bores me.Sophia cried out in a sudden laugh. "Girl, that is not even a love triangle anymore. That is a whole damn love square."I flinched. "Please don't.""No, let's break this down," she said, tap-tapping her fingers. "Alexander still has the crush on you, Damien has the crush on you, Kyle just asked you out, and now Felix is retu
