"You promised me right here that you would love me for the rest of your life, that you would stay by my side and never leave me," he whispered softly, a passionate determination faintly emanating from his dark eyes.Serenity trembled, recalling that time he stood in this memorial hall in the middle of the night. He looked terribly lonely and vulnerable, making her heart ache for him.When she saw him looking like that, she wanted to protect him with everything she had!If he felt insecure, she would do whatever it takes to make him feel safe.She would keep telling him that she loved him. Even when she remembered her past with Lucas, she acted as if she couldn't remember anything.She really was... willing to do anything for him in the past.But now... Serenity met Jackson's eyes calmly. "So? You once told me you love me too. But later, you said you don't love me anymore and wanted to break up with me... Words are cheap. Breaking a promise costs nothing.""If I don't break my pr

The corner of her lips curled up a little. She gently stroked his eyebrows with her fingers.His eyelashes fluttered slightly, but he remained still. His hands, which had been pressing on hers, slowly relaxed.Her fingers slowly moved from his eyebrows, over his eyes and down to his nose before landing on his lips.His thin lips were beautiful. They looked cold, sexy and seductive. In the past, every time he smiled, it would tug at her heartstrings. "You said you're scared of repeating your father's mistake and losing control over your own life. Does that mean you're also scared that I would betray you like your mother betrayed your father?" She spoke in a gentle tone, like the sound of a pleasant violin, her voice devoid of any anger or resentment.Her calm demeanor made him frown.The last time they were in her apartment, she was just as calm. It was a calmness that made him anxious. "Although I told you that I loved you and would never leave you, and although you told me th

The next day after work, Lisa came to look for Serenity. They went to a small restaurant for dinner.After they ordered their food, Lisa asked with concern in her voice, "Did anything happen between you and Jackson Valor yesterday? Did he give you a hard time?"Serenity hesitated before replying, "He wanted to start over with me." "What?!" Lisa exclaimed, her eyes wide, "Start over? You mean he wants to get back together with you?" "Yeah," answered Serenity. Lisa said with gritted teeth, "How dare he?! He was the one who broke up with you in the first place! Now he wants to get back together? He’s just playing with your feelings!" Lisa was probably the only person in Solaria who had the guts to talk about Jackson Valor like that.Serenity found her friend's expression amusing and couldn't suppress a chuckle. It made her feel much better. "He's quite the jerk," Serenity agreed."Did you say yes?" Lisa asked.Serenity shook her head and replied, "No, we're never going to w

"Okay, I'll ask Terry to check it out," replied Lisa. "How's Clara? Is her business doing well?" "I spoke to her this morning. She said business is slowly recovering. No one came to cause trouble anymore," Serenity informed Lisa. "That's great news!" Lisa was relieved to hear that.After dinner, Lisa drove Serenity home before heading to Terry's mansion."Are you feeling better?" Terry asked as he set aside his papers and walked over to Lisa. "Much better compared to yesterday," she replied. Terry frowned. Then she's still in pain. "How long until the pain goes away?" he inquired. Before he met her, he had never thought about how painful a woman's period was."Don't worry, it'll probably stop hurting tomorrow," Lisa answered. "Would you like me to rub your stomach again?" he asked. She certainly wouldn't mind. His stomach-rubbing skills were excellent!Lisa sat on the couch and got comfortable.Terry smiled when he saw that. He used the intercom to ask the maid to make

She came over to his house yesterday in order to watch him dance, but then her period came and she forgot about it.Terry raised an eyebrow, surprised that she still remembered. "You really want to see it?" he asked.Lisa eagerly nodded. "You don't need me to rub your stomach anymore?" he asked. "You can get back to rubbing my stomach after you dance. There's no conflict," she said with eyes that shone like stars. Terry sighed helplessly and stood up. He figured he had no choice but to satisfy her request.However... "From now on, you can't show interest in any other man, understand?" he said.Her expression betrayed a hint of guilt. After all... there were many male celebrities waiting for her to ogle at. However, under his intense stare, she spoke hastily, "I promise I'll only admire other men from an aesthetic point of view. I'll only have dirty thoughts about you," she said.He chuckled at her words. Ultimately, he complied with her wishes. He unbuttoned his collar and d

"You seem very familiar with Mr. Smith," she said. She found it surprising that a man like Lucas Gomez was acquainted with an elderly doctor in a small clinic."I've known him for a long time. When your cousin and I came down from the mountains when we were little, my leg was broken. Several doctors said that it would never heal completely. My mom then heard about Mr. Smith and took me to his clinic for treatment," Lucas explained. Serenity was shocked, "Your leg was broken?""Yeah. It took me three months to walk again," Lucas said.She didn't know he was suffering from that kind of injury back then. Did he get injured when he fell off the cliff? Serenity tried to recall what happened. She vaguely remembered that he was unable to walk after she pulled him up from the cliff. She remembered mocking him for being soft because he lived a pampered life, but his leg was actually broken. But... he never complained about his leg hurting once. He just kept apologizing to her while s

Was it because he had too many ex-girlfriends so she thought he wasn't serious about her?He still remembered that she used to mock him for having so many substitutes. She said that if he really missed someone, no matter how many substitutes he found, it was pointless.Come to think of it, wasn't he reaping what he sowed now?There had never been a woman like her who was out of his reach, yet would always appear in his mind and linger there.Even though there were times when he wanted to forget her, he had never really been able to.He would even make an enemy out of Jackson Valor for her!While he was lost in thought, a sudden painful groan came from the treatment room. Lucas sprang to his feet, sprinted to the treatment room and pushed the door open!Mr. Smith was poking a needle into the back of Serenity's hand, and she... Lucas could not move his eyes away from her face.Serenity's eyes were tightly closed and her eyebrows were furrowed. She was biting her lower lip hard

She had no idea how much time had passed before she heard Mr. Smith say, "It's done!" The intense pain on the back of her hand started subsiding. Serenity took a deep breath and opened her eyes.The first thing she saw was Lucas' arm.She realized that she had been grabbing onto it this whole time. "Sorry!" she quickly let go."Don't worry about it. I asked you to grab it," Lucas said, pulling his hand back. "Come again next week at the same time," Mr. Smith told Serenity, "Remember, avoid getting your hand wet and lifting heavy objects for 3 hours." "Got it." Serenity replied. After leaving Mr. Smith's clinic, Lucas offered to drive Serenity home."I... I'll just take the bus," Serenity declined his offer and turned around to leave.Lucas stopped her. "I'm just giving you a ride home. I'm not asking you to promise me anything. You don't have to avoid me like this.""I don't want to trouble you," she pushed his hand away, which made him frown and let out a muffled groan
