114: I Shouldn't Like It!

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-09 23:41:54

SERENA’S POV

I rolled my eyes dramatically, acting irritated, when in fact, his actions were confusing and kind of enjoyable at the same time. Is he jealous? Does he know that stranger?

“Who gave you the right to forbid me to talk to someone? You only own this company, Mr. Moore. You don’t own me or anyone that works with you,” I responded, getting rid of his hands off my arm. He should start realizing by now who he wasted. He should start thinking that he would not be able to get rid of the idea of me in his mind.

I knew how much I could affect him… no matter how hard he tried to show that he didn’t give a damn.

“I am not saying that I own you, Serena. I am telling you this because that man couldn’t be trusted. You should stay away from him. This is for your own good—”

“How do you know what’s best for me? You were not even that good before yet you still slid into my inboxes and flirted with me and all. You don’t get the right to judge who’s good for me when you’re not even better…”

    SERENA’S POVI shouldn’t be like that. How can I like the kiss of someone who ruined my life? It shouldn’t be that way. I found myself leaving the building, hailing a cab because I had no plans on going back while my face looked like a fucking mess. I didn’t want to show my face to our driver, too. I just didn’t want to be seen by anyone. I felt so embarrassed because of the emotions that were currently living in my chest right now.What the hell is wrong with me? What the fuck is going on?I didn’t go home like I originally planned. My mom and my siblings were there, and I would have some explaining to do if they saw how smudged my lips were.I checked in in an unfamiliar hotel. This was the first hotel that the cab passed by, and I was lucky enough that this wasn’t owned by the Moores. Their properties were scattered all over Texas, so it wouldn’t be impossible if they owned the establishment, too.Lucky for me because they didn’t.I stood in front of the mirror, removing my makeup

    HAZEL’S POV Damn that man! Why did he have to come back? Why did he have to show up now that we are suspecting that Jane is alive? Damn him… he was making it hard for all of us. His timing was all wrong. “I am here now Mrs. Moore. Are you sure I am now allowed to enter the Moore Estates? Your son might kick me out again. He wouldn’t think twice to embarrass me in front of those people…” I stated over the phone, looking at the tall building where I used to work at for almost a decade now. Gray and I had never been on good terms ever since Serena came, so I was not sure if I was even allowed to show myself to him after what I did to Serena. I took a deep breath as I waited for the old woman’s response. She was not really old, but she was acting like one. She was acting like she would die anytime soon so that her children would favor her all the time. Cunning, right? “Oh, you don’t have to worry about that, Hazel. I have talked to my son about you representing me as one of the major

    HAZEL’S POVDamn, that was fucking tough. Even though I had no intention of saving Charles’ ass before an employee passed by the hallway, I still had to help him fix himself before anyone could see us. It was my better judgment, and Geraldine would kick my ass off if I wouldn’t do it. “I don’t know what the hell are you thinking about coming back here. What the hell is wrong with you? Do you want Gray to kill your ass? You never listen…” I lectured as I guided him toward the fire exit. We couldn’t be seen by anyone while his face had so much blood, so we had to take this way to not embarrass himself.Charles was the only son of one of the Moores’ closest family friends. Gray wasn’t alive yet when Charles’ family had a connection with Gray’s father, so he was so hard to get rid of even if we already made so much effort.“Oh, I didn’t expect to see you here. I thought the bastard already fired you for beating up his so-called woman. Why are you here?” he asked, smirking as if his face

    JANE'S POV“Where’s Gray?” I asked the maid as I held my father’s urn. I just went back from the funeral home where my father’s remain was cremated. As an only daughter, no one was with me as I processed everything regarding his death. Even my husband, who was always so busy with his family’s business, didn’t come with me.“He is upstairs, Ma’am. Do you want me to call him for you? He just got back from his office,” the maid offered, but I shook my head to refuse. With tears trickling down my face, I went upstairs to see him, hoping that maybe tonight, now that my father was dead, he would be here to comfort me.“Ooh, Gray! I like that! Please, I wanna cum so bad!”“I’ll make you cum, Hazel…”Standing at the doorway, my hands shook as I tried to convince myself that this was not our room. I refused to believe that Gray would bring another woman here. Not in our household. But no matter how I tried to fool myself that this was not happening, their moans were becoming louder as time pa

