Cupid's Arrow hit me hard!

Chapter 1

Wiltspoon’s hot weather in October was a killer.

Still, the mornings and evenings were eased by the late autumn breeze.

Serenity Hunt got up first thing in the morning to make breakfast for her sister's family of three before grabbing her birth certificate and slipping away in the silence.

"We're going Dutch from now on, and I’m talking about everything - the living expenses, the mortgage, and auto loans! Your sister should be splitting the cost since she's staying at our place.Sure, she pays two thousand bucks a month, but it doesn’t stretch very far.She's basically mooching off us."

Serenity overheard her brother-in-law’s comment during the couple's argument last night.She had to move out of her sister's place.

However, there was only one way to put her sister's mind to rest, and that was to get married.

Since Serenity wanted to tie the knot on short notice without ever having had a boyfriend, she decided to take up on Grandma May's offer.

Serenity had saved the old lady by chance and came to know that Grandma May was trying to marry off her grandson, Zachary York, who had trouble settling down.

Twenty minutes later, Serenity got off to her pit stop at City Hall.

"Serenity."

A familiar voice summoned her attention the moment she got out of the car.It was Grandma May.

"Grandma May."

As Serenity hurried over, she took notice of a towering yet distant figure standing next to Grandma May.He must be Zachary, her husband-to-be.

Ata closer distance, Serenity was dumbstruck after getting a load of Zachary’s face.

According to Grandma May, her eldest grandson, Zachary had no luck with the ladies despite hitting thirty.

Needless to say, Grandma May was worried sick.
