Accidentally Yours (Serena and Harrison) novel Chapter 2

Serena didn't dare to hesitate for even a second. She quickly picked up her clothes from last night and put them on. She then forced her sore and weak legs to move as she slowly walked into the bathroom to freshen up.

As she stepped out of the bathroom, her phone rang urgently from inside her handbag. Serena walked back to the side of the bed and pulled her phone out of her bag.

Helena's name flashed on the screen.

The name felt like a large rock pressing heavily against her chest.

Serena took a deep breath and swiped a finger over the answer button, and then she lifted the phone to her ear.

Before she could even speak, an enraged, accusatory voice erupted from the other end. "You little brat! Where the hell were you last night? I sent you to negotiate the deal with Mr. Hood, and you actually hit him in the head? Getting bold now, aren't you?

"Do you have any idea what will happen from offending Mr. Hood? If you want to die, that's fine. Just don't get me, your uncle, and Linden Group involved."

Helena continued with her rant, "Serena, I'm warning you. If you don't apologize to Mr. Hood today and make up for Linden Group's losses, forget about ever getting any of your parents' belongings back."

Serena's hand clenched into a tight fist at her side upon hearing those final words. Gritting her teeth, she forced herself to endure and murmured a reply, "Okay, I got it."

"You'd better, or you'll be in big trouble!" With that, Helena hung up.

Serena gripped her phone tightly and closed her eyes. Her knuckles had turned white from the pressure. After a moment, she composed her emotions and suppressed all the resentment in her eyes.

She had to break free from this invisible shackle, and she couldn't let them control her any longer. If she wanted to compete with them and join Linden Group's board of directors, she had to claim the shares her grandfather had left her.

But to inherit the shares, she had to abide by her grandfather's will, which was to get married.

Marriage…

An extremely bold idea suddenly came into her mind.

Serena chewed on her lip. She tried to steady her frantic breathing before walking out of the bedroom with a calm facade.

But the moment she came face-to-face with Harrison, all her mental preparation was all for nothing.

Harrison sat in the middle of the living room couch with his legs crossed. His casualness carried an invisible sense of pressure.

His right hand rested lightly on his knee while his left hand held a slowly burning cigar. Wisps of smoke curled in the air.

He remained silent. Yet in his own unique way, everything around him faded into the background. The entire world seemed to tremble with each breath he took.

"M-Mr. Spencer…" Serena's voice quivered the moment she spoke.
