Serena's POVI know I lost control. It's been so long since it happened to me. For the past years I was able to control my emotions but I was unable to hold it in anymore. It slipped and I didn't realize it.Losing people I love would always trigger my depression. I was able to hold myself together when I lost Tyler because I feel like I didn't really lose him. He was still there but now…losing Harry. I feel like…I just lost my capability to fly.“Serena…”I was brought back to reality when my therapist, Celeste, called my name. She sighed after she sat on her chair and looked me in the eyes.“How have you been?”I pressed my lips together and looked down. I don't know what to say. I know she already saw the answer in my eyes.“I didn't see you for so long. Why don't you tell me everything that happened to you?”I took a deep breath and swallowed hard. I felt like my chest was tightening. It's making it hard for me to breathe.“I…I divorced my husband, Tyler…”She stared at me and nod
Catherine's POVI had no choice but to follow Adam to an exclusive restaurant after he threatened me. He was smirking and seemed to be enjoying the emotions he could see in my eyes.I didn't know he was an asshole. I just had fun with him before because he looked and acted like a rich man. He lured me and fooled me. It was too late when I realized he's poor as fck.“How have you been? You seemed to be glowing, huh? Have you been fcking Tyler Walter? Was he better than me?”I gritted my teeth. “There's no doubt he's better than you. In every aspect.”His jaw tensed as his gaze sharpened. He looked at me with hatred in his eyes, enough to make me feel threatened.“You gold digging btch! You have always been thirsty for money. What if I tell you I’m rich now, huh?”I laughed sarcastically. “You think you can fool me?”He smirked and crossed his legs. “People can do things unimaginable, Catherine. You should be grateful I’m still smitten by your beauty. I still want to fck you even when y
Catherine's POVI don't know what to do. I can't just steal from Tyler. Aside from not having access to his money, he would immediately find out if I steal from him.Thinking about what he wants and his threats frustrates me.Money. He wants money or he will tell Tyler about Andy. I can't lose my son! No! He's the only reason why Tyler chose me. He's the only reason Tyler stayed with us. I can't lose the child. Besides, I have loved him like my own son. Andy is mine and I won't let that Serena take him and Tyler away from me. I will now allow Adam to do that to me.After talking to Adam, I calmed myself down and went to Tyler's office. I was walking with confidence along the hallway. Everyone's turning their heads at me and I felt so proud. Walking here as Tyler's fiancee is already this joyful, what more if I'm already his wife? The people here will call me Mrs. Walter and they will respect me so much that I can even tell them to kiss my feet.Thinking about it made me smirk. Tyler's
Serena's POVThe hospital is not really busy. So I took a half day. I planned to clean the house today to somehow distract myself. I’m also taking Celeste's advice to not stress myself with work.Plants. I ordered different plants to put in my little garden. I watered it before I decided to bake some cookies. I will visit Millie and Andy later but I don't have ingredients.I decided to buy ingredients. I used my car and just parked it in front of my house. When I was about to go back inside the house, I bumped into a little kid, who’s crying so hard.“Andy?”I looked around and kneeled in front of him. I gently wiped his tears because seeing him cry breaks my heart.“Aunt S-Serena…”I held his hands as I looked at him softly. “What happened, my love? Why are you crying? Why are you here?”He looked down and sobbed, “I-I want to be with you, Aunt Serena…”I felt my heart clenching. I felt so touched but I know he has a problem. I can feel it.“What’s wrong?”A pair of shoes stopped bes
Serena's POVWhile Andy's sleeping, I left Celeste with him. So I can bake the cookies. Besides, she told me she could stay a little longer. It took me three hours until I finally perfected my cookie and I immediately went back to the living area with it and two glasses of juice for me and Celeste.“Have some snacks,” I said and put the tray of snacks on the coffee table.Celeste smiled. “Thank you. What is his name again?”“Andy. He looks like his father, right?”He really look like his father. It seems like they're mold from the same clay.She nodded. “Yeah. Just like a mini Tyler.”I chuckled. “Andy and Millie make me happy. Seeing them together gives my heart joy. I feel like everything is fine as long as I can see them.”“Then, you should always visit them. Why try taking them on a vacation?”“That sounds nice,” I answered, smiling.Silence followed after that. I fixed my gaze on Andy who's still sleeping peacefully on the couch. He moved a little and I chuckled when his lips pro
Serena’s POVI looked in the direction where Catherine's car disappeared before I turned to Celeste. She was looking at me apologetically. Maybe she realized Catherine heard what she said but to me, it's actually nothing. It just really made me confused as to why some people mistook Andy as my son.I sat on the couch where Andy sat earlier. I stared at the cookies and felt a hollow in my heart.I never gave birth to a boy the same age as Andy, but it would be a very great opportunity to experience giving birth to a boy.Celeste sat beside me and caressed my shoulders. When I looked at her, I saw comfort in her eyes. “I need to go. You go to Millie and give her those cookies, okay?”I smiled at her and nodded. “Thank you, Celeste.”After she left, I went back to the kitchen and put all the cookies I baked into a box. I’m gonna visit Millie today and will spend some time with her. I was thinking of considering Celeste's idea of going on a vacation with Millie. I wanna take Andy with us
Tyler's POVI kept on visiting Serena but I’m not showing myself to her. I’m both ashamed and worried to show myself. I’m ashamed because I failed to protect her and I’m worried because showing myself would only hurt her again.I’m currently in my office, staring at the screen of my computer. Serena's face is all over my mind and I can't forgive myself for what I’ve done. Truly, regret is always in the end. I want her back but I don't know how. She loved someone else and that person ruined her just like what I did. I remember the happiness in her eyes when she’s with Harry. I remember how she looked at him. It was the same look she had with me before. She's in love, but got her heart broken again.“Sir, your meeting will be in fifteen minutes.”I blinked continuously before nodding. After my secretary closed the door, my phone on the table rang.My heart immediately raced seeing Serena's number. I took a deep sigh before answering the call.I don't know how to talk to her but I manage
Serena's POV“How have you been?”I looked at Tessa Walter. She was looking at me with gentleness in her eyes and I admit I’m not used to seeing her looking at me like this. She used to hate me and the way she behaves around me now is new to me.“I’m fine.”She nodded and glanced at the staircase. Millie is now in her room to clean herself. I actually volunteered to help her but she said she could handle it herself. Now, I’m left here in the living area with Tessa Walter.“I know I hurt you before with the way I treated you, Serena…”Is she gonna open up now? I’ve been wanting to talk to my mother-in-law like this but I never had the chance because she won't open her world to me.She smiled weakly. “I never hated you. I’m just…I was just a toxic mother-in-law who wanted her son for herself only. I don't want him to be taken away because I treasure my son more than anything. It was too late when I realized you don't have plans to take him away. You only wanted to be part of our family…
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
