Serena’s POV“You’re embarrassing me again.”Adrian’s voice was calm when he said it, but somehow, that made it worse.The entire dining table went silent.I stood beside his mother with a serving tray still in my hands while heat slowly crawled up my neck. Across the table, several business guests pretended not to stare at me, but I could feel their judgment anyway.Victoria Laurent sighed dramatically before taking a sip of wine. “Serena, how many times do I have to explain this? Important dinners require staff who understand proper etiquette.”“I was only trying to help,” I said quietly.Victoria smiled without warmth. “And that’s the problem. You keep trying too hard.”A few soft chuckles followed immediately.I lowered my eyes before anyone could see how humiliated I felt.Seven whole years in this family, yet I still felt like an outsider every single day.I carefully placed the tray down and stepped away from the table. “Excuse me.”Nobody stopped me. Especially not Adrian.Tha

Adrian’s POV“Mr. Laurent?”I looked up sharply as one of the house staff rushed into my bedroom.“It’s almost midnight, sir.”I glanced at the clock beside the bed and frowned slightly.Serena still wasn’t home.It’s been hours I’ve been trying to reach her but can’t. I assumed she went to Ava’s place to cool off before returning home like she usually did after arguments. But something about tonight felt different.I gestured to the staff to leave. She left hurriedly and close the door behind her. I picked up my phone again and called Serena’s number for what was probably the tenth time already.Still switched off.At this moment, my frustration has turned into fear.I loosened my tie before walking toward the window. Rain poured endlessly outside while thunder echoed across the dark sky. The weather was getting worse.A knock sounded against the bedroom door before Damien walked in casually with a glass of whiskey in his hand.“You look terrible,” he said while dropping onto the cou

Serena’s POV“My wife did not deserve what happened to her.” Adrian’s voice filled the room quietly from the television screen. I sat frozen at the edge of the bed. The cameras flashed endlessly around him while reporters shouted questions from every direction, but Adrian barely reacted. He stood there in a black suit, looking exhausted in a way I had never seen before.For a moment, he almost looked sincere.“I ask everyone to respect my family’s privacy during this difficult time,” he continued calmly.“Family,” I muttered. That word felt bitter now, I stared at the screen without blinking.This was the same man who stood silently while another woman discussed divorcing me like I was disposable.The same man I overheard planning a future without me. And now he was standing before the entire country acting like a grieving husband. My fingers curled slightly against the blanket.Leonard remained near the window behind me, silent while the broadcast continued.One reporter suddenly sh

ADRIAN’s POV“Confirmed?” I asked sharply.The investigator, still standing near the door nodded once. “Yes, sir.”The atmosphere inside the office turned tensed again. Rain still battered the windows behind us while Serena’s face continued appearing across every news channel in the background.I looked toward the investigator again. “Who is the body?”The man opened the file in his hand. “His name is John Sky, a man in his mid-forties, had multiple criminal charges including fraud, assault, illegal weapons possession, and organized theft.”Damien frowned as he stared along from where he was seated. “What does he have to do with Serena’s accident?”“That’s what we’re trying to determine.”I stepped forward impatiently and snatched the file from him, flipped through the report. The dead man’s face stared back at me from the report. He has a rough appearance and a scar near his jaw, then I flipped over to the next page, my heart sank at what I saw.
