A flicker of hesitation flashed in Zach's eyes.
"Rena, Wendy's apartment is under renovation," he began. "The fumes are too strong, and it's bad for her health, so..."
Serena felt a tightness in her chest. She had convinced herself she wouldn't care anymore, yet the suffocating pain spread through her entire body.
"She can't afford a hotel?"
Wendy's eyes reddened as she packed up her violin. "Please don't fight because of me. I'll leave right now."
She reached for her suitcase in a fluster, but in her rush, she bumped into the corner of the table. A soft gasp escaped her lips as she clutched her chest, her breathy whimper both pained and delicate.
"Are you okay? Why are you so careless? Where does it hurt? Did you bring your medicine?" Zach's voice was full of worry as he scooped her into his arms and headed upstairs.
There were only two rooms upstairs-his and Serena's.
"This is my house. I don't agree!"
Serena stepped forward, blocking his way. The tension in the air turned suffocating.
Zach's expression darkened. "Serena, Wendy isn't feeling well right now. If you want to throw a tantrum, pick a better time. And let me remind you-I bought this villa. Get that straight."
Wendy's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as she weakly wrapped her arms around Zach's neck, her lips nearly brushing his jaw.
"Zach put me down," she pleaded. "Someone like me... How could I possibly deserve to stay here?"
Zach's protective instinct flared instantly. He shoved Serena aside and carried Wendy upstairs.
"I decide who belongs here," he declared.
Serena stumbled back, her leg hitting the staircase railing. A sharp pain shot through her, draining the color from her face.
Zach gently soothed Wendy, not sparing Serena a single glance.
After making sure Wendy was settled, he went downstairs, only to find that Serena was nowhere to be seen. He called her, but she didn't pick up.
