Chapter13 Logan sprinted back to Lakehurst Heights , his heart pounding as he rushed straight upstairs . He remembered , back when their fights had gotten ugly , Serena had once staged a dramatic walkout . But she had always left her things behind , creating an excuse to come back for them , giving him the chance to make peace . Maybe this time was the same . Maybe she was bluffing . He yanked open her closet door , breath caught in his throat . Empty . Every single piece of her clothing was gone . This time , she was gone for good . His chest tightened . She had told him once , five chances . That was all she would give him . Five . And he had wasted them all . Would she ever give him another ? Would she ever come home ? Agony slammed into him , leaving him hollow . He dropped onto the edge of the bed , paralyzed , barely breathing . Then a thought jolted him upright . He grabbed his phone , ready to call her . But her number wasn't there . He had it saved , pinned even , yet it was gone . No matter . He could recall it . He had to . Except ... he couldn't . He racked his brain , tried number after number , but all that came up , clear as day , was Sloane's . For years he could recite Sloane's number in his sleep . But Serena's ? He had never bothered to memorize it . A memory stabbed him , back when they first married , Serena had smiled and said : " Logan , promise me you'll remember my phone number , my details - everything that matters . And he had scoffed . " What's the point ? It's not like I'll ever lose you . " Now he had . And no matter how hard he tried , he couldn't find his way back . Desperate , he started calling his friends . " What the hell , man ? You're her husband . You don't know your wife's number , how the hell would we ? " " Quit joking , Logan . How could you not know Serena's number ? " " Ask her friends . We're your buddies , not hers . " Only then did he realize , he didn't know the names of any of her friends . Not one . } For years , her life had revolved entirely around him . She had given up everything , her world , her identity , for him . And he hadn't even noticed . He tried searching on iMessage , but no matter how he scrolled , she didn't appear . What he didn't know was that the night he went to Sloane , Serena had unlocked his phone , She had seen his pinned chats . Sloane was at the top . Serena was buried pages down , almost invisible . When she opened their thread , all she saw were a string of unanswered messages from her . His replies , when they existed at all , were curt , two or three words at most .

Deleted her contact , deleted her chat , then slipped the phone back like nothing had happened . And in the days after , when he never once tried to reach out , he hadn't even noticed . " Serena ... " Logan's voice cracked as he pressed the heel of his hand to his eyes . " Do you really hate me this much ? " With nothing left , he called Ethan . " Find her number for me . Now . " The assistant moved quickly . Within the hour , he had it . Logan's fingers shook as he copied it into his phone and hit dial . He tried once . Twice . Again . Finally , the line connected .
