Zach's heart sank at the two words "my man".

He was desperate to confront Serena, to demand an explanation. He couldn't believe that after the thirteen years of love they shared, she could simply move on from it all.

He also wanted to ask her, "Do you really want to be Hugh's mistress?"

But the words caught in his throat. He thought of the Foster Group and couldn't bring himself to speak.

He had already lost Serena, and he couldn't bring himself to risk losing everything else for the

sake of love.

Serena returned home in a great mood. She had just sunk into the soft couch when her phone. lit up with a message from a familiar number.

"Next month, my orchestra will perform in Javerton. Could you help me with composing the music?" The message was followed by a cute cat emoji..

Serena immediately remembered who it was. It was Ruth Wright, the head of a renowned international orchestra and a famous composer and pianist.

She had worked with Ruth for a while. They didn't have the usual pretentiousness of composers, but their talent was unmatched by most. They hit it off immediately, collaborating effortlessly.
