Chapter 310 His Company

• Serena POV
• I wake up slowly, the warmth of the bed pulling me into a false sense of comfort. For a moment, everything is still, and I feel safe. My body sinks into the soft mattress, the scent of Jace still lingering on the sheets beside me.
• When I reach out, the space next to me is cold. Empty. My eyes flutter open, and I push myself up onto my elbows, blinking against the dim light filtering in through the curtains. The penthouse is silent. Too silent.
