Sonya immediately messaged Henry, 

“What’s going on?” 

“Just respond.” 

“I’m asking how my name ended up on the deed! When did this house become mine?” 

“The day you agreed to marry me, I had Mr. Givens start preparing the paperwork to transfer the villa to your name. Remember that time you got drunk and Mr. Givens picked you up? He had the deed ready for you to sign. You probably don’t remember.”

Sonya racked her brain. She vaguely recalled Mr. Givens handing her a stack of papers and asking her to sign in certain spot. Had she signed a property transfer agreement? didn’t agree!” she typed furiously. 

“You didn’t discuss it with

and I 

“Was discussion necessary?” 

“Wasn’t it?” 

“I didn’t think so.” 

“Hah, Mr. Sullivan, what do you think I am?” 

“My wife.” 

“No, you treat me like a commodity with a price tag!” 

“Are you angry?” 

“Have I already sold myself? Do I even have the right to be angry?” 

Henry didn’t reply. 

Sonya threw herself onto the bed, catching her breath. The doorbell rang. She went downstairs and found Julian Jennings standing outside, his face grim. 

“Something you need?” she asked. 

He sighed. “Seraphina and my mother are back. They’re fine.” 

“Of course they’re fine. I wouldn’t poison them and then incriminate myself.” 

“You shouldn’t pay attention to those online rumors.” 

“You only say that because it’s not *you* or Seraphina West being attacked, so you don’t care.” 

He ran a hand through his hair in frustration.“But you shouldn’t have posted a fake property deed! If the actual owner sees it, you’ll be sued!” 

“Fake? Hah. You think I photoshopped a fake deed?” 

“It’s obvious.” 

“So sure?” 

“The owner of that villa’s last name is Reynolds. Don’t tell me your so–called fiancé is him!” 

“Who my fiancé is is none of your business. Go back and coddle your precious Princess Wen!”

“You’ll buy me a house? Do you even have the right?” 

She scoffed, slammed the door, and locked it. 

Upstairs, her phone buzzed. She guessed it was Henry. She calmed herself before opening the messages. He’d sent several. 

“I’m sorry. I didn’t consider your feelings.” 

“But it wasn’t out of disrespect. From the moment you agreed to marry me, I’ve been carefully trying to figure out how to get along with you, afraid of upsetting you.” 

“I still messed up.” 

I thought sharing everything with you, including money and property, was a sign of trust between husband and wife.”

“Sonya, from the moment you agreed to marry me, you are my wife. You’re the my life with.” 

Sonya was stunned. She’d thought it was a partnership; if it worked, it worked; if not, they’d split. But Henry was talking about a lifetime.

He wanted to learn how to love her. 

Her heart swelled. She reread his messages, realizing his seriousness and sincerity. She felt both touched and ashamed. 

She admitted it; there had been a touch of spite in agreeing to marry him. She wanted to show Julian Jennings she wasn’t unmarriageable. She needed a fiancé; it didn’t really matter who. Henry needed a wife; it seemingly didn’t matter who either. 

She’d thought it was fair, but she’d remained detached from the role of fiancée, while Henry had fully embraced his role from the start. 

“It’s my fault,” Sonya replied. She added, “Give me some time to adjust to this identity: Henry’s wife.” 

“Sonya’s husband. I’ve adapted perfectly.” 

Sonya chuckled.“Are you up yet?” 

“Actually, I’m booking a flight back.” 

“You’re coming back?” 

“To beg you not to be mad at me.” 

She was surprised he’d rush back because she was angry. 

“Cancel it. I’m not angry anymore.” 

“I’ll be back as soon as possible.” 

“Okay.” 

After ending the chat, Sonya checked the online comments on Henry’s post. Seraphina West’s
