Chapter 211 Stolen Freedom

Serena's POVBefore I could answer, Maya's voice suddenly erupted from my phone."Who the hell is that talking? Tell him to back the fuck off!"Maya was already fuming about Ethan, and now someone had interrupted our conversation. When my best friend gets angry, she doesn't care who she offends.I seized the opportunity and flipped my phone camera to show Lance."Maya, this is designer Lance Draven. He worked on that collaboration project with Celestial Gems I told you about."Maya just grunted, clearly uninterested in pleasantries right now."Are you at some event? Where are you?" she asked impatiently.I laughed nervously, stealing quick glances at Lance who was still hovering uncomfortably close."Yeah, I'm at Lance's art exhibition actually.""Is it over yet? Find somewhere private so we can talk properly. I'm not done ranting about that jerk Ethan."I forced another awkward laugh. "Sure, just give me ten minutes, okay? I need to wrap things up here first."Maya finally relented an

Chapter 212 Kidnapped by the Artist

Ryan's POVSomething wasn't right. I'd been sitting in this board meeting for over an hour, but couldn't shake this growing uneasiness in my chest. My pen tapped incessantly against the polished table while some executive droned on about quarterly projections."Mr. Blackwood? Your thoughts on the proposal?"I looked up, realizing everyone was staring at me. "We'll revisit this tomorrow. Meeting adjourned."Ignoring their confused expressions, I checked my phone again. No messages from Serena.Simon approached as the room cleared. "Sir, is everything alright?"Before I could answer, my phone rang - Serena's driver. My stomach dropped."Mr. Blackwood," his voice trembled, "Mrs. Quinn is missing. I left her at a coffee shop while getting gas, and when I returned, she was gone.""What coffee shop?" My voice came out razor-sharp."The one across from her studio, sir."I was already moving toward the door. "Send me the exact location. And check if she returned to the studio."Next came Maya'

Chapter 213 Vengeance and Rescue

Ryan's POVI stared at the monitor displaying Lance's holding room, my knuckles white from gripping the edge of the desk. The security footage from last night played in my mind on repeat - Serena bound to that chair, that monster's hands on her."Mr. Blackwood, what should we do with him?" Simon asked quietly beside me.My jaw clenched so tight I could hear my teeth grinding. "Make him disappear.""Sir?""You heard me." I turned to face my most trusted assistant. "Not dead. I want him alive and suffering. Find the most remote facility we own. Somewhere no one would think to look."Simon nodded, understanding exactly what I meant. "The compound in northern Alaska?""Perfect. No phone service, no internet, complete isolation." I glanced back at the monitor where Lance was pacing his temporary cell. "And Simon? Make sure he never creates 'art' again."Simon's eyes widened slightly before he nodded. We both knew what that meant."What about his public profile, sir? He's a well-known artist

Chapter 214 Hidden Motives

Ryan's POVI stared out the hospital window as I waited for the elevator to arrive. The nurse had just checked Serena's vitals and given us the all-clear—both she and our baby were stable. My mind kept replaying last night's events, how close I'd come to losing them both. The rage I'd felt when finding her bound in that studio still simmered beneath my skin.The door to Serena's room suddenly opened, drawing her attention. I watched through the security camera feed on my phone as a well-dressed man entered her room."Mr. Quinn? What are you doing here?" Serena's voice carried a note of surprise.It was Ethan Quinn, CEO of LUXE, the British jewelry empire. What the hell was he doing here?I signaled Simon to hold the elevator and strode back toward Serena's room, keeping out of sight. I needed to hear this conversation."I heard Maya rushing back last night," Quinn was saying as he sat beside her bed. "When I learned you were hospitalized, I decided to come check on you myself.""That's

Chapter 215 Bloodlines and Secrets

Ryan's POVFrom Ethan Quinn's expression, I had my answer."You think Serena is your long-lost sister, don't you?"He nodded, his gaze steady. "Mr. Blackwood, how much do you actually know about Serena's past?"I frowned. "Not much. When we married, she had lost part of her memory. She couldn't remember where she came from or who her parents were."Quinn shot to his feet, composure crumbling. "Are you saying she's been suffering from amnesia all this time?"I nodded slowly, eyeing his reaction. "Mr. Quinn, none of this is certain. She has amnesia—there's a real chance you're mistaken."He shook his head emphatically. "That can't be a coincidence. Serena looks remarkably like my mother, and her memory loss coincides with when my sister disappeared. Doesn't that tell you something? I need to speak with her directly."Quinn turned to leave, but I stood quickly and stopped him. "Wait! Serena is still recovering in the hospital. You can't question her now."He paused, then turned back. "I'l

