[Six Years Ago]Serena's POVIt was a terrible day for me.My car broke down on the way to work that morning and I had to run to the hospital only to get splashed with mud at the front door. I managed to clean myself up and get back to work, only to receive a suspension notice from my director.The patient I admitted last week didn't make it and his family was now complaining that it was due to my poor treatment. I tried to appeal but that family started to make scenes at the hospital. And for the hospital's sake, the Dean decided to suspend me for a while. They promised to give me justice but I still felt bad.I came home lost only to see red paint thrown on the door of my house. Besides, I received death threats. They threatened me with blood for blood. I didn't call Uncle Charlie because I didn't want to worry them and I had tried a lot to get the chance to move out and live on my own. So I just called the police and they suggested me to find a hotel instead of home.I couldn't sle
Serena's POVI sucked my breath as I sat on the bed, caressing my chest where my heart was beating so fast and loud. My throat feels dry and my head is aching.That dream. It’s been a long time since I dreamed of the past. My past with Tyler. I felt weak. That dream seemed to suck all my energy and I feel like my limbs won't work.Shaking my head, I dropped my body on the bed again and squeezed my eyes closed trying to calm myself down.This is crazy! Why did I dream about that again? Just when I’m ready to face a new love.“Get it together, Serena…” I whispered to myself and bit my bottom lip.A few minutes had passed and I had calmed down. I sat on the bed again and glanced at the bedside table.My weekdays were peaceful and normal. After talking to Tyler and spending time on that bridge, I feel like I suddenly become a living dead. I was not in myself these past few days and my conversation with Tyler really affected me. Good thing the past weekdays weren't busy. Just some follow-u
Serena's POVI sniffed and wiped the tears on my cheeks. Uncle Charlie's always been afraid of mentioning my parents because he thinks it would break my heart again. He saw how devastated I was when my parents died and bringing up my parent's names could trigger my emotions. He knows that but I’m thankful to Chris Walter for telling me this.“Your father saved me that day, Serena. If not because of him, I wouldn't be able to marry and have a son. Have a granddaughter…”“I’m no longer your daughter-in-law…” I said because I feel like I need to say it.He shook his head, “That won’t stop me from taking care and protecting you and my granddaughter.”I pressed my lips together, refusing to say another word. Chris Walter invited me inside the mansion and I had no choice but to keep the box of necklace since he told me it originally belonged to my father.We went straight to the kitchen and I was surprised to see Tyler with Millie and Tessa Walter. They're baking a cake and Tyler immediatel
Tyler's POVMy dad has always been cold and strict and the moment I saw Serena’s swollen eyes, the first thing I thought was he scolded her.Mom brought Millie to the living area, I followed them but I immediately went back to the kitchen realizing Serena was not with us. I found her in the kitchen, talking to my father.Good thing Dad’s phone rang, but I felt like it was not really a good thing because he shot me with cold and dangerous glares.Something’s wrong. Dad is furious and I don't know the reason. Is it about Catherine again? Who called him?My phone beeped before I could enter the study room. I clenched my jaws and gripped my phone when I received a message from Catherine, saying Andy's application for admission to a school was denied.Dad knew. It was the reason behind the call earlier and his anger. He discovered Andy and he’s doing this to a child. I can't believe him!Clenching my jaws, I entered the study room but as soon as I opened the door, a flying lampshade greete
Serena's POVI didn't have a choice but to let Tyler go like that. Millie searched for her father but I told her Tyler had an emergency. He should be thankful for having an understanding daughter.While driving back home, I couldn't help but think about how Tyler walked away from me. He has a bruise on his lower lip and I know he’s hurt somewhere in his body. Chris Walter has always been strict with his only son. He would punish him depending on the weight of his mistakes and if he punished him because of Catherine, I’d bet he was severely beaten.Sighing, I shrugged the thought off of my head. He was injured by his strict father’s punishment and if it’s because of Catherine, I don’t think I should involve myself. Besides, we’re just co-parenting for Millie. I should now focus on my agreement with him to introduce Millie and Andy to each other. It should be my priority and not something else.Introducing Millie and Andy to each other might be easy since Millie believes that she can ge
Serena's POVMy heart almost jumped out of my chest when I heard Millie’s voice behind me. I bit my bottom lip, panicking as I turned around and looked at Millie. I took an awkward sigh and smiled at her.“Sweetie!”I’m pretty sure she saw what happened between me and Harry but she smiled sweetly and glanced at Harry standing in silence behind me.“Is he Prince Harry, mommy?”My cheeks flushed as I glanced at Harry. He was looking at me with amusement dancing in his eyes.Millie held my hand, “Aunt Selena told me about the prince you like. Is he the one, mommy?”I took another mouthful of air and smiled at Millie, “Sweetie, this is Harry…”I licked my bottom lip and slowly faced Harry. “Harry, this is Millie, my daughter.”Harry smiled and lifted his hand, showing a red cloth. He did some tricks until the cloth became a red rose and Millie clapped in amusement.“A magic!” Millie screamed excitedly. “Mommy, he can do magic!”I chuckled and nodded at her before I noticed someone watchin
Selena’s POVJust like what Selena wanted. We shopped and went to the massage spa. We're both lying on our stomachs while the female attendants are massaging our backs.“You know what, sooner I’ll build you a statue for being the saint of the martyr population in the whole world. Gosh! I can’t get you,” Selena said, rolling her eyes.She's always like this so I’m not offended. I chuckled and shook my head, “There's nothing wrong with what I did, Selena.”“Nothing wrong!” She seemed to be more stressed out now than earlier. “You forgive your cheating husband—”“Ex-husband,” I corrected.“—ex-husband, then and you even organized the meeting of your daughter with his bastard. Argh! I can’t…I can’t stomach what you did.”I sighed, “Selena, I don’t want to involve the children in our war. Besides, it was my decision to marry him before. It’s not also his fault that he couldn't love me while we're married. He hurt me but we're over now. Besides, I already have Harry now.”After mentioning H
Serena’s POVCurious about the reason why he was here, I left my table and walked towards Harry. He was talking to someone. He accidentally glanced my way while laughing. His eyes stared at me intensely so I decided to approach him but before I could see that person’s face, he left and Harry turned around and our gazes met.“Serena!” He smiled and I was relieved for some reason.I smiled back at him, “Why are you here?”He pulled me closer to him and kissed my temple. “I’m helping a friend. He couldn't make it here so I covered his shift as a bartender.”Slowly, I nodded. “Hm.”“How ‘bout you?”He pulled me to sit on a stool chair and faced me. He rested his hand on the bar counter and the other on the side of the stool chair where I was sitting. He was so close and I couldn't help but stare at his face while feeling strange emotions inside me, making me feel electrifying pleasure because of the kind of stare he’s giving me.He was looking at me as if I was the most important person i
