Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Her emaciated body was ruthlessly pinned to the ground, her hands stained with blood.

"Look at you," she heard a voice full of contempt say from above her. "The former most promising up-and-coming lawyer is now nothing but a worthless pile of dirt!"

Serenity Lewis raised her head with great effort and stared at the cold, exquisite face in front of her. Who would have thought that the most popular star in the entertainment industry who was as pure and innocent as white snow in the public's eye could be so vicious in real life?

"Jenny Hall," she spoke with a weak and trembling voice. "Why?"

"Why?" Jenny sneered. Her lips curled up in biting scorn as her sinister eyes glinted. "You killed my sister, and you dare to ask me why?!"

"It wasn't me!" Serenity denied, frantically shaking her head. "I was wrongly accused!"

She laboriously tried to get up on her feet, and her eyes were fixed on the man standing next to Jenny Hall.

That man... was her boyfriend! That was the man who had promised to protect her for the rest of her life!

In the past, he would get distressed for a whole day even when a needle merely pricked her finger, yet now, all he did was watch silently as another woman tortured her.

"Z-Zeke...!"

Serenity shouted with all her might and pleaded, "I beg you... Please believe me..."

Outwardly, he was exactly the same as he always was—dressed in a smart suit and a pair of leather shoes—yet his eyes were icy cold as he stared at her. Gone was all the warmth. The only thing left was cold indifference.

"Zeke," Jenny affectionately grabbed the man's arm. Her ruthless expression changed as she faced him, and she now turned into an innocent woman who had been wronged. "You're not feeling sorry for this woman, are you? I'm only doing this so my sister can rest in peace."

"She brought this upon herself," Zeke replied, gently stroking Jenny's smooth silky hair as he continued, "She's not worth any sympathy. Do whatever you like."

Serenity's eyes widened.

Brought this upon herself?! Ha! This man who used to treasure her as if she was the most precious thing in the world to him had nothing more to say but accuse her of bringing it all onto herself!

Serenity had no idea where she got the strength, but she suddenly broke free from the person pinning her down to the ground and crawled forward, doing anything she could to get closer to the man.

"Zeke, I don't know what actually happened in that car crash... but I wasn't drunk when I was driving, and it was definitely Mira Hall's car... that crashed into my car..."

Crush!

A foot stomped down on the back of her left hand. The pain pierced through her bones, but it was nothing compared to the agony that wrecked her heart.

She looked up strenuously and stared at Zeke, who had just stomped on her. She could never believe that he would ever do such a thing.

Serenity took a deep breath, her voice as raspy as if her throat was filled with sand as she asked, "Have you ever loved me?"

"The thing that I regret the most in my life," Zeke replied in the coldest voice, "is once having you as my girlfriend."

"Crush her hands!" Jenny interrupted. "Just destroy them, Zeke! Those are the hands that killed my sister!"

The next moment, Serenity heard the man's voice reply, "Okay!"

***

"Ah!" Serenity's eyes opened violently, realizing that she had just dreamt about the incident in prison again.

She looked down at her coarse calloused hands. After having spent three years in prison, her hands would never be as smooth and delicate as they used to be anymore. Although the nails on all of her ten fingers had grown back, there were still some lingering effects of the injury on her hands.

In that incident, they had broken all the bones in her fingers, but she was ultimately not crippled because the bones eventually healed. Unfortunately, her joints were now crooked, and she could no longer perform many fine movements very well.

In fact, on a particularly cold or damp day, her fingers would be in excruciating pain. Sometimes the pain was so unbearable that she wished she could cut off her hands just to get rid of the pain.

After that car crash, she had been accused of drunk driving and killing Mira Hall, who was not only the eldest daughter of the wealthy Hall family, but also the fiancee of Solaria's most powerful man, Jackson Valor.

Following that, Serenity's family turned their backs on her, and she had been kicked out of the house. She was then sentenced to three years in prison.

Serenity got up to her feet and picked up the cleaning tools that were lying beside her.

She was wearing fluorescent overalls, a sanitation worker's uniform. Her delicate face was flushed slightly red because of the cold weather. Beneath her almond-shaped eyes were a dainty nose and soft pink lips, and her hair was tied up in a high ponytail.

