Serena's POVI feel so furious seeing hateful comments being thrown at Millie right after the scandal Tyler's uncle made. I was in the canteen of the hospital, taking a break from work when I saw the news on TV.I couldn't help but feel so angry towards the people leaving nasty comments. I know a scandal like this isn’t tolerable and the abuser needs to pay for it but dragging an innocent child is not tolerable. I won't allow this!‘I hope the same thing happens to Tyler Walter's daughter someday.’I gritted my teeth in so much anger while looking at the comments through my computer monitor.Millie is my daughter too and I won't let this slide. What has Tyler been doing?The news spread like a wildfire this morning and there's still no action being executed. Not even a press conference to clear the name of the Walters. Does that mean the scandal was true?Damn!“Sht!” I cursed and threw my phone on the table when for the 8th time, Tyler refused to take my call.Earlier he was uncontac
Tyler's POVI couldn't be more anxious than I am now. Sitting in the middle of the businessmen arguing, I felt suffocated. Some of them are accusing me of being my uncle's accomplice and some are defending me.Their argument is hurting my head and I can only feel disappointed hearing how they only care about their own benefits and didn't give a damn about the current situation of the company. For me, none of them are capable and worthy of handling the company after me.“What about our shares, huh? The only thing I can think of now is to sell my shares but who would buy it in this situation? How can I earn when such a vicious scandal is tainting the company's reputation?”“Do you think I’m not thinking that? I care about my shares too, but stripping Mr. Walter of his position can be risky!”“And letting him stay is also risky!”I clenched my jaws and slammed my balled fists on the table, silencing them. I looked at each and every one of them with darkness consuming me.“Did you forget
Serena's POVTyler was in the bar drinking alone when I arrived. I stopped a few meters away from him and watched him drinking. He looked so problematic. The expression on his face is hurting me so much that I feel like I couldn't look him in the eyes tonight.I took a deep sigh. Seeing him drinking like this reminded me of the time he was drowning in pain and he couldn't do anything but accept the situation.He’s alone on the couch and his eyes are glued to the liquor he's drinking.He’s having a hard time and I can clearly see how the situation affected him to the point that he looked really stressed out knowing he was close to his late uncle.I was about to walk towards him when my phone beeped. I received a message from Damon. I squeezed my eyes closed after I read his message.Tyler wanted to take the fall so his children won't suffer.No! I won't let that happen. I will never allow it.I walked fast towards Ty
Serena's POVI couldn't push him away. I know this is wrong because Tyler and I are both committed to someone else but I couldn't push him away. Kissing him felt so wrong and yet so right.The gentleness. The warmth. The comfort. The sincerity. I can feel them all as he pulled my waist closer and deepened the kiss, making me feel even more captivated by the way his lips grazed mine.It's making me tremble. Oh how I wish I could make him stop but my mind isn't functioning well.His tongue explored the insides of my mouth like a diamond hunter seeking for treasure. It was breathtaking. It was nerve-wracking.I couldn't remember the last time we kissed like this, but I can remember the taste of his lips. It feels like the first time. Intense and uncontrollable.I was too weak to resist the temptation and I was only brought back to my senses when someone pulled me away from Tyler and punched his face.“Harry!” I screamed, real
Tyler's POVThe scandal is affecting the company so badly. I don’t know what to do anymore. The more I think about another way, the more I feel I’m gonna fail. This is harder than I expected. I even think this won’t end with me being in jail. It’s making me so stressed out and worried. I wanted this to end silently but I guess that won’t be possible.“Just sell the company, Tyler! Or better sell your shares. This is for the future of the company. They won’t stop until they completely ruin you and if this continues, the company will face its greatest downfall with you.”I clenched my jaws and looked at the shareholders. “I’m not gonna do either of that! I will not let go of this company! Never!”“You are being stubborn!”I swallowed hard. I must find a way. I need to clear my name and that’s the only way I can save myself, the company and my family. I won’t put my family in shame and danger. I will not allow it.“Tyler–”“This meeting is adjourned,” I said coldly.The shareholders didn
Tyler's POVI left all the paperwork and rushed back home only to find Catherine crying in the middle of the messy living room. She was trembling and even flinched in fear when I touched her, not realizing it was me.“N-No! No! P-Please don't hurt me…”“Cath…” I whispered her name painfully as I tried to reach her hand. “Cath, it’s me…”She gasped and looked at me. Her reddish eyes welled in tears once more as she recognized me. She cried harder after throwing herself in my arms, crying like there's no tomorrow.“Shh!” I enveloped my arms around her trembling body. I rested my chin on the top of her head as she hugged me so tight.Seeing her like that pains me and makes me feel more guilty. I shouldn't have left her alone. I shouldn't have avoided her. It’s my fault. Everything's my fault.Catherine fell asleep in my arms, so I immediately called a doctor and the police. It was said that the thugs were caught by the security when they saw what happened in the CCTV.“They forced the do
Serena's POVThe news about how Tyler managed to clean his uncle's name and save his reputation and company made me smile. I was watching the television when the news about it flashed on the screen and I couldn't help but send a message to him to congratulate him.As soon as I pressed the send button, Harry came out of the bedroom while caressing his messy hair.I got so nervous. I know we already talked about what happened in the bar but I think what I did would make him feel annoyed.He sat beside me and immediately wrapped his arm around my waist as he planted a soft kiss on my shoulder.“The bastard’s so lucky, huh,” he whispered, staring at the screen of the television.My forehead creased as I stared at him. I don't like his tone and the way he addresses Tyler made me irritated.I know I messed up and he’s probably still thinking about it but he can't just act like a total asshole.“Why are y
Tyler's POVI’m suspicious of Harry’s real identity now after receiving a report from my private investigator. I don't want to think ill of him because I can see that he really cares for Serena. But however I think of it, I still can’t stop myself from seeing him today.I wanted to make sure that he will keep Serena safe. I’m doing this because she's the mother of my daughter.“Yeah. I’ll be waiting here then.”Clenching my jaws, I drank my shot. He was talking to Serena over the phone. He was in the men’s room earlier when Serena called. Thinking it was urgent, I answered the call.“Hm? We will talk about that later, babe. We’ll go home together.”I swallowed hard and I admit that I felt a pinch in my heart while he's talking sweetly with her. He seemed to be enjoying their conversation, which took more than five minutes.I wanted to punch him because of the darn jealousy I’m feeling but I know I don't have the right to do that. He’s her lover. Of course they'd talk like that.“Hm-hm
