5 Liams shocked gaze met mine as I spun around , phone still in hand .
Before I could explain , he rushed to me , gripping my wrist .
Serenity , whos immigrating ?! I remained impassive .
An old college friend .
Shes leaving the country and wanted to get together one last time .
My calm demeanor seemed to convince him .
He hugged me , relief flooding his voice .
I thought it was you .

You scared me to death .
I offered a wry smile .
Its just immigration .
Why such a big reaction ? His face grew serious .
Serenity , you know my family background .
Three generations of military service .
We cant leave the country .
His tone turned pleading , almost desperate .
If Ive done something wrong , you can hit me , yell at me , even kill me , but dont leave .
Id never find you again .
It would kill me .
His embrace felt hollow .
I understand , I murmured .
From that moment , Liam hardly left my side .
His anxiety was palpable .
Even when his brother invited their circle of friends to celebrate the opening of a new club , Liam insisted on bringing me along .
His constant presence made it impossible for me to visit the immigration office unnoticed .
Entering the private room , his friends swarmed us .
Serenity , have fun tonight ! We know you like it quiet , so we changed the music to piano and cleared out the place .
Right ! We even got you your favorite desserts .
Come sit here , Serenity , the fruits all cut and ready .
Liam raised an eyebrow , feigning annoyance .
When did you all become SO good at flattering people ? One friend laughed .
Everyone knows shes the apple of your eye ! If we didnt flatter her , how would we stay in your good books ? Exactly ! Since you got married , youve forgotten about us brothers .
Were suffering .
We have to help you shower Serenity with love ! * Laughter filled the room .
Then , the door opened , and Chloe appeared .
The manager tried to stop her .
Im sorry , miss , this room is booked for private guests .
Chloe breezed past him .
Serenity , Liam ! What a coincidence ! Mind if I join you ? She slid into the seat beside me , leaning in close .
Beneath the dim light , I noticed her subtle movements as she slipped Liams hand under her skirt .
My body trembled .
Liams expression shifted ; he seemed about to dismiss her , but the moment his hand was beneath her skirt, he closed h eyes and subtly moved his fingers .
My breath caught in my throat .
I controlled my emotions , pretending nothing was amiss .
During the party , I excused myself to the restroom .
I splashed cold water on my face again and again , trying to regain my composure , until a taunting voice broke through .
Serenity , Chloe sneered , her reflection in the mirror a twisted mockery of triumph , youre so young , yet you dress like an old maid .
Dont be so … prude .
Chloe stood in the mirror , a sneer on her face .
Look at me- She threw open her coat , revealing a revealing fox themed lingerie .
Men are visual creatures , she said smugly .
Want to bet ? If I tell Liam Im wearing this , will he stay with you … or come to me ? My body shook .
I said nothing , simply drying my hands and returning to the room .
Chloe followed shortly after , subtly tapping Liams phone as she passed him .
hard and his eyes darken .
He opened it a short text message , enough to make him swallow Casually , he pocketed his phone and stood .
Serenity , I need to take a call .
Stay here , Ill be back soon .
Without waiting for a reply , he left .
Chloe followed shortly after .
Watching them disappear , I struggled to breathe .
The pain was a knife , twisting relentlessly .
I wanted to drag Liam down to hell with me , to make him hurt as much as I did .
Hours passed .
Liam didnt return .
His friends shifted uncomfortably .
One finally stood , offering to take me home .
Hes probably delayed .
Ill drive you .
I nodded silently but realized Id forgotten my purse .
Returning to the room , I stopped short at the sound of their voices .
