Serena's POVI was startled by the presence that I didn't expect tonight. He bore his eyes at me with emotions I couldn't name. We stared into each other's eyes and even when I wanted to look away, his gaze seemed to be sucking my attention in and I couldn't avert my gaze. My heart was racing as we drowned in each other’s stares.Out of nowhere, Catherine showed up and held onto Tyler's arm. She looked bothered as she watched me and Tyler making me want to laugh sarcastically.She seemed really triggered by my presence. Is she really that insecure with me?I turned to Tyler again. It’s funny how he can spend time with his mistress when he can barely spend time with me and Millie before.Tyler opened his mouth to speak when someone bit on the ice cream in my hand. My eyes widened realizing the ice cream was slowly melting and Harry was the one who bit on it.“It’s melting already, pretty woman,” Harry said and smirked at me.I chuckled as I stared at his face. He has cream on the side
Tyler's POVSerena is happy with another man. She smiled. She laughed. Her eyes twinkled. She looked alive.The scene earlier kept playing in my mind like a broken CD. The sound of her laughter keeps echoing in my head. Even the brightness of her smile doesn’t want to give me peace. It’s haunting me and I couldn't let it go.She’s happy. Without me.I couldn't accept it. I couldn't explain why it bothers me so much. I couldn’t explain why I kept on digging into my memory, thinking if I ever made her smile like that when she was still married to me.It made me feel bitter. She was capable of smiling like that when she treated me coldly. Did I hurt her too much? Should I have just apologized and sought her forgiveness for a mistake I didn’t know?Damn it! Am I really regretting it now?Swallowing hard, I tightened my grip on the steering wheel as I drove my car silently.I agreed on the divorce and this is the consequence of the wrong decision I made in the past. We ruined each other’s
Serena's POVHarry’s kiss was sweet and so gentle that I still can remember it when Monday came. I let him kiss me and I didn't regret it. Maybe because his assurance never fails and he always made me feel important even when we just met.I couldn't explain the feeling. I never felt like this before with other men. I dated before, but only Tyler managed to affect me like this and now…it’s Harry.Thinking about what happened made me realize one thing. It’s not a crime to try to find happiness again. If Harry could provide me with that happiness, I don't think I should avoid it.I entered the hospital and went straight to the elevator. When the door slid open and I stepped out of it, my eyes immediately landed on a handsome doctor standing in front of my office while talking to some doctors and nurses. He smiled and immediately walked towards my direction to greet me right after he saw me.I panicked so I stopped and gave him an eye, silently hoping he’d get my message.I agreed to try
Serena's POVMy gaze passed through the female patient and landed on Catherine and Tyler who were standing in front of us and behind the woman. Catherine looked so shocked just as I am.I turned to Andy again and unknowingly held his hand tighter when I noticed his eyes. I didn't notice it before because I couldn’t look at his eyes straight for a couple of minutes as seeing him made my heart ache. Now seeing it, I feel terrible.Why would someone else's child have the same eyes as mine? Was it just a coincidence?I didn't remember giving birth to another child and I definitely didn’t give birth to Andy. I sucked my breath, remembering something that once broke my heart into pieces. No! It’s impossible that it’s him. Andy's even a year older than Millie.Swallowing hard, I faced the female patient and gave her a small smile, “He’s just my patient.”Catherine immediately took Andy from me and carried him. “He’s my son, ma’am.”I stared at my hand. The warmth of Andy’s palm was in there
Tyler’s POVMom texted me to come tonight and spend dinner with them and Millie. I did not decline. I actually want to see Millie tonight but didn't expect the scene I could witness when I came.It had been years since I watched Serena playing the piano. Now, she was doing it again with our daughter. I could tell she enjoyed it. A smile crept on my lips when I saw Serena look at Millie and give her the sweetest smile I’ve ever seen.They looked so beautiful together and I couldn’t take my eyes off Serena. I could only see them and I felt like I was on cloud nine while listening to their playing.I slowly lifted my arm and caressed my chest when my heart suddenly raced remembering a similar dream I once had before. In that dream, there was no resentment between Serena and me, we were playing the piano with Millie like this, and when the music came to an end, I made a kiss on her lips and she happily reacted to me. That was the best vision I ever had for our marriage. But why did we fin
