After five years of loving Trevor, Serena arrives at city hall on Valentine’s Day, ready to finally become his wife—only to discover he spent the night with Amber, the woman he truly loves. When Trevor publicly declares Serena means nothing to him, she ends their engagement and walks away. But her sudden indifference leaves Trevor stunned. Will he regret choosing Amber when Serena is finally gone?
Serena faltered-perhaps she really was being too anxious. “No, that’s not what I meant.” Serena didn’t know how to explain the situation involving Eugene and Chris. “Uncle Sebastian, don’t get it the wrong way…” Sebastian lazily lifted his eyes and stared at her lips, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly. “Have you eaten?” “What?” Serena was…
When Serena returned to the private room, Sebastian noticed the fierce glint in her eyes hadn’t yet faded. Thus, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “What happened?” He wondered who had provoked her. However, Serena didn’t reply to him. Instead, she forced a smile and said, “Uncle Sebastian, I’m sorry I can’t keep you company…
Donald’s expression was dark. Although admitting defeat in front of his daughter humiliated him, he also had no desire to live with her any longer. Judith glanced at Serena before smiling and saying, “Of course, I’d like to stay there. However, who’s paying? Will you pay for it, Yvonne? The nursing home is much better…
“Who?” Serena and Shawn asked at the same time. “You know… her.” Lily dropped her voice. “The Boss’ ex-wife.” Serena froze. Lily meant Eugene’s ex. Only then did she remember her phone was still on the floor. She picked it up and turned it over, and her mind stalled. Her fingers trembled around the screen.…
She had blocked his number too. Finally, when Serena arrived, she spotted him waiting there. “Serena.” She had just finished working late and hadn’t eaten, so she had stopped to pick up some takeout. To be fair, the food earlier that evening had been excellent. But even the best meal lost all appeal the moment…
On the other end, Sebastian studied his phone thoughtfully, then let out a quiet, amused breath. The desk phone rang. He set his mobile aside and answered the landline. “Hello.” Hearing Sebastian’s calm voice, Daniel immediately felt a chill. “Mr. Levine, the Beaumont Legal team will be here shortly to sign the agreement. Would you……
“Alright. Head up.” Serena raised her eyes. Sebastian stood a short distance away, phone still to his ear. As she walked toward him, her steps stayed even, unhurried. She did not rush, and she did not hesitate. Light from the corridor window cut across his figure. The sharpness in his features softened the moment he…
If Donald called, it was never for a pleasant reason. A message followed immediately. ‘The wedding’s in a few days. Don’t forget to try on your dress tomorrow.’ Serena skimmed it, unimpressed, and let out a short laugh. How many times did people need to hear it? She and Trevor were over. … At the…
Later, Serena tossed and turned in bed, wide awake. She stared at the text Donald had sent her and squinted at the screen. What is he even thinking? Why hasn’t he called off the engagement yet? Is he really planning to wait until the wedding day turns into a total disaster? … The next morning,…
Trevor seemed to catch the faint sound of sniffles, but Amber’s louder cries quickly pulled his attention. There was no time to think about who else might be crying. “It’s okay, don’t cry. I’m here. I’ll always protect you. That’s right, Amber. Be good now.” After what felt like an eternity, about twenty minutes, the…
