letting her escape.
    “When you kissed me that first day, I knew you believed you love me.” She started to protest, but he didn’t let her, biting out, “Listen to me first, engel .” Slowly, he leaned back so their eyes could meet again. “It doesn’t matter if you really love me or not. The one thing you have to understand now is that I do not love you back.” He saw Serenity blanch, but he didn’t let it stop him. “That day you kissed me, you looked like you had been hit by a bolt of lightning. You looked at me like the sun rose and set—”
    “Stop it,” Serenity whispered shakily.  
    “The point is,” he said tensely, “ Everything you felt... it didn’t happen to me—”
    A broken cry spilled past her lips.
    “And I thank God for it,” he finished harshly. “Because I don’t ever want to love you.” Now that he had started, he knew he would not stop until he had gotten it all out of his system.
    And after that—
    After that, it was up to Serenity to decide whether she still wanted him in her life or not.  
    “Even to this day, engel , my parents continue to profess their love for each other. And it happened to them, just like how you think it happened to you – a bolt of lightning, Cupid’s arrow, whatever bullshit terms other people have come up for it. It is love for my parents, but I despise them for it. I hate them for using love as an excuse to destroy each other and...hurt their own children.”
    Sucking his breath in, he slowly cupped her face, and his gaze capturing hers, he told her quietly, “I don’t love you, and for me, Sere, that’s a good thing. I would never allow you to stay in my life if I did. But I don’t. And that’s why I’m asking you back.”  
    He waited for her to say something.
    But instead of an answer, he heard someone knock on the door before his bodyguard entered the lounge and told them that Shane and Melanie were on their way back.

Chapter Six

    “Oh my God, you look so bored, darling. I’m so sorry for being such a selfish bitch and leaving you to babysit.”  
    Serenity watched numbly as her half-sister rained kisses all over the billionaire’s face. When Shane also tried nibbling on his lips, she averted her face immediately, and because she did, she completely missed the way Willem’s icy stare had Shane quickly drawing back.
    Serenity bent her head as she listened Melanie and Shane regale the billionaire with their shopping escapade, most of which had to do with price tags than any actual description of the clothes they had bought.
    She wrung her hands as Shane started talking about what she would wear when she was in bed with Willem, unaware that the entire time the billionaire was doing his best to catch her eye. When it didn’t seem Shane was likely to stop, Serenity clumsily came to her feet.
    “I t-think it’s my turn to shop,” Serenity muttered under her breath, and not waiting for anyone to answer, she walked quickly out of the lounge.
    She was about to reach the exit doors when a pair of Willem’s bodyguards suddenly blocked her way.  
    Serenity started to protest when she realized who the pair were. “Mr. Molen and Mr. Smit!”
    “It is a pleasure to see you again, Ms. Raleigh.”
    “We have just returned from an assignment in Contini and was asked to come straight here from the airport.”
    Serenity began to feel uneasy. “You’re not going to let me leave, are you?”
    The duo gave her benign smiles but did not move out of her way.
    If it had been any of Willem’s bodyguards, she wouldn’t have hesitated to force her way out, knowing that none of them would actually lift a finger to stop her. But these two were different...and Willem knew it.
    “It’s the master’s orders, I’m afraid,” Mr. Molen said gently.
    “If it pleases you,” Mr. Smit continued, “we would like to escort you to the other floors. A saleslady has been promised a significant bonus if she were to successfully entertain you.”
