In those two years, she dedicated herself to her work. She made sure she learned what needed to be learned and to deliver more the expectations. In the brief span of time, she also earned the respect and admiration of her colleagues and superiors. Everyone felt happy about her promotion.
After work, she and her colleagues went to a KTV bar to celebrate her promotion. Food and drinks poured out. Serene gamely sang a couple of songs and drank her fair share of the alcohol. She has forgotten the last time she had this much fun.

The bright and warm sunlight touched Serene’s face. She winced with eyes still closed she pulled herself to a sitting position, resting her head on the headboard. Her throat felt dry and her head was like splitting into two. “Ugh, hangover”, she uttered under her breath. She clutched her head and by doing so, she noticed that only a white blanket covered her and was naked underneath.Her nakedness jolted her awake and immediately pulled the blanket further up to her neck and wrapped it around her body. Her eyes surveyed the room. The place was not familiar to her at all. It looked like a hotel room. She closed her eyes, shook her head, and opened her eyes again. She looked under the blanket that was wrappe

With such a colossal blow, she cannot help but feel weak. Of all the people she would meet, why would it be him. “I do not fuck dead logs,” she sneered at the recollection. “You don’t fuck women is what you should say. Not that I wanted to sleep with you.”The driver told her they have arrived, cutting off her mutterings. She paid the fare and quickly alighted from it. Feeling weak and dazed from her realization, she walked to her work station like a zombie. She stared blankly at her monitor. Her mind stuck to the events of two years ago.She recalled Bryan, specificall

Serene worked like a robot that day. She got through her routine smoothly, like a well-oiled gear, but her mind floated elsewhere. Serene felt like Fate was playing with her. She encountered not only her ex's husband rather embarrassingly, he also turned out to be the new head of their company."Won't it make working here awkward knowing that the same man intersected their lives?" Serene internally pondered."Well, he is so far up the corporate ladder, we’d definitely not interact with a first level people manager like me. Plus, this company is so big and our floors are so far apart from each other. For sure, I will not see him again," she consoled herself.Finally, the time to go home has come and thankfully there was no need for her to go on overtime. She tidied up her things and her workstation, then politely said goodbye to her colleagues and walked out of their department.She felt her tiredness as soon as her head hit her pillow. Immediately,

To everyone’s surprise, without a word, Serene got up from her seat and went out of the room. She did not care about the incredulous look of her colleagues, not to mention the dark face of her Director, Mr. Kim.She just wanted to get out of that place as quickly as she could. Her chest tightened, her eyes burned. She further hurried her steps and went straight to the nearest washroom. She locked herself up in the first vacant cubicle that she saw.Alone, her tears fell down from her eyes. She suppressed her sobs lest other people would hear her. “They both have to be here,” she muttered. Her emotions were a mess. She felt confused, surprised, angry, depressed all at the same time. Like her feelings, her thoughts were also a mess. She cannot understand why of all the places in the world she ended up working here. While she was happy with her work and the people she worked with, with those two here, how can her life be peaceful again?She though

“It’s not what you think,” It was Bryan who spoke and met Justin’s inquiring eyes. His voice cold and detached.“And what am I thinking, huh?” Justin’s eyes challenged Bryan’s. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Serene felt trapped between two boulders about to clash on each other.“Mr. Rain,” Serene finally found her voice. “Mr. Cooper and I knew each other from when I was in college. We have not seen each other for quite some time. Let me assure you that there is nothing going on between the two of us,” she explained in a single breath.She’s not sure if the person in front of her believed her because the moment she opened her mouth to explain, the darker his expression became. “I’ll go ahead first, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Rain,” with that she hurried forward to the direction where she parked her car, not even waiting for either of them to respond.Not daring to l