Chapter 216 Fragments of the Past

Serena's POVI woke up the next morning to find Ryan already gone. The empty space beside me felt colder than usual, my mind still swimming with fragments from yesterday's conversation. Find my family? After all these years of emptiness, could it really be possible?After finishing my breakfast, the housekeeper approached me with that perfectly practiced professional smile."Mrs.Quinn, Mr. Blackwood has sent a car for you," he announced with a slight bow."Thank you. I'll just change into something more comfortable first," I replied, already feeling a flutter of nervousness in my stomach."Please take your time, Mrs.Quinn. There's no rush."I nodded, making my way back to our bedroom. My fingers trembled slightly as I chose a loose-fitting sweater and comfortable pants. What would I discover today? Would I finally learn who I really was before the accident?The car first took me to Blackwood Tower to pick up Ryan before heading toward the suburbs. During the ride, Ryan held my hand tig

Chapter 217 The Lost Sister

Serena's POVI made my way to the studio with a mix of anticipation and dread churning in my stomach. The questions about my past refused to leave me alone, and Ethan Quinn seemed to hold some of those answers."Ethan, do you have a moment? I'd love to meet at the studio to discuss the London collaboration. There's so much I want to chat about," I said into my phone, trying to keep my voice steady despite my racing heart.There was a brief pause on the other end before Ethan quickly agreed. "Serena, you're out of the hospital already? How are you feeling?"I forced a light laugh. "I'm much better now. Do you have time to meet?""Of course. See you shortly."Twenty minutes later, Ethan walked into my office, his eyes immediately scanning me from head to toe with unusual intensity."Your color looks much better than when you were hospitalized," he remarked, studying my face.I smiled politely. "Thank you for your concern, Ethan."Instead of jumping straight to my questions, I started dis

Chapter 218 Secrets Between Lovers

Serena's POVThe peaceful silence in my office didn't last long before a knock interrupted my thoughts. I opened my eyes to see Maya already walking in, her face full of questions."So he's gone?" she asked, trying to sound casual but failing miserably.I nodded, forcing myself to look more present than I felt. My head was still spinning from everything Ethan had just revealed.Maya's shoulders slumped as she flopped dramatically onto my office sofa. "He just left like that..." She grabbed a cushion, squeezing it like it was Ethan's face, pinching and twisting it repeatedly."Well? Did he say anything about me? What does he think about us?" Her eyes were practically begging for good news.I hesitated, choosing my words carefully. How could I explain the situation without betraying either of them?"Maya, I think relationships need time to develop naturally," I finally said. "You two haven't known each other very long. Expecting concrete answers so quickly might be rushing things, don't

Chapter 219 Claim Me Again

Serena's POVI gazed into Ryan's intense eyes as his lips pressed against my fingers. My heart raced faster when he said those words—"I'd do anything to make you happy. Anything at all.""Ryan..." I whispered, feeling the tension shift between us.He pulled me closer, his hand sliding to the small of my back. "You know what terrifies me most, Serena?" His voice was barely audible, vulnerable in a way I rarely heard from him."What?" I asked, noticing how his eyes darkened with emotion."That if you really are who Ethan says you are—a Quinn—you might choose to leave all this behind. Leave America. Leave..." He swallowed hard. "Leave me."The admission hung in the air between us. Ryan Blackwood, the powerful, confident CEO who commanded respect everywhere he went, was afraid of losing me."Is that why you didn't tell me about your conversation with Ethan?" I asked softly, touching his face.He nodded slightly. "Selfish, I know."Without another thought, I wrapped my arms around his neck

Chapter 220 The Viper in Silk

Serena's POVThe doctor declared my baby girl perfectly healthy at today's checkup, sending waves of relief through me. I couldn't stop smiling as the driver took me to the International Tower where Ryan had arranged for a fitting of the custom gown he'd ordered for me."He's so protective these days," I murmured to myself, feeling the gentle movements of our daughter inside me. Two security guards followed closely behind as I stepped out of the car, one carrying my purse while the other scanned the surroundings.Inside the boutique, a sales associate rushed toward me with an overly bright smile. "Mrs. Blackwood! Please follow me. Mr. Blackwood has everything prepared."The dressing room was spacious and elegant—typical Ryan, sparing no expense. The attendant helped me slip into a stunning midnight blue gown with intricate crystal embellishments that caught the light with every movement.I stepped out and examined my reflection in the full-length mirror, turning sideways to see how my
