Serena stared blankly out the car window, lost in thought.Willow stayed by her side as they returned to the apartment. She was worried about Serena and decided to spend the night with her.Her instincts turned out to be correct. In the middle of the night, Serena had a nightmare.After Willow woke her, tears streamed down Serena's face. "Willow, can you turn on the lights? It's too dark. I'm scared."Willow glanced at the bedside lamp, which cast a dim glow over the room. Without hesitation, she reached for the main switch and flooded the space with bright light. Only then Serena's panicked breathing gradually steadied.She hugged her arms around herself, her long hair cascading over her knees like seaweed, her face drained of all color. Willow's heart ached at the sight. "Serena, are you alright?""Yeah…" Serena replied weakly."Are you sure? You look like you've just seen a ghost." If Wilson saw her like this, his heart would ache so badly.Serena bit her lip. "Every time I

Justin waited all night, but not a single call or message came from Serena. The unease that had been weighing on him finally sank into cold certainty.Yesterday, his men called to inform him that Wilson had found the mastermind behind Desiree's kidnapping. The plan was to interrogate and deal with him at an abandoned port. Justin had taken Serena there, hoping she would witness Wilson's cruelty firsthand. If she saw his bloodthirsty side, she would finally be afraid. Maybe afraid enough to come back to him. People always sought shelter in their most helpless moments. However, she refused. The sting of her slap still lingered on his face.A knock at the office door pulled him from his thoughts. Zane stepped in, looking uneasy. "Mr. Farrow, I have bad news…""What happened? Didn't I ask you to pick up the car?" He had checked the GPS earlier and saw his Maybach hadn't moved.Which meant Serena hadn't driven it home. So, he assigned Zane to bring it back.Zane rubbed his hands to

"First come, first served. I already made plans. I can't just bail on them." If Justin knew the person he was meeting was Serena, he would probably strangle him. "Justin, you don't sound too good. Is it about Serena again?"Justin's voice lowered. "Yeah, I saw her yesterday. But things didn't go as planned. I need you to help me figure it out, and grab a drink with me while you're at it.""Maybe next time," Arthur said."Alright then." Justin hung up and then dialed Damian instead.Damian agreed. "Alright, just tell me the time and place.""Three o'clock. Smarington." After a pause, Justin asked, "How's your studio coming along?""We've been shooting for a few smaller magazines, but the studio itself hasn't officially launched yet. We want to release our own signature photo series to promote it, but we haven't found the right model," Damian said."If you need help, just say the word. I can have someone reach out to a celebrity or two," Justin said."There's no need for that. Ju

At noon, seeing that Serena was in decent spirits, Willow headed to the hospital for her shift.Serena was about to leave for her meeting with Arthur when Lauren called her. Her voice was bright with excitement. "Rina, I have something to tell you!""What is it?" Serena asked."Stupidron and I are taking a trip for a few days, so we won't be bothering you for a while. Don't miss me too much!" Willow teased."That's sudden." Serena found it odd. Just yesterday, Aaron had been asking for her help. "Did he sort out the issue with Zimmers Corporation?""Not yet… but honestly, it's not something that'll get fixed overnight. Stupidron said he's been so caught up with work that he's been neglecting me, so he decided to take me on a trip. He'll deal with the company stuff when we get back," Lauren said."Really? Alright, send me your location when you get there." Serena wasn't convinced.Zimmers Corporation was in serious financial trouble, and he had been scrambling for a solution. Now

Arthur adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. "Why are you here?""Justin's in a bad mood. He asked me to come out, so here I am." Damian shifted to the side. "Arthur, do you know why he's upset?"Arthur sat beside him. "What do you think?""Is it because of Serena?" Damian asked."Who else would it be?" Arthur sighed. "Who would've thought? Serena chased after Justin for so many years, and now she's the one breaking things off. At first, Jo even bet with me in private, saying she would come running back in a few days. But guess what? When she said she was leaving, she actually left."Honestly, Justin looking like his world just ended kinda serves him right. If he was gonna regret it this much, why didn't he appreciate her sooner?" A knowing glint flashed in Arthur's eyes. "Late love is worth nothing. Justin's finally learned that the hard way."Damian took a sip of his juice. "Later when Justin gets here, don't say that.""You think I'm as stupid as Joseph?" Arthur retorted.Damian

Arthur spoke first. "Justin, you'd crossed the line.""Too much?" Justin asked."You're hurting her. Do you really love her?" Arthur tried to talk some sense into Justin."I couldn't just sit still and let Wilson get what he wanted. Once Serena sees his true colors, she'll be scared and stay away from him." That way, she would come back to him.Irritated, Justin lit a cigarette and looked at Damian. "What about you? Do you think I was in the wrong too?""Yeah, Justin. You were." His mistake was making Serena witness it firsthand. If it had been him, he would've orchestrated it so she "accidentally" discovered the truth herself. Then, when she was at her most vulnerable, he would be there for her.Justin was too impatient and arrogant. He thought that as long as Serena feared Wilson, she would come running back to him. However, Serena wasn't the same person anymore, and all he did was push her further away.Justin pinched the bridge of his nose. "I used to think I understood Sere

"It's fine." Justin held his glass, his brows slightly furrowed. He had always known his mom was difficult. Back when Serena was around, she handled everything like taking care of things at home and shielding him from Jenna's constant interference. Even when Serena became his personal assistant, she was the one who dealt with his mom's endless phone calls and demands.He never thought much of it before. Now that she was gone, he finally realized just how much she had endured. However, she never once complained.A hollow laugh escaped his lips. He ran a hand over his face, his chest tightening like a stone was pressing down on it. "It's too quiet. So boring. Arthur, get someone to sing."Arthur grabbed his phone and made a call. Before long, the club manager arrived with a group of hostesses.Arthur scanned them briefly. "Where's Lila?""Lila is with someone else tonight. Mr. Collinsworth, I can call her over if you'd like?" the club manager said."There's no need for that," Jus

