To think Zachary owned a villa there and it was on the hilltop with the best view too
Stuffing her phone back into her pocket, Serenity turned around and walked to the sofa for a seat. She did not break gaze with Zachary.
Zachary was looking at her.
He wondered if she was angry or pleasantly surprised.
Serenity appeared surprised, but not the good kind.
“Seren, w–we rushed to get married, so I…”
Zachary drew close and sat next to her. The moment he took a seat, Serenity scooted to the side, pulling a distance between them. She told him off, “Stay right there. Don’t come too close to me.”
Tensing her facial lines, Serenity uttered furiously, “I know why you kept it from me. Do you think I’ll go after your money when I find out you own a villa?

Despite the pinches, Zachary refused to let go. He trapped her with his arms.
“I really want us to be in our home. It means something to me.
“Please forgive me for keeping it from you, Seren.”
Serenity tried to push him away, but his hold on her was secured. She gave up in the end.
“Is the villa paid for, or are you still paying the mortgage?”
Zachary did the math in mind before uttering, “I joined York Corporation fresh out of college and have been working for a few years. I started off with an annual income of a few hundred thousand dollars. It took me a few years before I earned my first million. Now, I bring home several million a year.
“Although I saved my wages, I wasn’t in the position to pay the house in cash. I’m on a mortgage, but I put down 80% for the down payment, so I didn’t have trouble making the monthly repayments. I put aside some money after deducting the mortgage to afford another property before marrying you.
“That was why I told you that the apartment in Brynfield and the national MPV will go to you if we divorce. It was to make up for your lost time.”
