Marry My Ex's Sworn Enemy

Chapter 5: I've Already Decided to Marry Someone Else

Sonya pulled her suitcase out of the mansion, momentarily disoriented by the bustling street. This was where

she'd lived for eight years, the place she thought of as home. She'd decided to break up with Julian and move

out, but hadn't had tto find a new place.

Where could she go now?

Just then, her phone buzzed twice..

She checked it. It was a voice message from Henry.

"I'm in Beijing. Nice weather today, but tons of work. Had a piece of toast for breakfast, hard to swallow. Guess |

miss Chicago. | was too busy for lunch and dinner is a business meeting. I'll probably get drunk. | hate business

dinners... It was long, detailed, like a work report.

Sonya was confused, but his last sentence was pleasing.

"Oh, right. My house is in Cloud Haven Villas, building eight. You can move in anytime. This will be our home. Of

course, if you don't like it, we can find another place." Cloud Haven Villas. He lived in the scommunity! It

was so close..

Sonya arrived at building eight, using the code Henry had texted her to unlock the door. A cool, austere air

greeted her.

The layout was identical to her old place, but the decor was completely different.

Hers had been warm, with wall hangings and plenty of furniture.

Henry's was stark black and white, empty and minimalist. There was even no sofa in the living

room.

Was this really livable?

Doubtful, Sonya went upstairs. The second floor was equally barren.

Three bedrooms, only the master had a bed-a single bed, no dresser.

She guessed Henry didn't live here often, or perhaps he just hadn't finished decorating. Nothing was furnished.

After unpacking, Sonya headed to work on an empty stomach.

Ashley shared her a bun and half a cup of soy milk before showing off her own love life."My husband made the

dough last night and steamed these buns this morning. They are my favorite." Sonya looked envious. "You better

hold onto him tight. | might steal him." Ashley smirked. "He's mine. And only mine."

That day, Sonya felt lighter.

For eight years, she'd given unilaterally, carrying the weight of her love for Julian, until she was exhausted.

Letting go made her feel free again.

In the afternoon, Julian texted her.

"Do you want your books back? If not, I'm throwing them out."

Without replying, she deleted his message and blocked his number.

She'd left a lot behind; eight years of memories couldn't be erased overnight. The books were the

least of her worries.

After work, Henry replied to her message.

She'd texted to him earlier, telling him that she had moved in.

He replied: Welcome.

Only one word, but it warmed Sonya's heart.

She texted him again: Can | sleep in your bed?

Knowing he wouldn't reply immediately, Sonya rushed On the subway, she realized her message sounded weird.

She tried to explain that she'd buy another bed soon, but he'd already replied: Okay. Sonya's face flushed.

Because of the tdifference, it must be 3 AM there. He wasn't sleeping? Exiting the subway, Sonya headed to

the supermarket. Henry needed a lot of household items.

As she reached the entrance, Leo called.

"Sonya, help!"

Sonya froze."What happened?"

"What?!"

Sonya rushed to Jake's bar; it was already cleared out.

She saw a mess in the courtyard, and the staff were cleaning up.

They pointed to a private room.

Inside, everything was smashed. The table was broken, chairs overturned, shattered glass everywhere.

Julian slumped on the sofa,

his head.

Sonya glanced at him and turned to leave.

"Sonya, you finally came! Help!*

Leo ran out, grabbing her."l really got stabbed!"

He pointed to his arm.

He was bleeding.

Jake arrived, pushing Leo away, handing Sonya a first-aid kit.

"That guy refuses to go to the hospital, and he won't let anyone touch him. He only wants you."

"We broke up. Even if he dies, it's none of my business, Sonya said wearily.

"I know, but exes can still be friends, right?"

"We can't be friends."

"Sonya, just doa favor, okay?*

Jake pulled her aside.
