Laughter filled her ears as soon as she walked into the ward and she arched a surprising brow. She looked in the direction of the bed, she saw her brother was sitting straight and Paige was sitting on a chair close to him. She had no idea what Paige must have said to her brother that made him have such a beautiful smile on his face. The smile was gentle and it brightened his dull face. This scene that she saw when she walked in melted her heart. "Sister" Jordan said as soon as noticed Serene's presence. Serene smiled when she heard her brother's voice and she hurried towards him. "How are you doing?" Serene asked. "I am very well, look at me, I feel so good already" Jordan answered. "Mm" Serene nodded, "that is good". "How are you doing, bestie? I thought it would still take a while before you arrive and I was keeping your brother's company" Paige uttered with a smile. Serene returned her smile and said, "thank you" "Ah, it is nothing, I was just telling Jordan about the new j

"Are you hiding something from me?" Paige asked after a moment of silence. Serene did not raise her head to look at her, she tightened her fingers around her cup and shook her head. "What can I be hiding from you?" She mumbled. "Rene… I know you" Paige uttered with a soft sigh. Serene raised her head and arched her brows. She was only quiet for a moment before she opened her mouth to talk again. "You are not allowed to lie to me" Paige suddenly pointed and said. Serene arched a brow before she helplessly closed the mouth that she opened. She fell speechless. Paige sighed softly and pushed her cup aside, she leaned across the table and faced her best friend. "Rene, did anything happen lately?" Paige asked. Serene lowered her eyes and did not answer immediately, she could not help but think about the question Paige asked her. Did anything happen? Yes, something did happen and it had been making her filled her mind with uneasiness. The man… Steve, he has been treating her diffe
After Serene and Paige had separated ways, the words of Paige kept on resonating in Serene's head, no matter how hard she tried, she could not just stop thinking about it. A soft sigh slipped past her lips and she pinched the space between her brows in exasperation. She pressed her back against the seat of the car and closed her eyes. "Miss, we are at your stop" after a while, the voice of the driver reached her eyes and she opened her eyes. "Oh, thanks" Serene mumbled gently and got out of the car. She paid her fare before turning around and walking away. It was a good thing that the area Steve bought his apartment was a private residential area, if not, she may have been noticed by someone each time she went out but because of the privacy of the area, she could move around easily as much as she wanted without having fear of her identity being discovered. Serene walked to the door and opened it, she entered the door and closed the door behind her. Just as she did, she heard a voic

Serene looked up as her ears picked up the sounds of approaching steps, the doctor in his white overall met her inquiring gaze and he gave a slight nod, he walked ahead of her and she immediately followed after. "How is she feeling now?" She asked the robust doctor who had always attended to her mother as soon as they entered his office, she looked him in the eyes, trying to appear as calm as she can ever be. "Worse". He expressed with a sigh and looked at me with pity. Serene nodded, the response was expected and she understood what he meant quite well, as it was until that moment, they had always said that it was hopeless for her mother to ever become better. She would have to be stuck in her delusions until she die. "Miss, I really don't want to blame you in the past after seeing how relentlessly you have always watched over your mother however, there may have been a little hope if you had brought her here a little earlier" the doctor placed his hands on the table and stared at
"I may be useless, but I won't let you die..." A resolute thought rushed into Serene's mind, her heart was filled with new encouragement and she stood up from the corner she was huddled in. She did not know for how long she had slept but she only knew that she was so depressed that she cried herself to sleep. By the time she rose up, it was already late in the evening and the sky had become darker. She drew in a deep breath and looked at the figure in the bed, after a while, she turned her eyes away and walked out of the ward. Little did she know that just as she had left, the sickly young man on the bed opened his eyes, his thick dark lashes fluttered lazily and his lips were pressed together with difficulty. "Sister..." he blinked, a tear trailed down his pale face and fell on the pillow. Serene flagged down a taxi in front of the hospital building and gave the address of the most popular club to the taxi driver. In a few minutes, the taxi stopped in front of the club and Seren
"About the job, I don't really know much about the job description but I know that it will definitely pay well. You remember Betty White, our classmate in high school who now works as an assistant to a top model in the country? I met her by coincidence in a mall yesterday and she briefly mentioned the job. She did not also say much and just said that her boss needed a lady urgently for a particular job and she was going to pay well. They can't go public about the job for some reason. Anyway, that is not the case now, I was able to get the contact address of the person we can talk to. I really hope you can take this job, so I already helped you to book an appointment with them for tomorrow. I will send you the details too" Paige carefully said.She secretly lowered her eyes and stole a glance at her friend to see what her emotions were like but as usual, Serene's face remained calm and expressionless. There was only a tint of redness on her cheeks that was caused by the alcohol she dra

