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.

    Felicity’s bright, smiling eyes looked up at Justin. The smile on her face pierced Justin’s heart. His chest tightened at the sight of her. Her smile brightened her face, removing the veil of gloom that blanketed his heart for the past five years.“Lizzy!” Serene’s stern voice made Felicity release her hold on Justin’s leg and take a step back towards her mother.“What did we talk about strangers?” Serene said, looking at her daughter’s eyes with warning.Justin felt a painful blow on his stomach from Serene’s voice. Stranger? Of all the people in the room, she knew best that he’s the child’s father. How could she carelessly say that he’s a stranger? His eyes challenged hers, but she did not budge. Fury met fury. Fire met fire.

    Justin kicked the door to Serene’s studio. He’s glad that he did not hastily ask for this room to be repurposed. It had remained the same over the years. This had been his sanctuary and a silent witness to his struggles.He knew Serene would not easily give him a chance to be with their children. He expected that and was in fact happy that she did that, after all the wrongs he did to her, he expected her to not want him near their children.However, what he hated most was how he pushed her to Crystal. Did she really want him to build a family with somebody else? He hated Crystal even more. She just added another hurdle for him to cross. It’s hard enough to gain Serene’s forgiveness. Add to that Crystal who did nothing but flaunt that he’s her fiancé. Fiancé my ass!H

He also learned that since Serene’s return two years ago, she had been leading Ellis Inc. Under her leadership, she’s able to expand their network. A proud smile left his lips. Serene’s always been sharp and hard working. Her work ethics were admirable, and it’s almost no surprise that she’s doing well in the business world.He looked at the list of establishments she’s doing business with. He sneered as his eyes went over the list. None of the establishments she dealt with had anything to do with Rain International. Apart from the businesses the Lewis’s operated, the businesses she dealt with were mostly small independent restaurants. Even the hotels she supplied their seafood for were mostly

    After venting his anger, he asked his men to trace Serene’s past movements.He’d give it to her for her careful planning. She even thought of getting their children out of the school’s roll. Justin watched the surveillance videos his team put together. It showed Serene and her children leaving her apartment in the morning. Then the different times the city’s surveillance captured images of the car she’s driving at every traffic light she stopped.He watched her and the twins enter a hotel. Then at half past 3, he saw her leave the hotel. He sneered as he zoomed at the image. At first glance, the woman and the children looked like Serene and the twins, but he knew better. The body build, height, even the outfits were the same. It’s easy to pass them as Serene and the twins if you did not pay close attention.

He remained quiet throughout the exchange.Serene chose to not respond to Mary. She knows how hostile Mary could get, especially after what Justin did to her.Mary held her

    Serene’s incoming call cut off their conversation. “Al,” Serene answered her call while getting up from her seat and walking away from the dining table. “How are the twins? Bryan told me what happened.” “They’re safe now, a little shook but safe.” “That’s good. Are you at Justin’s?” “Um…” “That’s fine, Shen. He’s the children’s father. After all these years, and all that has happened, don’t you think it’s time for the twins to know him?” “I don’t know, Al.” “Hey, it’s just my ten cents, Shen. In the end, it’s your call.

    As their car entered his Villa, Serene felt a tug in her heart. This place contained some of her happiest and her most painful memories. She clutched Pax closer to her chest and looked at the sleeping Felicity in Justin’s arms. She looked so peaceful and at home in his arms.Jane, Justin’s helper, could not hide her surprise at the sight of Serene. Her eyes were as wide as her open jaws. It’s been years since she last saw Serene. And it was when Justin ordered her to send Serene away. It broke her heart to see her pitiful condition then. But she was a mere helper, and her master forbade her to help Serene.“Ma-Madam!” Jane could not help but cry at the sight of her. Her smile almost reached her ears.“Jane, good evening,” Serene said, smiling at Justin’s helper.

She sat in the front passenger seat while he drove.Justin looked concentrated on his driving, but he’s biting the inside of his cheeks from anger. The hotel where she and her children stayed was only a couple of blocks away from Hotel Le Grande. She always hid in plain sight, it made him look stupid already.He pushed his anger aside and concentrated on the issue at hand. The kidnappers gave him the location of the meeting. It’s an abandoned warehouse near the pier. They instructed them to leave the money beside a trash can near the entrance.Justin got off the car and did exactly that. After dropping a huge duffle bag beside the trash, he walked awa

    Serene’s vibrating phone cut off the staring contest between her and Justin. Her brows furrowed as she looked at the unidentified number flashing on her screen. “Hello?”“Serene Ellis” a raspy man’s voice spoke on the other end of the line. From the background, Serene could hear children crying.“Yes.” she answered, her voice trembling. Her heart tightened and the angry flush on her cheeks drained.“We have your children --”“Please, please, don’t hurt them. Don’t hurt my babies,” she whimpered. She felt her phone snatched from her hand. Justin put the phone on speaker, not making any sound. The entire room listened in silence.“We won&r
