Chapter 19

Serena recoiled in disgust at Zach's touch. He had used that very hand to hold Wendy, yet now he was trying to hold onto her. She angrily pulled her wrist out of his grasp, using the same tone Zach had once used to question her. "How long are you going to keep this up?" "I'm here to apologize." He quickly closed their distance. "We haven't missed our chance. If you want to, we can choose another time to get married. This time, it's entirely up to you. I'll make sure I have the time for it." "I don't need that," she replied, trying to leave. Zach's patience snapped. He had come through everything, facing danger just to find her, yet she still refused him. "Serena, why can't you be as understanding as Wendy—" Serena turned without hesitation and slapped him across the face, her eyes red with anger. "Remember this. The moment you went to Wendy instead of going to the courthouse with me, that was when we were already over." Sensing trouble, the security guards rushed toward them.
