CHAPTER 5

Serene 

When I arrived home, I ran into our bedroom, only to discover that my closet was empty. I asked myself , "How could Diego have done this?” We spent about three hours in his attorney's office, and it could not have been him.

I turned to our maid Nora and said, "Who entered our room after I had left?"

"No one did."

"What? How is that possible? My closet was emptied.

"I emptied them for you," Nora replied. 

“What?”

"Oh please quit the act, Serene, you should be grateful I did you a favor imagine how long it would have taken you to get all your stuff together, I do not want Nelly to come here and find you wandering around this house, I have moved all your belongings to the living room, I don't even know what you are doing here," Nora, the maid, reacted. 

"What! Do you know Nelly?

"You must have grown too comfortable being soothed by me; that chapter is over now; my best friend will be controlling this home from now on, and you need to get your ass out of here," Nora said, glaring at Serene with scorn. 

I appeared to have a lot of surprises during the day. First, shortly after our divorce, Diego engaged another lady, and then my lovely and kind maid exposed herself to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, the best friend of my ex-husband's fiancée. I could not believe what I had just heard Nora say .

 Nelly entered the room with her luggage. "Why is she still here?" she questioned Nora. 

"I am sure she is on her way, right?" She responded with an unpleasant face.

Nora and Nelly exchanged high fives and began giggling at me. When Diego walked in, Nora's expression grew sad and disturbed.

"Oh madam, I can not believe you are leaving. I wish I could go with you; please do not forget about me," she begged . 

I knew she was only aiming to blind Diego, so I ignored her as I walked away, but her condition worsened. Nora signalled Nelly to send her away, "Do you want to lose your job?"

"No, Madam, please do not take away my job."She pleaded, relieved, that Diego had no suspicions.

"Good now, get working in the kitchen; my fiancé and I had a hard day and need to prepare for a long night," Nelly remarked, hoping to make me jealous.

Diego said to me "Please do not come here begging for money; if you change your mind, contact my lawyer."

I could not bear the sight of Diego and Nelly hugging. I went to the other room right away since I had forgotten to do something before I left. Nelly followed me as Diego left to take a phone call.

I went into our miscarried child's room and stood near the crib. I looked around at the various teddy bears I had bought for the child, even though it had never come. I tried my utmost to suppress my feelings, but they inevitably poured. "Here you are grieving yourself to death; why would you mourn for a man who never cared about you and a child you could never have dear?” Nelly laughed at at me as she asked

At that moment, I was tired of Nelly's taunting, and because I was not Diego's wife, I couldn't care less how I replied to her. I wiped my eyes and asked, "How does that bother you? Are you not the same lady who abandoned him for another man 5 years ago?"

The inquiry made Nelly feel insulted since she knew I was talking about facts, but because Diego engaged her without considering our five years of marriage, she replied, "Yet I had him caught in my hands, while you were only there to aid him in relieving some pain."

" Serene, you are so shameless. Diego has never looked at you the way he did at Nelly; you should be thankful you did not get to have that child; image how dreadful it would be to be divorced with a child who is not loved by its father," Nora, my maid, remarked as she walked and stood besides Nelly. I could not believe what she saw. Given everything I had done for Nora, it astonished me even more that she turned out to be Nelly's friend.

"I do not trust women like her, who may belong to a scoundrel out there, since my Diego cannot impregnate rubbish," Nelly said. 

"You are both so shameless and disgusting!" I shouted before Diego walked in and inquired what we were arguing over.

Nora rushed to the crib, claiming to have removed the dolls at my request.

"May I keep the golden bear, my love?" Nelly questioned Diego, unknowing that it was a gift from my father.

"No, I will get you another one with your name on it," Diego said.

"No, I am good with this one," she insisted until he agreed.

 When Nelly was about to grab the bear, I grabbed it away. "What do you think you are doing? Give it to her," Diego demanded. 

"No!"

"Serene, " I said, " give it to her," he repeated. 

"Please give me the bear," Nelly asked sweetly, appearing to be kind. 

"Diego, this is not just any bear; my father made it for me and only me, and I am not giving it to anybody," I said. 

"What! "You dare to talk back to me," Diego said. 

“Diego Myers I no longer have any obligations to you, and I will not hand over my father's bear to this bitch."

"Serene!" Diego roared in fury that Nelly had been referred to as a bitch. Nelly begins to wipe away tears, hoping that he will touch me.

"No, I do not understand you anymore. I fulfilled all my duties as your wife, I stood by you during the time she left you for another man, I am the reason you are still alive Diego, your parents got us married hoping you would eventually get over Nelly, I stood by you during their death, and I sacrificed everything I had to help your company during crisis," I said in tears. 

"I went as far as retiring from my dream job to be a full-time wife for you; even when I miscarried our kid, you never showed any compassion for my pains; I recognized that I could not compel you to love me, albeit you only showed it in bed when your hormones were high."I continued. 

