Chapter 3

I stood in our bedroom, clutching the pregnancy test I'd taken from Kamila's bathroom trash. Two pink lines stared back at me, unmistakable even through the tear in the plastic wrapper where I'd pried it open.

"Logan," I called, my voice steadier than I expected. "We need to talk."

He appeared in the doorway, phone in hand, eyes narrowing when he saw what I was holding.

"Where did you get that?" His voice was dangerously quiet.

"Does it matter?" I held up the test. "Twelve weeks, Logan. She's twelve weeks pregnant."

He didn't deny it. Didn't even try.

"What I want to know," I continued, "is why you let her show me a negative test three days ago."

Logan's jaw tightened. "You've been spying on us?"

"Us?" The word hit me like a slap. "There is no 'us,' Logan. You made that very clear."

"Serena, you're making a scene over nothing." He stepped closer, his expression shifting to that patronizing look I'd grown to hate. "This doesn't change anything between us."

"Doesn't change anything?" My voice rose despite my efforts to stay calm. "She's carrying your child!"

"And I've known about it for months," he said, as if discussing the weather. "Kamila and I have been together since before we got married."

The room tilted sideways. "Before we got married?"

"Jesus, Serena." He ran a hand through his hair. "Why are you so surprised? You've been paranoid for years. Making up stories about where I've been, who I've been with."

"I wasn't paranoid," I whispered. "I was right."

Logan's phone buzzed. He glanced at it, then back at me. "I'm leaving. Kamila needs me."

"Leaving?" I echoed.

"For a few days." He grabbed a duffel bag from the closet and began throwing clothes into it. "I need space to think."

---

Three hours later, my phone pinged with a text.

*Staying at Kamila's place for a while. Don't wait up.*

I stared at the message, rage building in my chest like a physical presence. Before I could respond, another text arrived.

*Kamila's moving some things into the guest room. Make sure you don't touch anything.*

The guest room? In our house?

I rushed downstairs, my heart pounding. The front door was unlocked—Logan must have left it that way deliberately.

I pushed it open to find Kamila arranging flowers in the foyer. My flowers. The ones I'd bought yesterday.

"Oh!" She turned, hand flying to her stomach in that protective gesture I'd begun to recognize. "Serena. I didn't expect you to be here."

"This is my house," I said through gritted teeth.

"For now." She smiled, running her hand along the banister. "Logan thought it would be easier if I stayed here while he's...away. You know, for the baby's sake."

I watched her move through my home like she owned it—touching my things, rearranging my decor, claiming my space.

"Where are you sleeping?" I asked, hating how small my voice sounded.

"Our bedroom." She said it so casually, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "Logan moved your things to the guest room. I hope that's okay?"

---

That night, I lay in the guest bed, staring at the ceiling. My phone buzzed with a Facebook notification. Rachel Martinez had tagged me in a post.

*Having dinner with Logan and Kamila tonight. So glad they're finally free to be together!*

Free? I scrolled through the comments.

*Logan deserves happiness after dealing with Serena's issues for so long.*

*Poor guy, stuck with such a control freak.*

*Kamila's been his true love all along.*

My hands shook as I scrolled further. Post after post, comment after comment—all from Logan's friends. All painting me as the villain in this story.

*Serena's been unstable for years.*

*Remember when she accused him of cheating at Marcus's wedding? Paranoid much?*

*Logan's been so patient with her mental health issues.*

Mental health issues? I'd never had any mental health issues.

The phone slipped from my fingers as the realization hit me. This wasn't just about an affair. This was a campaign—a systematic effort to isolate me, discredit me, paint me as the problem.

And it had worked. Everyone believed Logan's lies.

Including, for a while, me.

I spent my whole life trying to fit into the "Kensington aesthetic," dyeing my hair blonde and playing dumb just to earn a crumb of my father's approval. But when the manor went up in flames, I realized I was never a daughter to them-I was just an inconvenience. I lay pinned under a heavy oak beam, the smell of copper and burnt sugar filling my lungs. My father, Arthur, stood in the doorway with my brothers, looking like a phalanx of saviors, but their eyes weren't on me. They rushed past my outstretched, bloody hand to save my sister, Karly, who was huddled in a corner without a scratch on her. My brother Archer scooped her up like spun glass, stepping over my crushed leg without a second glance. Just before they crossed the threshold, Karly looked back at me and smiled-a small, victorious, terrifying smile. My father didn't offer help; he just shouted that I was an arsonist and slammed the door, sentencing me to burn alive in my own bedroom. As the crystal chandelier melted and crashed toward me, I didn't feel fear anymore. I felt a guttural, distilled hate for the family that left me to die because of a lie. I had spent my life begging for scraps at a table that was never meant for me, and I died realizing they never loved me at all. "If I come back," I promised into the void, "I will burn you all down." I gasped for air and woke up in my bed, the smell of lavender replacing the smoke. It was September 14th, five years before the fire, the exact week I had started ruining myself to please them. I looked in the mirror, scrubbed off the pathetic makeup mask, and realized the old, desperate Kala was dead. If I was going to burn, I'd make sure they were the ones who felt the heat first. "Queen is back online," I whispered.
Service Was Mediocre: Reviewing My Billionaire Lover Novel Cover
8.7
I woke up in a luxury penthouse with a blinding headache and bruises on my thighs, staring at the man who was about to ruin my life. Cullen Hunter, the most dangerous billionaire in Los Angeles, was stepping out of the shower, ready to discard me with a signed check and a cold look of disdain. Then the memories hit me like a physical blow. I realized I had woken up in the "Death Flag" scene of a script—this was the exact morning Avery Hall was supposed to be kicked out, humiliated, and started her downward spiral into a tragic death. The nightmare escalated within minutes. My own brother, Ernest, called to tell me I was no longer a member of the family, freezing my trust fund and evicting me from my apartment. He believed the lies of our "perfect" adopted sister, Cheslie, who had leaked her own private photos and framed me for it just to gain sympathy. Even my fiancé, Preston, couldn't wait to dump me in public, calling me a "crazy bitch" before running straight into Cheslie’s waiting arms. I was suddenly homeless, bankrupt, and the most hated woman in the city. My family wanted me to crawl back and apologize on my knees for a crime I didn't commit, while the man I had just spent the night with watched my destruction with boredom. I didn't understand how they could all turn on me so fast, or how I was expected to survive in a world where the script was literally written for my failure. "Avery, don't make this difficult," Cullen warned, waiting for the tears he thought were coming. But I refused to play the victim. I pulled three hundred dollars of my last bits of cash, slapped them onto Cullen’s nightstand, and told him the service was mediocre. I wasn't going to beg for love or mercy anymore; I was going to rewrite the ending of this story and become the most dangerous femme fatale Hollywood had ever seen.
