Chapter 68
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.

Time flew quickly. In just a wink, Serene had celebrated the twin’s second Birthday. Unlike their first where her parents and the Lewis’s flew over to celebrate, this time she wanted to have a simple celebration with just the three of them.She opted to take the children to the zoo. Her toddlers enjoyed the trip. Each animal fascinated them. Since they’ve just been learning about animal sounds, they imitated the roars and hisses of the animals they saw. At the end of the trip, Serene pushed the cart of her babies as they soundly slept.Life had been good to her since she left Coast City.

The twins got up soon as the sun’s rays touched the curtains. Each had been planting kisses on her face.“Mom, wake up,” Felicity’s adorable voice said as she pulled on her arm.She lazily opened her eyes and looked at the smiling faces before her. What a way to wake up each day, she said to herself.“Good morning, babies! Give Mama a kiss, please,” she said and pouted her lips. Pax hopped on her lap and kissed her waiting lips, followed by Felicity. She tickled each one of them, making them shriek with laughter.She quickly changed their diapers and pajamas and gave them thawed breastmilk. When they were settled, the trio marched to the kitchen for a quick breakfast. She had buttered toast while the twins had scrambled egg

It chartered them to Nevada, and from there they took another plane going to Saffron City.

In 24-hours, she had once again stepped to Coast City after three long

The mountain of work that her father left occupied Serene’s time for the past months. There had been a lot of things she needed to learn and do in a short amount of time. She’s thankful that Albert had been there to assist her. Subconsciously, she thought of Justin. His business acumen would really help her this time, but just like the previous times she thought of him, she immediately buried the thought down. As much as she could, she did not want to remember him.She massaged her back as she took a quick breather from all the documents in front of her. Albert convinced Conrad to put up a canning business as a contingency. That way, their harvest would always have a consumer and would not depend heavily on the orders from hotels and restaurants.Since the canning business is still in its infancy, there are a lot of things that need to be esta

Justin once again stared at Serene’s picture with their children. They happily ate at a family diner in New York. He let out a sigh. The photo had been with him for the past two years. Since then, there had been no news about her or their children. Justin’s heart tightened. His children were probably four or five years old now. He had been longing to see them for the past four years.Each day and night he wondered how they were, especially Serene. Did she get married? The thought of her marrying another man was a torture he endured every day.A gentle knock on the door brought him back to reality. He put the photo back in his drawer before saying, “Come in.”When the door opened, a tall, modelesque woman came in. Anyone who saw her would describe her as sophisticated and beautiful. Anyone but

She established a gallery in Coast City two years ago. Did that mean she’s back? How could he not know about it? Justin paced the whole exhibit venue in search of a familiar figure. How he missed her. He heard his heart felt like it was beating in his ear, it felt as if it’s beating in his throat. Excitement pumped his veins as he scanned each person in the venue but after spending almost an hour of searching, he still did not find her. He’s convinced that Serene did the painting and it was not a mere random coincidence as the artist Felicity Pax explained. He looked at the gilded card on his hand. He traced it to calm his nerves and left the venue without telling his mother. He left her a message and asked for his driver to pick them up. As for him, he went straight to the airport.
