Chapter 221 Kane's Threat

Serena's POVI closed the car door behind me, feeling a small wave of satisfaction as I left that nasty woman standing there fuming on the sidewalk. My bodyguards quickly settled in, one in front with the driver and one beside me, both watching me with concern."Are you alright, Mrs. Blackwood?" one of them asked, his eyes scanning my face for any signs of distress."I'm fine," I assured him, smoothing my hand over my baby bump. "Some people just don't know when to shut their mouths."The encounter with Tiffany Vergara had been unexpected but not surprising. I'd heard about Kane Blackwood's fiancée—the spoiled daughter of the Vergara family who was supposedly only marrying him for business connections between their families. Looking at her venomous personality up close, I understood why they matched so well."Should we inform Mr. Blackwood about the incident?" my bodyguard asked, already reaching for his phone.I waved him off. "No need. It was just a catty exchange over a dress. Nothi

Chapter 222 The Misunderstood Heart

Serena's POVI watched Ethan shift uncomfortably in his seat, looking like a schoolboy caught passing notes. Poor guy. Maya had practically frozen him with that glare when we walked in."Ethan," I said, leaning against my desk, "you need to talk to her. Now."He ran his fingers through his perfectly styled hair, messing it up slightly. "It's complicated, Serena.""No, it's not," I crossed my arms. "You led her on in London, whether you meant to or not. And now you're avoiding her like she's got the plague."Ethan winced at my directness. That's one thing about regaining pieces of myself - I'm not as soft-spoken as I used to be. The old Serena might have sugar-coated things."I didn't mean to give her false hope," he mumbled, looking down at his expensive shoes. "We spent time together, had dinner a few times. I enjoyed her company, but...""But what?" I pushed. "Maya isn't just my business partner, Ethan. She stood by me when I had nothing. When I was drowning after the divorce. She's

Chapter 223 When Honesty Hurts

Serena’s POVI spotted Ethan through the glass walls of my office, looking completely lost. His shoulders were slumped in a way I'd never seen before—the usually poised Ethan Quinn looking like he'd just been hit by a truck.I grabbed my water glass and walked over, keeping my voice low. "Ethan? How did it go?"He shook his head, avoiding my eyes. "Serena, I have to go. Something came up.""Wait, what happened with Maya?" I pressed, touching his arm lightly."I think I made things worse," he muttered, running a hand through his hair. "I tried to explain, but the words came out all wrong. She basically kicked me out."I frowned. "What exactly did you say to her?""I tried telling her I was inexperienced with relationships, that I didn't mean to lead her on... but before I could explain that I actually do enjoy spending time with her, she shut me down."I sighed deeply. "Oh Ethan. That's not what I meant when I said be honest. You made it sound like you were rejecting her.""I know that

Chapter 224 Drunk Confessions

Serena’s POVThe manager grinned with dollar signs practically dancing in his eyes. "Alright boys, make sure these lovely ladies are well taken care of!"The male models quickly swarmed around us, making me jump to my feet in alarm. Ryan was still waiting outside—if he knew I was in here surrounded by male entertainers, he'd probably lose his mind."Why so tense, beautiful? Sit down," one model cooed, boldly grabbing my hand. His eyes swept over me with practiced charm. "We get clients like you all the time. Husband not giving you enough attention? Here, you can tell this boy all about it."I froze for a split second before yanking my hand away like I'd been electrocuted. "You've misunderstood. I'm not your client."With a frown, I flung open the door and waved Bob in. "Watch Maya. Don't let these guys do anything to her. I need to make a call."Bob nodded, his eyes widening as he took in the scene—Maya surrounded by half-naked men, looking way too comfortable.Maya was on a touchy-fee

Chapter 225 Morning After Misunderstanding

Maya’s POVI woke up at an ungodly hour, my head pounding like a construction site. Where the hell was I? Some hotel room by the looks of it, way too fancy for my usual taste. Sunlight streamed through half-drawn curtains, making my headache even worse.As I pushed myself up, squinting against the brightness, I nearly had a heart attack. There was Ethan—fucking Ethan Quinn—slumped over in a chair beside the bed, fast asleep.Holy shit.The morning light caught in his dark hair and fell across his rumpled dress shirt. Even exhausted and disheveled, he looked annoyingly perfect. What was he doing here? What happened last night?I frantically checked myself under the covers. Fully dressed. Thank God. At least we hadn't... well, whatever.I couldn't help staring at him. His usual perfectly composed expression was softened in sleep, though his eyebrows were still slightly furrowed. Something about seeing the always-in-control Ethan Quinn passed out in a chair made my heart do a stupid littl