    JANE'S POV“When is she gonna be okay, Doc? It had been months…”“Fortunately, Mrs. Jane Moore’s vitals are okay now. In the meantime, she needs to stay in bed. The intense impact of the collision damaged her legs.”“Can she still walk?”“She must undergo therapy to be able to walk again. Don’t worry, Madame. The chances of her full recovery are high. We just need to be a little patient.” Monitor beeps and muffled voices were the first sound to register in my ear. Sluggishly, my heavy eyelids started opening. Crystal white coffered ceiling was my first initial sight. I had a glimpse of people in my peripheral vision, and they seemed to be conversing about me. The immobility of my neck made it hard for me to know who they were. “A-Aah…” I tried to make a sound but even my throat started hurting. The word came out so raspy as if I hadn’t tasted water for weeks. What happened to me? “Oh my goodness, Doc! She’s awake!” the woman near me exclaimed. There were sudden movements around me

    JANE'S POV— 2 years later —“We successfully bought Mrs. Baker’s share. Right now, we are one of Moore Estate’s major shareholders…” Miranda, my secretary, announced. Hearing that, a sly smile erupted from my lips, satisfied that everything was going according to plan.Well, well. What a good news to start this month. I wasn’t wrong when I asked my siblings to go back to Texas weeks before the Moore Estate’s anniversary. As one of the major shareholders, we would be invited, to be sure. “I can’t believe that Mrs. Baker would sell her husband’s share right after he passed. Poor woman. She probably doesn’t know how the business world works…” Kaihly, Kelly’s twin, remarked, her head resting on my shoulder. “It’s just perfect, alright? I mean, so sad that he died but duh? We got the shares! Jane finally has access to that company!” Kelly responded, clapping her hands for me. I did not comment. I had been waiting for this. I made sure that I would get access to that family's assets once

    GRAY’S POV“A pleasant evening, everyone. It is an honor to stand in front of you today. To be honest, I didn’t expect this company to be this grand. I am a little pressured…”The guests who were unfamiliar with Jane laughed and cheered for her, while the others who knew my deceased wife, remained clueless about what was happening. My muscles were tensed, and my eyes could not leave the woman’s presence.“What kind of nonsense is this?! Why is that woman on the stage? Is this a joke? Mom! Do something about this!”Aerah was the first to react. Her sudden burst out took the attention of the guests that were previously drawn by Jane. Aerah’s reaction broke the ice that stiffened me in my seat. Damn, Aerah. This was not the time to be a fucking brat!“Aerah, sit down!” I ordered, my voice almost a whisper. She looked at me incredulously, her mouth slightly parted. She stood up, scoffing, making her the center of attention. Even Jane, who looked at her like she was a scandalous stranger

    SERENA’S POV“Oh, your son’s here, Madame Geraldine. Since you’re acting like nothing’s happening here, do you want me to initiate and tell him about the accusations you’re throwing at me?” I offered, blatantly displaying a fake smile. The old woman’s eyes squinted, her lips turning flat. I turned my gaze on Gray, and just like how he looked at me the moment I showed myself on stage, his eyes were filled with confusion and mystery.“You’re so quiet… I don’t like it.”His silence reminded me of the days when I badly wanted to spend time with him, but I would always get nothing. Hearing that, Gray cleared his throat, swallowing.“I deeply apologize for all the troubles happening right now, Ms. Ambers—”“Don’t be. I am already disappointed. Given how wonderful this party looked, I never expected such treatment like this. If you want to redeem yourself, I suggest to stop trying tonight. Everything’s still fresh—”“Oh, shut up! Don’t even try to act so high and mighty, Jane Williams. We al

