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 POVI drove the car speeding through the skyscrapers, letting the wild wind hit my face. The engine roared louder as the fire inside me tended. I was tempted to try and see what would happen if I put the gas pedal to the metal. Would it save me from this terrible marriage? I'm Serena Anson, a miserable joke who had once again caught her husband's betrayal.I looked aside at the passenger seat where a pile of pictures of my husband embracing and kissing another woman was present. My marriage with Tyler Walter started from an accidental one-night stand and now he was revenging me by sleeping around with his sluts. I won't agree to a divorce, for the sake of my daughter Millie. I don't want her to grow up in a broken home. Taylor has taken advantage of this situation, and now he's become even more brazen, appearing on the front pages of entertainment and financial newspapers with different female companions. As I caught sight of the familiar villa gates, the specter of death f
Serena's POV“Are you just gonna let him do this?” Selena, my cousin, sitting in the passenger seat, asked worriedly. Our resemblances were very evident but our characteristics were actually opposite.“How could you let him do this to you? Have you lost self-respect?”I sighed while driving. “There's nothing I can do, Selena. He’s my daughter's father. Besides, he's from the most powerful family in this country. It's not that simple to divorce a Walter.”“But he’s disrespecting you!” She groaned. “You can’t settle with someone like him. Find another man who will satisfy you in everything.”I shook my head. “I don’t need romance.”When was the last time I slept with my husband? I don’t remember. I just woke up one day that we’re in this situation. We’re cold towards each other and it started after I caught him with another woman.I’ve lost my faith in our marriage the moment he cheated and I know it cannot be redeemed. It was only Millie who was making me hold on to it.“Come on, Seren
Serena’s POVI lifted my face and looked at Maria. She’s obviously panicking as she tries to caress my shoulder to calm me down. “S-Serena, it might be a mistake. Millie was still shocked and she must’ve mistook that man for her father.”Slowly, I stood on my feet and gripped the phone in my hand tight. There’s no way my private investigator would make a mistake. Besides, the photo clearly shows my husband’s delighted face while carrying the child.“Mommy! Does my daddy hate me?”I immediately carried Millie carefully and caressed her cheeks, wiping her tears. I felt like crying too. My daughter’s tears are my weakness. I don’t wanna see her crying and I’ll make Tyler pay for hurting our daughter.I sniffed and shook my head. “That’s not daddy.”“B-But…”I pressed my lips on her cheek, long but gentle. “That’s not daddy, sweetheart. Daddy is working.”She looked at me with eyes full of tears although it had stopped rolling down her cheeks. “You’re not lying?”I shook my head. I am but
Serena’s POVI fell asleep sitting and crying on the couch. It was already morning when I opened my eyes again. I was already lying comfortably on the couch. A soft pillow was under my head and a thick blanket was covering me.Slowly, I got up. It must be Maria’s doing.I rubbed my eyes. My vision wasn’t clear and I could feel that my eyes were swollen badly for some reason. I still feel exhausted. I still feel drained... I think I need a cold shower.“I’m glad you’re now awake.”I dropped my eyes on Maria before I roamed my eyes around.“Your husband didn’t go to work. He brought Millie to the Pediatrician clinic to have her checked again.”I nodded. “Can you prepare a coffee for me? I’ll just take a quick bath.”“You don’t look good. Are you going to the hospital today?”I nodded. “I temporarily switched shifts with a coworker yesterday, and I have to fill in today.”I was driving my car silently when I saw a huge public screen. The timing was perfect because the traffic light turne
Serena’s POVMy anger was dripping so the best choice was to ignore her. I didn’t smile back or what. I just continued walking. I successfully walked past her but she suddenly called my name which made me stop for some reason.“You’re Doctor Anson, right?”Doctor Anson. Right! I forgot I refused to change my name even when I married Tyler. My name is the only memory I have of my parents. I don’t wanna lose it. Having Millie to carry her father’s name is enough for me but I guess Tyler misunderstood my intention.“I’m sure you’re Doctor Anson. Can I have a minute with you?” Catherine is now in front of me. The child with her was looking at me and I immediately noticed something wrong in his eyes. However, his resemblance to my husband is really distracting.“Uhm… Is your shift over? I’m sorry this is just really urgent. I need your help.”I lifted my face to look at Catherine again. She need my help? About what? Is she going to ask me to let go of Tyler so they can finally be together?
Serena’s POVCatherine looked at me and Tyler alternately. Confusion was written on her face until she suddenly gasped and cupped her mouth as if she realized something. Her eyes were widening as she slowly turned to me with a shocked expression on her face. As if finally realized that I was Tyler's wife.“Are you saying I misunderstand everything? I saw it, Serena! You even made a child kneel!”I balled my fists. “Did I tell them to kneel? Did you hear me say it?”Catherine cleared her throat nervously. “I-I’m sorry…I have no intention of creating a mess. I just…I just want my son to get better. I don’t want his future ruined… I’m sorry…”I turned to her again as my eyes remained cold and sharp. “I told you I’m not the one who can help you—”“I recommended you to her because I know you can help Andy, Serena! But what did you do? You took this personally and you coldly pushed them away! You are so cruel!”I stared at him. He’s been disappointing me ever since our marriage started fall
Serena’s POVI have settled a date to talk to Damon about the divorce. He doesn’t know it was me since it was my private investigator who inquired and the schedule was set for next week.“Mommy, can I bring this with me?” Millie asked innocently as she hugged her big stuffed toy.Summer break has come and I asked Selena’s parents to take Millie with them to their summer vacation. I had to do this for my daughter’s sake. I don’t want him to witness how I would end the relationship between me and her father. I know my decision will also cause chaos since Tyler keeps on refusing to divorce, so taking Millie out of the picture is the best way to keep her from the pain.I will just…explain the situation to her soon. When the right time comes, of course.Caressing Millie’s hair, I smiled and nodded, “You can bring all the toys you want.”I watched her as she picked the toys she wanted to bring. Aside from keeping her out of the mess, I’m scared that Tyler would use her against me. Take her
