<Till death do we part) Chapter 5

Serenity covered her mouth, unable to put up with it. She fled. After a while,
she collapsed on the stairs, gasping for air, tears pouring down her face. Meeting
Rylee at the auction was bad, but this was worse.
Jax used to be so innocent that holding her hand made him blush. He would
even shake badly after a kiss with her. And they didn’t have sex until she agreed to
his proposal.
One time she joked about his self–control, and he just held her in his arms,
his voice hoarse.“Baby, there is no man who doesn’t want to get laid. But I love
you so much that I won’t make you mine until everything is settled.”
His tenderness had filled her heart with warmth, but reality slapped her hard.

“Forget it. I don’t want it.”
He wanted to follow, but saw Rylee walking by with that ring on her finger.
His face paled. Before he could say anything, Serenity walked past Rylee, as if she
didn’t see her.
After Serenity was gone, Jax grabbed Rylee’s hand. Are you insane? I told
you to stay away from Serenity! She’s my limit!”
Rylee smiled. “Sorry, but she didn’t notice, right? I won’t do it again.” She
undid two buttons of her shirt.“To apologize, I’ll make up to you tonight. Big
surprise.”

Jax swallowed, his eyes darkening.

That night, Jax didn’t come home. He said it was work but Serenity knew he
was lying. She didn’t confront him. She had decided to fake her own death and
destroy all traces of her in this world. She would leave Jax forever and leave him
nothing but a fake corpse.
