“What do you want, Elisa? Stay away from me!”
Elisa scoffed, her face dark with anger. “You’re the one asking, Zachary? I should be the one asking you—what are you doing here?”
She was angrier than Zachary.
Serenity intervened, saying, “We didn’t mean to hide the truth from you, Elisa. I just found out who he really is.”
If Serenity had known that Zachary was the heir Elisa had loved for years and had openly courted, she would never have married him.
“I know,” Elisa replied.
Turning her gaze to Serenity, she continued, “You wouldn’t have suggested I pursue him if you knew your husband was Mr. York. No wife would assist her romantic rival in chasing her husband.”
Serenity was not the type to compete with another woman for a man.
Elisa understood Serenity well. Serenity had adopted a practical view of love, likely because she was too mature to believe in fairytales.
After their marriage, Serenity began to develop feelings for her husband. Their relationship grew steadily as they spent time together; it took time to truly know one another and adjust to each other’s presence.
Elisa criticized Zachary, “I can’t believe you deceived Serenity for so long, Zachary. No wonder I never saw you when I visited. It explains why you couldn’t come to my family’s house with Serenity. You have never been honest with her! I was left wondering how you always seemed one step ahead when I followed Serenity’s advice to pursue you. You already knew about the plan.
“You knew that Serenity and I are best friends. I bet you enjoyed making fools of both of us when she encouraged me to chase after you. You could have said something. Even if I was desperate for your love, I would have stopped bothering you.
“You kept your marriage to Serenity a secret while pretending everything was fine.”
I enjoyed the courtship, even though you never acknowledged my feelings. You didn’t even allow me into your office building; it was entirely one-sided. You were unmarried, and I was single. Despite my love being unreciprocated, I felt no shame.
“Everyone is entitled to pursue their happiness, but you made me the other woman in my cousin’s marriage. It’s not as if you are the only one for me.”
