"Well, I promise. I'll be here, always. You'll always find me." Serenity's voice was gentle and comforting, soothing his restless heart.Jackson lowered his head, his gaze locked on her eyes. "Really? You're not lying?""Yes, I promise," Serenity said. Jackson loved her so much. She believed he would not do something that would hurt her.Jackson was not Wilson Birch. Her story with him would not be the same as Wilson and Clara's."Then tell me that you love me, that you would hate not seeing me," Jackson rasped, his eyes filled with love and desire for her.The look in Jackson's eyes occasionally surprised Serenity. He looked at her like she was the only woman in the world. Almost as if she was his whole world. How much did he love her?Serenity had been sceptical about his love at first. Now, she was sure.Serenity put her hand on his cheek and said, "I love you." Still, she wondered why he was so insecure about love. Was he afraid because of his childhood experience? If so, sh

"Well, I feel like I can support myself with my job," Serenity stated. A faint glint flickered in Jackson's eyes. Then, he smiled softly. "I'll send you to work today," he offered, kissing her forehead. Then, he lifted the quilt and got out of bed. "Oh!" Serenity let out a low gasp and reflexively looked away.Her shy reaction amused him. He found her really adorable."What? You don't like that?" Jackson turned back. He propped himself up on top of her, his breath close to her.Serenity's cheeks heated up red. With him this close, she did not know where to look. "I-I'm just shy.""What is there to be shy about?" Jackson pulled her hand to him, letting her feel the skin of his chest. "Didn't you touch me here yesterday? You've already seen it all. We're in love with each other. It's only natural for you to look at me. Well, unless you find me unattractive.""Of course not!" Serenity instinctively refuted, her face burning redder as soon as her words escaped her. Gosh! What was

As the years passed, the hideous scar had gradually faded and become lighter, but it remained on his skin. Jackson could remove the scars easily with the cosmetic technology today, but he never did. It was as if he kept the scar as a reminder. Jackson's insecurity about relationships seemed to stem from his mother. What about Serenity? Serenity also had some insecurities. She became afraid of love after Zeke's betrayal and thought she would be alone for the rest of her life, but Jackson made her feel secure. He made her want to love again."What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Jackson looked up and met Serenity's eyes. Her emotions seemed to be heartache mixed with a hint of sympathy and something else he could not understand. Serenity snapped back to her senses and shook her head. "It's nothing. I just realized that I love you very much." She leaned forward slightly and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Jack, I'll be good to you. Always."Was Jackson insecure?

Clara could tell that Serenity had fallen hard for Jackson. Still, after thinking about it, she decided to stay silent. After all, Serenity had been through just as much as Clara. Serenity must have considered the worries she had. She could only hope for Serenity's good ending and pray that she would not end up like her.Lisa was free in the afternoon and started chatting with Serenity. When she learned that her best friend had gone to Finn Gordon's movie premiere, she gasped in surprise, wishing she had been there yesterday.Lisa then asked Serenity about the meeting yesterday and wanted to see a photo or something.Serenity sent Lisa the group photos that Jackson had taken for her yesterday on her phone. As for the autograph and signed posters, she would have to take pictures of them later."Wow! I'm so jealous of you! You got to meet Finn up close! I heard he's got a couple more roadshows coming up in Solaria. I wonder if I can meet him!" Lisa exclaimed."Do you really want to

"I have two more posters to go," Serenity said."Let me." Jackson grabbed the phone from Serenity's hand. He took the photo of the remaining posters and sent them to Lisa. Why let her take the photos? He would rather do it himself."You're done?" Serenity was surprised by his speed."Yeah. It's just two posters. How long did you think it'd take?" Jackson said.Serenity glanced at the photos Jackson had just sent to her friend. Uh... It was a little bit off-center. She wondered if Lisa would mind. Perhaps she should retake them again later.Serenity clicked on the photo album in her phone and started looking through the photos Jackson had taken of her and Finn yesterday. She planned to print out one of them as a nice memory with her favorite star."Why are you still looking at these photos?" A fit of new jealousy rose in Jackson once more."I'm going to print one for the photo album," Serenity said."Is he really that good-looking?" There was a strong hint of jealousy in Jackson

