Chapter 9

"Zoran, my feelings for you are genuine. You should believe me, right? I've been with you for three years without any official status. Now that Serenity's finally gone, there's nothing standing in our way."

Zoran's face darkened as he struck her with a resounding slap.

"Don't ever mention Serenity again. Why did she suddenly leave? What did you say to her? I'll get to the bottom of this soon, and if I find out you had anything to do with it, I won't let you off easy."

On his way to the dock, Zoran made a call to his subordinate.

"Look into whether Serenity and Primrose have met recently. Find out everything they talked about. Don't miss a single word!"

It wasn't that Zoran didn't want to return to the mansion; he was afraid to go back. He knew she was no longer there.

The home he once disliked returning to, he now dreaded going back to.

He remembered how someone used to wait for him at home every day, but now the massive mansion stood cold and empty.
