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
Tyler's POVI forgot my office seal. I thought I brought it with me but I remember it was in the old villa. Now Serena's house. I remember that seal again after I realized I needed it today.I decided to go early, remembering Serena’s morning routine. She goes to work at 7:30 AM and by now, I’m sure she’s still preparing.I was casually standing in front of the door after ringing the doorbell but my calmness immediately got tested when I saw the person who opened the door.My eyes raked his whole body. Barefooted. Wearing Serena’s oversized pajamas. I can also smell Serena’s shampoo and body wash on him.My heart immediately raced in anger and my blood boiled seeing Serena’s lover comfortably standing before my eyes, looking so arrogant wearing my ex-wife’s pajamasI couldn't explain how I felt. I couldn't describe the emotion that was eating me alive while looking at his calm expression.I sucked my breath, “What are you doing here?”They’re…living together? Here?I felt like I was d
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