    SERENA’S POV“Miranda, how’s Lucia doing? She’s still sick?” I asked as we walked down the hallway, both of us catching our breaths. How couldn’t we? We were both late and I never wanted to have that in my record. I valued punctuality so much that even if Gray’s opinion about me didn’t matter anymore, I knew I still had to be here on time.“She said she’s still sick right now, Ms. Ambers. She’s currently staying in her own house with her grandchildren. I heard Mr. Moore told her to do so…”It had been two days since Lucia didn’t show up at work due to flu. It was fine, as long as she could rest and spend time with her family. We could clean the office on our own, anyway. “Pay someone to send her groceries and toys for her grandchildren,” I added, worry could be detected on my tone. It was not new to me to send groceries or even financial help to people I wasn’t close with, as long as I knew that they needed it.I knew Lucia wouldn’t accept it if it came from me. I always offered her

    GRAY’S POVI watched my mom get assisted by the nurse I hired for her in silence. She just got here a few seconds ago, and the shock on her face when she saw me interrogating my mom just pissed me off.This wasn’t the first time that I saw my mother being alone in a room. Her doctor advised her that she should always be with someone wherever she went because she might get a heart attack anytime. Seeing her alone for the fucking nth time while she was shouting so hard at the person she was talking to on the phone was something I didn’t expect to witness today.Why was she shouting, anyway? If I hadn’t interrupted her, I guessed she wouldn’t know that I was already inside the room. That I was already listening to her private conversation.“Who was the person you were talking to, Mom? You seem so mad. You know it’s not good for your health. You might have a heart attack again…”I promised my father to take care of the family, but I could not just watch them 24/7. I wondered if this had b

    VALERIA’S POVSeeing my firstborn talking to the maid gave me mixed emotions. Jane talked to me just a while ago, and she told me how much she would thank me if we just trusted her for her decision this time.She was right. What she did was stupid, and even if she was my daughter, I would still reprimand her for that. Not too intense, though. She seemed to make the right decision of telling her… but her way of having Lucia know was a sign of her weakness. She got caught off guard, she said. I watched Jane and Lucia Davis converse while I remained sitting on the couch, the twins were beside me. Lucia mentioned that she treated my daughter like her own child, and I guessed I did a job well done to not show them what I truly felt by not reacting.To be honest, hearing her say that made me undeniably envious of her. She got to spend time with my daughter without having to think of people forbidding her. She got to be a mother to my child and it took me years before I even got the chance

    SERENA’S POV Lucia, knowing who I truly was went according to what I wanted to happen. Miranda and I got to talk bad about the Moores freely like we used to do when she still hadn’t known about me. It was actually funny because sometimes, she would initiate the conversation to talk badly about them. I originally planned to not tell my family about Lucia, but I realized that it would be another bad decision that I would make.I did not want to hide any secrets from them as that was what we always practiced in our house. A secret could ruin everything. We would lack communication and that was what my mother hated the most aside from being weak and stupid. “You’ll get shocked once you see my sisters,” I stated as I guided Lucia inside our house. This was the time to let them know. It had been two days and my guilt was already over the roof. I couldn’t keep Lucia a secret between only me and my secretary. “I think I would. I was already shocked when I learned that you are truly Jane ev

    GRAY’S POV“I told you that Serena Ambers is a big-time person, man! First, she bought one of the major shares from your company. Second, she is always favored by the board members. Third, she is the only daughter of Victoria. You know how influential Victoria is due to her connections, right?”“Well, I did not anticipate that. I was busy enjoying the party last night and it fucking shocked me when Aerah made a fucking scene. Is this the kind of drama that you’re dealing with in the Moore Estates almost every day, Gray?”Marco and Kole’s sentences weren’t even interesting anymore. I asked them to come to my penthouse to have a drink with me, as I didn’t want to have this confusion just for myself.Seeing Serena pass out like how she did the last time added to my curiosity about her. She had been working in the Moore Estates for some time now, and it felt like there were still a lot of things that I did not know about her.Just like what my friends told me a while ago. They were the on
