Seven Years a Shadow, Forever Her King

For seven years, Logan gave Serena everything, enduring her commands and casual cruelty while she mocked him to his friends and promised they would marry once the money came in. When she calls him across the city to drink on behalf of her first love, Christian, Logan collapses and wakes in a hospital bed, listening as Serena tells a friend he would never dare leave her.

From the window he watches Serena tuck a strand of hair behind Christian's ear with a tenderness she never showed him. Logan discharges himself, ends the relationship by message, blocks her, and moves out of the home he had decorated piece by piece. Days later, her furious call only confirms how little she noticed.

When Leo drags him to a lounge to start over, Serena appears with Christian at her side and coldly announces they have broken up. Logan turns back to the woman beside him and keeps playing.
