Serena's POVHelen.The one person who stayed with me through everything, what about her?I must've been staring too hard into space because Adrian's voice slowly pulled me back.“Are you good? You've been quiet.”“I'm okay.”He didn't look convinced.After a moment, I sighed softly. “I remembered someone.”“Someone?”“A friend.”Something softened in his expression. “You miss them?”More than he knew, I looked away briefly before nodding.“I was wondering…” I hesitated. “Would one of the drivers be able to take me somewhere tomorrow morning?”Adrain stayed quiet before asking. “Will you be alone?”“Yes.”“Will you be safe?”“I think so.”His eyes studied me carefully for a moment before he finally nodded. “As long as you won't be in danger, I'm fine with it.”Relief settled inside me immediately. “Thank you.”He gave a small nod. “What time?”“Morning.”“Alright.”After that we continued talking quietly for a while longer, nothing serious, just random conversations. But exhaustion s

Serena's POVFor the first time since waking up in Lilith's body, I woke feeling calmer, not completely okay but better.The conversations Adrian and I shared the previous night lingered softly in my mind while morning sunlight spilled across the bed sheets.Adrian still felt distant and cold sometimes but now I understood where he was coming from.It was a habit, a protection…and somehow, knowing that made me trust him slightly easier.Not fully, not yet but enough. I sat up slowly against the headboard before reaching for Lilith's phone resting beside me.This time, when I unlocked the phone, my hands weren't trembling.I wanted answers, I carefully reopened the recordings and notes while paying attention to the dates.And slowly I started noticing the patterns.Catherine's visits to the Laurent estate increased drastically once the wedding date got closer.At first the visits happened occasionally, then weekly and then almost daily.And the unknown woman appeared less as the weddi

Serena's POVI spent the entire evening waiting for Adrian to come home.At first, I told myself it was only because I needed answers about Catherine, that woman, about Lilith…But as the hours dragged on slowly, I realized that wasn't entirely true. For some reason, Adrian's presence made the mansion feel less suffocating and lonely. After everything I had discovered earlier that day, loneliness suddenly felt unbearable. The hidden files, the recordings, the bruises and Lilith's fear.It all replayed endlessly in my mind no matter how hard I tried to distract myself. By the time the clock struck nine, I was sitting near the bedroom window anxiously twisting the sleeve of my sweater between my fingers.The mansion remained painfully quiet, too quiet and I hated it.Finally, close to ten, I heard movement downstairs, and relief hit me before I could stop it. I immediately left the room.By the time I finally reached downstairs, Adrian had just entered the mansion while loosening hi

Serena's POVI barely slept that night, every time I closed my eyes, I saw the files again. The passwords, the hidden folders, the dates, and the fear buried inside every single thing Lilith had hidden away.By morning, my chest still felt heavy.The sunlight spilling through the curtains did nothing to calm the unease twisting inside me.For several long seconds, I sat on the bed staring blankly ahead.The fact that I was even living inside another woman's body while my own life remained somewhere else entirely.But somehow, what disturbed me most now wasn't myself anymore…it was Lilith. The deeper I looked into her life, the more I realized something terrible had happened to her long before the wedding. And nobody helped her.Slowly, I reached for the phone beside me again, my fingers hesitated, and I brushed over the screen before unlocking it carefully. Part of me wanted to stop digging but another part needed answers.I needed to know why Lilith sounded so terrified in those

“Don't let them kill me again…”The words left my mouth before I could stop them.My fingers clutched tightly onto Adrian's shirt while tears burned down my face uncontrollably.For one humiliating second, I forgot where I was and whom I was supposed to be.All I could feel was fear, fear from the accident, fear from Vanessa's cold eyes, fear from Damian standing there watching while blood poured from my head.Everything came rushing back all at once until I couldn't breathe properly anymore.And strangely, Adrian didn't push me away.He stayed while I cried against him, his hand remaining firm against my shoulder as if grounding me back to reality.The room remained quiet except for my uneven breathing.I hated this, I hated crying in front of someone I barely knew.Slowly, after what felt like forever, my breathing steadied, and reality returned painfully.And with it came embarrassment.Oh my God, I was still holding onto him.I pulled away immediately, wiping my tears quickly befo
