Chapter Eleven

SERENABy the next morning, I had already read Adrian's text about fifty times, and it still didn't make sense. Hi. That was it. No explanation and no follow up, just that one word sitting there like a bomb that was waiting to go off. It was ridiculous how much power three letters could have over my mood.I sat at my desk silently, pretending to focus on my computer screen but my brain wasn't cooperating. My cursor blinked mockingly at the same blank document I'd been staring at for ten minutes. Every time I tried to type, my phone would light up, and my heart would jump even though it was never him again.I’d noticed the tension on the floor earlier when I came back from the bathroom, and I knew that he was already in the building. I'd caught a glimpse of him earlier walking down the hall with two senior managers, and I'd instantly ducked behind the vending machine like some kind of lunatic. It wasn't my proudest moment.Lola had already texted me twice that morning. ‘Did he text a

Chapter Twelve

SERENAThe hospital hallways were quieter than usual that afternoon, and I felt slightly hollow as I walked with my hands shoved deep into the pockets of my coat, keeping my head down and hoping no one would stop me to talk. My brief conversation with Adrian earlier was still weighing heavily on my mind. How could I have missed the jealousy written so clearly over his face? Even though we hadn’t known each other for long, he was clearly interested in me a little bit, and he hated the fact that I was entertaining his twin brother. But what was I supposed to do? The man is engaged, for crying out loud. It wasn’t as if I could just snap my fingers and make him single again. Sure, Maria was a fucking nightmare and I wished she would get hit by a bus or something, but I had no right to meddle in their relationship. I had my own problems, like the fact that I had a baby growing inside me whose father might be a charming but taken billionaire, or the wildcard twin brother who was equal par

Chapter Thirteen

SERENAI woke up to the sound of faint traffic and sunlight spilling through the blinds. For a long time I just lay there staring at the ceiling, feeling too comfortable and far too heavy to move. For a split second, I thought I had overslept and I was late for work. But then I remembered it was Saturday (thank God) and for once I didn't have to rush to work or pretend I had my life together.My hand brushed over my stomach absentmindedly as I rolled over, and the thought hit me again like it had a hundred times since last night. I'm getting rid of the baby. The words replayed in my head over and over again, somehow feeling dull and sharp at the same time. I knew it was the right decision, or at least that's what I kept telling myself. Still, a small part of me (the annoying and sentimental part) wondered if I'd hate myself for it later. Would I be able to go back to normal after getting rid of this? My life would definitely feel easier once I did it, but the guilt would stay with m

Chapter Fourteen

SERENAThe ride back to my apartment was so quiet that you could hear the pulsing of blood in my veins. I kept staring out the window, pretending to be interested in the streetlights and billboards, even though my mind was spinning.I hadn't said a single word since we left the theater. Not one. My heart was still doing this stupid fluttery thing every time I replayed the kiss in my head, and I thought about his hand brushing mine, and the way he looked at me right before he leaned in. God, it felt like something out of a movie. But now that reality had caught up, and all I could feel was guilt and confusion sitting heavily in my chest.Adrian hadn't said much either. He just drove silently with his fingers tightly around the steering wheel, and his jaw clenched. The tension between us filled the car like smoke, and I didn’t know what the hell I was supposed to say or do. So I just kept my eyes fixed on the street outside. We eventually hit a red light, and he finally exhaled. "Seren

Chapter Fifteen

SERENAI woke up to the sound of someone pounding on my door, and I instantly muttered a thousand curses on whoever it was. I groaned as the pounding continued, rolling over and pulling the pillow over my head.“Fuck off!” I yelled. “I’m trying to sleep.”"Serena!" Lola's voice suddenly came from the hallway, far too loud for a Sunday morning. "Get up, you lazy bum, you need to see this!""What?" I mumbled, sitting up and rubbing my eyes."There’s a delivery here for you,” she said. “You need to sign for it.”"A what?" I grumbled, looking at the time. She burst into the room, barefoot and wearing one of her oversized tees, and her eyes were wide with disbelief as she said, "There’s a brand new Ferrari outside, and there are some men outside with clipboards and papers who are waiting for you. I thought it was some rich neighbor's, but they asked for you by name."That woke me up fast. I stumbled out of bed, nearly tripping over my slippers as I rushed to the window. And sure enough, d

