Chapter 61
Serene’s phone vibrated on the bedside table. With eyes closed, she reached for it only to feel Justin’s hand closing on the phone. He looked at the screen and knit his brows.
“My mom’s calling you, Kitty,” he said sleepily, and handed her her cellphone, then buried his face in her neck.
“Hello?” she asked in her sleep. The voice of Elaina jolted her awake. She asked her to accompany her to go shopping. It was her idol asking her to go out! Who needs to think twice about that? Of course, she agreed to her invitation and got up from the bed, earning a dissatisfied grunt from Justin.
He tightened his hold on her waist and pulled her back into his embrace. “What’s that about,” he mumbled on her neck.

After maneuvering the morning rush hour, their car stopped in front of an art gallery.“There’s a mural that I’d like you to see,” Elaina said before she got out of the car with the help of her driver. Serene followed suit.Entering the gallery, the employees greeted her by name, which simply shows that she’s a regular. Elaina quietly walked inside the gallery until they reached the back wall. On the wall was a mural of an abstract painting. It’s made of randomly splashed paint and bold strokes. However, a hyacinth bloom formed from the splatters if viewed from a specific angle.“Lovely, isn’t it?” Elaina said as they both appreciated the mural. Serene just nodded as she took in the art before her.“

Serene stood frozen, receiving all the fury from Justin’s eyes. Tears accumulated at their edges as the fear in her heart grew. She had never seen Justin furious before, and it scared her witless. “Jus… Justin…” she called him, her voice trembling and was barely audible. However, his senses seemed more acute than usual. His gaze burned into her. Two burning balls of flame looked into her, ready to engulf her and burn her. The joints of his jaws moved from clenching his jaws too much. His lips formed a tight line. “What are you still doing here? Get out! Follow him!” he said through gritted teeth. His nose flared and his fingers trembled as he pointed to the door behind him. Serene’s heart shattered at his words. Her chest tightened from the pain those words gave her. Follow Bryan? Why would she do tha

Serene’s mind kept replaying Justin’s hurtful words. Like a knife, each work he said struck her heart, stabbing it repeatedly until it bled. The taxi driver kept on glancing at her from the rear-view mirror, concern written all over his face. Tears had not stopped falling from her eyes the moment she sat.I need to fix this. She kept repeating in her head. But how? She did not know; all she knew was she needed to make things right. Justin’s furious face flashed on her face. His sharp eyes that ripped her apart. They were just lovingly cuddling this morning. How can everything go south in less than 24 hours?After a while, her taxi stopped at the gate of Justin’s villa. She paid the driver and alighted from the vehicle. With heavy steps, she approached the gate and keyed in the passcode. It beeped to show an incorrect passcode

Feeling the chilly breeze against her body, Serene curled herself like a cooked shrimp. She hugged her knees closer to her torso as she laid on the cold gutter, exhaustion forced her to sleep.A gentle pat on her shoulder pulled her out of her sleep. Her lashes flutter as she tries to open her eyes.“Jus… Justin?” she asked, her voice hoarse and barely got out of her parched mouth.“No, Madame. It’s me Jane.” Jane’s gentle voice and eyes tugged her heart. Her cloudy eyes showed her usual gentleness but today, she saw pity mixed in those gentle orbs. Of course, she pitied her. Who wouldn’t, she slept the night outside of Justin’s villa, exposed from the elements? Serene let out a pained smile. The things she did for love.

It was a dreamless night for her. She’s too exhausted to even dream.She slept like a baby. The warm light from the window, filtered by her curtain, woke her up. Red shadows played on the back of her eyelids as the curtain danced from the outside breeze. She rubbed her eyes and sat on her bed. Hugging her knees and resting her face on them, she could not help but recall the recent events.A gentle pain in her lower abdomen extending to her lower back made her get out of bed and go to the bathroom.

After attending his meetings, Justin sat at his desk buried in a mountain of paperwork. He was back to his old workaholic self.His brows knitted together as he focused on his computer screen. His fingers deftly flew on the keyboard as he composed an email in total concentration. Since their breakup, he buried himself with work. Exhaustion had been his friend. Serene could not invade an exhausted mind and body.“Come in,” Justin said, not bothering to look away from his screen.“Mr. Rain, the Security department sent this external drive containing the security audio and videos of your office for the past quarter. You can review it and let me know if we could delete them,” his secretary said in a single breath.“Ok. Leave it here,

Justin did not know how long he slumped on his office floor. His fist bled from punching the wall. His hands held his temples and his usually tidy hair fell on his face like curtains. He cried uncontrollably. His chest rose and fell as his breathing became laborious; his shoulders shook from his cries. He could not recall the last time he wept this way. He picked up his phone and dialed her number, and just like his previous attempts, an electronic voice told him that the number was no longer in service. He lost her. No, he will not accept it. Didn’t she say she loved him? She will not leave him. The loud ringing of his phone cut off his ramblings. With trembling hands, he looked at the display, but his heart sank when he saw Dylan’s name instead of hers. “Hey,” he choked.