Chapter 226 Unspoken Secrets

Serena’s POVI couldn't shake the image of Maya's face when she mentioned Ethan. There was something raw there, something hurt that went beyond professional frustration. And that "colleagues, not even friends" comment she'd dropped earlier? Ouch.My phone buzzed with a text from Ryan: "Wear the blue dress tonight. The one from Paris."I smiled despite myself. Six months ago, I would've been thrilled by such a direct command about my wardrobe. Now I typed back: "I'll wear what I want, but thanks for the fashion advice, Mr. Blackwood."The door swung open without warning, and Maya marched back in, clutching her tablet like a shield."I forgot to mention—" she stopped mid-sentence, catching me sprawled unprofessionally across my furniture. "Comfortable, are we?""Extremely," I grinned, not bothering to sit up properly. "What'd you forget?"She tapped something on her tablet. "Celeste can't make it tonight. Family emergency.""Oh no, is everything okay?""Her grandmother fell. Nothing life

Chapter 227 The Fall of Kane

Serena’s POVI watched Kane and Tiffany make their grand entrance, dressed in matching midnight blue outfits that screamed "power couple." If Kane wasn't stuck in that wheelchair, they might have actually looked perfect together. But reality's a bitch, isn't it?"Quite the dramatic entrance," I whispered to Ryan, unable to hold back a small laugh.Ryan squeezed my hand gently, his thumb tracing small circles against my skin. "Let's go sit over there for a bit. I want a front-row seat to whatever disaster is about to unfold."I nodded, but before we could move, Kane had already wheeled himself toward Lucian with Tiffany clicking along beside him in her stilettos. The tension in the air thickened instantly, like someone had cranked up the thermostat in an already stuffy room.Kane shot Lucian a smile so cold it could've frozen champagne. "What a lively party tonight. Where's Mr. White hiding? Or did he send you to do his dirty work as usual?"Lucian didn't even flinch. He took a leisurel

Chapter 228 A Matchmaker’s Scheme

Serena’s POVI strained my neck looking around the ballroom, scanning the sea of faces for Maya. She had vanished completely."Where did Maya suddenly disappear to?" I muttered, my eyes still searching the crowded venue.Ryan shrugged casually. "Maybe she went home to rest."I shook my head, feeling something wasn't quite right about that explanation. Then another thought hit me."Wait—Ethan's gone too?"As the words left my mouth, my mind jumped to the obvious conclusion. I turned to Ryan with wide eyes."You don't think... those two are together somewhere, do you?"Ryan raised an eyebrow, looking exasperated yet amused by my instant matchmaking reflex."Serena, relationship matters are better left alone. Let them figure things out themselves."I sighed dramatically. "Easy for you to say! One's my best friend and one's my brother. How can I not worry about them?""What exactly did you have in mind?" Ryan asked, probably already regretting the question.I motioned him closer with a lit

Chapter 229 Verbal Warfare in Heels

Serena’s POVI'd been feeling pretty pleased with myself over my matchmaking scheme, but the moment I spotted Tiffany pushing Kane's wheelchair in my direction, my mood soured instantly."Miss Quinn, so dedicated to networking even with that baby bump," Tiffany said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Though I wonder—are you here tonight as Dreamland Studio's boss or as Ryan's woman?"She paused, her smirk growing more venomous. "Oh, I almost forgot. You're not actually Mrs. Blackwood, are you? Married once, then thrown out like trash. I'm guessing it's only because of that baby in your belly that you've managed to worm your way back into Ryan's life?"I stared at her coldly. This was only our second meeting, yet the hostility between us felt ancient and instinctive. No surprise there—Kane and Ryan were sworn enemies, after all."Miss Vergara, your information is embarrassingly outdated," I replied smoothly, watching her barrage of insults hit with all the impact of a feather."W

Chapter 230 The Proposal Project

Serena’s POVI've been noticing Maya and Ethan spending a lot of time together lately. This isn't the first time I've caught them whispering in Maya's office."You two have been—" I started asking, but Maya cut me off immediately."Serena, don't get the wrong idea. Mr. Quinn and I are just working on a collaboration."Ethan nodded in agreement. "Yes, a collaboration."I couldn't help but smile knowingly. Ryan's plan was clearly working—look at them, presenting a united front."Fine, collaboration it is. I'll leave you two alone then." I backed out of the office tactfully, but not before giving Ethan an encouraging glance that said "go for it."I lingered outside, chatting with a few designers, watching as Maya and Ethan eventually emerged from the office walking side by side."Looks like our Miss Carter's spring romance is blooming," I said with a grin.The designers giggled in agreement."Mr. Quinn and Miss Carter look so perfect together, even just from behind!" one commented.Anothe
