I knew that it was selfish to show up without Serina's permission, but I couldn't stay away from her any longer and maintain my sanity.
Mona was reluctant to tell me the exact location of the party, but then I told her how Serina believes I am busy and that I want to surprise her. Of course, I reminded Mona that I own a big chunk of her company and that I can sell it under the value, bringing the worth of the whole company down. I had no problems using blackmail.
I was not sure what Serina's reaction will be but seeing her staring at me unblinkingly with eyes full of love, I knew that I did the right choice.
God, she looks sexy in a bikini and I had an urge to rip it off and push her down on that marble floor.
The fact that she ran into my embrace and kissed me right then and there only confirmed that she missed me as well.
