Serena’s POV

I couldn't speak as I stared at Millie’s face. She was looking at me in the eyes and I’m waiting for her to shout at me and question my decision. I was waiting for her anger. I was waiting for her pain but nothing came. She looked calm and innocent as she waited for me to speak but I seemed to lose my voice because of the shock.

I flinched when she touched my hand. “I overheard Grandpa Charlie talking to Aunt Selena over the phone, mommy. I don’t understand why you and Daddy are divorcing but I know that you both love me and that’s enough for me.”

Tears profusely rolled down my cheeks as I stared at her face. I don't know what to say. She’s too young to experience a broken family but I can’t take back my words. Tyler had agreed and we already filed the divorce. Our marriage had ended. There’s no turning back now.

“I-I’m sorry…” As soon as I found my voice, those words escaped my lips. “I’m sorry for being a bad mommy to you…”

Millie sat on the bed and gently wiped the tea

My lips parted when I lifted my face and saw a familiar face with a dark expression looking down at me.“Where have you been?” His voice was so cold and sounded so angry.For a moment, I felt guilt spreading inside me as if I was caught cheating red-handedly. I stared at Tyler with a shocked face until the expression on his face brought back all the miserable moments I had with him resulting in a realization that we’re already divorced and he doesn’t have a say in anything I do now.I did not cheat because we’re already over and he was actually the one who rui

His kisses were the most vivid picture in my mind.My lack of sleep didn't stop me from going to work. Wearing a trouser and tube top with a coat, I entered the hospital confidently.I was aiming to go straight to my office when I saw my colleagues crowding someone in the medical staff lounge.What’s wrong?“Doctor Anson!” My assistant Zoe noticed me and immediately rushed to me.My forehead creased realizing her cheeks were flushed and she looked very excited.

It’s not like I want to use him but he already volunteered.In the end, I drove away with Harry sitting comfortably in the passenger seat. He looked so proud while sitting beside me and I just shook my head.While driving away, my eyes drifted to the side mirror and found Catherine standing in the same spot where I left her. She still looked irritated and her eyes were still sharp.Watching her as I drove away, I remember that I didn't like seeing her before. I don’t wanna see her or even talk about her because I always end up getting annoyed because her name was always connected to Tylers. If someone talked about Catherine, it’s impossible to not mention Tyler, her faithful lover. But now, I’m not afraid to face her anymore.Perhaps it was that ridiculous kiss last night that completely slapped me to wake up. I felt like letting Tyler go would make my

I rested my back against his hard and strong chest as he supported me by the waist, holding me in place and supporting my weight.A smile crept on my lips. I know these symptoms because I’m a doctor. Although this is not my field of expertise, I know by experience and by a little knowledge about these symptoms.“Serena, tell me what's wrong.

She's nervous, but so beautiful.”I smiled at him. “Do I look like her, Uncle?”He chuckled and nodded. “Of course, you are. Let's go?

They arrived while I was in the hospital with Andy. Tyler and Damon are currently on the Carolina Coast, and hTyler confirmed that Selena has been staying on that island.Uncle and Auntie are also here. An ambulance too and a private doctor.

The intricate design of the window grills looked exquisite in spite of being primitive. The front porch has a few steps until the huge double doors.I looked around, examining the whole place before I turned to Damon who's sitting beside me, also examining the place.“My private investigator sent me this location. He won't be mistaken,” I answered, full of confidence.We’ve been searching for her, and I won't let even a small piece of information slide. According to my investigator’s sources and investigation, the man who was with Selena went to this house.I got out of the car, and I heard Damon's sigh before he followed me.
