CHAPTER 81

SERENA’S POV“Yeah, nice to see you again.” Lily joined, plastering a fake smile. “Last we saw you was at the gathering. You just… disappeared.”“Or ran off you mean?” Another joined. This time, the queen of them all. Susan, their mom and my father’s legal wife. “She just ran off after we arrived! You would think she was avoiding us or something, but now I know better. Now we ‘all’ know better.” She spat, taking her seat on the cream and gold single couch not too far from the ones her daughters occupied.“Mom please, we all don’t know anything.” Isabella drawled, smiling. “Serena has to tell us, right Serena?” I let my eyes flicker to her. No words coming out. Just a breath as I lifted the tea mug I was served, to my lips. All of them watching me.The sneering sisters on my right, occupying a wide seated couch. Their mom not too far. My own mom to my left, occupying a similar couch as the sneering sisters and directly facing them too.Then at the head, in between these couches sat ano

CHAPTER 82

SERENA'S POVI paused. Heart pounding hard in my chest, from all the talking back and adrenaline no doubt. It was a first for me. “Why fashion, Mrs. Beckett?” He asked again. Calm. Steady. Mocking.He never seemed to want to call me by my name ever since the wedding. Like it was a constant reminder, to both himself and I. He had achieved his goal, and I was to remain grounded in it. Play my role and inflate his ego as well. How fatherly of him.“Because it’s what I want.” I responded, turning back to him. “It’s my choice. Fashion.”“And what about our choice?” Issabella cut in, obnoxious as ever. “What about what we want and how ‘your choice’ is affecting us? We’re been laughed at online, Serena this isn’t funny. We’re been dragged for this stupid new hobby you call a career.”“And what will happen if you defend me?” I questioned, staring at them. “What will be so wrong if you all defend and stand by me? Stand like the fucking family you all keep shouting about. You think the press an

CHAPTER 83

SERENA'S POVAnd for a full 3 minutes we stayed like that. Under the sun. The burning sun. Since when did the morning sun hurt so much? I had no idea.But I figured it must not be liking how the day is starting, just as I wasn’t.Regardless, after that I allowed myself slowly get led to Axel’s car. “I’ll take you home,” he said, closing the door after I got in. My eyes following him as he rounded to his own side.Sweet.But when our eyes met, I said the first thing that came to mind. “How are you in all white?”“For peace,” he smirked, putting his seatbelts on. I arched an eyebrow. “White symbolizes peace." He explained easily, "I'd wanted to come get you, so I chose it to wear white.”“You knew I’d be here today?”“Figured.” He shrugged, “The blogs drama, yesterday, this morning… knowing your mom and people that live in there…” I rolled my eyes, “I knew you’d be here. Knew it wouldn’t be good either, wouldn’t end well. So, I decided to be your personal guidian angel!”I scoffed, ches

CHAPTER 84

SERENA'S POV“It’s possible,” Axel shrugged, looking to me and then to him. My throat tightening as i tried to force myself calm.“Hmm, well I am getting old.” The man muttered, “Age finally catching up, huh? But no matter what, I’ll still remember my customers! Especially ones that go behind trees with extras just to avoid sharing.”He winked at me. A laugh leaving my lips as I realized just who he was referring to.Me.“I didn’t do that, did i?” I laughed,“You did even worse things than that, Princess B." Axel retorted, scoffing. "Things like stubbornly placing your extras in my own take home bag, and then claiming my bag right after you get home! Just so you can have both mine and yours, selfish.”“What? No way!” I disagreed, chuckling at the absurdity of those statements. “It’s all true.” The old man cut in, “This little rascal won’t let me hear the end of it the next time you two come over.”"Mommy's boy, much?"“Congratulations to you both though. You truly suit each other.” M

CHAPTER 85

ELIOT’S POVI used to pride myself on one thing; control.Over my life first, and then my business. Both of which run perfectly engineered on separate lanes. No scandals, no gossip, no news and most definitely not blogs having a field day with matters relating to me.Not many could pull that off. Not in this industry.I shaped the news, the narratives, controlled buzz, nothing lived beyond what I permitted. Not unless I want them to. But all of that was until last night.Last night… Serena… and the stupid ass stunt she got herself involved in! “987k engagements,” I gritted, the figure like a slap in the face. “987k from just last night and to this moment. We’re looking at a million soon. A million, a fucking million.” I just drowned my glass then. It’s burning taste in my throat providing a much needed relief given all the cleaning up I’ve had to do all morning.It was currently noon now. The sun reflecting through the floor to ceiling glass windows, casting off a shadow behind me as

