It was frightening. The missus actually raised her hand against Mr. Zachary.

He lost it. When he saw the divorce agreement she drafted, he momentarily exploded in rage.
Yes, he was wrong for lying to her, but she went as far as to draft a divorce agreement. He only grew impulsive because she was not giving him any leeway.
“If you have an affair, use violence on me, or lie to me countless times, I’ll leave you,” -that was what Serenity said before.
Only at that moment did Zachary realize that Serenity was a woman of her word.
“Zachary, we’re both a mess now, and neither of us is calm. Please let me leave so we can take a breather, okay? Is there a point in you putting me under house arrest? You’ll

She thought of ending the marriage because she was infuriated after learning that he was the heir of the rich York family, and that she had been deceived by him the
entire time.
After a few moments of silence, she looked at him again and said, “Lend me your charger. My phone is out of battery.”
Zachary stared at her intently.
If her phone was out of battery, she would not be able to contact the outside world. He would be able to force her to stay by his side then.
However, that was not a real solution to the problem.
