The doctor handed Serena Archer the pregnancy result with a warm smile. "Congratulations Mrs Archer. You are six weeks pregnant," he said, his voice filled with genuine happiness. Tears of joy prickled down Serena's eyes as she took the result in her hands. She had been eagerly waiting for this news for a while, and it finally came at last. "Thank you, doctor. I will take my leave now," Serena said, still feeling a little dazed. She left the doctor's office, feeling a sense of elation that she had never experienced before. Serena couldn't wait to share the news with Rick, her beloved husband. A baby in their lives would make their love even stronger, and she was thrilled to start this new journey together. Serena hailed a yellow cab and instructed the driver to take her to the Archer Mansion. As she settled into the back seat, she closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh. Her mind wandered to the thought of Rick's face lighting up when he learns that he is going to be a father. The m
Serena woke up the next morning feeling jolted out of her sleep, her mind still clouded with the events of the previous day. She rubbed her eyes and looked around, hoping that it was all just a terrible nightmare, but her eyes immediately fell on the divorce papers lying on her bedside table. The sight of them brought her back to the harsh reality that her marriage was on the rocks.Despite the overwhelming sense of despair that threatened to consume her, Serena couldn't help but cling to a faint glimmer of hope. She had been with Rick for three years, and in that time, he had showered her with love and affection. She had seen the way he looked at her, with eyes brimming with tenderness and devotion. She refused to believe that he could just throw everything away in a single day.Serena was convinced that Rick still loved her, even if he was unable to see it himself. She knew that he was struggling with unresolved feelings for his ex, but she refused to give up on their marriage. Sere
With her luggage trailing behind her, Serena stepped out of the Archer mansion and into the blinding sunlight. As Serena made her way down the path, memories of her time with Rick rushed through her mind, causing hot tears to spill down her face. It was still so difficult to comprehend that the three years she had spent with him, a time she had believed was filled with love and happiness, had come to an abrupt and painful end. Every step Serena took away from the mansion felt like a step away from the life she had known, and her heart ached with the weight of what she had lost.Serena took a final glance back only to realize that the mansion was no longer visible. She was alone, lost and thoughts of her impending motherhood began to flood her mind. She had been abandoned by the only person she thought she could rely on, and now she was left to face the world alone, with a baby on th e way.Serena couldn't help but feel that this was not how she had envisaged her future. Serena wiped a
As the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow across the sprawling estate, two luxurious Mercedes-Benz cars pulled up to the grand Stanford's mansion. The cars were impeccably clean and polished, and their sleek lines shimmered in the fading light. Two imposing bodyguards emerged from the first cars, and with a brisk nod to each other, they made their way to the last car. The car's door opened with a soft hiss, revealing Marcus and a Serena. “We're finally home," Marcus said, his voice tinged with a hint of excitement. Serena, on the other hand, was visibly anxious, nervously rubbing her hand. Sensing her apprehension, Marcus took her hand in his and spoke confidently, "It's gonna be okay. Dad isn't angry anymore." With a deep breath and a forced smile, Serena tried to calm her nerves as they both emerged from the car.The sound of their footsteps echoed through the entrance hall. The opulence of the surroundings was overwhelming, with intricate chandeliers an
Serena slowly opened her eyes to the sound of birds chirping and the gentle light that filtered through her window. As she yawned and stretched her body, she felt the warmth of the sun on her skin. Sitting up in bed, she took a moment to let her eyes adjust to the brightness of the morning light. Feeling rejuvenated, Serena got up from her bed and walked over to the window. She drew back the curtain, allowing the fresh morning breeze to fill her room. As she took in the beautiful scenery outside, she felt a sense of peace and tranquility wash over her. The world seemed to come alive around her, and she couldn't help but smile at the beauty of it all. Serena made her way back to her bed and plopped down wearily, reaching for the TV remote. She aimlessly flipped channels, trying to find something to distract her from the events of the day. Suddenly, a news anchor's voice caught her attention and she stopped changing channels. The anchor's tone was excited as he announced, "Georgina Spa
Four guards stood at the front and three at the back, preventing the reporters from getting too close. Marcus's hand slides around Serena's waist as the cameras keep clicking away. Serena flashes him a warm smile, and they both catwalk to the hall with reporters flocking behind them. Gina and Rick are forced to move out of the way to avoid being pushed by the reporters trying to get more pictures before the entrance hall closes. Gina angrily stomps her feet to the ground. "I hate this. Today was supposed to be my day. The attention should be on us, not your ex-wife," she says, her face contorted with anger. "I'm sorry, love," Rick replies. "Don't worry, I will make sure she leaves this place in shame." Gina's face suddenly softens. "Are you sure, baby?" Rick nods his head. "I will make everyone here aware that she is a lowlife," Rick mutters with determination. Saying those words makes Gina excited, and she can't wait to see what Rick has in store for Serena. With that, they make th
A new voice rang out in the huge hall, " 1 billion dollars!!" Everyone turned, their gazes fixed on Serena, who was sitting calmly with her card raised high. The auctioneer looked stunned for a moment, before resuming the countdown. "Going once, going twice," he said, but no one was able to match Serena's bid. Finally, the auctioneer declared the item sold. Rick's face turned purple with rage as he clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with fury. He couldn't believe that a lowlife like Serena could outbid him, the almighty Rick Archer. With a scowl, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "Boss," the receiver said. "Matthew," Rick replied. "Yes, boss," the receiver answered. "I will send you a picture soon. I need every bit of information you can find on that guy. Both business and personal life," Rick said, cutting off the call. "Wait," Serena got up from her seat and made her way towards the auctioneer, with Marcus trailing behind her. "I want this necklace to be placed
Archer's mansion.Rick stormed inside, holding Gina in his arms as he made his way to his bedroom. Rick sat Gina on the bed, her bandaged feet resting on a pillow. "Are you okay?" Rick asked, earning a glare from Gina.“Do I look okay to you?” Gina snapped. Her voice was laced with anger and frustration. “Today was supposed to be my day, but your ex-wife stole the spotlight. As if that was not enough, she won the bid and did this to me,” Gina said, pointing to her bandaged ankle."I am truly sorry, and I will make it up to you," Rick placed a gentle kiss on Gina's forehead. Just then, Rick's phone rang. Rick took out his phone and checked the caller ID. "I will be right back," Rick said to Gina as he exited the room."What have you got for me?" Rick asked with a hint of desperation as soon as he answered the call."I am sorry, boss, but I could not find any information about him," Matthew said from the other end of the line.Rick's anger flared. "How is that even possible!!?" Matthew