Based on her appearance alone, many would assume that she was a college student fresh out of high school, but there was no youthful vigor in her eyes like many young people had. Instead, her eyes were dull and grave.

She was supposed to be on the night shift that evening and had just taken a nap in the sanitation station, and she was just about to be late for work.

Just as she was about to leave, she overheard some colleagues scrolling through their phones, reading the news, and saying, "Guys, look! Zeke Shaw and Jenny Hall are getting engaged! What a lucky woman! She's a popular star, she's from a wealthy family, and now she's marrying into another wealthy family!"

Serenity shuddered before hurrying out of the room. Zeke Shaw and Jenny Hall... Those names were like scars of pain carved into her bones.

It was a cold January night, but Serenity still held firmly to the broom in her hands and swept the streets. The joints of her fingers throbbed in pain unceasingly because of the biting cold.

'Just bear with it a little longer and it will be over soon,' she told herself. For a sanitation worker like her, even painkillers had become a luxury now.

As she was working, a Ferrari suddenly came to a screeching halt in front of her, and out came a man and a woman. Serenity quickly paled as she recognized the man.

The man came from a rich family and had tried to molest her in the past, and Serenity had given him hell for it.

"Isn't that the great lawyer, Ms. Lewis?" Travis Dawn mockingly asked.

"What are you doing here sweeping the streets, Miss Hotshot?"

"It would be strange if she was still a lawyer!" said the woman beside him with a snigger.

"Don't you underestimate this lawyer!" replied Travis while leering at Serenity. "Back then, she used to be Zeke Shaw's girlfriend, you know!"

"Have you heard that your ex-boyfriend is going to get engaged with Jenny Hall? How about reconsidering my offer? You know you can get way more money than however much you get sweeping the streets!"

Serenity had no plans to just stand there and take it from him, so she desperately tried to slip away from the man, but Travis managed to grab her arm and pinned her against the wall in the alley.

Seeing that Travis was about to assault her, Serenity kicked him in his lower region and took the chance to slip away while he was still grunting in pain.

Travis was now so enraged that he saw blood. He would never let that woman go! He then got into his Ferrari and chased after her down the street.

By then Serenity had already escaped to the other side of the street, but what struck her as odd was how quiet it was. Usually, the street would be filled with cars and people at this time of day, but right now, there was not even a trace of a soul there.

It was as if... the street had been completely abandoned.

Soon, Serenity had been cornered by the Ferrari. Travis got out of the car and charged straight toward her, but just then, there was the sound of footsteps approaching.

The eerie silence of the night made the sound of the footsteps exceptionally clear.

Subsequently, Serenity saw a tall man approaching. His bangs covered up his eyes, so she could not see what he looked like, and he was wearing an old and shabby-looking shirt.

"Get out of my way!" Travis yelled at the man. "This doesn't concern you!"

The man glanced languidly at Travis. Oddly enough, it made Travis's hair stand on end. That cold icy gaze made Travis feel as if he was nothing but dead meat in the eyes of that man.

Travis spat and then raised his fist as he aimed it at the man's face.

However, the next thing he knew, he was trampled under the man's foot with one side of his face pressed against the pavement. He had ended up in an utterly helpless and incapacitated position.

After that, all Serenity could see was a one-sided attack, where it was obvious that one man had already claimed complete victory over the other.

Meanwhile, in a car that was parked in a hidden corner nearby, Connor Gunn watched on and murmured, "Please don't lose your mind, Mr. Valor!"

Every time Jackson lost control, only God could tell what might happen. There was a possibility that he might even end up killing someone. He remembered seeing Jackson lose control once, and after that... he never expected to see Jackson in that state ever again.

Strangely enough, although the streets had been blocked, somehow those people and that Ferrari had managed to slip through, thus disturbing Mr. Valor's peace.

In truth, Mr. Valor would always block the streets here every year on this day, and he would then put on a shabby old shirt and sit alone in silence. No one knew why he did this, and no one dared to ask, almost as if it was taboo to even bring up the subject. Even Connor, who had been working with Mr. Valor for so many years, had no clue as to why he would do such a thing.

