With the holidays behind them, it was time to return to work and school. Just as people began to shake off the post-holiday blues, Valentine’s Day approached.
Serenity had little understanding of the special holiday; all she focused on was the start of the school term. Early that morning, she and Jasmine headed to the shop to clean and restock. They were diligently hard at work.
Meanwhile, Zachary was in the presidential suite on the top floor of the Wiltspoon Hotel, being interviewed by prominent entertainment media about his love for his wife.
Zachary and Serenity had married at first sight without knowing much about each other, and they kept their marriage a secret. As the heir to the York family, Zachary had attracted the paparazzi’s interest, who were eager to uncover his love story. Recently, he had been spotted around the city, openly displaying his affection for Serenity, leading to many candid moments captured by photographers.
The press sought to interview him primarily to learn more about the couple’s romantic history. Although Zachary had participated in a few interviews since taking over York Corporation, those had solely focused on business. This was the first occasion he would be asked about his personal life.
“Mr. York, what is your wife’s name? We still haven’t identified the lucky lady. Her face seems familiar,” one reporter asked.
Last year, the Hunts had posted an old photo of Serenity and her sister on Twitter, branding them as ungrateful granddaughters. Serenity had been a child at the time, and her features had since matured, which is why people thought she looked familiar but could not quite place her.
Those who knew Serenity personally remained silent, as Zachary had not made his relationship public. They were reluctant to mention Serenity’s name. Consequently, the paparazzi…
I couldn’t find any information on Serenity. Naturally, the head of the Bucham family played a role in this, as he had the authority to prevent any information from being released. Only God knew how difficult it had been for everyone to keep the secret about Zachary. Mrs. Sox felt unable to meet her niece, fearing she might accidentally reveal that Serenity was actually Mrs. York.
