Serena's POV The hall was filled to the brim, if that made any sense. From where I was upstairs waiting for Elliot, I couldn't spot a single space for one more person to fit in, yet more and more guests continued to troop in. Not that the size of the hall was small, in fact when Miss Hattie had booked this three storey hall, I'd told her it was way too big but she laughed and asked me to trust her. Now, not only was she right because there were people on the last floor, others on the second floor and a few on the third floor. The hall was built in a way that the three floors had a huge spacious center where stands for both couples were. There was also a huge TV from where people on the second and third floor could watch from. Asides Karen and the Vance family, I recognized some of the dignitaries and personalities seated at the table. Some of them had attended my wedding with Adrian, that's how I knew them, not that we've had any contact beyond that.It was ironic, getting married

Serena's POV “Is something wrong?” I asked when I saw the strict face he was keeping with me. It wasn't long before everyone started turning their heads in our direction, and murmurs started rising. I feigned a smile, hoping it was enough to stop them from stirring up insinuations. I wondered where Elliot went, and started to search for him in the crowd when Jenson took my wrist and began to lead me out of the hall. It was then I saw the small envelope in his hand. “Jenson, people are watching.” I whispered. “Please, stop.”But he didn't, not until we reached the hallway, away from the eyes, and into a small room. He tossed the envelope to my feet. “What is going on? Why wouldn't you say anything? I need to return to the party.” I said and attempted to leave but he pulled me back.“Pick up the envelope.”“Not now, Jenson. Whatever it is, I'm sure it can wait after the party.” I told him. “And you need to stay away from me for the meantime, I'm tired of all the allegations.”“Stay

Meanwhile, Kelvin was a mess inside. He had, shortly before the engagement, realized that he had grown feelings for Karen. From the first day he met her, he had found her daring and wanted to be away almost immediately. But that daring woman he'd first met had gradually turned into a sad, repressed woman, holding in a lot of emotions that piled on top of that daring feature.And whenever that feature tried to climb out of all that emotion, Finn did not hesitate to push it back down using her brother. And a while ago, staring at Karen in Finn's arms made him feel worse. He had not realized that he'd worn a complete black outfit to the engagement, until Finn pointed it out before the party started. The truth was that he didn't want this for Karen, yet there was nothing he could do to stop it. Finding her brother didn't help much, because Karen was not sure what he looked like after those years. Still, he had tried. He had gone to the station and asked about the fire from years ago bu

“Miss Serena!” The woman blurted out fearfully.Jenson let go of her arm in shock, just as the hall rose into uproar. The murmurs became even louder and people started to leave quietly. “What do you mean Serena?” Jenson asked quietly, unable to believe it. Elliot ran past him, not bothering to ask the grief-stricken woman any questions. He ran out of the hall, with Jenson behind him, and a few other guests who were stubborn enough to be spectators to a person's misery. Elliot had no idea where he was running to. In fact, he was only thinking about it now after bolting out of the hall. Upon hearing the woman's words, the first instinct was to run to Serena even before he stopped to think where he was running to. But he didn't have to think long, a few meters away, a group of people were gathered around, huge smokes rising into the air from where they stood. Elliot gradually stopped running. His face slowly broke into slow, short steps, with a whispered prayer in between. Please,

Karen awoke to sounds of banging. She lay against the table, half dressed, and drowsy. Eventually, the sound became more fierce and Karen was forced to open her eyes. The moment she raised her head and sat up, her head ached badly and the fierce noise only made it worse. Karen stared at her surroundings and tried to remember how she got here. She remembered the engagement but nothing after that. She panicked when she stared at the state of her dressing. She was almost naked, her gown from the night before barely covering her body. Seeing that the door was about to be broken down, she stood, ignoring the banging ache in her head and managed to wear the gown properly, however she couldn't do the zipper single-handedly so she had no choice but to support the gown with her hands. Eventually, the door was broken down and it made a heavy thud against the ground. Some men dressed in suits rushed in and surrounded her.“Ma'am, are you alright?”“Are you hurt?” Asked another.“Did someone
