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
Serena's POV“Tyler, what is wrong with you?” I angrily asked while gritting my teeth.[S-Serena…] His voice cracked as if he was shocked by the sudden anger in my voice.“You ruined me! Now I finally found someone who will make me happy, you'll ruin it too? What is it that you really want? Why can't you allow me to be happy?”[Serena, that wasn't my intention. It’s just that…]Not his intention? Then what is it that he wants?“What? I can't think of any reason why you want me to delay my own wedding, Tyler. I’ve been trying to get along with you for Millie but…but what are you trying to do?”[Serena, we’ll talk when I get back there. Please! Just…listen to me. I don't want you to get hurt—]“I won't get hurt! I’ll be very happy if I marry Harry, so please…don't try to ruin my happiness.”I ended the call afte
Tyler's POV“What is this?” I asked Damon when he handed me a small envelope.He sighed and sat in front of me. “Serena's wedding invitation. The wedding will happen the day after tomorrow.”I massaged my forehead and gritted my teeth. “I need to find evidence that Harry is not what we think, Damon. Serena will only think I’m trying to ruin her happiness. I need to find something that will prove Harry approached her on purpose.”“I know,” Damon answered. “My private investigator will contact me later for that. For now, get a plane ticket. You need to get there before the wedding.”I pressed my lips together and stared at the screen of my phone.Serena…I’m sorry for what I did to you and for what I will do later. Saving you from him is the least thing I can do to somehow make it up for all my mistakes.*** Serena's POV“What are you talking about, officer? Are you sure about this?” I angrily asked the officer as Chris Walter carried his wife and ran to bring her to the hospital, unable
Serena’s POVI caressed my cheek where Catherine's palm landed. I could feel the stinging pain her slap left on my face. She was looking at me with fury burning in her eyes and that fire was so alive.No! No, that’s not true! Tyler is not dead and I will prove it to them.I don't know. All I know is I need to make sure that Tyler is safe. I need to make sure he's safe and he's breathing. For Millie. For Andy…“This is your fault, Serena! You wench!”“Shut up, Catherine!” I growled at her. “I don’t want any of these to happen and if I have to search the freaking sky to find him, I will! He’s my daughter's father and losing him like this will never cross my mind!”I turned to Andy and he's looking at us with fear in his eyes. He's scared because Catherine and I are fighting and I know he shouldn't see this.“What should I do? What should I do? Oh! Tyler!” Catherine cried and fell on her knees.I swallowed the lump in my throat, trying so hard to calm down in spite of the situation. I nee
Serena’s POV“Replay it,” I said lifelessly, staring at the monitor where a video keeps on playing.I couldn't stop the welling tears in the corner of my eyes seeing how Tyler rode that plane. The video ended after he entered the plane and I was so sure he got on it. The same plane that crashed.I gripped the corner of the table and squeezed my eyes closed after I watched the video for the nth time today.Behind me was Uncle Charlie, caressing my back, comforting me.Tyler got on the plane. He…got on it.“Serena…”Beads of tears fell on the table where I was leaning. The video kept on playing and I couldn't take my eyes off of it.“Stop the video. Serena, come here.” Uncle Charlie tried stopping me but I didn't.I snatched the mouse from my Uncle's intel and played the video again, hoping the familiar face in that footage will change and I’m just hallucinating.“Serena!” Uncle Charlie grabbed my wrist.I was so weak and he managed to pull me away from there and pushed me to sit on the
Serena's POV“No,” Chris Walter shook his head. “No! No, it’s too dangerous.”“We don't have a choice!”Chris groaned, “Serena, they want Catherine to bring the heirloom. If they find out we tricked them, Andy will be put in danger.”“I’ll do it!” Catherine pulled herself up and wiped her tears. “I’ll go to get my son back.”“No,” I said coldly. I will go. The heirloom belongs to my father and I will save Andy, I’m sure.She looked at me with hatred, “I’ll go, Serena! It’s my son!”“You're too emotional to go, Catherine.” I said angrily.She let out a sarcastic laugh, “Don't tell me what to do, Serena! I’ll go to save my son and you can't do anything about it! Don't act like you're the only hope we have—argh!”I watched her as she lost her balance, caressing her stomach. The maid immediately helped her to sit back on the couch and I swallowed hard, watching the pain on her face.What’s wrong with her stomach?“I won't allow you to go,” Chris shook his head again.I stared at Catherine
Serena's POVTears continued rolling down my cheeks helplessly as I looked at Harry, trying to get answers from his eyes but I could only see coldness in it. He wasn't saying anything. He should be explaining now but he's not. He's just standing there looking at my face. On his left hand was a gun just like his cousin.My lips trembled as I sucked my breath and wiped the tears on my cheeks.Crying for someone like him isn't worth my time. I should stop shedding tears for a person who played me for a fool. However, I still want to hear his reasons. I deserve an explanation, right?“Why?” I breathed, staring into his eyes with hatred.“And here comes the drama!”I squeezed my eyes closed hearing that sarcastic remark from Harry's cousin. He was still standing a few meters away from me, watching like we're in some kind of a heavy drama.For a moment, I saw emotion cross Harry's eyes. “S-Serena…”I let out a sarcastic laugh and stared into his eyes. “Why did you do that to me, Harry? Why?
Tyler's POVAn hour before the plane crash…I was standing, sitting in the waiting area of the airport, waiting for my flight. I can't think about Serena's wedding. I know she won't delay the wedding just because I asked her to. For her, there's no reason to delay it but I need to stop the wedding before she marries an evil man.Damon and I have discovered everything about Harry's family and I already got the evidence that he approached Serena because of his rage towards my family.When my flight was called, I grabbed my luggage and followed the instructions. I was not in my right mind. I kept on thinking about what I'd do to stop the wedding. Will I get there on time? I hope so. I already calculated the time but I'm still worried.“Ty!”I was shocked to see Damon on the plane. Today's not his flight. He’ll stay here for a week because of his family but why is he here?He grabbed my luggage that I was about to
Serena's POV“Fcking kill me now! Just like what you fcking want!” Tyler shouted angrily at Harry who didn't move. He was just looking down and seeing his face hurts me.My mind traveled back to our memories. Walking on it to reminisce hurts me now. From the very first time we met and how I slowly fell in love with him because of how he took care of me and how he cares for my daughter. It turns out…everything was planned. Everything was scripted.I should've taken the hint when I saw the painting in his house and he got so mad when he saw me almost touching it. I shouldn't have stopped myself from doubting. I was so stupid!“Why d-do you have to involve my family, Harry? Why my children?” Tyler's voice cracked.I swallowed hard, watching them.“You have all the chances to kill me. You could've just hurt me without involving my family.”I can see how Tyler is struggling to hold himself and his anger. He couldn't accept that his children experienced all those evilness because of him. Of
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
