Serenity and Zachary York

Chapter 146

Chapter 146 Serenity‘s sister was her rock. Now that Serenity was all grown up and had the means, it

was her turn to protect her sister.

“Seren.”

Liberty held onto her sister and said, “Don‘t go. The injury is only superficial. Plus, I didn‘t let him get

away with it. I chased him down a few streets with a knife and scared him out of his wits. I trust he This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

won‘t be violent to me anymore.”

“If he has done it once, he will do it again, Liberty. He won‘t know fear if you don‘t fight back when he

lays his hands on you. He’ll only assault you again.”

There should be zero tolerance toward domestic violence!

“I know. That‘s why I didn‘t give in and beat him up too. Teven went after him with a knife. You

should‘ve seen the scared look on his face. His legs were shaking. I heard that you must win the first

fight between couples, and I won! He should think twice before laying his hands on me next time.”

Liberty pulled her sister back firmly, keeping Serenity from getting even with Hank. “He‘s back at his

parents‘ home. You‘ll be facing his entire family if you go there. It won‘t go well for you. Don‘t go. I won‘t

tolerate his

behavior anymore. I‘ll fight back if he screams and raises his hand at me.”

“Liberty, why didn‘t you tell me?” Heartbroken , Serenity caressed her sister‘s bruised face and asked in

distress, “Does it still hurt, Liberty ? D*mn Hank! How could he be rough with you? You‘ve been

together for so many years and even gave him a son. I can‘t believe he hit you.”

Liberty curled her lips bitterly. “He has been disgusted by the way I look since a long time ago.

“Did Zachary come over too?”

“He‘s here. He‘s playing with Sonny in the living room,” Serenity replied.

Liberty spoke in a muted tone to urge her sister, “Seren, you see how my marriage is breaking down. At

the end of the day, it‘s all because I quit my job and trusted your brother –in–law when he said he‘d

take care of me. You need to always be financially independent. No matter what, women should have

their own source of income.

“Don‘t believe the bullsh*t men say about supporting you financially. It‘ll put you in a passive position.

It‘s fine if he follows through with his marriage vows and loves you forever, but if you get a man like

your brother–in–law … Look at what happened to me.. Also, you have to take care of your appearance

Take time for yourself and watch your figure. Men are lying when they say they‘ll love you

no matter what you become! They‘re shallow and their values are only skin–deep.”

“I will, Liberty.”

Serenity owned a bookshop, so it would not impede her from running a household.

Zachary never said anything about getting her to quit and supporting her at home. All he did was make

her sign a contract to divorce six months later…

As for gaining a thicker waistline after giving birth, Serenity believed that she was far from going down

that route. It may not even happen.

She did not intend to remarry if she and Zachary were to separate. Serenity was fine with being on her

own.

Serenity could adopt a child from the orphanage if she wanted to raise a child.

“Why did you fight, Liberty?”

Serenity wanted to know the reason.

Liberty turned off the fire and removed the pan from the stove. “I‘m guessing you and Zachary haven‘t

had dinner. Let‘s eat together. I‘ll make extra servings of pasta.”

She only made enough for herself and Sonny,

“I‘ll do it, Liberty.”

Serenity was a better cook than her sister

She began preparing the pasta and ingredients for the sauce before turning to her sister and asked,

“Tell me, Liberty. Why did he strike you?”

“It‘s about going halves. Since he insisted on doing it, I demanded the same on everything else too.

That was when he manhandled me. I wouldn‘t have had a go at him if it wasn‘t for his sudden outburst.”

Now that Serenity was in the know, Liberty spilled the beans on the reason for the fight.

Serenity chewed her brother–in–law out.

Although Liberty stopped her from getting even with Hank, Serenity decided to look for her brother–in–

law after dinner.

As Liberty‘s family, Serenity needed to put the message out there. She would go after anyone who

came at her sister!
