Still, the mornings and evenings were eased by the lateautumn breeze.Serenity Hunt got up first thing in the morning to make breakfast for her sister’s family of three beforegrabbing her birth certificate and slipping away in the silence.“We’re going Dutch from now on, and I’m talking about everything – the living expenses, the mortgage,and auto loans! Your si

“I won’t back out on a promise.”It took Serenity a few days to consider before reaching a decision. Now that she had made up her mind,she was not going to go back on her word.There was nothing more Zachary could say at that point. He took out his document and placed it in frontof the officer.Serenity did the same.The pair swiftly went through the formalities in less than ten minutes.Once the officer issued t

“I will, Nana.”Serenity casually responded.Although Grandma May was nice to her, Zachary was her blood relative while Serenity was only relatedto the family by marriage. Serenity found it hard to believe that the Yorks would stand by Serenity duringa conflict between the couple.Such was the case with her sister’s in-laws.Pre-marriage, the in-laws were nothing but good to Serenity’s sister to the point their

“You said it yourself, Liberty. It’s his prenuptial property. It doesn’t make sense to add my name to the titledeed since I didn’t pay a penny for the house. I think we should forget about it.”Zachary did Serenity a huge favor by handing her the key to the house the moment they got married.She could move in right away, solving her housing predicament.Serenity was not going to request that of Zachary. Of cour

With his game face on, Zachary said, “Back to the meeting.”Sitting nearest to Zachary was his cousin, Callum. Among the cousins within the same age range asZachary, Callum ranked second.Callum drew close and whispered, “Zack, I overheard your conversation with Nana. Did you really marrythat Ser- girl?”Zachary shot him a glare.Scratching his nose, Callum straightened his back and ended the probing.Even so, Ca

Serenity said with a smile, “What do I need your cousin for? He has a girlfriend. It’s too late now becausethe papers are signed! Keep it between us and don’t let my sister know. I don’t want her to be sad.”Jasmine, “…”Her best friend sure pulled one heck of a move.“There are all those Lifetime movies and romance novels about blindly marrying a multi-billionaire.Maybe that’s the case with you too, Seren.”Sma

Zachary got into the Rolls Royce and instructed in a husky voice, “Don’t forget to bring around thenational car I bought.”It was a façade to fool his wife. What was his wife called again?“Oh, right. What’s the name of the missus again?”Zachary could not be bothered to dig out the marriage license. Oh, it was likely Nana did not return it tohim after he showed her. Anyhow, the marriage license was not with hi

Zachary was careful to watch his weight, refusing to let himself go and become overweight.It was hard to shed the pounds.Serenity smiled. “You’re fit, Mr. York.“So… I guess I’ll go back to bed?”“Sure,” Zachary replied.“Goodnight.”Serenity wished him goodnight before turning on her heel to leave.“Hang on, Se… Serenity.”Zachary called after her.Pausing, Serenity turned her head around and asked, “Yes?”Zachary

Now that his belly was filled, Zachary took out his wallet and looked through it, but he did not have muchcash on him. In the end, he pulled out a debit card and put it in front of Serenity.With a raised brow, Serenity looked at him.“You need money to buy things. This card is for you. The PIN is…”Zachary looked for a pen and paper and wrote the PIN down before handing it to Serenity.“You can use the card for

Serenity went to her sister’s place.She opened the door and went inside the house to find her sister was already up. Liberty was busy in thekitchen.“Liberty.”“Seren, you’re here.”Liberty came out of the kitchen and was happy to see her little sister. “Have you eaten? I’m making a potof pasta. Do you want a plate?”“I’m good. I had breakfast. Have you started cooking? You don’t have to if you haven’t because I
