AUTHOR'S POV "Stop it, Seren," a woman in her early 50s shouted upon seeing Serenity throwing all of the things on the floor while crying hard. Some workers of the house were trying to hold her, but they couldn't control her. The woman trying to calm her down was her mom, Roma Morgan, a well-known businesswoman from New York. "Walker, hold her from behind," Roma said with a tone that clearly showed her fear for her daughter. Her uneasiness was evident. "He can't do this to me, mom," Serenity said amidst her cries as she threw one of the most expensive glass vases on the floor, creating a sharp sound and causing it to shatter into multiple pieces. Eventually, all the workers managed to restrain her. "Seren, Seren, stop this, my dear," her mom said, fighting back her own tears in order to console her daughter. "Leave me, leave me... I will destroy everything," she said, attempting once again to break free, but the workers held her even tighter. "Seren, stop it!!" her mom shouted wh
AUTHOR'S POV The door of the luxurious penthouse apartment swung open as Ivan, his tired figure, stepped inside. "Ember," he called out, only to be met with darkness within his apartment. Slipping his hand into his pants pocket, he retrieved a flashlight and switched it on. "Ember, why are the lights off?" he inquired as he made his way to the house's switchboard. Suddenly, his shoe landed on a broken vase, catching him by surprise. He looked down and his eyes widened at the sight of the shattered pieces. Hurriedly, he turned on every light in the house. With the lights illuminating the space, he surveyed the situation. Everything seemed fine, except for the broken glass vase. Anger welled up inside him as he entertained the thought of Ember being responsible for its destruction. "Where the hell is she?" he muttered. Closing the door behind him, he entered his bedroom, only to be greeted by darkness once again. He flicked on the lights and saw Ember sitting on the floor, clutchin
AUTHOR'S POV Angry, red eyes stared deeply into Serenity's soul as she gasped for air, her puffy eyes fixed on Ivan. He held a gun to her forehead, just one pull away from ending her life. Ivan's earlier words echoed in her head. "How dare you hurt my woman?" That same sentence burned inside her. He referred to a random girl they encountered on the roadside as his wife, dismissing her as a gold digger. "Did you think that after hurting my woman, I would let you sleep peacefully?" He asked, his anger evident, refusing to break eye contact. If Ivan possessed the power to burn someone with his gaze, Serenity feared he would have incinerated her on the spot. "Ivan," she mumbled. Only she knew how desperately she longed to embrace him and scream out her love for him, to let him know how deeply she cared. One held the flame of anger in his eyes, while the other held the flame of love in hers. "I warned you not to enter my house in my absence, so how dare you enter and hurt my wife?" He
Author's POV: She looked at him with indeterminate emotions, while he returned her gaze with anger. Eventually, he removed himself from her body, prompting her to quickly sit up and retreat. Ignoring her reaction, he strode in the direction of the bathroom. "I am not a fragile woman," she mumbled, her words reaching his ears and causing him to pause in his steps. He turned slightly, casting a glance at her that seemed to convey the message, 'Really?' She averted her eyes, avoiding direct eye contact, and focused on the bed. "What did you mumble?" he asked, causing her to look at him. Obvious fear was visible in her eyes. "I am not a fragile woman," she replied, to which he smirked. "Yes, you're not fragile. You're simply exceptionally good," he said. "But don't be overly kind to anyone except your family and me," he added. "Come here," he suddenly ordered. "Huh?" She was taken aback, and his voice alone sent shivers down her spine. He had just drained the life out of her, so wha

It wasn't that her father would judge her; he had never been judgmental about her. He would never think or say anything bad about her after learning about her marriage to Ivan. He would understand her, but she still feared his reaction. Many people had suggested to her father not to send his daughter to New York City for her studies and instead get her married to a man.

She is my pride, my respect, and she will never do anything that would dishearten me."She shifted
