Marry My Ex's Sworn Enemy

Chapter 45: | Seem to Have Married a Billionaire

Exiting the subway, Henry carried the basket of vegetables in one hand and held Sonya's hand in the other.

"Let's go back htomorrow and bring my grandmother and your aunt and uncle to New York," Henry said.

Sonya nodded. Their wedding was a week away, and their families hadn't met yet.

"And your parents, | should pay my respects."

Sonya snuggled into Henry's arm. Marrying the right person meant he cared about her concerns, thinking ahead

of her.

Back at the villa, Henry gave the vegetables to the security guard. They were going hfor a couple of days,

and the greens wouldn't last.

Back inside, Henry felt queasy, so Sonya made him ssoothing hangover soup. As she carried it upstairs, he

was showering. A loud knocking cat the door.

She put the soup down and went to the window. It was Julian Jennings.

"Open up! Sonya, open the door!"

Drunk, he was leaning against the door, barely standing.

Sonya frowned. Across the way, Seraphina, in her pajamas, opened her door. Seeing Julian Jennings at

at Sonya's door, not his own, she slammed it shut, locking it.

It was late autumn; the nights were growing cold.

Julian Jennings, unable to open the door, slid to the ground, lying at her doorstep.

"I think | heard knocking," Henry emerged from the shower.

"It's Julian Jennings," Sonya pointed.

Henry went to the window, peering out. He sneered, "All these years, and he still hasn't over it."

Sonya chuckled, then remembered something.

"Oh, | haven't told you aboutand him. We..."

Before she could finish, Henry nipped at her lip. She widened her eyes, confused, but Henry possessively pulled

her close.

"From now on, 'we' only refers to you and me. He's not even in the sleague."

It was childish, overflowing with jealousy, but Sonya smiled, kissing Henry's chin. "My story with him, do you

want to hear it?"

Henry shook his head. "Not at all."

Sonya looked him in the eye, earnestly, "I won't mention him again."

Henry kissed her."Good."

The kiss deepened. As Sonya was laid on the bed, she remembered the soup, pushing Henry to drink it. He

gulped it down, then eagerly returned. Passion consumed Sonya.

She woke up thirsty in the middle of the night, her back aching.

"What's wrong?" Henry asked.

Sonya mumbled about being thirsty. Moments later, water was at her lips. After a few sips, she cleared her head,

realizing Henry was holding her close, gazing at her lovingly. "More?" he asked.

Sonya shook her head, wrapping her arms around his neck, lazily snuggling into him. They hadn't dated, yet it

felt like they'd been together for years. The familiarity, the dependence, the sweetness-at times, it felt surreal.

The next morning, Sonya woke to find Henry making breakfast.

After showering, she went to the window, opening the curtains. Julian Jennings was sitting up. His hair was

messy, his clothes covered in dirt. He shivered from the cold night, then looked over.

Their eyes met. He glared at her, defeated, and she felt only indifference. Unable to bear her gaze, Julian

Jennings looked away, quickly returning to his apartment. After breakfast, Sonya got dressed while Henry went to

the front to meet the car. Luke would be driving. At the entrance, Henry was talking to the security guard. He

was animated.

"Your beef was tough and chewy. You're cutting it wrong. Don't cut across the grain; cut with it. And when you

marinate, add pineapple juice to tenderize."

The guard was attentive, taking notes.

"How old are you?"

"Sixty-five."

"Children?"

on cooking tender beer.

"One son. He's married and has a granddaughter. She's so sweet."

Sonya approached. Henry took her hand.

"This is my wife."

""Ms. Ella... nice... nice."

The guard seemed surprised. Sonya had lived in the building for eight years, always as Julian Jennings's

girlfriend.

"Oh, is that your car?" the guard asked.

Henry nodded. "We're leaving now."

"Just curious, it's a nice car."

"It's alright."

Sonya looked at the car - a Rolls-Royce, she thought. She wondered how many cars he owned. Luke sometimes

drove a black Maybach, sometimes a white Range Rover. Now, this. 36.3%

She'd heard their villa was the best in SeaCloud Villas, and he'd recently bought an estate. She was curious
