Damn!
When would she ever learn her lesson? Serena thought to herself as she slumped on her living room couch, closing her eyes to get her bearing straight. She gently touched her cheek, which was still throbbing in pain.
She should sue that dumbass for assault and battery charges, but that would lead to another scandal she did not need. Her career had just taken a hit from her previous relationship, and being on the front page again with another disastrous affair would not help her back in the industry.

But Adam ignored what she said and did not walk towards the door. Instead, he strode to the other side of her apartment. She watched him disappear into her kitchen, wondering what he was doing.
