Chapter 65
Feeling the chilly breeze against her body, Serene curled herself like a cooked shrimp. She hugged her knees closer to her torso as she laid on the cold gutter, exhaustion forced her to sleep.
A gentle pat on her shoulder pulled her out of her sleep. Her lashes flutter as she tries to open her eyes.
“Jus… Justin?” she asked, her voice hoarse and barely got out of her parched mouth.
“No, Madame. It’s me Jane.” Jane’s gentle voice and eyes tugged her heart. Her cloudy eyes showed her usual gentleness but today, she saw pity mixed in those gentle orbs. Of course, she pitied her. Who wouldn’t, she slept the night outside of Justin’s villa, exposed from the elements? Serene let out a pained smile. The things she did for love.

After attending his meetings, Justin sat at his desk buried in a mountain of paperwork. He was back to his old workaholic self.His brows knitted together as he focused on his computer screen. His fingers deftly flew on the keyboard as he composed an email in total concentration. Since their breakup, he buried himself with work. Exhaustion had been his friend. Serene could not invade an exhausted mind and body.“Come in,” Justin said, not bothering to look away from his screen.“Mr. Rain, the Security department sent this external drive containing the security audio and videos of your office for the past quarter. You can review it and let me know if we could delete them,” his secretary said in a single breath.“Ok. Leave it here,

Justin did not know how long he slumped on his office floor. His fist bled from punching the wall. His hands held his temples and his usually tidy hair fell on his face like curtains. He cried uncontrollably. His chest rose and fell as his breathing became laborious; his shoulders shook from his cries. He could not recall the last time he wept this way. He picked up his phone and dialed her number, and just like his previous attempts, an electronic voice told him that the number was no longer in service. He lost her. No, he will not accept it. Didn’t she say she loved him? She will not leave him. The loud ringing of his phone cut off his ramblings. With trembling hands, he looked at the display, but his heart sank when he saw Dylan’s name instead of hers. “Hey,” he choked.

Each had been planting kisses on her face.“Mom, wake up,” Felicity’s adorable voice said as she pulled on her arm.She lazily opened her eyes and looked at the smiling faces before her. What a way to wake up each day, she said to herself.“Good morning, babies! Give Mama a kiss, please,” she said and pouted her lips. Pax hopped on her lap and kissed her waiting lips, followed by Felicity. She tickled each one of them, making them shriek with laughter.She quickly changed their diapers and pajamas and gave them thawed breastmilk.
