บททั้งหมดของ TO LOVE HIM AGAIN: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Adrian's POV Today is day one of the trial.My fingers dig into the steering wheel. The leather feels wet under my sweaty hands. I keep my eyes on the road, but I can feel the heaviness in the car pressing down on all of us.Nobody says anything. The engine hums. A car honks somewhere far away.I look in the rearview mirror. Sera sits in the back with Ezra curled up in her arms. His tiny fingers hold onto her shirt. She stares out the window, her eyes not blinking. Her skin is so pale it scares me. This morning at breakfast, I watched her push eggs around her plate. She doesn't eat a single bite.On the other side, Ivy has her phone up close to her face. She has earbuds in. Every few seconds, her lips curve into a smile. She looks so relaxed.I check the side mirror. My parent's black Mercedes stays right behin

Adrian's POV  The front door slams behind me as I step into the house. My entire body feels heavy, like someone strapped weights to my shoulders. I can barely keep my eyes open."Please take him," I say to one of the maids, practically shoving Ezra into her arms. "Feed him. Give him a bath."I don't wait for her response. My feet carry me down the hallway.The scene from the courtroom keeps replaying in my head, Ivy's face, the way she lied so confidently.My bedroom door appears in front of me, and I push it open. The second I'm inside, my fingers work on my shirt buttons. I need to get out of these clothes. They feel suffocating, like they're squeezing the air out of my lungs.The shirt hits the floor. Then my pants. My belt buckle clinks against the tiles as they land to the groun

Adrian's POVA loud bang echoes through my room, pulling me back to reality. My heart jumps into my throat as I recognize Ivy's sharp voice cutting through the hallway. Shit. I scramble off the bed, yanking my boxers up properly. Heat floods my face as the reality of what I was just doing crashes over me. I can't believe I was jerking off to images of Sera running through my mind like some desperate teenager.I'm so fucked up.My hands shake slightly as I move toward the door. I grip the handle and pull it open slowly, trying to look casual even though my pulse slams against my ribs.Sera stands right there.My breath seizes. She clutches a pile of my clothes against her chest, and the sight makes my stomach drop. Fuck. I completely forgot I left those in her room earlier.My heart does this weird flipping thing when I look at her. She kee

Adrian's POV I sit quietly at the desk, my hands folded in front of me. Day two of the custody case. But this time, we're not just dealing with the custody battle my parents filed. Now there are murder charges placed on Sera too.The judge walks in, his black robes sweeping behind him. "All rise," a member of the jury announces. Everyone stands. We sit down again after the judge takes his seat.He calls on the lawyer speaking for my parents to come closer. It's a new lawyer. They hired a new lawyer.I look at my parents with narrowed brows, wondering what they're up to. My father sits with his arms crossed, looking pleased with himself. My mother has that same cold expression she always wears when she thinks she's winning.The lawyer begins, his voice smooth and confident. "My Lord, my clients are here again to plead for custody of

Adrian's POV  Sera's legs fly up and kick my kneecap. I immediately drop her to the ground.Then I pick up a smiling Ezra and wrap him in a warm tight hug."Finally," I say with a smile.The courtroom is already almost empty, people leaving in their masses. I turn to where my parents stood before but they aren't there, neither is Ivy.Oh well, I guess I'm going home with Sera and Ezra then.I pick up Ezra and begin to leave the courtroom. His small arms wrap around my neck as I carry him out.We get to the parking lot. My parents' car is gone, so I just go to my car and tuck Ezra into the back seats. The little boy yawns, tired from the long day in court.Sera attempts to open the door but I hold her hand. Her skin feels warm under my palm.
