Summer stared at the picture of her full grown son. Hers and Ares's flesh and blood. He had Ares's intense grey eyes that she loved so much. He is so incredibly gorgeous.
Ares looked at Summer. "Are you ready?" he asked.
She smiled. She had been ready for 20 years. Her heart ached when she had to leave him behind. She knew he'd probably hate her for leaving in the first place, but it was time to face him and explain everything.
Noah looked at Alex intently. Why was he freaking out over a painting?"It was a gift from someone," he told Alex."Gift from whom?" Alex asked. His voice suddenly turning cold."What's the big deal? I thought you said there was an emergenc
"Go away," Noah barked as soon as he felt Serena's presence in the room."I never was good at listening to people," she said and stood in front of him. She looked closely at Noah's face. His eyes were dark, and he looked absolutely devastated."Why do people love to mess with my life so much? You, and even my own parents..."
"You must think I am dirty now, don't you. I let those men use me. I didn't even fight back. I guess I was a whore even then." Serena looked at Noah with teary eyes.Noah flipped her over and pushed her back against the bed, then leaned forward and brushed his lips on hers. He inhaled her breath and felt the warmth of her skin as he stroked her body. She tastes so good, he thought.She hungrily kissed him back, her mouth opened
"What do you mean? Why did you say that?" Serena was stunned. She never imagined those words would come out of Noah's mouth."I heard you clearly when you said you loved me the other day. When I was eating breakfast. I just pretended like I didn't. I thought if I could ignore it, my own feelings would go away," he tightened his arms around her and kissed her wet cheek."You love me?" her voice shook.
Serena told Summer everything. She was tired of harboring this secret and dealing with Shane. She already told Noah, so she might as well tell Summer."My poor girl. I know exactly how it feels to be abused by someone close to you," Summer shook her head.Serena's eyes turned wide. "Wait...does Ares..."
"Do we really have to go?" Noah groaned.They were getting ready to go to Serena's parent's house for dinner. Along with Noah's parents as promised."Yes, we do. They are our parents. If anything, let's go because of my mom. She's very excited about this. We can't let her down!" Serena said.
Serena jolted as she heard Shane's name. Noah tightened his hand on hers and gently squeezed it to let her know he was here."What about him?" she asked."We know something is going on between you and Shane. It would be best if you tell us what it is," Alex interjected.
Serena watched him closely as he drank. She made sure every drop entered his mouth. Gosh...he is so stupid. How could he trust her so easily? His arrogance must've made him too blind to see how much she hated him.It doesn't matter, she thought. It only made her job easier."Why aren't you naked already?" he looked at her in a daze. His eyes were already spacing out as if he was drunk.
3 and a half years later..."Logan, for fuck's sake, slow down!" Serena cried out as Logan continued to terrorize both Noah and her at his birthday party. "Go get him! He is getting cake all over his new shirt!" She looked at Noah.Serena was four months pregnant with their daughter Mia, so she had no patience to deal with this cute little demon child of hers.
This time, it wasn't a big wedding. Serena and Noah had a small, private ceremony on the island alongside both of their parents. After it was over, they all decided to have lunch together."I guess we are in-laws for the second time," Ares said and smirked. Alex didn't scowl at him this time."And soon we are going to be grandfathers, so you better get your shit together, you psychotic killer," Alex declared.
Noah stayed glued to her side the entire party. Serena tried to push him away and urged him to mingle somewhere else, but he insisted on staying with her. His hand holding hers tightly."I don't feel safe with you walking around at this party by yourself. What if someone kidnaps you? Or worse, flirts with you!" he said."How is flirting with me worse than kidnapping?" Serena said irritably.
"Is that right?" Melody challenged Noah.As if she had a chance, Noah thought. He would never let some random chick take Serena away from him. She was carrying his child, for god's sake."What do you think?" Noah asked firmly.Serena cleare
"You can't go see her. She could be dangerous," Noah said."Don't be silly. You know who I am. Do you really think she can do anything to me?" Serena scoffed."I get it, but still," Noah said."Awe! You're worried about me. How sweet," she
"What do you mean no rough sex for the first few weeks?" Noah glared at the woman in front of him."I mean, the first two trimesters are an extremely crucial stage of the pregnancy, so be extra careful," the gynecologist said. "In fact, I recommend not having sex for the first two weeks.""I OBJECT!" Noah declared.
At dinner, Serena felt her father's piercing blue eyes boring into her soul. Why was he looking at her so intensely?"Why are you looking at me like that, dad?" she asked. She couldn't take it anymore."If there's something you need to tell me, you need to say it. You know I don't like secrets.
Alex decided to arrange another dinner with the family. He knew he had to tread carefully when he has to confront Serena about Shane. Serena was emotional and stubborn. If he asked her the wrong questions at the wrong time, she would shut herself off and won't speak to him again. He knew his daughter all too well."Are you sure she had anything to do with Shane's disappearance? What if you are wrong? What if it makes her mad that you suspect her?" Saoirse asked. She was concerned about her daughter's well being. She had a feel
"Excuse me, what? I think I misheard you. Did you just say you were pregnant?" Noah turned the shower off and looked at her with shock."You heard it correctly. I took four tests, and they were all positive," Serena said."How is that possible? Aren't you taking birth control?" Noah demanded to know.
