Chapter 51

The morning sun shone brightly, casting a golden glow over the city as Serena stepped out of the hospital doors, her mother right beside her. But the moment they pushed through the entrance, they were met with a sea of reporters. Camera flashes went off relentlessly, voices shouting over one another, each reporter desperate to get an exclusive statement. “Miss Serena! How are you feeling after the accident?” “Is there any side effect from falling into the water?” “Can you tell us who was with you at the time of the incident?” Serena kept her head down, her face completely expressionless, as she pushed through the crowd with her mother by her side. “Move,” Mrs. Winthrop snapped, using her arm to block the reporters from getting too close. “Get out of the way!” A reporter, determined not to lose the chance, stepped forward, shoving a microphone toward Serena. “There are rumors that you actually didn’t make it out alive! What do you have to say about that?” Mrs. Winthrop sto

Chapter 52

The drive home was quiet, but Serena felt a sense of relief being away from the hospital and the media’s prying eyes. The moment they pulled into the driveway, she spotted a familiar figure standing by the front door.Nathan.He was pacing, his hands in his pockets, his brows furrowed in concern. The moment Serena stepped out of the car, he rushed over, his eyes scanning her from head to toe, as if making sure she was truly okay.“Serena!” he called, stopping right in front of her.She blinked in surprise. “Nathan? What are you doing here?”Nathan let out a breath, shaking his head. “I saw the news. I—” He hesitated, rubbing the back of his neck. “I was out of town for a business meeting, and that’s why I couldn’t be at the hospital last night. But the moment I heard you were discharged, I came straight here.”Serena smiled gently, touched by his concern. “You didn’t have to rush here, Nathan. I’m fine, really.”He didn’t seem convinced. “Are you sure?” His eyes searched hers, as

Chapter 53

Emma sat behind her desk, her fingers moving quickly over the papers in front of her. She was trying to wrap up some last-minute work, but her mind kept drifting back to the message she had received earlier that morning.From him.Ethan.She had read and reread his message, trying to decode what exactly he meant. His words had been playful yet strangely serious. And now, here she was, sitting in her office, thinking about him instead of focusing on her tasks.With a sigh, she pushed the thoughts aside and picked up another document, determined to finish her work. But then—Ding!The elevator doors slid open.Emma barely looked up—she was used to people coming and going. But then, she heard footsteps.Slow. Purposeful.Something about the sound made her stomach twist.She finally lifted her eyes—And froze.Standing in the doorway was Ethan.He was dressed in a tailored navy blue suit, his dark hair neatly styled, his lips curved into a signature smirk. His presence filled the roo

Chapter 54

Bianca sat alone in her dimly lit apartment, the floor cold against her bare legs as she tilted her head back and took another long sip of her drink.Her apartment was in complete disarray—empty bottles scattered around, a few half-eaten snacks sitting on the coffee table, and her phone lying face down beside her. But Bianca couldn’t care less.Because all she could think about was Serena.Serena.The woman who refused to just disappear.The woman who should have drowned in that accident.The woman who, despite everything, still had the attention of the men around her.Bianca let out a bitter laugh, gripping the glass in her hand so tightly her fingers turned white.The fact that Serena survived was already frustrating enough. But what made it even worse was the message she had received from her private investigator just that morning—Nathan.Nathan had been at Serena’s place.Not just visiting—but acting all caring.Bianca’s blood boiled at the thought.What was so special about Se

Chapter 55

As Emma and Ethan stepped out of the restaurant, the cool night breeze brushed against her skin. Ethan’s hand held hers gently, his thumb absentmindedly tracing small circles on the back of her palm.The dinner had been… unexpected. She hadn’t imagined Ethan would be so open, telling her about his family, his past, and how he had never been lucky in relationships. There was something genuine about the way he spoke, something that made her feel warm inside.As they reached his car, Ethan turned to her, his dark eyes searching hers. “Emma…”She glanced up at him, waiting.He sighed softly, then smiled. “I meant what I said back there. I won’t rush you. I’ll wait for your answer, however long it takes.”Emma felt a strange flutter in her chest. She wasn’t sure what to say, so she only nodded.Ethan smiled at her response, then opened the passenger door for her. “Come on, let’s get you home.”The drive was mostly silent, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. The radio played softly in the ba

