Serena continued her journey to a place where she could calm down. Actually, right now she doesn't have anyone who can defend her and protect her. A crooked adoptive family, a crooked ex-husband, a crooked office co-worker, and a brother-in-law who is suspected of being a murderer.
Tinn…
Hearing the very loud sound of an electric sedan's horn made Serena suddenly startle. Her head turned towards the dark blue sedan that was bothering her. Very coincidentally, the owner of the car was Asher.
Serena tried to hold back her frightened facial expression. Showing a friendly smile at the handsome young man who opened the car window.
"What are you doing?" Asher asked in a cold tone.
"I'm… just taking a walk," Serena answered haltingly.
Asher's gaze focused on his sister-in-law's tiny feet, which were only wearing house slippers. "You're walking around wearing just that?"
"What do you mean?" Serena still didn't understand what Asher meant. Does Asher not like his sister-in-law walking around in black clothes?
Asher rolled his eyes. "Come up, I'll take you."
As a result of reading a mysterious message from an anonymous person, negative thoughts began to fill her head. Is it possible that now Asher will kidnap her and lock her up somewhere? Will Asher drug her when she is wearing a seatbelt?
Serena still remained on the sidewalk, holding her cell phone shakily. While Asher was starting to run out of patience, he exhaled roughly.
"What are you waiting for?"
"I…"
"You wasted thirty seconds of my time just standing there."
Serena clenched her right fist tightly. She didn't expect her brother-in-law's nature to be so cruel just because of a small matter. "Then you can leave me now!"
Hearing his sister-in-law's rude response, Asher got out of his car for a moment then grabbed his sister-in-law's hand as he opened the car door.
"What are you doing?!" Serena snapped, trying to release Asher's too tight grip.
"You must be forced to obey!" Without further ado, Asher led Serena into his car by force.
While in Asher's car, Serena continued to hold onto the seat belt because she was afraid that she would suddenly be drugged in the middle of the trip to a place that Asher had not told her about. Serena could only surrender, would she catch up with Lariette today? Serena is more likely to be curious about why Asher lied to his ex-in-laws on the grounds that he was busy working even though he had a lot of free time. Did Asher really want to torture her now?
A few minutes later, Asher parked his car in front of a famous shoe shop. Seeing this shoe shop, which was one of the places she had wanted to visit for a long time, made Serena's eyes light up. However, half of her mind was also confused, why did Asher suddenly take her to a place like this?
Asher still kept his mouth shut. He got out of the car then opened the car door for his sister-in-law while unfastening his seat belt. Still not making a sound, he took his sister-in-law's hand into this shoe shop which was filled with famous brand shoes.
"Choose the shoes you like." Finally, Asher spoke, although his tone was firm.
"What?"
"You have only fifteen minutes to choose." Asher's eyes fell on the luxury watch.
"But, I still have lots of shoes at home."
"Shall I choose for you?"
Serena rolled her eyes and folded her arms. "Asher, I still don't understand why you're acting like this suddenly. You suddenly dragged me here even though I didn't want to."
Asher immediately took a pair of black high heels sprinkled with beads in a shop window. He crouched down in front of Serena while taking off his worn house slippers.
"Today is my wife's death day. I don't like seeing you wearing only these ugly house slippers as if you don't respect her."
Did Asher mean that he was very happy about Lariette's death? It felt like Serena's blood pressure was boiling even more when she heard that innuendo. However, she tried to act innocent so that her life would not be lost this second.
Again, Asher didn't say much after helping put on these beautiful shoes and paying the bill at the cashier. They returned to the luxury sedan in a tense atmosphere. Serena actually wanted to rebel again, but being dragged again by Asher made her even more uncomfortable with being forcefully treated like his slave.
"Are you free today?" Asher asked in a sudden curt tone that made Serena flinch.
"I actually…"
"You have to accompany me somewhere."
"What?"
"You can't refuse."
Serena rolled her eyes again. "I wonder why Lariette wants to marry an unclear man like you. You've been talking to me very unclearly!"
Asher groaned irritably while gripping the steering wheel. "Can you not talk too much?"
"Weren't you the one who started talking to me first?"
"Your job is just to be quiet and obey me."
What Asher meant was that he wanted to take Serena to a bar in a five-star hotel. While walking into the bar, Asher's footsteps suddenly stopped when he passed a sexy woman wearing a red mini dress.
"I didn't expect you to actually come to me today," said the woman.
Asher responded by pushing the woman's body with his index finger. "Today I want to be alone. Besides, I don't want to see you."
The woman's eyes focused on the beautiful woman standing behind Asher. "Who is she?"
Serena raised her head nervously. "I-"
"You don't need to answer," Asher interrupted curtly.
Asher brought his lips to the woman's ear. "Tell your father that I don't want to marry you. If you want to end business relations, go ahead. I'm not afraid."
"You!!"
Without further ado, Asher walked away from the woman, followed by Serena who walked awkwardly.
The woman smiled slyly as she lifted her right leg wide, so that Serena's foot didn't accidentally trip because it bumped into the woman.
Serena spontaneously grabbed Asher's hand, causing Asher to turn around and then catch her body, which was about to fall. Because of this careless incident, a pair of lips accidentally touched, making them glare at each other.
However, a miracle happened when they kissed. Netra Serena shows a scene of Lariette walking in the park with Asher.
