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
Serena's POVI was walking out of the hospital with an annoyed expression on my face. I can't believe what Harry did. He filed a week of absence for me even without asking for my permission.He’s worried. I know that. I definitely understand where he’s coming from but he decided on something without consulting me. Is that even reasonable?“Serena!” He followed me and grabbed my wrist but I pulled my arm back and looked at him coldly.He sighed and clenched his jaws, “I just want to keep you safe, Serena! I’m doing this for your safety.”“What made you think I’m not safe? What happened was just an accident, Harry! The driver of the van didn't expect it to happen either—”“You almost died!” He said in frustration. “Why do you expect me to take that lightly? I almost lost you and I don’t have any idea about the accident. I’m just being cautious—”“It was an accident!” I said again, stressing the last word for him to understand.He looked at me with anger in his eyes. I don’t know anymore
Serena's POVMillie was tired from all the activities in the party so when we reached home, she’s already fast asleep on the backseat.I glanced at her before I bore my gaze back to the car in front of me. There’s a man standing beside the car, looking at me.I don’t know why he’s here but I don’t have the energy to argue with him.I got out of the car and he immediately approached me. “Serena…”“I’m tired, Harry. Let’s talk some other day,” I said coldly and opened the door of the backseat. I was about to carry Millie when Harry held my wrist, stopping me.“Let me carry her.”I shot him cold stares, “Why are you even here?”He swallowed hard, “I want to apologize for what I did. For shouting at you. For doubting your love. For hurting your feelings. For fighting with you. I was wrong. Please…forgive me.”I shook my head, “It’s not that easy, Harry. You cannot erase my pain with just a simple apology…”“That’s why I’m here. Please, babe, I can’t sleep knowing that you're angry. Please
Serena’s POVI was watching the security personnel checking the alarm device. I suddenly felt suspicious when I caught him observing my house. His eyes were keen and I feel like he’s not really a security personnel. I was just behind him, arms crossed. I don’t know what his intention is but I don’t like his presence.“Is it done?” I asked when he moved.“I still need to check the doorbell, ma’am.”I grabbed my phone and slowly called Harry. I feel doubtful of his actions and the way he talks. There’s something and I immediately regret letting him in.[Hello, Serena?]“Harry…” As soon as I said his name, the man stood straight and started fixing his things.[Yeah? What is it, babe? Is there a problem?]“None. I just want to hear your voice. I’m gonna hang up now.”[Alright! Rest, okay?]I just hummed and ended the call.The man fixed his cap and looked at me. “It’s finished, ma’am.”I followed him to the door but I kept my distance. Before I closed the door on him, he faced me again an
Serena's POV“I don't know what you're talking about, Catherine!” I said angrily.[Serena, this is Tyler…]I was able to calm down a little when I heard Tyler's voice. He sounded calm but worried.“What’s her problem?”[Are you home? Where's Millie? Please tell me you’re home.]My forehead creased, “No. I went out with Millie and Selena—”[Please go home, Serena. It’s not safe outside. Go home or better come to my parents’ house for a more safe environment. It’s Andy. He was…abducted.]My lips parted in shock, “What?!”[He was abducted, Serena. So please, take Millie to my parents' house. Don't tell her what’s wrong so she won't be scared. Just…do as I say please. Just this once.]I swallowed hard and nodded as I rushed back to our table where Millie and Selena were waiting for me.“Okay. I’ll send her there.”Selena looked at me worriedly, noticing my reaction. “What's wrong?”I texted her what’s wrong. She looked shocked and she immediately told Millie she was called by her boss. Mi
Harry's POVI had no choice but to watch her walk away from me. I felt so angry. My rage for Tyler Walter has been intensifying as days go by. I want to strangle him to death. I want to skin him alive. I want to bury him six feet under the ground. Why can’t he just leave Serena alone? Why does he have to drag her into his stupid life? He’s even using his darn son to make Serena’s heart soften.I balled my fists as I watched her car leave. There was a part of me that wants to think that Serena still has feelings for him that she can leave me without hesitation after one call from him. However, there’s also a small part in me that keeps squeezing in my head that Serena’s just doing this for a child. Serena’s naturally a kind woman and she can’t just stand by watching an innocent child get hurt especially because the kid was once her patient.Squeezing my eyes closed, the kindness in Serena’s heart made me feel bad and guilty.I want to be deserving of her love. I can’t lose her and the
Serena's POVI dropped by at my parent’s old house to get something that was owned by my dad. I didn’t know why I had the feeling that I’m gonna need it today. I hid it from the caretaker who saw me and immediately left after taking it and hid it in my bag.I didn't know what to do when I entered his office and saw him looking so miserable while sitting on the couch. His head was down and his face was buried in his palms. He looked frustrated and I know he’s also scared.I’m scared too. Andy is just a little kid and I don’t want something to happen to him although I hated his mother. Remembering the video that Tyler sent to me, I feel so bad and anger keeps on creeping in my heart.“Tyler…” I called his name softly as I sat beside him.He lifted his face and looked at me with a shock expression on his face. “H-How long have you been here?”I caressed his arm, “Stay strong. Your son needs you.”He sniffed and I saw tears in the corner of his eyes. He looked away and took a deep breath.
