LOGINAdrian's Point of View"Adrian!"My fingers froze above the keyboard.For a moment, I thought I had imagined it.Only a few minutes ago, I checked on her.She had been sleeping so peacefully.Her fever had gone up a little, but she looked calm, and I didn't want to wake her.I had planned to check her temperature again in another few minutes.Then..."Adrian!"This time, I knew it wasn't my imagination.Her cry was louder.Filled with desperation and panic.I didn't even realize how I got to her room.Has her fever gotten worse?Was she in pain?Countless thoughts raced through my mind.But the moment I looked at the bed...Serena was tossing restlessly.Her forehead glistened with sweat.Not just her forehead...Her entire body was covered in sweat.But what alarmed me the most were the tears streaming from the corners of her tightly shut eyes."Adrian..."She sounded so helpless.So desperate.So terrified."They're taking my baby...""Please...""Save him..."A nightmare.And judgi
Serena's Point of View"You don't have to build it alone."My gaze first fell on his hand holding mine.Then I looked into those green eyes staring at me."You have Becky. You have a caring team. And..."He paused."Me."As he said it, his fingers tightened ever so slightly around my hand.A quiet sigh escaped my lips before I could stop it.What he said was true.I was now surrounded by people who genuinely cared about me without expecting anything in return.Not even during my seven years with Rowen had I ever been surrounded by such sincere kindness.A warm smile slowly spread across my face.The first genuine smile I had managed since Rowen and Michela had appeared in my life again.Adrian noticed it immediately.The corners of his lips lifted slightly too.Then he slowly let go of my hand."Take a deep breath."He spoke calmly."And didn't I tell you..."A familiar beginning."...to focus on your work and leave the rest to me?"My smile widened.He stood up."I'll be right back."
Serena's Point of View"I asked Becky not to come."Adrian said it so casually, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.Then he calmly poured some water into a glass."Her team is working on an important deadline.""So I told her to keep working."He placed the glass beside my bowl."I came instead."For a long moment, I forgot to do anything except stare at him.My mind had become a tangled mess because of his logic.He came instead?This man...The CEO of Henrix Properties.One of the busiest people I had ever met.He asked my best friend to keep working...And he came instead.To take care of me?Before I could find any words, he gently pushed the plate of freshly cut fruit toward me."Finish the soup.""And eat some of these."His tone remained calm despite the chaos in my mind.As if this were simply another task on his schedule.After I finished the soup, Adrian reached toward me.Again, without any warning.Fortunately, I didn't freeze this time.I simply watched him,
Serena's Point of ViewFor a moment, I genuinely thought my fever had gotten worse.That I was seeing things.Otherwise, how could those green eyes be staring at me from the other side of my door?After everything that had happened.After ignoring his message.After refusing to get into his car.After pushing away all his kindness.But..."Serena..."His deep voice rose.He wasn't an illusion.He was real.He was actually standing in front of me.Holding several bags in his hand.I gripped the doorframe as tightly as I could.My heart was pounding wildly in my chest."Sir..."That was the only word I managed to say.Adrian's gaze moved across my face.His expression darkened immediately.Then he spoke again."Becky told me everything."Becky?My heart stopped.Panic immediately rose inside me."Sir, I...""Relax."His voice was as calm as ever.But softer than I had ever heard before."I am not going to do anything that would prove those baseless rumors."Those words hit me so hard.B
Adrian's Point of ViewSerena wants to resign.Those words continued to echo in my mind long after Becky Parker left my office.This was the job she had earned fair and square.She had already secured her place in this company, proving herself to be one of its most valuable assets.None of it had come easily.She had pushed herself beyond her limits.She had worked harder than most people around her.And now she wanted to leave all of it behind?Just because she didn't want anyone speaking badly about me.That kind of thinking...That kind of sacrifice...It was almost too much to bear.I sat behind my desk for a long time, completely still.As if I moved too quickly, it would break something.Becky's words replayed in my mind.Rumors.Serena hearing everything.Serena being openly harassed.Serena pretending she was fine.Serena refusing lunch.Serena avoiding me.Serena standing in the rain rather than getting into my car.Every fragment slowly fell into place.And when the full pic
Adrian's Point of View"Where is Serena?"The question was already out before I could stop it.The morning update meeting with the special project team had just started.Jack and Ben were already seated in the meeting room.But Serena...Her seat was empty.Jack and Ben exchanged a glance.Then Jack spoke."She's on leave today, sir."My fingers paused on the laptop I was opening."Leave?""She has a fever."For a moment, everything became still.A fever.All I could think about was a woman walking through a storm last evening.Rain poured mercilessly over her.Wind strong enough to make her lose her balance.A pregnant woman.Walking away from my help for reasons I still couldn't understand.Wasn't this the most likely outcome?What was I even thinking back then, letting her do whatever she wanted?"Sir?"Jack's voice pulled me back.I realized both of them were staring at me in confusion.Waiting.Waiting for me to start the meeting as I always did."Let's begin."I forced myself to
Adrian’s Point of ViewHow could she be this careless about herself?That was the thought filling my mind as I stepped into the elevator to go back to my floor.I had just finished a meeting with the Data Analytics team leads and was walking toward the elevator when she rushed too quickly and bumpe
Serena’s Point of View“We have a meeting with the CEO in fifteen minutes.”I blinked and looked up at Jack.“A meeting?”Jack nodded while opening a file on his laptop.“He’s going to give an update about the competition. Probably about the main project too.”My fingers tightened around the mouse.
Adrian’s Point of View“Was I too harsh?”I was startled.I never intended to say those words out loud. But before I could stop myself, I already had.Silence followed.Watson glanced at me briefly through the rearview mirror.But he said nothing.He knew me too well to understand that I wasn’t exp
Adrian’s Point of ViewI thought she was already home resting.But…Here she was, walking alone on a dark road this late at night.The streetlights cast long shadows across the pavement as she walked, her coat wrapped tightly around herself against the cold wind.Strangely…Quite strangely…The fir
