But when he asked her like that, it felt like a sharp knife stabbing straight into her chest. Her heart, already shattered, ached so much that the pain drained all color from her face.
Her smile was as fragile as a flower caught in a storm, full of sorrow. “Dylan, how can you ask me that so calmly?
“How could you be so cruel, rubbing salt into my wounds? Don’t you know who saved you? We’ve been together for three years, and you never once cared about the pain I’ve carried?”
She added, “Do you even know how I felt when I heard you say it was Eliana who saved you?
‘It hurt so much I could hardly breathe. I never thought the person I risked my life for would turn around and give all the credit to his beloved Eliana.
‘Dylan, you know exactly how much it hurts when you ask me that. Why do you have to twist the knife?”
Her eyes brimmed with heartbreak, ready to overflow.
She drew in a shaky breath, fighting to keep her fury from boiling over.
Dylan watched her, trying to suppress her agony, his whole body trembling. ‘What the hell have I done?‘ he thought.
Then Serena’s voice cut through the silence, cold and distant. “I put my wounds right in front of you, but you never wanted to believe me. So why would you ever trust what I say?
‘If I told you it was me who saved you back then, not Eliana, you’d just think I was causing drama, just jealous of Eliana.”
Dylan froze, his eyes reddening at the corners. If she had said that back then, he would have just mocked her mercilessly.
‘I’m sorry,” Dylan muttered, bowing his head. His voice was low and muffled, like distant thunder, heavy with pain.
He never realized just how much pain Serena had been carrying.
God, I was such an idiot, Dylan thought, guilt twisting in his gut. ‘I fell for every bit of crap my mom and Eliana fed me without a second thought.
Serena’s breath caught. ‘What good is an apology now?‘ she thought with a cold sneer.
She couldn’t even tell if Dylan actually knew the truth and was just lying to himself, or if he was really that clueless.
Real or fake, it was all behind her now.
Now, she was living her best life.
Tears welled up in Serena’s eyes, but she wiped them away gently before speaking, her voice thick with emotion. You don’t need to feel sorry.
“I did it all for you of my own free will. I’m not holding it against you. I just wanted you to know the truth, to finally get the fairness I deserve. Now you know, and that’s all the closure I ever needed
“We don’t owe each other anything anymore. Let’s just move on and live our own lives, she wondersl
Serena let out a sarcastic, mocking laugh. “Dylan, you know, I used to envy how you loved Eliana Just talking about her.

You wanted to give her everything good in the world. But now? I don’t envy you at all. Turns out your love is cheap after all The second she messed up, you just dropped her like she was nothing?”
Serena laughed, not even sure why. She just felt like laughing.
She sneered, “I used to want to see you two love each other till the end of time. You loved her so much you were willing to lie for her, but you can’t even forgive her for a few mistakes?
Dylan, this isn’t over. The woman you love most is probably going to hit you where it hurts the most. Brace yourself.
