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
Serena's POVHarry sighed and pulled me closer to him. He planted a soft kiss on my temple and caressed my arm.“I know this is too sudden, but I’ll give you a week to think about it, Serena. I really want to spend the rest of my life with you.”I don't know. Yes, I love Harry but I couldn't find myself to say yes quickly to this marriage. I have already failed in my first marriage and I admit I’m still scared to get married again. I don't wanna experience the same pain and loneliness I’ve felt with Tyler.I married Tyler out of responsibility. All because he got me pregnant and now, Harry's reason to marry me is because he loves me and still I’m hesitant.It was one weekend when I met with Selena. She said yes when I asked her out and she immediately felt my inner battle.“Come on, Serena. Tell me what's bothering you.”I looked at her while playing with my fingers. We're in a coffee sh
Serena's POVI drove to Harry's house and caught him sitting on the couch in the living area, strumming a guitar.My lips parted, realizing he knows how to play guitar too. His fingers were so skilled as he strummed the strings smoothly, not even showing a single mistake.I was watching him playing the guitar when his face changed and it became Tyler's face.I took a rugged breath and that's when Harry noticed me. He looked shocked seeing me today. I can say he wasn't expecting me to come today since I couldn't answer his proposal and he gave me a week.“Serena…” He dropped the guitar on the coffee table and walked towards me.I met him half way and kissed him aggressively, pushing him back to sit on the couch.I’ve got my answer. I don't need to think about it anymore. After seeing Catherine and Tyler happy together, I think I deserve to be happy too and Harry could give me that happiness. I will not let this
Serena's POVI’m packing our clothes for the family trip today while Harry is taking a shower. I still couldn't believe that I’m going on a family trip with Catherine and Tyler, and Harry's accompanying me.Half a year ago, Tyler was my husband and now, we're just co-parenting Millie.It sounds so absurd. Tyler broke up with Catherine before and then we had a one night stand, forcing us to marry each other. Now we're divorced and have a separate life and partners. I can't say we're friends because I don't wanna be friends with him. I’m just acting civil with him for Millie.Harry used his car when we picked up Millie. Catherine and Andy are getting in Tyler's car when we arrive. The latter was carrying Millie while standing beside the car.“Mommy! Uncle Harry!” Millie excitedly greeted us.I smiled and kissed her cheeks, “Hello, sweetie. How are you?”“I’m fine now, mommy. Daddy took care of me.”I smiled again and looked at Tyler. He was staring at my face while carrying Millie. I fe
Serena’s POVA child with Harry? I don't know. Until now I've been using contraceptive pills. I don't know if it's because I’m still not ready or if I developed a trauma after losing a child.I smiled at Millie and caressed her hair. “I'm not sure but I want to spend time with you for now. I want you to be with me and uncle Harry after we got married.”She looked at me with hesitance before she finally nodded and smiled, “Okay, mommy.”I was bothered and couldn't help but ask. “Is there something wrong, sweetie?”“I just…thought I’d miss daddy. If I live with you and uncle Harry, I won't be with daddy all the time. But…”“But?”She smiled, “But I think it's okay because Andy needs him more.”I smiled and kissed her cheeks. “Thank you for understanding our situation, sweetheart. Don't worry because mommy and daddy love y
Tyler's POVIt was etched in my mind. I couldn't forget it. Everytime I close my eyes, I could see her happy face with him but every time I tried to reminisce about our past, I could only see her misery and how we broke each other's heart, how I neglected her.I regret everything now. I regret not coaxing her when she's mad at me. I regret shouting back whenever she shouts at me. I regret turning my back whenever she needs me.This feels terrible. The last thing I remember about our marriage was the pain and suffering and last night I heard how she loved to be with him.Her moans, her groans for pleasure and her cries to reach that highest part of lust—everything is etched on my memory.It was so painful. I couldn't accept it. I couldn't accept that she's happy again and I’m no longer the reason.I couldn't listen to them because it breaks my heart. I couldn't even face them, so I ran away.The torturous memory of what happened that night kept lingering in my mind. It's so hard to for
Serena's POV“Relax,” Selena said while chuckling. She was holding my hand while we're waiting for the staff to prepare my wedding dress. I’m gonna fit it today and I’m really really nervous especially now that Harry's not with me.We've been preparing our wedding for almost a month now and although he actively participated, I feel like there are times he wasn't really with me. He would get distracted by something I couldn't figure out but I’ve been trying so hard to understand him.Maybe he's just nervous and excited like me?“What’s wrong, Serena?” Selena asked worriedly again, looking at my face.I glanced at the door before looking at Selena again. “Nothing.”She sighed, “Is this because of Harry not being here?”I bit my bottom lip. I don't wanna be clingy but I actually want him to be here as I fit my wedding dress.“Cheer up! What if he's actua
