At that moment, hearing what Deborah just said, Serenity narrowed her eyes and raised an eyebrow. Her expression shifted slowly, her jaw tightening with growing suspicion. Then, with a firm voice that held no hint of fear or doubt, she said, “Why do I feel like you’re lying to me, Lady?”She folded her arms, her sharp gaze fixed like a spotlight. “I’m not the kind of person you lie to. You know that. Or maybe you don’t,” she added coldly. “But let me remind you, I'm not just anyone. I'm Serenity. You lying to me is not only disrespectful… it's dangerous.”Immediately Jessica took a slow breath and shifted uncomfortably, glancing at her mother, silently urging her to be careful. But Deborah didn’t flinch. Not yet.Then Serenity took a small step closer. “I’m going to ask you again, nicely,” she said, her voice even, yet deadly serious. “Go inside. Tell Damien I’m out here. I don’t care what plans you have or what secrets you think you’re keeping. I want to talk to him. Now.”For a brie

At that moment, hearing the way Damien spoke so direct, so dismissive, and clearly siding with Jessica and Deborah Serenity’s eyes narrowed just a little. She wasn’t the type to play victim, and she wasn’t here for games. Her face didn’t flinch, but her voice came out low and firm.“Well,” she said, her gaze locked on Damien, “I don’t have time to stand here and blab either. I didn’t come here to argue with your little circle of fans.”Damien raised a brow slightly, but Serenity didn’t give him time to speak.“I came here for one thing. Just one,” she added, brushing a few strands of hair behind her ear. “And now that you’re finally here, let’s talk about it.”Without waiting for a reply, she turned around and started walking toward where she had parked her car. Her heels clicked against the ground, echoing the weight in the air.Damien stood there for a few seconds, uncertain. He didn’t exactly want to follow her not after all the chaos she had just stirred but something in him was c

At that moment, without wasting any more time, Damien turned away. His face was quiet, but his steps were fast. He didn’t say a word. He just walked toward his house and opened the door. Then click he shut it behind him. The sound was soft, but it felt loud. Like something had ended.Deborah and Jessica around looked at each other. about to whispered. or just stared. The air felt heavy.Serenity stood there, still. Her hands were at her sides, and her lips were pressed together. Her heart felt full of something she couldn’t name pain, maybe. Or shame. Or fire.That was when Debora stepped forward. She smiled, but it wasn’t a kind smile. It was the kind of smile that cuts. The kind that says “I win.” Deborah folded her arms and shook her head like she pitied Serenity. “Mrs Serenity,” she said, loud enough for people around to hear, “I’ve seen it now. The person you’re trying to get doesn’t even want you. It’s clear. Everyone can see it.”She took another step forward and tilted her

At that moment, upon hearing what her personal assistant just said, Serenity froze where she stood.Her brows pulled together instantly, confusion swirling into disbelief. Her heart skipped a beat not out of fear, but out of the sheer weight behind the information. Her assistant’s words rang louder than they should’ve. The entire royal family? Not one branch, not one territory… but all?She slowly turned away from the chaos behind her, stepping toward a little where the air felt a little less suffocating. The phone remained pressed to her ear, but her voice came out lower now, as if even the wind couldn’t be trusted to overhear her.“Are you really sure about this?” she asked, trying to keep her tone level, but her voice trembled slightly. “Are you really sure that the entire Royal Family is having an emergency meeting… of all the Royal Families? Are you really sure?”Her personal assistant didn’t hesitate.“Yes, ma’am,” he said firmly, the seriousness in his voice leaving no room for

That was when Serenity finally managed to push herself forward, her legs trembling beneath her as she hurried over to where Jessica and Deborah were still kneeling, both of them visibly struggling under the crushing pressure in the air. They looked like they had been forced into submission by a power too great for them to resist spiritual or otherwise.Their faces were pale, lips trembling, hair clinging to their skin as if weighed down by invisible chains. Serenity could barely breathe as she reached them, each step feeling like a mountain on her back. But she pushed through. She had to. There was no time to think. No time to fear.Without hesitation, she grabbed Jessica by the arm with one hand and Deborah with the other. “We need to move,” she whispered sharply, but there was a softness in her tone too something between urgency and fear. “Get up. We’re leaving this place now.”With great effort, she helped them to their feet. Jessica staggered. Deborah winced. But Serenity didn't l
