Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Chapter 485 Just thinking about how Serena had dismissed him with such disdain earlier that day made Brad seethe with frustration .

He thought she was ungrateful .

After all , he had been nothing but genuine toward her , yet she still dared to fantasize about staying with Harvey .

Brad was determined not to let that happen .

Serena was going to be his , ho matter what .

It was not about love or promises ; it was about his pride as a man and the thrill of conquest .

Losing the fight for the family headship to Harvey had already been humiliating enough , but if he could not win Serena over , Brad figured he might as well crawl into a hole and die .

Behind the bar , the bartender glanced at him while mixing a drink .

Mr.

Brad , maybe you should ease up on the drinks youve got business to handle later .

Shut the hell up ! Brad snapped , his voice slurred with irritation .

Who the hell do you you are , telling me what to do ? The bartender flinched and backed off , deciding it was not worth arguing .
