The next time Adrian Pryce saw Serena Sangster , he was holding a knife in one hand and lighting a fire with the other, hatred burning across his face.
He wanted nothing more than to crush her beneath his feet.
“Serena, any woman in this world is more worthy than you to be the Third Young Mistress of the family Pryce.”
Later on, the ill-fitting sapphire ring Serena always wore was the cheapest, most worthless gemstone she had ever owned— and yet, she couldn’t bear to part with it.
Adrian came to believe that making Serena the Third Young Mistress of the family Pryce was the greatest injustice he had ever done to her.
Later still, when Serena was finally ready to give up the mariage, Adrian drove straight into the lake with her in the car.
With one foot loosely pressing the gas pedal, he turned to her and said,
“Serena, I told you—if we can’t live together, then we’ll die together.”
“If you’re so eager to die, then let me go with you. No need for any explication.”
And later still, just like five years ago, Adrian once again found himself abandoned in the snowy, muddy streets of Duskwane.
“Serena, did you ever love me?”
“I did.”
…
All those countless times I told you “I love you”—each one was true, except the last one.
That was the only lie.
