A Love Buried by Secrets novel Chapter 7

For the next couple of days, Elliot went out every day and returned with heaps of gifts. He would personally deliver them to Serena's bedroom as if to make amends.

In her room, Serena stared at the mountain of gift boxes without a ripple of emotion in her heart.

After her wounds had healed somewhat, Karen came upstairs to help her pack. Serena also gathered a box to sort through everything connected to Elliot—an entire box of condoms under the bed, the couple's bracelets they had secretly bought, and their photos together.

Along with the unopened gifts, she threw them all into the trash.

After tidying up, Serena took out her phone and booked a plane ticket for the following day.

Just as she completed the payment, she received a message from Elliot.

It was an address for a bar.

Three seconds later, though, he retracted the message. Another message followed that read, "Sorry, Rena. I sent that by mistake."

But Serena's instincts told her that this was definitely related to her.

Elliot's birthday was tomorrow, and he had been going out more frequently lately. He also no longer put on his usual affectionate act around her.

She didn't want to risk being subjected to another revenge plot that might cripple her again. So, she stealthily headed for the bar in her wheelchair.

After searching both floors multiple times, she finally stumbled upon familiar voices outside Room 318.

"Eli, are you really planning to release your bedroom video with Serena at your birthday banquet tomorrow? Your whole family will be there, right? Your dad and her mom will see. Are you sure they won't pass out from shock?"

"What do you know? That's the exact effect we're after! I just watched it again. The clip is insane. 72 positions, and she did every single one to please Eli. A dancer's flexibility really is something else!"

Amid the raucous laughter, Elliot's lazy voice sounded. "It's only right that everyone gets to enjoy the view of that slut lying under me like that. When the time comes, I'll just say that she drugged and seduced me.

"Her mom's a homewrecker who is just as slutty. As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter! Her mom always bragged about how well she had raised her. Let's see how she dares show her face in my house after this."
