Serenity and Zachary York novel 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 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.”
