(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)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

    (Marcus's POV)"Marry me again, Serena."Her eyes widened. "W-What?"I can see on her face how baffled she was. And it made my heart flutter every time she stared at me like I was some fake comedian who just cracks up a joke. Well, I was just teasing her but maybe she's too innocent to fall into my tricks."I'm just kidding. Anyway, I need your presence this evening. To act as my wife." "You are crazy," Serena said in a shrill tone.I smirked. How can I explain to her that I am only crazy for her? She must have known that from the moment when I fell for her first."Only for you, my love," I said while playing with her hair and luckily, she didn't flinch."But--" She was about to say something but I immediately placed my finger on her sultry lips. Damn, so fucking soft."Ssh... Think about poor Lily's cafe and that Ryle boy." I said shutting her mouth.To be honest, I negotiated with the land owner of Lily's cafe and that happened before Serena's injury. The reason? To still get hold

    (Serena's POV)As soon as these words left my mouth, Marcus abruptly stopped in the middle of the way. I could see, he was contemplating whether to reach out to me or not.Maybe he didn't expect me to say such a thing but I only stated a fact about myself. I can't be this selfish, I needed to warn him that he was playing with a lifeless soul and none of his actions will intrigue me."Serena... I-I..." He lost his words as pain crossed his face but being the expert at masking his feeling, he hid them."You won't change my heart towards you, Mr. Walton." I calmly said while keeping my face neutral."That time will tell, mi amore." He said while he curled his hand in determination.Wrong, Marcus.You are wrong. You may be a charmer, but I am no ordinary girl today.My heart is surrounded by walls, walls which are not just high but thick too. They are embedded with my shrill screams and are wrapped around thorns that are nothing but my endless woes.As soon you will come near this wall,

    (Serena's POV)"I'm hungry." I suddenly blurted out. We were driving down the road and I don't have any idea where is our destination. He didn't enclose the information to me about where we're going tonight. He blackmailed me to just be with him tonight in exchange for not touching Lily's cafe. How absurd is that?Marcus took a glance at me. "Okay, let's find a nearby restaurant."I heavily sigh before he turned the steering wheel and pulled over the car at the empty space outside the Kavkaz restaurant.Before walking out of the car, I made sure to take my medicine. I always take my medicine in time or else I will have an attack again in front of Marcus. He already knew my panic attack. I won't let him know about my illness.I don't want to drink my medicine in front of him. He has quick eyes and might notice the kind of medicine I've been taking all this time, aside from drugs. I'm just being careful.I followed Marcus inside and thankfully, there is a vacant table and seat for us.

Again."Marcus Walton?"A woman in her late 20s came forward with a wide smile on her face. Well, who would not recognize Marcus? His face is everywhere."Frieda Becker," Marcus said as he strode towards the woman and greeted her with a tight hug.I rolled my eyes. He came here to flirt with a Deutsche."Was machst du hier?" (What are you doing here?)And now, they're talking in German."Ich bin von Gloria eingeladen"(I'm invited by Gloria)I sat on a beige couch to rest my ankle. Slowly, my ankle is not in pain whenever I walk at a normal pace. My eyes scanned the surroundings as I massage my leg.Only a few people are wandering inside

I'm actually contemplating whether to accept the DNA test with Mrs. Fergus but now that it's here, why not give it a try?Upon hearing Marcus say that she is my biological mother seems unrealistic for me. I did not expect that we would be blood-related or he could find my mother this early.I actually did not long for a mother but the little nervousness with a small excitement inside my chest was unexpected too.Before we could perform a DNA test, Marcus set up a meeting with Fergus.

    (Marcus's POV)On our way back home, Siri rested her head on my chest as our fingers intertwined. Since she does look sobered now, I reprimanded her for clubbing with Suzy. I know she only wanted to comfort Suzy in this way since Suzy only relieved her stress by spending money on expensive kinds of stuff and liquors.Despite her efforts to comfort Suzy and calm her down, it did nothing for her.Actually, Nick visited me at my office to talk about Suzy and his parents. That's why I tag him along to fetch my wife and his wife, a drunkard.And thankfully, we're right in time. The couple needs to talk and seeing Suzy still has the energy to catfight, she's sobered enough to talk normally with her husband."Will she be okay?" Siri suddenly questioned. And I know who she meant by that."Hmm.""What if they will ask for a divorce this time?"Hearing the word divorce gives me a pain in my chest. I know one of them will be miserable, or both of them will if things go awry. "It's up to them.

