Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 4462 – But this time, the slap didn’t land.
Serenity had already stepped forward and caught Romina’s wrist mid-swing. River was still holding Belle, so he couldn’t retaliate. Serenity stepped in to protect the child—she didn’t want Belle to get accidentally hurt.
Romina stared at Serenity.The young woman was beautiful, poised, and clearly strong-she gave off the vibe of a capable, no-nonsense woman.
When did River start seeing someone like her? River had never dated anyone. Could he really be into younger women? Romina had to admit-if she were a man, she’d be drawn to someone like Serenity too.
“Let me go!” Romina yelled. “You seduced my husband and still have the nerve to act high and mighty?! Who even are you? Are you his wife? River doesn’t even have a girlfriend, so how can he have a wife?”
Serenity, expression firm, said, “I’m River’s sister-in-law, not his mistress! Those two kids are his niece and nephew. My husband is River’s brother. Of course there’s a resemblance-it’s completely normal for family members to look alike.” Romina froze. “You’re… River’s sister-in-law?”
No wonder she couldn’t break free-River’s sister-in-law was clearly trained in martial arts or something. River gently set Belle down beside Maverick, who quickly scooped her up and stared at Romina warily.
Then River stood, took Romina’s hand from Serenity, and said, “Sister-in-law, it’s fine. Let her go.” Serenity let go and asked, “River, do you know this woman?”
Clearly, their relationship was tense. This woman had done it on purpose-made a scene to ruin River’s reputation and sneak in a few slaps.
Just look at River’s face-it was already red and swollen, her handprint still visible. She’d hit him with full force.
“I’m Romina Lafond,” she said proudly. “Vice President of the Lafond Group. I’ve known River for years. He’s my arch-nemesis-we’re constantly battling over business.”
Then she turned to River. “Let go of me!” River raised a brow. “Romina, what did you just call me? Husband?”
Romina snapped, “No! You heard wrong. I called you a dead man! You’re the one who fights me every day-stealing clients, snatching orders I worked hard to negotiate. I’ve had enough, River! This isn’t over-I won’t let it go!”
River let her go, then pointed at the red mark on his cheek. His voice was cold. “You slapped me in public, Romina.
That’s not something I’m letting slide. Business is about skill. If I landed those orders, it means I’m capable. Why are you so bitter? You try to take other people’s clients, but when someone takes yours, you lose it?”
He narrowed his eyes. “You scared my niece, and you humiliated me. If you don’t apologize and clear this up—” Romina cut him off, chin raised defiantly. “Or what?” She wasn’t afraid of River at all.
