Chapter: 120: New DetectiveSERENA’S POV— Jane’s Memory —“Oh gosh, Charles. Why are you even telling me this? Gray is always busy and he would never have the time to screw other girls. He couldn’t even go home to our house because of his hectic schedule…”I found it ridiculous to think that Gray would have all the time in his world to have another woman aside from me. Since his father died, he barely went home because of the workload that his father left him in the company. I understood him, and I sometimes pitied him because all I saw was a man who was tired of dealing with so much stuff.I couldn’t do that. I would die first if my father died and left all the stress that he was enduring to me. He didn’t train me for that, unlike Gray who had been doing things in their company since he got married to me.“Oh goodness, Jane. Why are you even asking for my help if you won’t believe me? You said to spy on your husband, right? I am just telling you what I know,” Charles defended, drinking the alcohol he ordered.

Chapter: 119: Partial TruthGRAY’S POVSeeing that bastard again for the first time in years woke up something within me that I could not control. Well, I had no intentions of controlling it, anyway. Whatever I did to him, I knew he fucking deserved it.I called my mother last night to ask what the hell does that man doing in our company, and I would like to fucking choke myself to death when I heard my mother telling me to just fucking move on. Can she hear herself? She couldn’t just tell me to fucking do that as if that was something so easy to fucking do!That man ruined everything that I was cherishing!It was funny how I wanted to kill him every time we would be in the same place, but I couldn’t even move a finger now that we were sitting at the same table with the woman who looked exactly like the one that we both liked back then. Deja vu, huh? How fucking cruel. The only thing that made me feel good while sitting one seat away from him was the fact that I was the reason why his face got destroyed. I want

Chapter: 118: Gray and Charles’ ConnectionSERENA’S POVLucia was still sick and I still hadn’t moved on about the kiss. I should be acting brave and bold whenever I see Gray, but because of what he did and how I reacted to it, I always felt the need to flee whenever we would bump into each other in the Moore Estates.The memory I remembered was still fresh in my mind, and I still had no idea who the man named Charles was. I hadn’t told Kelly about him, too, as I was afraid that they would ask for more details regarding the day that I remembered something again.They always did that to know the things that triggered my memory. I was not ready to lie and conceal the fact that I liked the kiss that Gray and I shared. Fuck me for that.Ah! If I only knew that it would happen, I would have stayed at home and ignored the fact that I was the vice president of the company so I at least needed to show up even just for an hour.“Isn’t that the man who made you fall to the ground, Ms. Ambers? What the hell happened to his face? Is he ok

Chapter: 117: CharlesHAZEL’S POVDamn, that was fucking tough. Even though I had no intention of saving Charles’ ass before an employee passed by the hallway, I still had to help him fix himself before anyone could see us. It was my better judgment, and Geraldine would kick my ass off if I wouldn’t do it. “I don’t know what the hell are you thinking about coming back here. What the hell is wrong with you? Do you want Gray to kill your ass? You never listen…” I lectured as I guided him toward the fire exit. We couldn’t be seen by anyone while his face had so much blood, so we had to take this way to not embarrass himself.Charles was the only son of one of the Moores’ closest family friends. Gray wasn’t alive yet when Charles’ family had a connection with Gray’s father, so he was so hard to get rid of even if we already made so much effort.“Oh, I didn’t expect to see you here. I thought the bastard already fired you for beating up his so-called woman. Why are you here?” he asked, smirking as if his face

Chapter: 116: Gray’s WordsHAZEL’S POV Damn that man! Why did he have to come back? Why did he have to show up now that we are suspecting that Jane is alive? Damn him… he was making it hard for all of us. His timing was all wrong. “I am here now Mrs. Moore. Are you sure I am now allowed to enter the Moore Estates? Your son might kick me out again. He wouldn’t think twice to embarrass me in front of those people…” I stated over the phone, looking at the tall building where I used to work at for almost a decade now. Gray and I had never been on good terms ever since Serena came, so I was not sure if I was even allowed to show myself to him after what I did to Serena. I took a deep breath as I waited for the old woman’s response. She was not really old, but she was acting like one. She was acting like she would die anytime soon so that her children would favor her all the time. Cunning, right? “Oh, you don’t have to worry about that, Hazel. I have talked to my son about you representing me as one of the major

Chapter: 115: Who the Hell Is He?SERENA’S POVI shouldn’t be like that. How can I like the kiss of someone who ruined my life? It shouldn’t be that way. I found myself leaving the building, hailing a cab because I had no plans on going back while my face looked like a fucking mess. I didn’t want to show my face to our driver, too. I just didn’t want to be seen by anyone. I felt so embarrassed because of the emotions that were currently living in my chest right now.What the hell is wrong with me? What the fuck is going on?I didn’t go home like I originally planned. My mom and my siblings were there, and I would have some explaining to do if they saw how smudged my lips were.I checked in in an unfamiliar hotel. This was the first hotel that the cab passed by, and I was lucky enough that this wasn’t owned by the Moores. Their properties were scattered all over Texas, so it wouldn’t be impossible if they owned the establishment, too.Lucky for me because they didn’t.I stood in front of the mirror, removing my makeup