CHAPTER 86

ELIOT'S POVThe earlier taste of my scotch now felt like drops of acid down my throat. Burning raw, bitter and utterly disgusting with every passing second. “Sir,” John started. Cautious. “Sir, what are we to do about all this? How do we handle-“Let it be,” I growled, eyes not leaving the screen. Fuming. “Sir?”“I said let it be, John. Let them fucking say whatever the hell they want!”My voice echoed everywhere. Rage coursing through my veins and John understood that. “Yes, Sir,” he left no moment less. Leaving me in the silence. With my screen. With the disgust that came with those very pictures. And as if that wasn’t enough, my intercom buzzed.“Sir, you have a call; Fountaine Group,” My features darkened automatically. Eyes narrowing with malice stirring at the thought of having to speak with the very reason for all of this mess; Cecilia Vale.“How did you like my gift, Beckett?” her voice smudged through. Prideful in every way.“You did this,” I spat.“Did what? Show the world an

CHAPTER 87

ELIOT'S POV “These damn losers…” I muttered, clicking them open. “What do they even know? What do they think they know to be dropping so much comments and speculations?” “@wordwitch This blog is giving ‘final straw’ energy. Love it!!” “@NoSoftness I can already feel the divorce coming. A real expensive divorce! And to think this is all real… oh I can’t wait to be in the know of which wealthy family this is!” My pulse quickened just then. Fists tensed, as I forced myself not to think about what those words stirred in my head. “@Idontcare Does the husband not think about all his doing? I mean this lady is his wife. How can he not see all this pain she’s bearing?” “@Milicent @Idontcare, How can he possibly see her pains, when he doesn’t even know his wife? I bet he doesn’t even know her favorite color. Scumbag! Please upload more often.” What? That’s- “@sweetpills Imagine the husband reading all of this… how will he even react?” Exactly! How would he react? Just reading it

CHAPTER 88

ELIOT'S POV “Hello, Eli baby!” the chirpy voice sounded through. My eyebrows knitting together from both distaste and confusion. “May,” “Yeah, its me!” she giggled, “How are you, Eli? You- “What do you want?” I cut her off, not needing this conversation to go on more than necessary. “I told you to only contact me during emergencies. Is this an emergency?” “Err… no. But Eli- “Goodbye then,” I moved to end the call, but then, “No! Hold on, please!” her voice cried out. Unintentionally loud. Making me pause. “You didn’t come last night.” She started, voice teary. “I… I waited for you, I was worried about you, Eli. Why didn’t you call?” I had wanted to just end the call right then, but I noticed there were shuffles around. Voices murmuring in the background. “She’s playing the act again,” I muttered, already tired before it even began. But did we even need to continue this? Serena already got the point by now, what was the need? “Will you come home early this time, Eli?

CHAPTER 89

SERENA’S POV “Have you seen it?” “Did you see it? Have you seen it, Axel?!” “Calm down, will you? I’m just coming from your socials now.” He chuckled lightheartedly, “Calm?” I repeated, smiling. “I cannot be calm, I cannot! I’m everywhere, Axel. Everywhere! The blogs, the news, the hashtags… “Social media?” “The freaking social media!” I couldn’t even hold back a squeal at this point. My voice high pitched and full of excitement as I rolled all over my bed. Hair a nasty mess in no time. “I’m trending! I am trending, can you believe it?” “I cannot!” he chuckled, “This is… this is massive, Rena. Real massive, look at you on your page! You posted one of your pictures. Look at you coming out of your shell, huh? Where is little miss shy now?” I laughed, loud and delighted. “She is long gone! I’ll tell you that for free.” “I wonder what your mom is going to say about this, those people in living in that house too.” “What? I don’t care about that.” I sat up, serious. “I don’t care a

CHAPTER 90

SERENA’S POV “Are you serious? We have orders online too? Not just these posts?” I nodded, smiling at her excited eyes. “I have to make new dresses,” she gasped, “We have to make stitches and- are you really sure about this, madam?” “Of course, I’m sure!” I laughed, “I’m very sure, you can see the messages too. It’s all real.” “Wow,” she breathed, eyes on my iPad that I gave her. “They’re so many… so many messages. This is … this is a miracle! My prayers worked.” “Yeah they did,” I took a glass, sipping as I watched her. “I wish I prayed too. Maybe we would’ve gotten much more than we have right now.” I remember saying there was no need for the prayers that night, but Mae joined the contestants all the same. Glad she did. “Prayers or no prayers…” Axel cut in, holding up his glass. “Can we toast to this evening, now? You ladies have me on chokehold waiting for you all to finish talking before we dive into this magnificent dessert sitting here.” My eyes went to the cake- the mag
