Chapter 6

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.”novelbin

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.”

Smacking her best friend in the head, Serenity remarked with a grin, “I bet you read all the chick lit in theshop. Dream on about marrying a billionaire at first sight. Do you think the place is crawling withbillionaires?”

Jasmine rubbed on the bump and sighed as Serenity had a point. Jasmine then asked, “Where’s yourhusband’s place?”

“Brynfield.”

“Not bad. It’s a good neighborhood and easily accessible. Plus, it’s not far from our shop. Where doesyour husband work? He must earn a lot of money since he bought a house in Wiltspoon and a gatedcommunity like Brynfield. What are his wages like? Do you need help with the mortgage?

“Seren, get your name on the title deed if he wants you to contribute to the mortgage. It’s to protectyourself. Not to jinx it but you won’t get anything when you guys fall out and divorce since it’s a prenuptialproperty.”

Studying her best friend’s face, Serenity answered, “You sound like my sister. He bought and paid thehouse in full, so there’s no mortgage. I don’t think it’s nice to put my name on the title deed when I didn’tspend a dime on it.”

Jasmine replied, “It won’t matter if the husband and wife get along.”

It struck Serenity that her brother-in-law bought the family house before marriage. He was also payingthe monthly house loan, but the renovation was paid with Liberty’s money. Still, Liberty was not namedon the property deed. With her mind harking back to her brother-in-law accusing Liberty of blowing cash,Serenity began to worry about her sister.

She ought to bring it up to her sister one of these days.

Serenity closed the shop at eleven o’clock at night.

Since Jasmine’s home was nearby and a family member was buying her dinner, Serenity told Jasmine toget on home.

Having shut the main door, Serenity took out her keys and walked to her e-bike.

She rode for twenty minutes until she arrived downstairs at her sister’s place. It was only when Serenityparked the bike that she realized she no longer lived there.

Lifting her head, Serenity glanced at the floor her sister was on and found that the lights were out.Although feeling down, Serenity left the family of three to be and rode her e-bike into the night.

It was midnight by the time she reached Brynfield.

She was welcomed by darkness as she pushed the door and entered the house. It did not feel likeanyone lived in this space.

Grabbing her pajamas from the suitcase, Serenity took a hot shower and allowed the weariness to rockher to sleep.

Meanwhile, at the Wiltspoon Hotel.

Flanked by bodyguards, Zachary walked out of his family-owned hotel. He had just closed a big deal witha major client and arranged for the client to stay in the presidential suite. With his new wife coming intomind, Zachary decided to take a trip home.

“Sir, will it be the estate or the hilltop villa?”

The estate was the Yorks’ family home while the villa on the hill was a property belonging to Zachary. Hispermanent domicile was the villa, but he would catch up and have dinner with the elders of the family atthe estate every now and then.

“To Brynfield.”
