Chapter 146<\/div>\n
Serenity\u2019s sister was her pillar of strength. Now that Serenity had grown up and gained the means to help, it was her turn to protect her sister.<\/div>\n
\u201cSeren.\u201d<\/div>\n
Liberty grasped her sister\u2019s hand and pleaded, \u201cPlease don\u2019t go. The injury is only superficial. I didn\u2019t let him get away with it\u2014I chased him down a few streets with a knife and scared him silly. I\u2019m confident he won\u2019t be violent with me again.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cIf he has done it once, he will do it again, Liberty. He won\u2019t know fear if you don\u2019t stand up for yourself when he lays a hand on you. He\u2019ll only attack you again.\u201d<\/div>\n
There must be zero tolerance for domestic violence!<\/div>\n
\u201cI understand. That\u2019s why I didn\u2019t back down and fight him as well. Teven confronted him with a knife. You should have seen the terror on his face\u2014his legs were shaking. I\u2019ve heard that you must win the first fight between couples, and I did! He should think twice before raising his hands to me again.\u201d<\/div>\n
Liberty held her sister back firmly, preventing Serenity from seeking revenge on Hank. \u201cHe\u2019s back at his parents\u2019 house. If you go there, you\u2019ll be facing his entire family, and it won\u2019t end well for you. Please don\u2019t go. I won\u2019t tolerate his behavior any longer. If he screams and raises his hand at me again, I will fight back.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cLiberty, why didn\u2019t you tell me?\u201d Heartbroken, Serenity gently caressed her sister\u2019s bruised face and asked in distress, \u201cDoes it still hurt, Liberty? Damn Hank! How could he be so rough with you? You\u2019ve been together for so many years and even had a son. I can\u2019t believe he hit you.\u201d<\/div>\n
Liberty curled her lips in bitterness. \u201cHe has been repulsed by my appearance for quite some time.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cDid Zachary come over too?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cYes, he\u2019s here. He\u2019s playing with Sonny in the living room,\u201d Serenity replied.<\/div>\n
Liberty spoke softly to encourage her sister, \u201cSeren, you see\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

My marriage is deteriorating, and it all stems from my decision to leave my job and trust your brother-in-law when he assured me he would take care of me. It\u2019s crucial for women to maintain financial independence. No matter the circumstances, having your own source of income is essential. <\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t fall for the nonsense men say about financially supporting you. It can make you passive. While it\u2019s great if he upholds his marriage vows and loves you forever, if you end up with a man like your brother-in-law\u2026 just look at what happened to me. Additionally, you need to prioritize your appearance. Take time for self-care and maintain your figure. Men often lie when they claim they will love you regardless of how you change! They are superficial, and their values are often skin-deep.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will, Liberty,\u201d she replied.<\/p>\n

Serenity owned a bookshop, which allowed her to manage a household effectively. <\/p>\n

Zachary never mentioned wanting her to leave her job and support her at home. Instead, he had her sign a contract for divorce six months later. <\/p>\n

Regarding gaining weight after childbirth, Serenity felt confident that it wouldn\u2019t happen to her. <\/p>\n

If she and Zachary were to part ways, she had no intention of remarrying; she was content being on her own. If she wanted to raise a child, she could always adopt from an orphanage.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy did you two fight, Liberty?\u201d Serenity inquired, curious about the reason behind the argument. <\/p>\n

Liberty turned off the stove and took the pan away. \u201cI assume you and Zachary haven\u2019t had dinner yet. Let\u2019s eat together. I\u2019ll make extra pasta.\u201d <\/p>\n

She had only prepared enough for herself and Sonny. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll handle it, Liberty,\u201d Serenity offered, knowing she was a better cook than her sister. <\/p>\n

She began gathering the pasta and ingredients for the sauce and then turned to her sister, asking,<\/p>\n

\u201cTell me, Liberty. Why did he hit you?\u201d
\n\u201cIt\u2019s about splitting things evenly. Since he insisted on doing it his way, I demanded the same for everything else. That\u2019s when he manhandled me. I wouldn\u2019t have confronted him if it hadn\u2019t been for his sudden outburst.\u201d
\nNow that Serenity was informed, Liberty revealed the cause of the fight.
\nSerenity reprimanded her brother-in-law.
\nAlthough Liberty prevented her from retaliating against Hank, Serenity planned to confront him after dinner.
\nAs Liberty\u2019s family, Serenity felt it was important to send a clear message: she would protect her sister from anyone who tried to hurt her! <\/p>\n
