Accidentally Yours (Serena and Harrison) novel Chapter 8

8 /13

Inside the car, Harrison glanced sideways, briefly sweeping his eyes over Serena.

"Where to?" he asked casually.

"Shiwa Law Firm," Serena replied softly.

Harrison's brows furrowed slightly when he heard the name. However, he said nothing, only signaling the driver with his eyes. The driver immediately started the car engine, and the two fell silent in turn.

About 20 minutes later, the black Cayenne pulled up steadily in front of Shiwa Law Firm.

"We're here." Harrison's deep, magnetic voice echoed in the confined space of the car.

Serena heard him but merely glanced out the window, making no move to get out.

She suddenly called his name, "Mr. Spencer."

He turned his head at the sound.

She hesitated momentarily before carefully reaching out and tugging at his sleeve, her eyes hinting at a plea.

"Could you... come up with me?" Her voice was tight, trembling slightly.

Harrison looked down at the hand gripping his sleeve, then back at her face. There was a fleeting trace of warmth in his deep gaze—so subtle it was almost imperceptible.

His silence made her feel unsettled. After an internal struggle, she finally decided to tell him the truth, "Actually, I married you with a purpose."

His brow arched slightly, his expression unreadable.

"Before my grandfather passed away, he secretly left me a will, giving me an 18% share of Linden Group..."

Despite her nerves and turmoil, Serena forced herself to continue, "But to inherit it, I have to get married first, so—"

"So, you used me as a stepping stone?" Harrison cut her off, his sharp gaze locking onto hers.

His directness made her panic.

"I..." Her words got stuck in her throat, and her grip on his sleeve loosened. Ultimately, she could only say, "I'm sorry."

She knew the kind of man Harrison was. Now that he realized she had been using him, he was surely furious. However, she had no choice. If she didn't come clean now, she would never be able to reclaim what was rightfully hers.
