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
Serena's POVI filed a leave of absence to spend more time with myself. The thing that happened between me and Harry that night was still crystal clear in my mind. I couldn’t get it off of my head as I couldn’t get rid of the misery that happened between me and Tyler.I didn't have to call my therapist to know that my depression had beaten me down once again. I thought I'd completely overcome it but it just made a comeback.I was sitting in the tub, sinking my body under the water as it took away my air. It was suffering but felt like a relief. That urge to kill myself grew stronger in my heart as if it was the only way to take away all my pain. The only way to happiness."Serena..."I saw Mom and Dad waiting for me at far with smiles. I wanted to run into their arms but someone caught my hand. I turned around to see a little figure."Mommy, don't leave me!"Once at the sight of Millie's tearing face, all my sanity came back. I pulled myself from the water, gasping for air. There was
Serena’s POV“W-What?” I breathed nervously.I was staring at her while she stared back at me and I was shocked when she lifted her arm and gently caressed my cheek.“Why are you crying, mommy? I just had a dream about a baby brother. I didn’t mean to scare you.”I quickly shook my head and wiped my own tears before I looked at her again. “Why? Do you want a brother?”Her hopeful eyes twinkled. “Yes, I really want a brother or even a sister. I would really love to play with my siblings because it sometimes feels sad playing along but…”The happiness in her eyes suddenly faded, making me panic. She looked at me again and sighed.“...but I know I can’t have a brother because mommy and daddy are divorced.”I squeezed my eyes closed and gripped the bedsheet in my palms.I suddenly felt sad. Yes, I can’t give her a sibling because I don't think I’m courageous enough to have a child again but with Tyler, I know he can give what Millie wants. She already has a brother with her dad and he’d p
Serena’s POVHis eyes which were lifeless and sleepy slowly widened after he recognized me. In spite of his appearance, I was relieved to see him here.“Serena!”I jumped in shock when he closed the door on me and I heard commotions inside. I don’t know what he’s doing and I thought he wouldn't open the door again when he did.He was already panting and brushing his fingers against his hair as he swallowed hard and looked at me worriedly.“I-I’m sorry… Come in…”I wanted to talk to him, so I entered when he opened the door wide. I roamed my eyes around. The living room wasn’t that tidy and I could see some empty bottles of alcohol stuffed under the sofa but he failed to completely hide it.I sighed and turned to Harry who was silently watching me.“Why is your phone turned off?”He paused and cleared his throat, “The battery drained.”I stared at him. He couldn’t look me in the eyes. He didn’t expect that I would come tonight and he’s ruining himself.“What are you doing to yourself?”