"For everything I have done for you, you did not hesitate to return to the lady who left you for another, and you had the nerve to propose to her on our anniversary right after we divorced, huh?” now you want me to give her my bear," I concluded, feeling a big weight lifted from my chest.

"Are you finished now?" Diego inquired, giving me a nasty look, as Nelly purposefully exited the room. 

"Honestly, look at how much you have spent; I want you out of this house within the next 30 minutes," he cried, rushing after me.

Nora and I were the only ones left in the room, and she stopped what she was doing and began mocking me.

"How did you expect him to be affected by those words?" Seriously, what is built in heaven cannot be melted by hellfires like you, and if I were you, I would be out of here immediately," she chuckled. 

My phone rang, and I quickly answered because it was an unknown number.

"Hello," I said to someone on the phone. 

"Evening madam, am I talking to Ms Serene Brights?" the caller politely inquire it.

"Yes, that is me," I said, concerned that Diego might have done anything else. 

"Congratulations, madam, I am calling you from London; your application as the Marketing Director of KATARAYO AGENCY has been approved; please check your email and get back to us once you have made up your mind, thank you," the caller stated before hanging up.

A cry of pleasure streamed down my cheeks as I checked my email; I had applied for this position three years ago, when Diego's firm was in difficulty, and I had now been approved to work with them.

Nora stood there puzzled since she could not hear what the caller said save for the mention of London.

your story is good but there's some confusion as to who is talking in the plot due to some error in grammar but it is understandable as you said it's your first time, you will perfect it eventually. Good luck!

It is now time to start afresh, this time without making any compromises for anyone. Charlotte and Neina are welcome to visit me in London at any moment. I can not understand why they are so unhappy. Charlotte and Neina placed my things in the boot and moved towards me; we hugged before jumping into the car and driving to the airport."Do not forget to inform us when you land," Neina said lovingly.“I won't promise,” I responded with a smile at them."If you forget, we will catch the next flight there," Charlotte said, and we all laughed.The vehicle came to a stop, and we hopped out. I grabbed my luggage and we headed inside the airport, and I started to feel sad and melancholy. I paused and glanced at both of them; Charlotte saw and hurriedly muttered, "Serene, calm down."

    CHAPTER 8 Serene My skirt feels so snug on my body, and I have not worn something so classy in a long time. Throughout my marriage, I always wore clothing that never revealed too much of my body—except for instances where I needed to appear gorgeous. It is my first day at work, and I have donned make-up from Rare Beauty. Selena Gomez's cosmetics are an excellent fit for my skin. I put on lipstick and curled my hair. I had no option but to wear heels; I only hoped I wouldn't walk and fall because I have not worn heels in a long time; else, I will spend time in my slippers. I hurriedly grabbed my purse and dashed out as the driver came. "Good morning, Ms. Brights. I hope you are looking forward to your first day of work," The driver said to me. "Sure, I can not wait either," I said, turning my attention to my phone. Charlotte and Neina continued sending me texts asking if I had arrived at work; I responded and then began gazing at the architecture and charming spots we drove past.

She smiled at me and approached me with an enticing look. I stood up and headed towards her; when we met, I grabbed her up and kissed her. We proceeded to our bed, carrying her in my arms, and gingerly laid her on the plus-sized bed."Hold on," she whispered before I had the opportunity to kiss her.She grinned and picked up her phone. I was curious as to why she had stopped me, so she scanned through her album and finally stopped at a shot. I could not believe my eyes when I viewed the picture."What? You still have that ?" I questioned her."Yes, this was the on

"Wow, I can not believe this," Nelly said, shaking her head. "It is okay, honey; she will be out of our lives for good now; that is the only thing that would have made her come back and cause drama, you know," I said to Nelly, holding her hands as she laid the meal down. "Yes, but I intended to use it for something different," Nelly explained, tugging her face. "What? That is impossible, my darling," I told her in a quiet, calm tone. "I am not sure why you are making such a big deal out of this. It is not like she wants the money. I thought I might put it to good use, perhaps invest in something worthy," I replied, her as she pushed away from the hug. "I am afraid you can't.That money was intended for Serene, and I cannot accept it. It is hers, regardless of what she does with it. We have no right

My birthday is almost approaching, and I recall how alone I felt on that day when I was with Diego. I would have thought that he was staying out late to surprise me, but he was actually doing it to keep me away from him. Sometimes I feel like I was so blinded by one-sided love that I overlooked the fact that Diego did not love me. Fortunately, things have changed, and I will spend my birthday with the most valuable person in my life, aside from Charlotte and Neina. My child is that person; I am not sure what gender it is, but knowing that I love them intensely even when I can not see them brings me so much joy. It is 7 a.m Friday, and I have to be at work by 9 a.m. I hurriedly sprang out of bed and rushed to the shower. I could see how lethargic my eyes appeared in the mirror, but I needed to seem good beca

While everyone else waited, I went directly to the one seat that was clearly mine. The door opened, and someone I did not expect to see walked in. His gaze met mine, and I got shivers. He came in and sat next to me. Lift, his aroma enveloped me and everyone else close to him, and he turned to my side and grinned at me. The agent, on the other hand, smiled at him, believing he was smiling at her. Our boss stepped up and eventually introduced the man I ran into as the company's largest shareholder and a key figure. We waited for the conference to end, and everyone began leaving the boarding room as I packed my things. His stare caught mine, and I experienced goosebumps.I entered my office and took a sip of water. “Serene, please calm down. What exactly are you doing?" I whispered to myself, biting my nails and going over my ideas.