Two hours later, Justin finally told her to stop. After leaving a tip, he got up to leave. Damian stood up as well, ready to go."What's the rush, handsome?" The hostess beside him suddenly grabbed his arm.Damian turned his head and met her flirtatious gaze. She pressed her chest against his arm. "You're still a virgin, aren't you? I like you. If you want, I'll stay with you for free tonight. Don't worry, I know plenty of tricks. I guarantee your first time will feel amazing…"Damian's expression didn't change. "No thanks. I'm leaving.""Don't be shy. Have a think about it," the hostess said again."Did you not understand me?" Damian turned, his once clear, gentle eyes now cold. The shift in his demeanor was stark, an intimidating presence replacing his earlier restraint.The hostess instinctively took a step back. "What…""Let go." Damian brushed off her hand and walked out.Justin was slightly tipsy. As they reached the door, he stumbled, nearly falling.A woman caught hi

The studio was close to being a first-rate operation.The front desk was manned by a pair of youngsters—a man and a woman. Damian introduced them to Serena, "These are my business partners.""Your business partners seem pretty well-off," Serena observed."They are," Damian replied.Upon seeing Damian, the young woman at the front desk hurried forward. "Took you forever to come back up, Damian! Let me take a look at this model you mentioned. She must be hot if you were willing to escort her up personally!"Zoey's eyes darted toward Serena, and she went still with shock.Serena was wearing loose, straight-cut trousers and a pastel-colored jacket. Her hair had been casually pulled back and secured with a claw clip, revealing her bare yet beautiful face. She hadn't put on any makeup today because of the upcoming photo shoot.Even without makeup, her skin was flawless and as smooth as double cream. She looked even more dazzling than most celebrities.Serena introduced herself to Zoe

Serena sheepishly pocketed her phone and said, "How much do I owe you for the flowers, Mr. Quade? I'll transfer you the money.""Ms. Judd, may I know why you're speaking to the cactus beside you?" Wilson asked with wry humor.She pursed her lips and slowly lifted her gaze to Wilson. She wished she could admire his finely chiseled features and the flawless planes of his face, but she only felt disgusted by them. Memories from the other night rose in her mind, and she knew at once that those events had gotten to her more than she'd let on.When Wilson saw the blood drain from Serena's face, his heart tightened. He stepped back and said, "You should get going if you've got someplace to go."Relief rushed through Serena as she said, "Goodbye, Mr. Quade."She hurried out of the shop after that.Desiree watched as Serena scurried away and raised a brow. "What's up with your assistant today? She seemed skittish. Did something spook her?""Isn't it obvious? I spooked her," Wilson pointe

Serena could tell how happy Damian sounded over the phone.After she hung up, she got a text from Willow informing her that she wouldn't be getting home early on account of her night shift.Serena reassured Willow she'd be fine going one night without her company. To prove it, she snapped a photo of herself with the movie playing in the background and sent it to Willow.Willow replied, "Get some sleep. We'll head over to Dr. Morris' tomorrow.""It's your day off the day after tomorrow. Shall we see her then?" Serena suggested."Sure." Having gotten Serena's reply, Willow cut a withering look at the man beside her and asked, "There, happy now?"Wilson was seated in the chair beside Willow's desk. He had one ankle propped up on his knee, the portrait of elegant nonchalance. He stared at the photo on Willow's phone and drew his gaze away after a few seconds."Yeah," he said with an approving nod, then rose to his feet. "Thanks for looking out for Serena for me the last few days. I

Justin's eyes widened by a fraction, but he quickly hid his shock. He snorted and asked, "What does that have to do with me?"Candice was frantic. "It's your child, Justin! Did you forget what happened a month ago? That night, we—""Shut up! You slithered into my bed that night and forced yourself on me while I was drunk, and now, you want to hold me accountable? Don't be stupid!" The mention of that night from a month ago left a bad taste in Justin's mouth.He wasn't so foolish. He had been so drunk that night that he was close to passing out on his bed. Candice had entered his room after that and climbed into bed with him on purpose!Candice froze. She didn't think Justin would be so heartless.She prided herself on knowing him like the back of her hand; he might seem cold and indifferent, but he was actually gullible and prone to being emotionally manipulated. She only needed to cry to make him side with her.More importantly, Justin wanted a kid. Candice had overheard him tel

"What's got you so worked up?" Mollie asked."I've been calling Justin, but he refuses to pick up! A mother and son shouldn't hold grudges like this. What is he trying to prove with this attitude? He's just like your father, that heartless man…" Jenna complained.Mollie sighed. "He's been in a bad mood because of Serena. Maybe just give him some space.""Enough nonsense. Call him right now," Jenna demanded.Left with no choice, she pulled out her phone and dialed Justin's number. He finally picked up. "Justin, where are you? Mom's been really worried.""I'm fine. I'm heading back to Bay Villa now," Justin replied.Jenna snatched the phone. "Justin, you've been acting more and more out of line. All because of Serena? You're the CEO of Farrow Corporation. Look at yourself right now!"His voice was weary. "If you just called to lecture me, save it for another day.""I'm telling you, the best way to get over a relationship is to start a new one," Jenna said."What are you getting
