(Till death do we part) Chapter 6
Menu
Serenity spent three hours burning her stuff. Then, she pulled a large box
from the bottom of a closet. It contained the birthday presents Jax had given her
for the past ten years. A love letter at fifteen. Crystal slippers at eighteen. A
diamond tiara at twenty. A custom–designed ring at twenty–two. Each gift
was unique. She packaged them up and listed them online— each for 9.99 dollars
with free shipping. These billions of dollars‘ worth of gifts were soon snatched
- up. She had them packed up, and was about to rest when the door burst open.
Jax stood there, soaked, his voice trembling, “Serenity, why did you sell those
gifts for $9.99?”
Serenity looked at him, who should have come back as soon as he could. She
calmly asked, “How did you know?”
“It’s trending online,” he said, and he hugged her, trembling. “Serenity, what
does it mean? Are you leaving me? Don’t leave me… What did I do wrong? I’ll
change, I swear. His voice cracked.
She looked away with a touch of sarcasm in her eyes. If he was so scared of
her leaving, why would he have an affair? Was he too confident that he could
hide it forever, or did he think she was too dumb to find out? She wondered what
his reaction would be when he saw her ‘corpse” at the wedding.
