(Serena's POV)Lying in bed as the fused warm light of dawn now creeps down the summit. My head was everywhere. I cannot sleep a wink last night, not even closing my eyes for a second. My mind is empty.My heart is in pain.-Your job is done. Thank you for everything-His voice keeps running through my head. Every time I closes my eyes, his no emotions pale blue eyes stared at me like I was just a mere stranger to him now.It pains me.But I deserved it.Did I?A knock on the door jolted me on my bed. "Housekeeping."It's Marcus's servant.I let her in to change the bed sheet and clean the whole room while I am gazing down the balcony where Marcus's employees are having fun on their own.This is not a team building. It seems like a vacation for his people. I smiled to know that he still care about his people even though he does not express it while at the company.Here I am again... Thinking about Marcus.Finally, I'll be leaving him.This is what I want, this is what I was hoping
(Marcus's POV)The freedom I experience while riding a bike, no matter where I am or where I am going, is something special. On a cycle path, I never feel compelled to take the same path twice. I have the freedom to travel where my will leads.I can travel whenever, wherever, and as swiftly as I like. My travels are entirely dependent upon me though but didn't have enough time to think about it, personally."Marcus, let's take a break please, I'm already exhausted," Cheska whined like a child. She likes working out in a gym but cannot handle cycling. What's wrong with her?I sigh just as my momentum in nature and the beach was shattered by this woman who keeps following my shadow wherever I go. "Then, you shouldn't come with us."She whined like a brat again but I ignores her as I am focus on sightseeing the relaxing view of pine trees and the coastal beach.I know what is her intention in visiting me here. She talks about her new project way back at the party, she wanted me to spons
(Serena's POV)As soon as I saw Marcus, I can not help but sob. I've been here for hours, scared that night may come. I was alone, injured, and scared. I'm not familiar with this place. What if a wild animal is roaming around the island every night? What if mysterious people will approach me? I don't know how to defend myself. I'm scared that on this island, monsters are wandering around freely. With just by having those thoughts, panic starts to awaken inside of me.But when Marcus stares at me like he misses me damn much. Those panic slowly vanishes into thin air. Because of Marcus's presence, not only gives me frustration but also soothes my worries in life. I slowly realize the importance of having someone at your side. I always appreciate Ryle's presence but it's always different when it comes to Marcus.Although I'm denying everything, I'm still thankful that Marcus's arrival in my life makes me overlook my difficulties.Admit it or not, it feels like I slowly returned to my
(Serena's POV)We headed back to the hotel using the electric vehicle cart of the resort. They said, that road is restricted and there is a signboard under the tree before entering the secluded area for tourists. Too clumsy for me not to notice such a sign board.I noticed Marcus's quietness. His head has been lowered since Nicole and others found us. Did I really hurt him?My eyes lowered down to his leg. I noticed his left hand keeps touching his leg.I called the driver, "Can we head straight to a hospital or clinic?""Yes ma'am."Not that I'm injured but I'm more worried about Marcus's leg. The cart stopped at the hospital near the hotel. Marcus carried me into the hospital. My gaze swiveled over the waiting room, as he was looking for a place for us to sit. A TV played quietly in one corner, a distraction that might help keep his mind off the pain in his leg and the pain I'm feeling in my ankle. The seats closest to it stood empty, sandwiched between two sweating and shivering
(Serena's POV)As soon as we arrived at the mansion, I headed to my room, while pushing myself in the wheelchair. We just arrived from our vacation, but I came home injured. Thankfully, Marcus's leg is doing fine as long as he won't use too much force to strain it again.And also, I remembered what he said on the island. That my job as his caregiver is done. He is not fully healed but he insisted for me to leave the house.I grab the huge backpack under my bed and slowly reach the closet to pack my remaining belongings. While I'm at it, the door opens.I first saw Marcus's confused countenance when I turned around, then my eyes lowered down to his hand, my luggage. Why did he bring it inside? I left my luggage downstairs on purpose so I wouldn't have any trouble carrying it down."Why--""What are you doing?" He suddenly asked.My brows raised. Does he have amnesia?"I'm packing," I said the obvious one."For what?" He entered my closet to drop the luggage inside."Marcus, you said it
(Serena's POV)Taking a peek through the window inside the mansion, my eyes widened at a man wearing a tuxedo who was leaning on the couch comfortably. It's Uncle Gergor, Marcus's uncle, Beside her, is a blonde woman in her late 20s, wearing a channel and full of expensive accessories. Although, I'm not familiar with her countenance.I was contemplating moving forward, to the living room. From the very beginning of my relationship with Marcus, he didn't appreciate my presence. Because I was born into a poor family. And that being said, I can't help with their business. I'm just a trophy to display and not an asset to help them widen their businesses.But Marcus fights for our relationship. Even if his Uncle threatened him, still Marcus protected me with all his might.However, I didn't know Uncle's reaction to our divorce. He must had throw an expensive party for celebrating his victory. Because he did really win in our fight. Marcus let me go. Marcus took the first action to break h
(Serena's POV)As I made my way to the garden, the cold wind hit my body as it hastily passed through me. I shivered in the cold though I was wearing a sweater on a summer morning because of my chill body.It was currently 6:40 am. I woke up early unintentionally, I haven't slept a wink last night and it frustrates me.Suddenly the face of Marcus invaded my head. I sighed as I was continuously worried about what was on that billionaire's head.I don't know why he's everywhere in my head. He keeps making me annoyed whenever we're having a conversation. It's either he will tease me or he will make me angry. I'm trying to calm my nerves and pounding heart but he keeps popping into my mind like a handsome lunatic, smiling wickedly.My phone suddenly rang. It's Lily. I smiled seeing her name on the screen. I haven't heard her voice for a while. She must miss me. But as soon I answered the call, a sobbing, and whimper of Lily welcomed my ears.I stood up on the swing with a pounding heart w
(Serena's POV)"D-Drugs to c-calm m-myself." I blurted out as dizziness started taking over. My anxiety was taking the best of me. I needed those pills immediately. I glance through my wet lashes to see that Marcus stood rigid in front of me as if thinking of something.I reach for his hand where my pills are but I started feeling suffocated and my weak body gave up. I should have fallen on the ground if it was not for Marcus's quick reflex to catch my frigid body. "I n-need the p-pills." I let out in frustration before I could find myself sobbing and begging him to give me the drugs.Yes, drugs. The only thing that kept me sane and humane. The only thing that worked in the night and let me sleep. The only thing that kept the faces of those monsters away from coming and haunting me. The only thing that helped me breathe. Also, the only thing that was stopping me from becoming suicidal.However, it's been a while since I take those drugs. I haven't experienced panic attacks when I m