Serenity put her face close to his. She even took the initiative and pressed a kiss on his lips. "You're the most beautiful in my eyes. You're the one I love. Stars are just stars. I'd go through fire and water for you, but not for a celebrity. So don't be jealous."Since Jackson was extremely insecure, she would try to change that and let him feel assured!'Go through fire and water...' Jackson was slightly startled. He had not expected her to say this. Serenity's words washed over Jackson in warm waves, filling his heart with warmth and spreading to the rest of his body.Serenity Lewis. His most beloved Serenity."I'd go through fire and water for you too!" Jackson muttered softly, his words like a heavy promise.It was a promise to her—a promise of a lifetime. Serenity had become a part of Jackson's life without him realizing it. She was more important than his life!***Meanwhile, Lisa was happily looking at the pictures her friend had sent her.Hmm... So handsome! Finn was

Terry was good-looking and nice to Lisa. He wondered why Lisa would not put the same kind of passion into him instead of chasing stars. She did not even have a picture of him on her phone."Were you looking at Finn?" Terry looked through Lisa's phone and found her chat with Serenity. Serenity was the one who had sent the picture of Finn. 'Lisa is just like a perv!' Terry thought as he went through the chat conversation, and he grew angrier as he read the chat. Seriously, Lisa?! It seemed he had to remind her that she was dating him!"Yup." Lisa was surprisingly frank. "Serenity is so lucky. Jackson took her to Finn's movie premier. She even met Finn in person! Finn gave her these posters.""He's just an actor. What's so great about him and these posters?" Terry said.Lisa raised her eyebrow. She did not like what she heard. "What? Are you looking down on actors?"Terry's face darkened. His beautiful dark eyes gazed at her. "What? Are you going to speak up for him?" There was a h

Lisa almost choked on the food in her mouth. She swallowed hard and looked up to meet Terry's deep eyes. His gaze was pinned to her as if trying to see through her."Well..." Lisa bit her lips. It took her a while before she could manage an excuse. "Because you... You seem a little too cool sometimes, just like... You seem untouchable, so... I feel shy to be intimate with you."Lisa felt a little guilty as she spoke. She thought of what she had done with him years ago which had landed her in her current situation. She would love to be intimate with him again but had no guts to do so!'Hah! Be intimate with him again?!' Lisa warned herself in her mind. She just did not want to get into more trouble with him in the future."But why didn't you feel the same back then? You even went ahead and did it." Terry questioned in amusement.Lisa's breath caught. If she knew her one mistake would lead her to such a result, she would not have gotten herself drunk. "Well, I was drunk, and you kno

Lisa's cheeks were burning red. Her eyes were half-closed, her head resting on Terry's shoulder. There was a faint alcohol smell in the car.Lisa might be completely drunk, but Terry remained sober. There were times he hoped he could get drunk as easily as she did. Maybe he would think less if he did.Terry stiffened suddenly. Someone's hand was moving around his chest slowly. Lisa was very drunk and would not stay still."Lisa. Do you know what you're doing?" Terry asked, but he laughed at himself as soon as the words were out of his mouth. What was he doing? Questioning a drunk woman? She probably would not know what he was asking.However, Lisa answered, "Yeah, I know... I'm touching you..."'Good. She knows.' Terry thought and sneered, "Won't you regret it again after you sober up?"Despite that, he was still a little reluctant to pull her hand off his chest.This time, Lisa simply ignored him and carried on, muttering something. She raised her head slightly a few moments la

'Drinking?!' Lisa suddenly jolted at the thought. She rubbed her head and struggled to open her eyes. The memories of last night gradually came to her mind as she stared at the ceiling.Right. Lisa remembered drinking a lot when she had a late supper with Terry. After that... She had gotten drunk... And then...Her fuzzy memories gradually wandered into her head. She remembered getting into the car with Terry and touching him! What happened after that? She vaguely remembered saying something but could not remember what exactly she had said!Lisa eventually gave up and stopped thinking. She prayed that those words she could not remember were not offensive to Terry, or he would be thinking of ways to get back at her. Lisa got up and changed her clothes. As soon as she left her room, she ran into her parents."Hey, why did you drink so much last night? You were very drunk. Fortunately, Terry was with you last night and sent you back. Otherwise, what would have happened to you?" Her
