At Kinsley Apartment.
This was an apartment for Dark Empire’s employees. The entire building was occupied by the Dark Empire’s employees. The apartment had all sorts of facilities. This was also why many people wanted to join the Dark Empire.
The benefits of working with the Dark Empire were good enough.
Marco and Yolanda lived here. Marco had to go to work every day, so Yolanda stayed at home to clean up the house and cook for Marco.
Yolanda always felt that she owed her daughter too much, so she always wanted to make up for Marco, but she knew that whatever she did wasn’t enough.
After dinner, Yolanda would usually take a stroll around a nearby square. Sometimes, Marco would accompany her.
But Yolanda didn’t invite Marco to take a walk together today because she saw that Marco was tired.
The room was filled with the smell of alcohol. Marco sat on the ground with a few bottles lying on the ground. The phone on the ground displayed a message, “The juice has been delivered.”
Marco suddenly smiled while drinking.
Everything that she wanted could finally be obtained. It was a battle once for all.
As soon as Yolanda came back, she felt that the room was usually quiet. “Mar!”
Yolanda cried for Marco’s name but received no response.
Yolanda changed her shoes and walked in. She entered Marco’s room and smelt the odor of alcohol.
“Mar! Did you drink? Why did you drink so much?” This was the first time that Yolanda had seen saw Marco drink.
Marco turned around and wiped the tears off her face. “Mom, I’m fine. It’s getting late. Go to sleep.”
“Mar, are you crying?” Yolanda asked as she squatted down.
“Mom, I’m not crying. I’m fine.”
“Mar, what happened to you? Tell me.” Yolanda was immediately worried about Marco.
Marco shook his head. “Mom, I’m really OK. I just … I feel bad. I really want to cry.”
Yolanda held Marco in her arms. “My good girl, what exactly happened to you? Tell me…”
Seeing Marco cry pathetically, Yolanda felt heartbroken!
“Mom, if I tell you, please don’t tell Serina, okay?”
“Okay, I won’t say it.”
“Actually … Actually, I’m not as good as you think. I came back this time for Derek’s sake! I love him, Mom. I have never forgotten him. I really love him.”
Yolanda was taken aback. In fact, she had already guessed so. Since Serina and Derek were already together, Yolanda didn’t know what to do.
“I haven’t forgotten him all these years. When Lauren died, I thought that I could finally come back. I just want to see him, but I didn’t expect that he has already been with Serina. What’s more, I didn’t expect Serina to be my biological sister!”
“This is fate. Mar, this is your fate!” Yolanda heaved a sigh.
“But why am I always unlucky? Do I deserve it? Mom, I am really upset. I can’t separate Derek from Serina just because I still love him. After all, they have two daughters.”
Yolanda was shocked.
“Since they love each other so much, I might as well leave them alone. Perhaps I can find someone better in the future.”
Marco wiped the tears. “But, just as I am about to give up on Derek, I suddenly find that they do not love each other as much as I see them with my eyes.”
“Mar, what did you say? They really love each other.” Yolanda was puzzled.
“Mom, that’s just superficial.” Marco looked at Yolanda and wiped her tears. Then she picked up her phone and found a photo. “Mom, look at this.”
Yolanda took the phone. The photo showed that Serina and Ernest held each other.
Serina’s face in the photo was very red and she was held by Ernest. They were intimate with each other.
“This was taken at the hotel entrance. They went to the hotel and booked a room.”
“Impossible! Ernest is not such a person! They are on good terms, but they won’t do this kind of thing!”
Yolanda immediately denied the truth.
“Mom, to tell you the truth, when I saw Ernest for the first time, I felt that something was wrong with him. Today, Serina came to the company for me. She looked unwell and remained so when she left. I thought she might have quarreled with Derek, so I decided to talk to her when I was off duty.”
Yolanda became attentive.
“As a result, I found that she was with Ernest all the time. They went to the hotel!”
“Maybe Serina and Derek had a quarrel, so she was in a bad mood. It was just a chitchat with Ernest. They won’t do such a thing.” Yolanda still did not believe it.
“Then why did they have to go to the hotel? Can’t they talk at home? Or can’t they talk while eating at a hotel? Why must they go to the hotel?”
Marco’s words aroused Yolanda’s suspicion. “Yeah, they are really too intimate.”
“Serina betrayed Derek. I’m torn out because I’m not sure whether I should tell this to Derek.”
Yolanda looked at Marco in a panic. “Mar, you mustn’t do this. If you do this, then Serina…”
“Mom, I love Derek more than Serina does. At the very least, I will not cheat on Derek! If Serina really loves Derek, I will quit. The point is that she doesn’t love Derek as much as I expected. How can I give up on Derek?”
Yolanda fell silent.
“If Serina and Ernest are in love with each other, then they can be together. I think they are a good couple!”
…
The next day came.
The sunlight shone through the window into the room.
It was a warm day.
A loud sneeze broke the silence.
Derek sat up. He had woken up from the coldness last night. Then he realized that the air conditioner was turned on. The cold air blew everywhere. He immediately got up and turned off the air conditioner.
Derek took a look at Serina who was still sleeping soundly beside him. The redness on her face faded away last night, but she was still a little rosy.
Derek bent to kiss Serina on the cheek.
It was a crazy night. If Serina hadn’t been drugged, he wouldn’t have known that she could also be so wild.
Serina turned over and continued sleeping.
Derek’s phone suddenly rang. He immediately answered the phone and lowered his voice.
“Hello.”
“Mr. Darion, why haven’t you arrived yet? Today’s meeting…”
“Put off all the meetings today. I’ll be there in the afternoon. I’ll hang up now.” Derek hung up.
Serina opened her eyes in a daze and rubbed her eyes. She turned around and saw his back full of scars.
“Oh, my dear!” Serina screamed and hugged the quilt tightly.
Derek had just hung up when he heard Serina’s scream. He immediately turned around and asked, “Are you awake?”
“Why are you here?” Serina looked at Derek in horror. For a moment, she did not know where she was.
