After serving five years in prison for her brother, she was released and arrived at a hotel, supposedly for a welcome-home celebration. Instead, it turned out to be her brother's and wife's wedding venue.
Just as I thought the venue had made a mistake, my brother handed me a suit.
I was overjoyed, thinking this was a surprise planned by my wife and brother.
Putting on the suit, I discovered, to my shock, that the groom was actually my brother.
"Thank you all for attending Serenity's and my wedding. Serenity and I will certainly grow old together."
Everyone offered their congratulations, wishing them a lifetime of happiness.
I wanted to angrily confront them, but my parents held me back.
Afterwards, my wife and brother explained to me:
"You just got out of jail and have a criminal record. We're only getting married for the kids' sake. It's a fake marriage. But in public, you can only call Serenity your sister-in-law."
The next day, they were inseparable, even going on a honeymoon.
Regaining my composure, I contacted their sworn enemy. "Alright, I accept. I'm in."

No Homecoming

"You don't need to explain anything to me. We're already divorced. It's not just a trial separation. The law recognizes your marriage to Damien. You don't need to waste your time on me."


Serenity's eyes immediately welled up with tears as she desperately clutched my hand.


"No, I won't divorce you. I told you it was just a fake divorce. You're my only husband. How could I possibly divorce you?"


"What happened before was my fault. I put you through some hardship, but you should understand my reasons."


I was sick of her constantly emphasizing her reasons.


I yanked my hand away. "Your words are useless now. What's done is done. Just leave me alone, both of you."


I didn't want to keep going in circles with them.


Serenity bit her lip, anger flashing across her beautiful face. "Zoran, this isn't how we should end things. I made you a promise, and I intend to keep it. Come on, let's go home..."


As she spoke, she started pulling me towards the exit.
