Ezekiel hurriedly entered his mansion without paying attention to the people who were greeting him or the person who kept talking beside him."Boss, I think I really need help. I still can't find out who has been ambushing me these past few weeks! I'm the one being attacked whenever I'm alone!" Ramil said, trying to catch up."Look, I just got off from work. Just pick anyone from the group to help you." He had been busy with the company, so he didn't want to get involved with their illegal organization for now. "If Maxwell is involved in this, then I'll take action."Ramil sighed and didn't pursue it further. "Noted, boss!"He had endured five days of being away from this place. He was taking faster and bigger steps compared to his usual walking pace.Excitement, longing, and anxiousness were fighting within his chest. He was excited because, during the five days he was away from the mansion, Serena treated him well during their phone calls. He admitted that he missed her now.But ther

"C-Come again? What did you just say?"Ezekiel thought for sure he was just hearing things. But because he was used to always hoping, he couldn't let go of the wrong words he heard.He pulled Serena closer, almost embracing her as she remained perched on his thighs.He looked at her desperately, wanting to hear the words he had just misheard.He held one hand of his wife and gently caressed it, as if coaxing. There was a pleading sparkle in his eyes.Serena swallowed her saliva and bit her lower lip, and her face came very close to his! His eyes widened as Serena suddenly kissed him on the lips.Without hesitation, he responded. As he deepened the kiss, Serena also pulled away from him.When he looked at his wife, tears were already brimming in the corners of her eyes. He wiped them away with concern before they could fall."W-What's wrong? I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean to..." he explained, even though he didn't know why he was apologizing."Y-You heard it right, Ezekiel..." she sniffled

"Hello! You look familiar?" a shy but courageous girl approached me, accompanied by others behind her. "Sorry, but you really look like Serena Laurel! Do you know Serena Laurel?""Oh my gosh! It might be her!""The camera! That's Serena Laurel!"Before I could answer, they quickly took out their cellphones and aimed their cameras at me.I smiled sweetly at them. "After three years, huh? There are still people who recognize me?""Kyaaah!!" That was their cue to scream and rush to take pictures.Compared to China, where no one recognizes Serena Laurel, here in the country, people immediately recognize me. I couldn't help but feel delighted and give them permission to take photos."Easy now, everyone," Ramil warned beside me. He blocked them and gave stern looks to those who tried to get too close. "We'll be in trouble with our boss. Just pictures, no touching, especially no hugs!"I didn't expect that more people would approach and recognize me. I felt embarrassed and hesitant, but I co

"Serena! I'm so glad you're alive and safe!" Haleanna almost cried when we saw each other for the first time after almost half a year! "Thank God you're alive!""No, thank you for being alive!" I hugged her tightly, tears welling up in my eyes.I was truly scared at the thought that something bad had happened to her because of Ezekiel; the worst of all is if she gets killed. But thankfully, my husband didn't bring me down!"How are you??" We asked each other simultaneously, like fools examining each other from head to toe.We both breathed a sigh of relief when we saw that there were no wounds or injuries on our bodies.Haleanna took care of Duziell during the times when Brantley and I were constantly arguing and fighting. I often hid my child with her, keeping it a secret from that man.I am also very grateful that she was there because otherwise, Brantley would have likely taken Duziell away from me, and who knows what he would have done to my innocent child?"How about you, Hal? Di

The next morning, loud screams greeted me. I immediately embraced Duziell tightly around my neck."What's happening here?" I angrily exclaimed in a low voice that echoed around them. "Didn't I strictly forbid any fighting or shouting inside the mansion?"I gave Davina, Barbara, and Eza a stern look. Immediately, Haleanna and Freya approached me. They all had messy hair and wrinkled uniforms."Serena, why do these three women have such behavior? Is it right for you and your husband to be gossiped about inside your own home? They're saying all sorts of things! I'm sorry, but it's annoying. I feel like slapping their faces!" Hal knew that Duziell had a trauma with loud noises, so even though he looked eager to speak up, he lowered his voice to calm him down."Gossip? Do you think it's just gossip? You, the newcomer, are even trying to please that 'senyorita'! You don't know anything! That woman is juggling two men shamelessly! And she even had a child outside of marriage—""You've gone to