"Where were you last night? I saw that you called me but I was busy and only saw the call this morning, did something happen?" Amelia asked. In the past, it was always her who called Serene first and because she had instructed Serene to only call her if something happened, she assumed that it was the case when she saw Serene's missed call. Serene's body stilled when she heard the question. She remembered calling Amelia once out of panic when she got the summon from the old chairman. She had even forgotten about this. And after the event of the day before, she did not even remember about the model at all. To think that she even slept with her 'husband' again, she felt a jolt in her heart. "Hey, are you listening to me?" Amelia's voice rang into her ear again. She blinked and pushed back her thoughts. "Mm, I was called over by the old chairman yesterday, I was at his place" she answered truthfully. "You went to see the old chairman? Is it just you or did Steve go with you?" The lady
For a split second, Serene froze with her eyes wide opened. She never expected that he would suddenly kiss her and what's more, he kissed her quite aggressively. She placed her hand on his chest and pushed but, he was too strong for her. She clenched her teeth indignantly, the rim of her eyes reddened in anger but Steve did not consider any of her emotions. Seeing that she would not stop struggling and would not allow him to get into her mouth, he bit her directly on her lips until the metallic taste of her blood hit their taste buds. Serene flinched, she involuntarily parted her lips and the man delved into her mouth. His tongue, hot and slippery overbearingly squeezed into her mouth and swept through every corner. He encroached and attack every part of her mouth and placed his mark on her. Their tongues moved together and their breathe mixed. He licked and sucked, stealing her breathe away until she forgot how to breath. After what seem like forever, Steve eventually let go of he
Serene walked to the house and reached for the door. She walked in and just as she was about to turn on the light, she was pulled into a warm embrace. At first, she was shocked and wanted to scream but when she inhaled a familiar fragrance she calmed down. Serene only allowed him to hug her for a few seconds before her eyes widened and she suddenly pushed his chest. Steve however would not allow her to push him away easily, he grabbed her wrist and looked intently into her eyes. "What are you doing?" He questioned and in return, she stared back at him with her glossy orbs and thought for a moment before returning the question. "Why are you here?" She calmly asked. Steve narrowed his eyes slightly and tge air dropped around them. Serene blinked, she realized that she asked something wrong, she cleared her throat and paraphrased. "I thought your trip this time would be for a few days, did you finish early?" She asked. The cold air dissipated and the man fixed his gaze on her. It
"We are here, madam" the middle-aged man voiced. Serene raised her head and her eyes widened. Where in the world had she come to?! She yelled in her heard when she saw the vast green area, she saw a few old men hanging around the place holding some sort of sticks and a familiar white ball. She had almost even forgotten about the reason that she was there when she looked at the vast land. Who would have thought that behind the mansion, something like this existed?!The golf course was unexpectedly large, it occupied a vast area of land and it stretched over with a green grass carpet. She saw a few of the old men in the area hitting the golf ball with the stick and looking expectantly as it rolled into the hole. It was this scene that she saw and it made her slightly lost."Old Chairman, it looks like your granddaughter-in-law that you invited has arrived!" The sudden announcement cause Serene to snap out of her thoughts and she trembled slightly. Ah, she had arrived…How could she