When Connor noticed his boss pulling the slightly rotund man up from the ground and continuing to beat him up, he debated whether he should get out there and stop him.

Just then, he saw the woman who had almost gotten raped suddenly speak up, and he saw his boss... stop beating the man?!

For Lucas but on the other hand, you show us Serenity always going against Jackson and imposing Serenity on Lucas whenever she is in a dire situation and need help. If you continue with this, I will quit reading your novel. Enough is ENOUGH!

If she is so adamant about repaying people for their help, then she should just give them monetary compensation but she should not be betraying Jackson for everybody else! This is so unreasonable because on one hand you show us that Serenity doesn’t want to hurt Jackson and that she has no feelings

Author, C’mon already! It is high time for Serenity to start choosing and being on Jackson’s side and supporting and showing 100% support to Jackson regardless of the situation instead of everybody else regardless of what they have done for her.

Her emaciated body was ruthlessly pinned to the ground, her hands stained with blood."Look at you," she heard a voice full of contempt say from above her.

What Serenity had said at the time was, "If you keep beating him up like that, he'll die!""So what?" Jackson peered down at the man who was laboriously struggling to get up from the ground, his gaze piercingly cold.Serenity was taken aback. It was only then that she had a good look at the man's face. He had a flawlessly handsome face with a straight nose and lips that were thin but shapely. His facial features were delicate, but there was not a trace of emotion in his expressions. One could even say that his eyes were dead calm, almost as if human lives meant nothing to him at all, and he had no qualms about either taking someone else's life or even his own life!Serenity took a deep breath and told him, "It's not worth losing your freedom to a scum like him."The man stared straight at her for a while before releasing his grip on Travis. Knowing that he had just narrowly escaped, Travis hurried away with a face smeared with his own blood and quickly got into his car with his

"I'm sorry," Serenity's face suddenly turned red. "I... I was just... If... If you've got nowhere to go, you can stay with me here."She blurted those words out nervously at first, but now that she had gotten it off her chest, she was filled with a sense of relief.The man's obsidian-like eyes were fixed on her flushed red face, and a look of surprise seemed to have flashed across his face."If you don't want to stay here," she said, biting her lips, "it's fine. Just pretend that I never said anything."His thin lips finally parted as he asked, "Do you want me to stay here?"His voice was as cold as a winter spring, and the silence of the room made it sound even more crystal clear.Had those words come from another man's lips, it would have sounded like flirting. However, this man's voice made it sound as if it was a factual question that demanded a definite ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer. There was simply no room for ambiguity or mystery in his tone, even his eyes were perfectly calm.Se

Aria's countenance changed abruptly. Grayson, on the other hand, had already slapped Serenity hard across her face."How dare you speak like that?!" Grayson berated. "You're the one who killed someone and got thrown into prison! Do you know how much trouble this family got into because of you?! You have no future left, so now you want to drag your sister down with you?!"His eyes were filled with disgust for this daughter of his. He recalled how impressed his friends had been back when they had gained a connection with the Shaw family, and he was then reminded of how humiliated he had felt after that when Serenity had gotten into trouble!One side of Serenity's face was burning with pain, yet her eyes remained perfectly still and unperturbed, almost as if none of what had just happened mattered to her."I only came here to pay my respects to my mother's ashes, but now I think I'd better get my mother's urn out of here. She doesn't have to be here anymore, and I will never set foot

"Because..." Serenity swallowed the last bite of her bun which tasted mediocre, at best. In the past, she would have disliked it, but now, taste had become secondary to her. What was more important was to have enough food to fill her belly."I guess it's because we're the same kind of people," she continued. "We've both been tossed aside by society, and we're just trying to survive at the bottom rung. No one wants people like us, and nobody cares about us, but at least we can hug each other for warmth, and I can cherish you, and you can cherish me, right?"She smiled gently. It was a smile full of hope, longing, and even nervousness."Is that so?" he murmured. "Sounds like we really are very similar..."His gaze was that of a hunter who had just seen his prey falling into his trap. Perhaps life had been too easy for him lately. So easy that it had become boring. Anything he wanted, he merely had to stretch out his arm, and it would be there for him to reach it. As time went by, thi