    (Serena's POV)Strobe lights, loud music from the speaker, waiter, and waitresses dressed skimpily with glowing trays of drinks, shots, and bottles of booze lined up at the counter bar, the smell of sweat and smoke wafting off our clothing.My nose crinkled when smoke invaded my nostrils.With the last shot from my beer, I took a glance at Suzy who was dancing with a group of people we didn't know. She's having fun. It's clearly evident on her smile that doesn't leave her face the very first step we stride inside the bar.I actually left a message to Marcus to fetch us two hours after we arrived here. I purposely didn't let Suzy bring her car for the reason that we would be both intoxicated once we exited this building.I've been eyeing Suzy the whole time. She's swaying her hips with the hip music in the background while carrying a glass of tequila. I predicted that it would be messed up and difficult for her to wake up tomorrow.It's her punishment. I let her enjoy tonight and prepa

I've had my breakfast earlier but my stomach won't back off to the food in front of her. To be honest, I've been wondering if Suzy has already eaten breakfast. She was so damn wasted last night, even wailing when Marcus dropped her on her bed.

    (Serena's POV)As Uncle Gregor continued throwing hurtful words, I slowly became uncomfortable and my hands began to tremble but I was more concerned about Marcus, seeing his reaction to his Uncle's attitude.Despite how uncomfortable it was, Marcus was almost losing it, and needed to calm him down so I held onto his hand which he had clenched into a fist.As soon as Marcus noticed my warm hand, his fist slowly loosely unclenched before glancing at me. It was only after his blue eyes met mine, I lightly shook my head as a sign for him to take it easy. He slowly calmed his nerves down as a middle-aged man approached us."Mr. Storm.""Nice seeing you again, Gregor and Marcus's fiancee, but Marcus...""Yes?" Marcus's voice seemed relaxed now."Grab a drink with me," said Mr. Storm as he tapped Marcus on the shoulder. "There's someone else I'd like you to meet.""Of course," Marcus said with confidence, then looked over at me. I nod to him to let him go, gesturing to him I'm going to be

    (Serena's POV)Hearing his demand made my blood boil in rage. He only thinks about his relationship with Becker, not the condition of his only daughter."She's your daughter, not mine. Take her with you nicely. If she won't, I will stop you from planning to meet those two." Marcus spoke out with his gritted teeth."Cut the bullshit and drag her here now!""They have already come up with a decision. They are adult enough to make a decision. It's their marriage, leave them alone. Isn't it enough that you forced those two to tie the knot unwillingly? What kind of parent are you."Unable to hear him nonchalantly express himself, I abruptly ended the call and dropped the phone on the bed. Marcus didn't complain as he only buried his face in his hands with a heavy sigh.I know Suzy only now wanted to be with Shaine. Marcus let her stay here for the sake of her well-being. She's torn enough to live alone. At least here, we are with her to help her get through her troubles.I rested my chin o

    (Marcus's POV)When morning came, I opened my eyes and slowly dropped my head to the side to watch the beauty next to me. Siri had only covered half her lower body, leaving her upper body exposed as she lay on her side.Wanting to get the hair that covered her face out of the way, I stretched my hand but right when it reached her, she groaned and held onto it."Good morning, gorgeous," I said, having an even deeper connection with her after our passionate night together after a while.I just couldn't believe that she thought I cheated on her.When she opened her eyes and tried to get closer to my body, she hissed at the soreness all over her body. I jokingly pointed out that had she been working out like me, she wouldn't have felt that way. Because of my joke, I get slapped on my chest.I then moved my face closer and kissed her on the cheek. She closed her eyes and held onto my neck. The joy of seeing her in my arms brings a smile to my countenance."Last night was beautiful," I said

    (Serena's POV)His hands are all over my body as I grip his face, causing our tongues to intertwine in a wonderful dance. His chest was covered by all of my hands. He kissed me from the top of my cheek to the base of my neck. His hot breath and the gentle caress of his lips drove me mad. They make contact with my neck and start burning. While giving me harsher and more intense kisses, he slid his fingers over my hair.A moan erupts from my mouth.His other hand slides around my waist and pulls me close to his addictive-scented body. He feathered kisses on my shoulders and in my hair. It was slow and soft, comforting in ways that words would never be.When there was no more room between us, I slid my fingers down his spine and pulled him closer till our breaths mixed and I could feel his heart racing against my chest. The fact that I could make him feel that way made my insides bounce with joy. I separate myself and inhale quickly and shallowly. My insides caught fire at the way he loo
