Serena Montgomery tried to leave Adrian Blackwood a thousand different ways
First time—she slit her wrists, hard-hearted, but they brought her back
Second time—she ran with his baby in her belly, but he dragged her home
Third time—her rival gave her the ticket out… and there was no after
That night she sobbed until her eyes were blood-red, voice cracking:
“Adrian Blackwood, you never once believed I loved you.”
The man went quiet for a beat, then crushed his cigarette dead and rasped,
“Serena Montgomery… do you even have a heart?”
He’s the one who keeps tangling them together, the one who won’t let go
He loves her—fiercely, fearfully—and always has; from the first second to this last.