I am looking for Ms. Serene Brights," the man waiting at the door stated to me. I knew he was a puzzle driver merely by glancing at his clothing and reading what was printed on his batch."Is everything OK, Ma'am?" He questioned, perhaps assuming something was amiss with his outfit after I gazed at it for about two minutes."Oh sure, everything is fine. My name is Serene Brights," I said, my mind racing with inquiries.The delivery lad walked to his vehicle and returned with a present bag. He handed it to me, and I immediately signed the paperwork before he departed. Doubts about the present bag being mine began to wash over me. I had not opened it yet, but I could see how expensive everything inside was. I unzipped the bag and withdrew the first box, which contained a stunning dazzling diamond necklace. I held it out and ran my fingertips along its borders.

Charlotte asked and I turned around to hear what she had to say."I think it is about time I go to my apartment," she remarked, and I truly wanted to disagree, but I had to since I was only going to let her go there when she felt stable.“Are you sure?” I asked."Yes, I am ready," she said, but it was not convincing enough."Look you can go but are you sure you are fine to stay alone?’” I asked again and she assured me.“OK fine," I re

I figured he must have come to relieve some of his tension and make the contributions. However, everything fell apart as we locked eyes."Kyrell Harrison," I grinned as I approached him, Sofia following."Nelly Mendoza, what a surprise; I knew you were here but did not expect to see you," he remarked, his gaze fixed on Sofia, and I prayed he did not suspect anything. “Oh, come now, Kyrell. We just happened to run into each other at the same moment. Isn't it a great coincidence?" I inquired, but Sofia chose to talk rather than wait for me to signal. “We were thinking… All those judicial skirmishes must have made you nervous.

I asked Mr. Simon to send me the statistics data because I wanted the most recent information on Katarayo's progress, but I was not even surprised by what I saw. If his shares are not making any money, why in the world is he there? Which could only mean one thing.I quickly scheduled a meeting at the Hotel Bright Lights, and despite Mr. Simon's persistent calls, I declined to respond because we both knew what would happen next. I have done my best to be tolerant and patient with his issues, but it seems like he is abusing my generosity.I hurriedly changed and was ready to take the final step when I noticed Kyrell, who appeared to be grinning at me like never before.“What's with all the excite

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Get back to your seat," the guard yelled, standing between us. At this point, I was ready to be a beast.“Fight! Fight!" The other prisoner kept yelling, but my companion quickly pulled me back."Be cautious, he has killed roughly ten people here; being targeted by him could only mean one thing," he continued, and I needed to know what brought that elephant figure to me."That your enemies want you dead in here, and nobody else performs the job better than him," my pal cautioned, and I could tell by looking at him that death was all he had to offer.Could Serene want me dead? Or is it my damn uncle? Serene would never want my death, at least not while she was still alive; therefore, it was certainly my uncle.Everyone comple

There was nothing she did not know about us, but discovering that she was the traitor in our midst felt like a horrible dream, and the fact that she was closest to my kid just made things worse. I would find a new reason to keep Miguel occupied before admitting that she would never come back in agony. "It is OK, Serene; at least we captured her," Neina murmured, caressing my back."Yeah, I know," I answered, brushing away my tears as I walked to collect my son, who was looking at cartoons. I am not sure how he became addicted, but all of his downloads revolved around it, and the many types of coloring books were something I had to get.“Mommy, why did I see the cops here?" Miguel asked, his little face drowning in worry."It is nothing, ho

We headed to the VIP section, where the agents were getting their items ready.I would have lay down like Charlotte, but it was a bit uncomfortable. The ladies finished giving him massages, and the owner presented some proposals for donations, which they were asking me to attend. I promised them that someone would come from my department to attend. We returned to the car, and another call from the devil came through.“Aren't you going to pick that?"

Serene was one of the most difficult people to persuade, but Kyrell was incredibly successful in bringing her here. She eventually turned around to face me, and our gazes locked. I could feel my heart melting and shivers covering my entire body. I am not sure what my eyes were doing at her lips, but seeing Serene was the best moment in jail."Hi," she said without a grin, and I was not expecting one, but all I wanted to do was take those hands and kiss them."How are you doing? I never thought I would see you again.”"I am OK, and this moment has to come, so now that it is here, we have to confront it," she answered.I could sense the anguish in her voice and could not believe she was so brave. I am probably among the last people she wants to see."I'm sorry for everything. I hope you find it to forgive me someday,” I

When I questioned the maids about her, they said she had gone to get something for her parents, which was unusual because she would typically let me know.