She looked at him squarely. Although she might look like she's able to hold up in a fight, deep inside she's already feeling very weak. "I ensure you I will maintain my professionalism and will not allow our past to affect my work performance," she added to stress that in the end, she was here for work and not to wreck homes.He raised his brows. His mouth twitched as if wanting to say something, but decided against it. He then knit his brows and stared at her. The ice daggers coming out of his eyes were all directed at her.Ex boyfriend. Who would have thought that he would pave the way for these old flames to meet again? He wanted to punch himself in the face for convincing Bryan to return to the country and work for him.“So, he’s the 'Bry' you called that night?” he said with an eyebrow raised and a mouth raised to a smirk; his tone laced with sarcasm.“Excuse me, what?” She knitted her brows, trying to recall when did sh

He stopped leaning on his table and walked towards her. He reached out to her, but she stepped back.“Don’t you dare come near me or touch me”. She no longer cared about the designation of the person in front of her as she angrily shouted at him.“Shen, just let me explain--”“Serene! And don’t waste your breath. I don’t need to hear your excuse or your lame explanation. Nothing can change the fact that you chose to lie to me.” She took one deep breath and continued, “Bryan, you knew how much you mattered to me. But you threw that all away the moment you decided to lie to me. Did you think I will never find out? Did you think you can continue doing what you did with him and still keep me on the side?” She looked at him from head to toe. Her eyes were

Justin saw Serene get in Bryan’s office. With a scowl on his face, he followed her. His curiosity got the better of him and he eavesdropped. At first he hardly heard anything, but his brows slowly lifted when he heard both parties raising their voice to one another.He then furrowed brows as he listened to their exchange. Unable to stand it anymore, he turned around and walked away. He had just taken a few steps when the door opened and Serene immediately bolted out of it.With bloodshot eyes and tears streaming down her face, she marched out of the room. Oblivious to her surroundings, she almost bumped on him. She did not even bother stopping. She just walked quickly, as if escaping an attacker.

Serene and Justin were co-parenting for the past six months, and it had been a bliss so far. Every Friday night, he’d have dinner with Serene and the twins at her place. After dinner, he would take the children with him. They agreed weekends were his, but he preferred to spend Sundays as a family. They would go to parks, museums, or hang out either at his place or hers. He would then drive Serene and the children back to her place at Hyacinth Bay.As for the two of them, they’re building trust at their own pace.

After their lunch, the group transferred to the nearby hotel. She and Justin watched their children play in the pool in silence. Her eyes soften at the sound of their laughter. It still fascinated her to see how much they’ve grown.“So, you guys back together?” Mary asked as she walked towards Serene and handed her a glass of juice.“No,” Serene answered, then sipped the beverage Mary gave.“Hm… I like to remind you, Shen, how difficult things were for you in the past,” she said, throwing a glance at Justin. 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

The weekend finally came. Vivienne instructed him to go to Lewis Tower. From there, he took the helicopter going to Pines City. He could not help but sneer. He and his team focused on the airport when she used a helicopter to shuttle to and from Hyacinth Bay.Thinking alone that he’d see her and their children, he could not help but feel excited. The weekday felt like a drag for him. He wanted to fast forward the days, so it’ll be the weekend and he’d finally be able to spend time with Serene and the twins.His heart thumped in his chest as soon as his foot touched Pines City ground. His palms felt sweaty and cold. The food park occupied part of the mall’s outdoor space. It’s composed of many stalls featuring various cuisines.Vivienne welcomed him upon arrival.

Seeing her packing their things shattered his world. She’s running away again. He just had a taste of how it felt to be a part of the twins’ lives and she’s taking them away.He knew he hurt her before, but he wanted to make up for it if only she’d give her a chance. One chance to make it right and prove to her how much they mattered to him. A single chance is all he wanted.He has not asked her about it yet, but here she is packing her luggage, poised to run away again. They’ve been playing cat and mouse for such a long time, it has become tiresome. How long would it take him to find them again this time?He sat at the edge of Serene’s bed. His elbows dug into his knees while his hands held his head. With his head down, a veil of dark hair fell on either side of his face. His slu

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. By the way, if you have time, come down to Pine City. Susie tho

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.

Justin picked Serene up from the hotel she stayed in. There was no longer a need to hide from him since she needed to work with him to rescue her children. 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
