MADDEST OBSESSION Chapter 90
(Serena's POV)My eyes were fixated at Marcus and Frieda's direction, digging my grilled peach-wrapped shaved Iberico ham with a parsley-pepita pistou on a heart skewer, cucumber-mint gazpacho with smoked paprika seared shrimp and pimiento crema, and heirloom tomato, Castel Vetrano olive, and aged manchego croustade and a lemon juice.Definitely, I'm starving.They were giggling, touching, or hitting each other's shoulders while talking about something I don't know.Definitely a show-off.People might think something is going on between those two.Yes, I'm upset but I put my trust in Marcus.Only an idiot would do such a thing with a massive crowd.I concentrated on the food that was in front of me. I don't want to waste the blessings freely given to me. I continued digging in the shrimp without glancing at those traitors. But I was startled that someone unfamiliar sat in my opposite seat.It's a not-so-gorgeous man, wearing a black Panther suit. He seems enjoying the wine in his hand

(Serena's POV)Shutting my eyes closed as the cold seeped through my three layers of clothing, attacking seams and zipper tracks and spots of thin insulation. The exposed skin on my face felt as if it had been touched with lit cigarettes while standing still in front of the great mahogany door."Serena, what are you doing here, it's cold outside!" I was startled by Nana's voice behind me. She was standing at the door, carrying a blanket before she strides in my direction and put the blanket on my shoulder, covering my body from the cold air."I'm waiting for Marcus," I said before fixing the blanket on me. It's getting colder or was that only my heart?Winter has come but here I am not enjoying the coolness of the atmosphere. Marcus is late for our dinner again. This is the third time he was late for our supposed planned dinner out together.I would understand if he's busy at work but he didn't even inform me that the dinner is cancelled again."You can wait inside." Nana leads me to

(Serena's POV)I woke up when Marcus slowly got on the bed and lie down behind me. I let him and pretended to be asleep until his arms wrapped around my body. His minty fragrance is something I yearn for and long the entire day. Now that I feel his warmth, it feels like I really did miss him so much. I need his warmth, his presence, his care, and his love. I'm not sure why I'm acting this way but I feel as though I need to see him before the end of this day.After a few minutes, I heard his sleeping snore. I have this urge to turn around, but as soon as I saw his peaceful countenance, my heart softened. He looks exhausted.I wrapped my arms around him, snuggling my bare face to his neck, inhaling his fragrance. He didn't take a shower as his skin still feels sticky because of sweat but it doesn't matter to me.I feel apologetic for my sudden actions earlier. Just as I realized that I'm being unreasonable, accusing him of doing something that he would never do. •••Standing by the b

(Marcus's POV)The strong smell of hospital disinfectant invaded my nostrils as I awoke. Aside from my loud breathing and the beep-beep sound you frequently hear in hospitals to let you know you're alive, the room was completely silent. I slowly opened my eyes, squinting an in attempt to sharpen the blurred images before me. It's Serena, peacefully lying on the bed. I shut my eyes, trying to remember what had exactly happened. Then it all hits me with a bang. The images of it all start to occupy my thoughts."Marcus..."Nana's soft voice woke up my soul."Have a meal first."I nodded before stroking the fallen hair on Siri's innocent face. Thankfully, her heart valve surgery was successful. God knows how afraid I was yesterday, impatiently waiting for the news from her doctor, whether good or bad.It feels like I've fallen into a cactus, as my heart has been punctured a million times over by tiny pins just seeing Siri in a difficult situation, helplessly.

The housekeepers and staff organizers joined hands to make this day memorable for us and our little angel.

She shines brightly with her ruffled dress when she flaunts her smile to the crowd making me feel insecure at her youthful look.She waves to Marcus and walks elegantly in his direction. I abruptly dashed at him. "Who is she?" I questioned while I can't take my eyes off her.He rests his right arm on my shoulder, wrapping around my neck. "Gloria's niece, Cassandra."Gloria's niece. No wonder her features seem familiar to me. But how come I didn't know about her?"You invited her?""No...? Maybe Gloria sent her as her proxy."He called her to introduce me. I forced myself to flaunt a smile as she handed me the gifts she brought for Cloud, one from her and one from Gloria.