Serena’s POVI was already walking down the stairs when Tyler went to answer his call. I didn't mean to overhear his sweet talk with Catherine, but it just randomly wormed into my ears and what I'd heard was enough to make me furious.I immediately rushed to him and grabbed his arm to force him to face me. He was so shocked to see me standing in front of him. I guess he wasn’t expecting me to still be here. Surprised? I was the one who was surprised by his stupid idea of introducing my daughter to his illegitimate child.How short had we been divorced and he couldn't wait to introduce them to Millie? Did he ever worry about what Millie would think of us? And herself? Millie used to worry that Mom and Dad were fighting because of her, and now bringing his other child and his love in so soon would only hurt her more deeply! Hadn't he ever thought about this? I couldn't believe him!“Have you lost your mind? Do you think I’ll give you permission to bring your mistress and illegitimate ch
Tyler’s POVI couldn’t stop myself from following Serena. I drove slowly, following her car as anger dripped in every part of me. She slowed down and I stopped my car a few meters away from her. I don’t know what she’s doing but I could clearly see that she’s bowing her head down.I squinted my eyes, trying to figure out what she was doing until she sat straight and I saw her wiping something from her face.My heart ached strangely, realizing she was wiping tears.I swallowed hard and looked away. She was so angry when she heard I wanted to introduce Andy to Millie. I do understand where she’s coming from but Andy is also my child. I don’t wanna keep him in the shadows forever. He’s just a child.Serena’s car moved again after a few minutes. I immediately followed her but I made sure I kept my distance. I don’t know why I keep following her. Maybe my subconscious wanted to make sure she’d get home safe. That’s the last thing I could do for her, especially since I have a hidden enemy.
Catherine's POV“Ahhh!” I screamed and grabbed my hair in frustration after Serena dropped the call on me.I brushed my fingers against my hair and laughed sarcastically. Her insults echoed in my head crazily and I felt even more angry.Damn that btch!I dropped my body on the couch and threw my phone on the coffee. It was stupid of me to call her about Tyler when I knew she wouldn’t tell me anything. It was so clear that I heard her voice when I called Tyler earlier and it made me even more frustrated. Why is Tyler refusing to answer my damn calls?Sucking my breath, I tilted my head from side to side and shook my head. I just gave Serena a chance to mock me. Damn! That woman is the loser. She was divorced by Tyler and Tyler chose me, so would I need her to find Tyler? No! I don’t need her. I can’t show her that Tyler is my weakness.I grabbed my phone again and dialed Tyler’s number but I clenched my jaws in so much anger when I couldn’t call him again. Did he just turn his phone of
Tyler's POVI was watching my little family as they ate the food I cooked for them. Andy and Millie looked so happy while eating messily. I was raised by my strict mother. Taught to not eat messily or she would scold me. Now, seeing Serena laughing with the kids and patiently wiping their lips while eating makes my heart feel so full.I am an only child. So all the responsibilities as the only heir of my family was put on my shoulders at a young age. I had to stop playing fool. I had to stop messing around and was taught to take business seriously to continue the legacy of our family.The responsibilities given to me aren't enough to justify being a stupid rascal, letting go of my wife just because my first love came back and she told me we had a child. My responsibility as the only heir of the Walter's isn't enough to justify how I neglected my wedded wife and our daughter.I know! All of those were fueled by my insecurities because Serena started treating me so coldly and I thought
Serena's POVWhen we got home, Tyler was smiling nonstop. It was as if he received the greatest gift he could ever have. He was extra touchy and clingy. He won't stop kissing the back of my hands and touching my waist and back like those are his favorite things to do.“What?” He asked, smiling while he's in front of me, chopping meat.He volunteered to cook our lunch today and I want to stay in the kitchen to watch him. He rolled the knife swiftly on through his fingers like a professional chef and I feel like he's doing that on purpose to show me and amaze me.“You're so happy hearing that I’m actually pregnant.”He chuckled and nodded. “I’m gonna be a daddy again. My hard work has paid off! Finally!”I smacked his chest and chuckled. “Naughty!”I rested my elbow on the counter and put my chin on my palm. I stared at him as he continued chopping meats when I remembered Elias.“What do you think about Elias?”He stopped chopping and looked at me with a creased forehead. I couldn't bel
Serena's POVI rushed to the bathroom and puked on the sink after I woke up feeling nauseous. Beads of sweats rolled down my temple and cheeks as I squeezed my eyes closed.I washed my mouth and groaned. I suddenly felt so weak as I grabbed onto the sides of the sink and I felt a warm, big palm, caressing my back.“Baby…”“Hm!” I hummed and slowly opened my eyes to see Tyler through the mirror, standing behind me.He was looking at me with worried eyes while standing so close behind me.“What's wrong?”I sucked my breath and closed my eyes again. 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. Are you sick?” Tyler's voice sounded so worried and scared as he continued caressing my back.I looked