Chapter 56

A full week had passed since the chaos of the past events.Serena was finally returning to work.Her mother, Mrs. Winthrop had stayed by her side through everything, refusing to leave until she was sure Serena was completely fine. But today, she was heading back home.Serena had personally booked her flight and made sure everything was set for her departure.That morning, after Amy had left for school, Serena and her mother drove to the airport together.The car ride was mostly quiet, filled with an unspoken heaviness.Mrs. Winthrop was the first to break the silence. “Are you sure you’re okay now, sweetheart?”Serena smiled softly, keeping her eyes on the road. “Mom, I promise I’m fine. You’ve done more than enough for me. I don’t know what I would have done without you. You made everything so special for me these past few days and I’m really grateful.”Her mother let out a dramatic sigh. “I’m your mother. It’s my job to worry about you and also make sure you are alright, Serena. Y

Chapter 57

It was already noon, and Serena was buried in work, her eyes glued to her laptop screen as she reviewed the latest project proposals.Her office door suddenly swung open, and the familiar clinking sound of utensils against a food tray made her look up.Emma walked in, carrying a neatly packed lunch.“Here you go, boss,” Emma said cheerfully, placing the tray on Serena’s desk.Serena sighed and leaned back in her chair. “You really don’t have to bring my lunch every day, you know.”Emma smirked, crossing her arms. “I do when I know you’d rather starve than step out of this office.”Serena chuckled, shaking her head. “Alright, alright. I appreciate it. What’s on the menu today?”Emma lifted the lid of the container, revealing an exquisitely prepared meal—grilled salmon, steamed vegetables, and mashed potatoes.“Something light but fancy,” Emma said proudly. “I figured you’d need the energy for tonight.”Serena raised an eyebrow. “Tonight?”Emma’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Oh!

Chapter 58

Serena was seated at her desk, scrolling through some final emails when there was a knock on her office door.Before she could respond, the door swung open, and Emma’s excited voice filled the room.“They’re here!” Emma announced, stepping aside to let in the glam team.First walked in a tall, elegantly dressed woman in her mid-thirties, her arms filled with designer garment bags. She had a confident smile, a measuring tape draped around her neck, and a keen eye for fashion.“Serena Winthrop,” she greeted smoothly, her voice dripping with professionalism. “I’m Delilah Monroe, your designer for the evening.”Right behind her, a petite woman with bright red hair and an effervescent personality practically bounced into the room.“And I’m Paige, your makeup artist!” she chirped, waving a brush in the air. “We are going to make you look absolutely breathtaking tonight!”The last person to enter was a tall, lean man with sleek black hair pulled into a ponytail. He carried a case filled wit

Chapter 59

In her luxurious penthouse, Kate sat in front of an enormous mirror, admiring the different dresses Rolly had laid out for her. The room was filled with the scent of expensive perfume and the soft hum of anticipation.Rolly, her ever-dramatic best friend, folded her arms and gave Kate a critical once-over. “Okay, babe, this is not just a regular ball. This is your moment. We need you looking like a goddess that makes every woman jealous and every man drool.”Kate smirked, running a perfectly manicured finger over the delicate lace of one of the dresses. “Obviously. I don’t do the basics. You of all people should know that I love every bit of publicity stunts and tonight, I’m ready to give to the media and the public all they need to know tonight. By tomorrow, the headlines will be just about me!” Kate uttered, grinning from ear to ear.Rolly grinned, jumping around like a toddler given cakes. “That’s my girl. I sure know what you can do Kate and I trust you are going to give them h

Chapter 60

Serena had barely taken another sip of her wine when she felt a presence behind her. She didn’t need to turn around to know who it was—the air had suddenly shifted, charged with hostility.But when she did turn, her eyes met Kate’s, who was standing there, arms crossed, a wicked grin curling her lips.“Well, well, well,” Kate drawled, loud enough for the people around them to hear. “If it isn’t the queen of pretenders, acting like she belongs here.”Serena exhaled sharply, already exhausted.She had no intention of engaging in whatever childish drama Kate was trying to start. So, she simply turned her gaze away, focusing on her drink, as if Kate wasn’t worth a second of her attention.But that only poured fuel onto the fire.Kate’s smirk faltered, her fingers tightening into fists.“Are you deaf, Serena?” she hissed. “Or are you just acting like you’re too important to acknowledge me? Oh wow, I can’t believe that with this cheap dress of yours, you would try to act this way.”Seren
