**Chapter 57**<\/p>\n

\u201cSerenity, we had an understanding. We\u2019re set to divorce in six months, so can\u2019t you hold off on seeing someone else until then? I don\u2019t understand why you\u2019re already looking for another guy while we\u2019re still legally married.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re essentially cheating on me right now. I may not have any feelings for you, nor will I ever, but no man will tolerate being cheated on.\u201d Zachary\u2019s anger was evident; he was furious that Serenity was so quick to jump into another relationship. Shawn, who had a crush on Serenity, was Zachary\u2019s romantic rival. This situation was less about love and more about a man\u2019s pride and dignity. Serenity glanced around, seemingly searching for something.<\/p>\n

When she couldn\u2019t find what she was looking for, she grabbed her purse, which contained her phone and keys, and threw it at Zachary. Thanks to her self-defense training, she had a good aim. Completely caught off guard, Zachary was hit square in the face. The items in her purse turned into makeshift weapons, leaving a painful mark on his lips. He shot a furious glare at Serenity. Never before had anyone disrespected him in such a way! Serenity walked over to retrieve her purse, matching his tone. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou asked for this. You\u2019ve condemned me based on some wild assumptions in your head without even bothering to ask for clarification. Have you always been this bossy and self-righteous?\u201d Zachary grimaced as he touched his bruised lips, glaring at her. \u201cWhat are you staring at? Is this a contest? As if I\u2019d ever lose to you.\u201d Serenity raised her purse defiantly. Zachary thought to himself, \u2018Not this again!\u2019 How could she be so bold as to strike him? This felt like domestic violence! <\/p>\n

\u201cMy car broke down in the middle of the road, but fortunately, I ran into Shawn. He\u2019s my best friend\u2019s cousin, and I\u2019ve known him longer than I\u2019ve known you. We practically grew up together. Anyway, he wasn\u2019t just going to drive past when he spotted me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stranded, I found myself in quite a predicament. Fortunately, Zachary came to my rescue. He called a tow truck for me and arranged for my bike to be taken to a workshop before driving me home.<\/p>\n

We hadn\u2019t done anything wrong, yet it felt like he was accusing me of infidelity. \u201cTalk about the pot calling the kettle black. Perhaps you\u2019re the one cheating on me,\u201d I said, trying to turn the tables. Zachary was momentarily speechless. \u201cMr. York, you could\u2019ve told me if you didn\u2019t want to get married back then. I didn\u2019t force you to sign those papers. Why do you look like I\u2019m out to get you? I had no objections to the contract you drafted; I signed it when you asked me to. And about leaving me the house and car after the divorce? That was your proposal, not mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

I might as well accept your offer since you clearly see me as a scheming woman after your money. The truth is, she had no intention of keeping his house and car after their divorce. Serenity only married him to escape her sister\u2019s place, allowing her sister some peace of mind. Those were her sole motivations.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou seem to think I\u2019m out looking for another guy and planning to cheat on you. You saw me and Mr. Bill together when I went with Jasmine on her blind date. I bet that\u2019s what you were thinking,\u201d I pointed out.<\/p>\n

Zachary hissed back, \u201cTrust me, I don\u2019t get jealous.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWell, it sure looked like you were feeling a bit jealous,\u201d I replied. The tension in the room began to dissipate as Serenity lightened the mood. \u201cUff. I could practically smell the jealousy from a mile away. I guess you\u2019re really putting the Word of the Day to good use.\u201d<\/p>\n
