Leap OF Fate

Serene worked like a robot that day. She got through her routine smoothly, like a well-oiled gear, but her mind floated elsewhere. Serene felt like Fate was playing with her. She encountered not only her ex's husband rather embarrassingly, he also turned out to be the new head of their company.

When her hand touched his, she raised her head to look at him, however instead of Bryan, it was Justin who now holds her hand. Panicked, she tried to take her hand back, but he held on to her tightly. He tugged her a little, leaned forward, and whispered to her ear, “You’re mine”.