"I don't need your favors," Serenity said.Heiden was drunk, and he rushed to Serenity, slapping her hard. "I told you to drink, so drink. You're just a poor woman now, so how dare you refuse me?!"As Heiden spoke, he took the bottle and poured the liquid into Serenity's mouth.Serenity tried to push him away, but she was unable to. A man's strength was much stronger than a woman's. Besides, Heiden had Aria helping him.Heiden was pleased by Aria's help. "Oh, Aria, you're smart. I'll talk to the director about adding more screen time for you later."Naturally, this made Aria work harder as Heiden's accomplice. "Thanks, Heiden. My sister isn't behaving, so I'm really sorry about that."Serenity did not know how much alcohol she had been given. She was not a very good drinker, and she was already feeling a little drunk, so she struggled to control her remaining consciousness. "I-I want to go home...""Yeah. I'll take you back later." Heiden took Serenity into his arms.Heiden did

"You didn't," Jackson answered.Just then, Jackson recalled the scene when he had taken Serenity home. When he had carried her back to her room and put her on the bed, she had suddenly pushed him down and pinned him to the bed.Jackson had been taken by surprise at that moment, and he was shocked by his own carelessness. If he was dealing with an enemy, his enemy who wanted his life could have killed him in that instance!Jackson had always been vigilant. When had he ever let his guard down like this?!Before Jackson could get up, Serenity's hands had reached out to him, and she touched his face, pushing the thick bangs on his forehead away. Then, she stroked his eyes with her fingertips."Your eyes are so beautiful... I like them very much... I love them..." She murmured."You like my eyes?" Serenity's praises were not new to him. After all, there were always women who had said they liked him, particularly his eyes, and so on. His eyes were perhaps the most striking resemblance

Serenity waited until nine o'clock at night, but Jack still did not show up. She was worried that something might have happened to him, but she could not even call him because he had no cell phone with him.Serenity simply walked out of her home and went to the gate area, constantly looking around, hoping to see the figure she was expecting soon.She did not know how long she had waited until she saw a familiar figure walking toward her."Jack!" She finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing him.Jackson was a little startled to see the figure running toward him. He watched her running up to him panting slightly, her face red from the cold, but her beautiful eyes sparkling brightly."Great, you're finally back," Serenity said. Jackson looked at her and asked, "Sis, were you... waiting for me?" He gently brushed her cheeks with his hand, and he could feel the coldness on her cheeks through his fingertips. It seemed like she had been waiting outside for quite some time."Yeah.

Chapter 9
After leaving the hospital, Connor asked, "Mr. Valor, do you want to return to the residence or...""Go back to West City," Jackson said lightly.Going back to West City meant going back to Serenity's place. Connor wondered how long his boss planned to stay in that tiny rental place.While on the way to West City, Connor spoke up at a traffic light. "Mr. Valor, Ms. Serenity is on the roadside."Jackson turned to see a slender figure sweeping the garbage along the roadside with a broom. Serenity wore fluorescent-colored overalls and a simple ponytail for work. It was a cold day, so every breath she took turned into white smoke. At the same time, an electric bike moved quickly, seemingly rushing to catch the green light. As it flew past Serenity, it brushed her legs, making her fall to the ground. However, the rider did not even bother stopping and quickly crossed the road.Naturally, Jackson and Connor saw this scene play out in front of them clearly."Mr. Valor, should we find

"As long as you don't do anything illegal or commit any serious crimes, how could I be disappointed?" Serenity said. After putting on her shoes and socks, she got up and walked toward the small square table.Jackson watched the back of her figure with a smile, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes. He whispered softly, "I hope you won't be disappointed in the future."***Aria had been anxious ever since the night at the club. After all, Heiden had acted so strange that night, and he had not appeared on the set the next day. Two days later, even the director had been changed.The production team had no idea about the reason for the change, however, Aria somehow felt that the director had been replaced because of Heiden's actions. She thought about it further and became afraid that it might be related to Serenity.A few days later, she heard that Heiden had been injured and hospitalized, and she was stunned to learn that his right hand had been crippled.
