Catherine's POVI was so happy. Tyler and I finally made love and I will make sure nothing will ever separate us again. I will fight for him and will never let anything or anyone get in between us. We are destined for each other and no matter what Serena does, he will never love her.I was on cloud nine for the past few days. The time I’ve been waiting for has come. Although I could feel Tyler's restraints and sometimes he’s kinda distracted, I know that I’m starting to get his attention again. There are times he seemed distant but I know it's only because we were apart for a long time and he needs time to get used to my presence again.I’ve loved Tyler ever since and I won’t let Serena or any other woman steal him away again. Tyler is mine to keep and no matter how hard his parents tried to tear us apart, our love for each other will never fade.Someday…our intense love will be revived again and no one can ever tear us apart again. After all, I am the only woman he ever loved. Serena
Tyler's POVMillie and Andy were watching TV in the living room when I got to my parents’ house. I stood by the door frame, watching them, admiring how they get along given they’re not from the same womb.They are my children. My daughter and son. Andy is a year older than Millie. They have the same eyes and skin color. I’m even amused seeing how they get along so well as if they have known each other for a long time.My children. My heart is so full watching them together.“Daddy!” Millie’s eyes found me.I immediately gave them a sweet smile as I walked towards them.“Uncle!” Andy looked very pleased to see me here.It hurts hearing him still address me that way. I already introduced them to my family but still, I couldn’t tell him that I was his real father. I’m scared his treatment will change. I’m scared he’d get mad at me for not being there for him.I sat on the couch and hugged them both. They’re sitting on my lap. On my right was Millie and Andy was on my left.“Daddy, I want
Serena’s POV“I like your hair, mommy.”I paused while putting Millie’s seatbelt on when she noticed my hair and touched it. I chuckled and locked her seatbelt before I stared at her face and fixed her hair.“Really? I just had a haircut. Does it suit mommy?”I cut my hair yesterday and its length has reached just my shoulders. I was praised at the salon yesterday, saying short hair fits me perfectly. I didn’t believe it until Millie noticed it and I’m glad she liked it.She giggled, “My mommy is so pretty!”I gently pinched her nose. “Alright! Let’s go or we’ll be late.”“I don’t wanna be late! Let’s go, mommy!”I smiled and closed the door of the backseat before I opened the door to the driver seat. I glanced at Millie’s grandparents watching us from the gate of the house. I just bowed at them before I entered the car and drove off to Millie’s school.Today is the event Millie was talking about. It’s a family day today so Millie’s very excited. She won’t stop talking and checking he
Tyler's POVI kept on cursing myself while driving so fast. My muscles are clenching because of anger and my teeth are constantly gritting. I stayed up late and finished all my paperwork last night because Millie has an event today. I’m always confident about being responsible when it comes to time. If I alarm at 6 even if I sleep at 5, I won’t oversleep but today I did. I fcking overslept and now I’m almost flying my car to Millie’s school, disappointed in myself.“Millie, I’m sorry for being a bad daddy,” I whispered as I drove even faster.When I reached Millie’s school, I saw a familiar woman standing beside a familiar car. I parked the car next to Serena’s and immediately got out of my car without even turning the engine off.“Serena…” My words were left hanging in the air when she looked at me with nothing but coldness in her eyes.I swallowed hard, “I-I’m sorry. Where’s Millie? Can I see her?”“You’re late, Tyler,” Serena answered coldly. “Very late and very disappointing.”I su
Serena's POVI noticed changes in Mililie. She accepted Tyler’s apology and even hugged him, I can feel something is wrong. She was starting to distance herself from some people particularly from Tyler. She won’t say a thing. She’s hiding her pain and I want to slap Tyler so hard for not even noticing it. He thought if he apologized, the pain would go away but he’s wrong. He’s always wrong.Sitting on a park bench, I was intently watching Harry teaching Millie to ride a bicycle. Why didn’t I realize that Tyler failed to teach all the things a father should teach his daughter? He was always busy and the only thing he’s good at is buying Millie’s toys. He loves her. So much as he claims, but he can’t really prove it enough.“Uncle, don’t let go!” Millie screamed as she kept riding the bike.I smiled while watching them but there’s still a hollow in my heart. These past few days, I felt like I’ve become like dust in Tyler’s way. Especially after Catherine came back. Tyler can no longer ap
Serena’s POV“Harry…” I mumbled his name, startled.He stared at me as the anger in his eyes slowly vanished and his grip on my wrist loosened.I don’t know. I felt attacked. He just stopped me from touching the painting that captivated me but I feel like there's something more.“I’m sorry. I just…” he paused and squeezed his eyes. He gently held my hand and kissed my wrist, staring into my eyes intently.He glanced at the painting before he looked at me again and gently pulled me out of the room. He turned the light off and I heard him lock the door.“I’m sorry,” he whispered and started kissing the back of my hands. “Did I hurt you?”I shook my head, “I’m fine.”He sucked his breath and pulled me closer, wrapping his arms around my waist as he let my cheek rest against his chest.I was still startled. It was a first. It was the first time I saw him get mad and I was really shocked. The anger in his eyes was unleashed for a few seconds and I started doubting the story of the painting
Harry’s POVAfter sending Serena to the mall, I went straight home with a messy thought. I couldn't forget how I found her in that room, staring at the gigantic painting.I was immediately angry and guilty and scared.The picture of Serena looking at the painting made me feel so bad that I ended up drinking.After I saw the painting again, the pain of losing them crept in my heart again, torturing me over and over.Sitting on the floor while my eyes were focused on the painting, I was drinking to my heart’s content. I feel miserable again and guilt is making it even worse.I shouldn't betray them. I came here for revenge but what did I do? I ended up doing something unplanned.Tyler Walter should pay for his sins. He took her away from me and my original plan was to make him pay. Blood for blood. I lost them helplessly so I’ll make sure that the person responsible will pay big time.“You will pay, Tyler Walter…” I whispered and drank the liquor again, straight from the bottle.I don't
Harry’s POVI was staring at my phone in my hand, feeling helpless as I wasn't able to answer Serena’s call because of the person sitting in front of me.He was playing with the knife in his hands, expertly slipping the sharp edges on his fingers without hurting himself. His eyes were sharp and there's a sarcastic smirk on his lips.“Won’t you answer that, cousin? It seems important.”I clenched my jaws, “Why are you here?”We’re cousins but we never got along. He’s sick in the head and he’s just like a mad dog, only loyal to our family.He purses his lip, “We’re just worried about you, cousin. You seemed to be having a hard time executing your plans. I thought someone had captured you.”I shook my head, “Leave. I can do this alone.”He pulled himself up and chuckled again as he walked towards me. The knife on his fingers fled to the wall, striking the picture on the wall, hitting the face of a man in the picture perfectly.He turned around and looked at me again. The danger in his ey
