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

The moment their eyes met, Serenity's gaze sharpened considerably.


But now wasn't the time to clash with Melody. Serenity stepped forward, intending to approach me.


She hadn't taken two steps before Melody blocked her path.


Serenity glared at Melody, her face burning with anger. "What are you doing?! This is between me and my husband. You're an outsider, you shouldn't interfere!"


Melody let out a derisive laugh. "Outsider? Zoran is my employee. You? You're his ex-wife. You don't even qualify as an outsider."


"You're a married woman, yet here you are, chasing after my employee. Could it be that you still have feelings for him? That's pretty sinful of you. This is adultery, you know."


Serenity's fury exploded instantly. She raised her hand, ready to teach Melody a lesson.


Before it could land on Melody's face, I caught her wrist.


I flung her hand away. "Serenity, haven't you caused enough trouble?"