Chapter Sixteen

SERENAI clocked out a few minutes late that day because the system refused to sync my last report, and by the time I finally got downstairs, the building was mostly empty. The evening light was hitting the glass lobby walls at a very steep angle, tinting everything a soft shade of gold. Almost everyone was gone except me, and I was exhausted. I wanted a bubble bath when I got home, some pizza, and a long night of rest. Lola had downloaded Call of Duty Mobile last night, and she had already made me download the game as well. She wanted us to play together, but I couldn’t be bothered right now honestly. I just needed to sleep, and pray to God that nothing would interfere with that. I was just about to hail a cab when I suddenly heard someone call my name."Serena."I turned around , and I jumped a little bit at the sight of Aiden Knight. He was leaning against a black SUV that was parked near the curb with his sleeves rolled up, and his tie loosened like he'd just come out of a long

Chapter Seventeen

SERENAThe moment I saw my mom standing in the hallway with her two suitcases and that nervous smile she does when she's clearly hiding something, my brain just froze. It actually felt like I had a full system shutdown at the sight of her, and it took a while before I could start thinking again. I didn't even say anything at first. I just stepped aside and let her in because what else was I supposed to do? Shove her back into the elevator?Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate my mother. She was the only family I had left, and I loved her to pieces. I would have taken a bullet for her if it came down to it. But I preferred our relationship from afar, because things always tended to spiral out of control whenever we were together, and I hated that. Ever since I left Jersey to move to New York, I could sense that something was off between us whenever I went back home for a weekend or two. Mom would never say what the problem was, but I could sense that there was something she wasn’t saying.

Chapter Eighteen

AIDENWhen Serena slammed the door on her way out, it echoed around the office in a way that made me instantly irritated with myself. I instantly stepped away from Rebecca or whatever her name was, and I suddenly couldn't stand the sight of her touching her hair like she thought she had some kind of claim on me."Get dressed," I muttered."Sir..." she blinked confusedly, still gasping for air. "Now," I snapped. “Get dressed and get the fuck out of my office.”She scrambled for her shoes and left without another word, and I knew she was probably going to go and scream in the bathroom out of frustration, but I honestly couldn’t care less. The second the door clicked shut behind her, a heavy and annoying weight settled in my chest. I walked over to the window and leaned my forehead against the glass because I honestly felt like I'd just been punched.This wasn't how any of this was supposed to go.The plan was simple. I thought if I acted like I didn't give a damn, it would prove to her

Chapter Nineteen

ADRIANMilan was supposed to be fun, but after 48 hours, I was ready to bang my head against a brick wall. I sat at the head of the long marble table, pretending to listen as another board member droned on about "proactive sustainability measures" like he'd just invented the damn concept. Half the men in the room had spent the past decade pretending carbon regulations didn't exist, and now that the government was finally cracking down, they were scrambling to cover up their mistakes.If I wasn't so irritated, I'd almost find it funny."...perhaps we could form a preliminary task force that will draft a long-term plan for this,” Johan Smith said. He was a grumpy old fool, who’d made his first billion in arms deals. He was the stupidest of the bunch, and that was saying something. I cut him off before he could bury us further in meaningless nonsense. "Or," I said, keeping my tone polite even though I was two seconds away from losing my mind, "we could stop wasting time pretending any

Chapter Twenty

SERENAThe moment the screen went black, I set my phone down on the table and tried not to groan out loud. My heart was still racing a little because I had almost said it. I had almost told Adrian about what I saw in Aiden's office, and the thought alone made my stomach twist.If I had told him that I walked in on his brother having sex with some woman in his office, that would have exploded into something way bigger than I ever wanted to be involved in. That was the kind of information people lost their jobs over. That was the kind of thing that ruined families, and there was no damn way I was going to be the reason the Knight twins went to war with each other. So I forced myself to breathe slowly and told myself to forget it. I told myself not to ever bring it up again, not even by accident.I was still replaying the entire thing in my head when Rafael leaned forward."Serena, are you sure you're okay?" he asked for what felt like the third time."I'm fine," I said as I forced a sma
