Serena froze, her mind flashing back to those three months in the hospital. Even now, just remembering it hurt.

Who does he think he is, coming here and questioning me? Serena thought.

He looked so upset, but she had no idea what he was even upset about.

“Dylan, do you really think if I told you everything, you’d suddenly fall for me?” Serena’s voice shook. She continued, “After your surgery, I handed the meds to Hazel so she could take care of you.

“I was so sick from the infection that I had to transfer to another hospital. The pain was unbearable. I honestly thought I might die. But even then, all I could think about was you.

“I was terrified you’d get lost in that darkness and never make it out. I couldn’t visit you, so all I could do was write letters.”

“Everything I did for you was because I wanted to. I never expected anything back. Whether you know or not, it doesn’t really matter,” she said softly.

She added, “But maybe if I’d told you, things would’ve played out differently. Back then, you would’ve trusted Eliana over me, no matter what I said.”

Dylan froze. He had to admit, back then, he wouldn’t have trusted her.

“Stella…” he murmured.

“Dylan, what’s done is done. Let’s just go our separate ways from now on,” Serena said, keeping her voice calm.

She didn’t want to get caught up with him anymore. Once was enough. She wasn’t going to let herself get hurt again

No matter what, they’d never truly be together. In the end, she was still herself, and he was still him.

When it came to the boy she once loved, Serena’s conscience was clear. She had nothing to feel guilty about.

She believed every woman kept a boy tucked away in her heart, and no matter how strong or extraordinary Serena was, she was just as ordinary in that way.

The boy in her heart was still there, but Dylan wasn’t that boy anymore.

Dylan stared at her. Her cold, indifferent eyes could kill. She was breathtaking. Her beauty was deadly

Now that he knew everything, he was no longer the man he used to be. To her, he was just the boy who lived in her heart, the one she loved most.

His eyes were gentle, his voice soft. “Stella, you were the one who loved me first. Now, it’s my turn to love you?

Serena was caught off guard. It was the first time Dylan had ever called her by such an affectionate name. But there was no future for them. She furrowed her brows. “My name is Serena, not Stella

‘But you’ll always be Stella in my heart Dylan replied, with a quiet smile on his lips

Seriously? Serena thought.

Dylan steadied his emotions and crouched down in front of Llam Liam, I’m sorry. From how on. I’ll be a better ad you

Ikas lowered his gaze, reforming to meet his eyes.

Dylan komme he couldn’t force it. He’d have to take things slow.

He reached on and gently ruffled Liam’s hair, then stood up straight, his presence almost overwhelming,

Jover for a moment, Serena felt like Dylan was back to his old self, wise and composed. But that natural rebellious streak of his always seemed to dip out, no matter how hard he tried to hide it

Serena pressed her liga together. “Dylan, I’ve said all I have to say?

She left with Lam

Dylan didn’t try to stop them. He just trailed behind, watching Serena and Liam get into the car and drive off. Only after he saw them leave did he get into his own car.

He didn’t go after them. He knew he couldn’t force anything, All he’d ever brought her was pain.

If he wanted to make things right, he had to become stronger and make sure every threat around her was gone.

As soon as Jasper crossed his mind, Dylan’s eyes darkened with murderous intent.

Dylan picked up his phone and called Miles,

Mr. Ashford, did you see Ms. Haler Miles answered almost instantly.

“Yeah, I saw her. Tell Jasper about how Eliana and I got separated. Let the bad guys handle each other,” Dylan said coldly.

Eliana had been plotting everything from the start. Dylan was never the good guy, and every ounce of pain Stella had suffered, Eliana would have to endure it all, too.

Miles was at a loss for words,

He was still totally in the dark about what was actually happening.

Got it, Mr. Ashford. I’ve checked the call records between Jasper and Eliana. A bunch of them have been scrubbed. Someone really went out of their way to erase the evidence, Miles reported.

Jasper’s a real slick operator. Whenever he’s up to something shady, he’s always prepared, using burner phones and untraceable SIM cards to cover his tracks,” Miles added.

Just thinking about all those billions wasted on Jasper made rage simmer in Dylan’s eyes.

Tell Jasper about Eliana. Do it now, he snapped.