Serena’s POVMy heart was beating so loud and fast inside my chest while I'm inside the bridal car. My hands were almost sweating inside the white gloves I’m wearing. I know this isn't the first time I’m marrying Tyler, but this second time is different. I feel like my heart would jump out of my chest anytime now.I was constantly looking outside the window, and when the car finally stopped moving, I sucked my breath as if it's about to explode.I flinched when someone opened the door. I looked up and saw Uncle Charlie. He chuckled when he saw me nervously sitting inside the car.“You okay?”I stared at him like a child. “I’m nervous, uncle.”He squatted beside me and held my hands, looking at me with gentleness. “Your mother was just like you when she married your dad. 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? Your future husband is currently shaking in nervousness right now.”I bit my bottom
Serena's POVTyler pushed me against the closed door as he ravaged my lips with both hunger and passion. His hand caressed and lifted my legs as he pushed his lower body against mine. I threw my head back causing his lips to land on my throat.My body spasmed as I felt his hardness against my now aching core. I feel like the heat consuming my body is becoming more intense and I will explode any minute from now.When he stopped kissing me, I looked at him with drunk eyes. He was staring back into my eyes like I am the most beautiful person in the world and I like it. I like how he looks at me with so much affection. He was giving me so much assurance that he will be mine forever.“I love you…” He whispered and carried me to the bed. He lay me there carefully and he immediately followed, settling himself on top of me after he parted my legs using his knee.I gasped when I felt his hands gently caressing the sides of my body as he dipped his head and started kissing my neck.The gentlene
Serena's POV“Turn around,” Tyler said, staring into my eyes lovingly after he opened the door and saw me standing in front of the full-length mirror.I’m wearing a purple evening dress. My hair was in a messy bun. My necklace was exposed from the low cut of the dress's cleavage, and my arms were exposed too from the thin strap of the dress.Tyler started walking towards me as I slowly turned around, showing him my outfit. When I stopped spinning around, he was already in front of me. He caught me by the waist and pulled me closer to him.“So lovely…” he whispered and gently landed a soft and wholesome kiss on the side of my lips.My heart immediately hammered inside my chest as I looked at him with heavy breaths. The gentleness in his eyes were very evident as he softly looked at me.He's possessive at times, but not to the point that I’d feel suffocated. He would get jealous with some men ogling at me because of how I look, but he never once intervened with the way I dress.Slowly,
Serena's POVI was pacing back and forth while biting my fingernail. Tyler called an hour ago, requesting for a chopper, and Tyler's father immediately sent a chopper, a pilot, and some men. 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. I volunteered but Uncle didn't allow me because he said it would be better if the doctor who’ll assist Selena is not a relative to avoid emotional issues. I got his point, so I agreed.I kept on glancing at my wristwatch while waiting. I couldn't calm down. Tyler assured me that Selena is fine. She's safe, but I still couldn't calm down completely. I need to see her myself, so I’d feel at ease. I know Uncle and Auntie feel the same way. Uncle Charlie is just trying his best to calm down.I heard the chopper. I was alerted. I immediately followed Tyler's fathe
Tyler's POV“Are you sure we're in the right place?” Damon asked after I parked the car in front of a huge ancestral house. 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. The gate was open, so I went straight to the front porch. I pressed the doorbell. Even the doorbell looks traditional.“The savior must be a rich heir, huh
Catherine’s POVTyler's words kept on lingering in my mind, causing me pain, bringing me tears. I couldn't forget everything. Every single word ripped through my heart as I remembered everything I did for the past few years.I’ve lost everything. I was so scared of losing everything. I was so scared of being alone. I was so scared to the point that I manipulated the child I loved like my own.I gave birth to Andy. I love him like my real child. I don't wanna lose him. I don't…A painful sob escaped my lips again as I sat on the bed miserably.My wrist was cuffed to the bed. The door was guarded by the police. Even the sky outside the window seemed so sad.My heart felt so heavy and painful. I loved Tyler so much. I gave up on him unknowingly after I realized he will never be mine again. That no matter how hard I tried, he would never love me again because Serena completely owned him. It was only Andy that I wanted, but&hel
