Cristian was interested in Serena, not her past.

But Cristian's heart went crazy with jealousy when he thought that Francis, that cursed man, had once had Serena and that Serena had even given him a son. But Cristian still loved Serena deeply.

He had waited five years and this time, one way or another, he wanted Serena, his better half, to stay with him.

-Mr. Cristian, Mr. Cristian?

Cristian heard Luca's voice calling his name in his headphones, bringing his thoughts back to reality, and it was at that moment that his mind lingered on something.

-Mr. Cristian, I am going to investigate what Miss Serena has been going through these past five years..." Luca interjected.

-No,II Cristian interrupted and distracted Luca in time, -Don't be hasty, go and do what I ordered you to do."

With that said, Cristian ended the phone conversation.

Staring at the screen of his turned-off phone, Cristian thought about the shoes he had seen earlier in the shoe rack.

He had never seen Serena's son.

He wondered what Serena's child would be like, he who had been made with another man.

Would Serena have a son just like her ex-husband?

Cristian clenched his fists at the thought of that child appearing to him in the future with a face like Serena's ex-husband. Damn it!

He was still going crazy with jealousy.

Why couldn't Serena be his in every way?

Cristian calmed down for a moment and clenched his fist.

It was better to wait for the two of them to work things out face to face.

Serena was hiding the baby well now, probably because she was worried that Cristian would not be able to accept it.

***

It was the next day when Serena woke up again. The room was quiet and she blinked as she lay on the bed, waiting a while, but no one came in. Had Cristian gone to work?

It was possible, Serena got out of bed. Although the organ between her legs hurt when she walked, it was already much better than yesterday.

She went to her bedroom door and silently opened it, peeking through a crack outside she saw that all was quiet.

Serena opened the door and went outside to look around, replaceing no one downstairs.

Had Cristian returned?

A superficial sense of loss hit her, but that feeling was soon filled with another wave of emotion. Serena re-entered the room, knelt down, and began looking for yesterday's birth control pills. She had been looking for several minutes, but still had not seen the bottle with the pill.

Strange, had Cristian taken the pill in his sleep?

Then Serena picked up her phone and made a call to Anna.

Anna was joking with her when she answered the phone.

-Serena, why haven't you been in the office the last two days?" said Anna, giggling.

Serena resisted the urge to roll her eyes and asked calmly, -Are you in the office right now? Are you free?

-Yes, in the office, I'm free now, what's up?

-I want you to buy me something, okay?

Anna answered in a very innocent tone, -Yes, what do you want to buy? I'll buy it after work and bring it to you.

-No," Serena shook her head, "I need you to go and buy it for me now, I can't go out now."

One reason was the risk of Serena being followed after leaving the house, and another was that she could not leave the house at all.

Her legs ached from taking a few steps, and even more so if she went out to buy medicine.

-Well, does it bother you right now? Are you menstruating? Then I'll go buy it right now and send it to you at home.

-Serena shook her head, it was a little difficult for her to say these things to Anna, but now she had no one else to turn to but Anna. Finally, Serena confessed, -I need birth control pills.

-Yes, no problem, I'll take them right away.... Wait a minute? -Serena, what did you say you wanted me to buy for you?

On the other end of the phone, Serena covered her face, she felt so embarrassed.

-Contraceptive pills.

Finally she repeated it.

-Contraceptive pills? Why are you asking me to buy birth control pills? Did you have sex with Cristian?

-Yes.

As Anna had asked, Serena confessed and told Anna everything that had happened in the last two days.

-This is all I can tell you for now. It's rather urgent at the moment, so I'd like you to go and get them now if you can.

The two were good friends, so how could Anna not help her?

-Then I'll go get them now, wait for me at home.

-Okay.

Serena nodded, but suddenly she thought of something and barked at Anna again.

-By the way, if you meet Cristian while you're here, don't tell him why you're here, just pretend you're here to give me the papers. -All right, I'll keep that in mind.

After hanging up, Serena took her cell phone and lay back down on the bed.

After about ten minutes, the room was still silent, and Serena could not help but begin to wonder.

Why had Cristian suddenly disappeared? He had said he would watch Serena 24 hours a day, so why had he suddenly disappeared? This doubt lasted until Anna returned.

Because Anna had entered Serena's room, but Cristian had not yet appeared.

-Serena, II Anna cautiously entered Serena's room, and her next action was to close the bedroom door behind her, -I'm coming.

Seeing Anna gave Serena a surreal feeling. She had not expected things to be so easy, so much so that she felt extraordinarily surprised. Serena stood up and sat down nervously, looking behind Anna.

-Did you see Cristian when you arrived?

- Mr. Cristian," Anna looked a little surprised as she hurriedly shook her head, -No, I didn't see him.

-No? Serena thought it was all too strange. Cristian had sworn yesterday, how could he have been absent today?

Cristian could not be this kind of person.

Serena felt that something was wrong.

She looked at Anna and noticed that her face was a little abnormally pale and her lips had little color.

-What is wrong with you?

-Anna winced like a rabbit at his question, -What happened?

-Why are you so pale, are you sick?" asked Serena with concern.

Anna shook her head hastily, "No no no, I'm fine.

-Where are the things I asked you to buy?

Anna opened her bag and handed Serena a small bottle.

Serena was very happy to see the pill and hurried to take it, but she dared not take it now, so she quickly hid the bottle under her pillow.

Anna looked at the scene with a complicated expression.

- Will it be all right?

-It's okay, I don't want to get pregnant with your child.

-But Manuel...

At the mention of Manuel, Serena suddenly stiffened: -Don't mention Manuel, don't forget what you promised me.

-Don't worry, I will surely hide him for you until the grave.
