When she heard the deafening crash of the door being kicked in downstairs and the servants screaming, she frowned in annoyance.

His eyes were bloodshot. His face was dark enough to drip venom. The air around him was thick with murderous intent.

‘Grayson, what’s-”

Serena was startled by the look on his face. She forced a smile and tried to approach him.

Wham!”

Grayson grabbed her by the throat and slammed her against the cold wall. The impact was so violent her vision went black hands, gemstones scattering across the floor.

Talk! Did you set up the kidnapping?!” His voice was hoarse, low, dripping with the kind of danger that could destroy everything.

Did you tell those men to kill Elara?!”

de flung his arm and threw her to the ground like trash.

Serena clutched her throat, coughing violently, gasping for air. Her face was a mess of tears, fear, and hatred

Grayson looked down at her, eyes cold as steel. Every word was a sentence from hell

“However long you enjoyed being Mrs. Morgan, that’s how long you’ll rot in prison.”

Every bit of pain you inflicted on Elara, 111 make you… pay back a hundred times over.”

His voice wasn’t loud. But it was absolute, Cold. Final.

Serena sat slumped on the floor, staring at the undisguised hatred in his eyes. Finally, she felt real fear.

She realized–the man who used to indulge her, who gave her endless affection–was gone. In his place was someone who’d returned from hell. Someone who lived only for revenge,

Grayson didn’t spare her another glance. He turned and walked out.

Behind him, Serena’s hysterical sobs and curses echoed through the villa. He didn’t hear them.

He had only one thought now:

Days passed peacefully like this.

The way he looked at me–his eyes were drowning in sorrow. His voice was hoarse as he apologized. Said he was sorry.

Why was this stranger in so much pain?

Noah arrived just in time and shoved him back.

Grayson, she doesn’t remember you anymore. Stay away from her!”

After that, he started showing up near the flower shop all the time. Sometimes he’d stand across the street, just watching. Sometimes he’d follow me for a Nack

or two.

He’d talk about the past. About our ten years together. His voice was full of suppressed anguish.

But none of it meant anything to me. I felt nothing.

Finally, when he stopped me again, I spoke calmly,

‘Sir, you’re really disrupting my life. Please stop showing up around me.”

Whatever he was about to say got stuck in his throat. The light in his eyes went out completely.

Later, I saw him again on the TV news. Morgan Group was involved in serious legal violations. He was arrested

Word came from the prison. He wanted to see me one last time.

I shook my head.

To me now, he was just a stranger.

Then one ordinary morning, the news reported that he’d committed suicide in prison

I turned off the TV. Went back to trimming the lilies, changing their water–same as always.
