The game between him and her had come to an end! On her 28th birthday, God had decided to give her a taste of cruelty far beyond what she could have imagined.Dragging her two suitcases behind her, Serenity struggled to get down the stairs. When she finally made it out of the house, she bumped into the housekeeper.He was obviously surprised when he saw her dressed so plainly and pulling her suitcases.“Where are you going, Ms. Lewis?” “I’m moving out,” replied Serenity. “Jackson and I have broken up, so there’s no reason for me to stay anymore.” What?!The housekeeper appeared shocked. Broken up? With Mr. Valor?! But today… wasn’t today Serenity’s birthday? Didn’t Jackson arrange for a special birthday menu in the evening?However, judging by Serenity’s tone right now, it didn’t sound like she was joking. For a moment, the housekeeper was confounded.However, Serenity didn’t say a word. She continued dragging her suitcase and walked out of the Valor residence.The housekeeper proc

Clara was surprised. She could sense that something was wrong. "What's wrong? Did something happen?""...Yeah. I'll tell you later," Serenity struggled to keep her voice natural. "Please tell Yanny I'm sorry I can't treat him to cake today. Tell him I'll buy him a cake to make it up to him." "Don't worry about it. If you need any help, you know you can always come to me. I know I can't do much, but two heads are better than one," said Clara.Clara saw Serenity as a true friend.After getting out of jail, she left her hometown to avoid Wilson Birch. She had lost contact with all of her past friends. She hardly had anyone around her she could call a friend now.Serenity was pretty much the only one!"Thanks, Clara. Don't worry, I'll be fine," Serenity said before ending the call.That's right, she'd be fine. She's just going through another breakup, that's all. She's just crashing down to earth once more.However, it wasn't as bad as the last time. The last time, she was wrongfu

Her wish now was to forget him! She wanted to wipe this relationship from her memory! She wanted to forget the man called Jack! From now on, he's Mr. Jackson Valor to her!After making the wish silently, Serenity slowly opened her eyes and blew out the candles."I'll cut the cake," she said and cut herself, Lisa and Terry a slice of cake each.Serenity took a bite of the cake.The cake... was obviously supposed to be sweet, but it tasted bitter to her.After finishing the cake, Lisa said she would spend the night there to keep Serenity company, but Serenity told her, "You don’t have to. I want some time alone so that I can get some good rest".Lisa hesitated for a bit before saying, "Err... Fine. Get some sleep, then. I'll be back tomorrow morning.""Yup," Serenity nodded. Seeing her friend's worried face, she smiled again and said, "Lisa, I'll be fine."The smile only made Lisa feel worse.After leaving the inn, Lisa got into Terry's car. She still had a worried frown on her

From now on, he would be free of worry and fear. He would not have to worry about her falling in love with Lucas Gomez anymore, nor worry about how much Lucas Gomez meant to her.He would not make the same mistake his father did. He would never become wretched and pathetic for love like his father.Never!Jackson left the kitchen and went upstairs.Connor gazed at his boss' back with a complex expression.If there was anyone in the world who could dictate Mr. Valor's life and death... for some reason, at that moment, the name Serenity Lewis crossed his mind.The following morning, when Serenity woke up, she spotted a neatly-wrapped present on her bed. It was a birthday present from Lisa and Terry.She did not open it last evening.Serenity sat up slowly and opened the present. It was a charming doll dressed in a lawyer's outfit that resembled her.There was also a handwritten card from Lisa inside. It read, "I hope every day brings you joy and takes you a step closer to your

But... Serenity looked down at her flat stomach.She's afraid she would never have children of her own. In the past, the problem was physical. She believed she was physically unable to have kids.Now, her body could potentially recover, but she was already tired. She no longer had the courage to believe in love!Serenity arrived at the small restaurant after 7:00 pm, so it was past the peak hours. "There you are!" When Clara saw Serenity, she greeted her and immediately noticed Serenity's tired-looking face. She asked, "Have you had dinner? Do you want something to eat?" Serenity pondered and said, "Sure. Can I have some spaghetti? I haven't had that in a while." "No problem. One spaghetti, coming right up!" Clara said and passed the order to the kitchen.It didn't take long for a plate of tasty spaghetti to arrive. "Enjoy! Consider it your belated birthday treat!" "Thanks," Serenity said before quietly eating the spaghetti. Clara let Serenity eat in peace. She went aro
