Leap OF Fate

Chapter 85

Don’t confuse your guilt with love. Justin squeezed his eyes shut. Was he just feeling guilty? Was the

pain he felt in the past five years just guilt? He felt a tear drop from his eyes. Fuck her for confusing

him!

He rushed out from his room but no longer saw her.

“Follow her!” he barked to his secretary, who immediately sprung to action.

Serene heaved a sigh of relief when she entered a familiar restaurant and sat on a chair. A server

approached her as soon as she settled in. She gave her order from the top of her head while her eyes

scanned the place. She caught sight of Joseph, Justin’s secretary from her peripheral vision.

“Can I also have the bill?” She gave a polite smile to the server and continued to search the restaurant

for a familiar face. When she finally found the person she was looking for, she gave her a wink. She

and Susie locked eyes and exchanged a knowing look with each other.

Susie approached her table and gave her the bill. She checked it and wrote on the receipt “I’m being

followed”. She took her card and went back to the till. After a while, Susie approached her again and

returned her card. She said her thanks and gave her a copy of the receipt before turning around and

going back to the cash register.

Serene casually looked at the piece of paper and read the instructions written on it. When she finished

reading, she stuffed it in her pocket and ate in peace. After finishing eating, she stood up and went to

the washroom.

Shortly after she went in, a server also entered. A few minutes after, Serene got out of the washroom in

a server’s uniform and went into the kitchen. Outside the kitchen, an Ellis Inc delivery truck waited for

her.

Only when she was inside the truck did she release the breath she was holding. The driver carried on

with their usual delivery stops. She got off when they delivered to a restaurant close to the hotel she

stayed. From there, she waited for a car to pick her up again from the kitchen exit to bring her back to

the hotel.

Meanwhile, Joseph and the men he brought with him, hung around the restaurant for almost an hour

from the time Serene went to the washroom. One of them took the courage to enter it, only to find out

that she’s no longer inside.

Justin’s men panicked and scrambled upon learning of her disappearance. They paced all over the

restaurant looking for her. They have looked at every corner of the establishment but found nothing.

The manager even offered to have them look at the surveillance videos. They screened each second of

the video. All they saw was Serene coming in but never going out. With all the blunders that happened

recently, they braced themselves for the worst.

Justin threw a fit when he found out that she slipped from them again, and this time his men were in the

same place and watched her, but she vanished under their noses. His room looked like a tornado

passed by when he calmed down.

How did she get out of that place undetected? His head throbbed thinking about the possibilities of how

she escaped them yet again.

Serene only felt secured when her feet stepped in the suite and she saw her children’s smiling faces.

They erased all the worries she had and all the pain she felt. She hugged them more tightly and All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

showered more kisses on their faces. It felt like she would not see them again when she stormed into

Justin’s office.

She watched her children sleep beside her until the early hours of the morning. Scared that they might

suddenly disappear from her. They are all she had, her life source. She did not want to even imagine

the scenario where she lost them, she’s not brave enough for that.

Like her, Justin was still awake that early morning. Remembering their recent encounter. First, he hated

her for saying she wished her children were Bryan’s. It cut him deeply. How could she say that? He

knew he hurt her then and had been the biggest idiot when he kicked her out without even listening to

her explanation. He got too caught up with his jealousy and ego; he neglected her.

He didn’t need a reminder of how pitiful she’s been that night, and his actions were the reason she

almost had a miscarriage, because he spent every day of the last five years punishing himself for that.

He wanted so much for his harsh kisses to erase the traces of those painful words from her mouth. The

twins were his, no one else’s. And she’s not allowed to even think of bearing another man’s child!

But she hated her more when she made him doubt himself. What he felt had always been black and

white. He did not confuse one over the other. But she had to say that confuse-guilt-for-love shit. Fuck

her for royally messing him up.

He doubted himself for a moment, and that flicker of doubt cost him to have her slip between his fingers

again. She already entered his domain, he already held her, but he lost her again.

He’ll get her back soon. And when he does, he’s going to tie her to his hip. She could hate him and kick

him all she wants, but he’s never giving her another chance to get away from him. The pain he felt in

his heart had been far too long and too deep.
