Obsessive CEO’s Sinful Wife by Lil’ Bamboo

Chapter 4

Aria’s countenance changed abruptly. Grayson, on the other hand, had already slapped Serenity hard across her face.

“How dare you speak like that?!” Grayson berated. “You’re the one who killed someone and got thrown into prison! Do you know how much trouble this family got into because of you?! You have no future left, so now you want to drag your sister down with you?!”

His eyes were filled with disgust for this daughter of his. He recalled how impressed his friends had been back when they had gained a connection with the Shaw family, and he was then reminded of how humiliated he had felt after that when Serenity had gotten into trouble!

One side of Serenity’s face was burning with pain, yet her eyes remained perfectly still and unperturbed, almost as if none of what had just happened mattered to her.

“I only came here to pay my respects to my mother’s ashes, but now I think I’d better get my mother’s urn out of here. She doesn’t have to be here anymore, and I will never set foot in this house ever again.”

After finishing her sentence, Serenity turned and left the place she had once called home.

This ‘home’ no longer had a place for her.
