Chapter 3 Seeing the familiar face of our family's head of security step out of the car , I finally felt my heart settle . [ ] The Cross family had arrived . [] The thugs were immediately restrained , and Senna started screaming : " Who are you people ? What do you want with me ? I'm the Cross family heiress ! " ] Before she could finish , one of the security team knocked her out with a swift chop to the neck . [ ] The head of security said they'd take everyone who hurt me to the warehouse . What happened to them was completely up to me . ] ] And Phoenix and I were rushed to the hospital . [ ] The doctors said I just had some cuts and bruises - nothing serious . [ ] Phoenix was in much worse shape . He'd taken a serious blow to the head and needed to stay for treatment . [ ] Not until he came out of surgery and was wheeled into a room did I finally start to relax . I borrowed a nurse's phone to call my brother and let him know I was okay . [ ] When my brother heard that someone had claimed I wasn't really a Cross and tried to kill me , he was livid : [] " If I didn't have this crucial meeting I can't leave , I would've gone with security to handle this myself . " [ ] I quickly reassured him . " It's fine . Send security back to you - you need protection . Just leave a few bodyguards here with me ." " I " Oh , and one more thing - I don't want to marry Caspian anymore . I'm in love with his uncle . " [ ] My brother was shocked at first , then laughed . " Thank God you finally came to your senses . I could tell that boy was worthless from day one . " ] ] " Since you're done with him , starting today , I'm pulling all the resources our family gave them . Let him learn what happens when you mess with my sister . " ] After we hung up , I felt a weight lift off my shoulders . ] Whether in my past life or this one , Caspian had disappointed me completely . [] He only had eyes for his childhood friend Senna , throwing away years of our relationship to humiliate me . [ ] Getting a second chance at life , I definitely wouldn't let Caspian off easy this time . [ ] But I never expected that before I could settle the score with him , he'd come straight to me .[ ] His face was twisted with rage as he raised his hand and slapped me hard across the face . * Seraphina Cross , you've lost your goddamn mind ! Wasn't stealing twenty years of Senna's life enough ? Now you're getting people to hurt her ! When Mr. Cross finds out the truth , he'll destroy you ! fine , you wanna screw yourself over , but don't drag me down with you ! " ] The slap left a metallic taste flooding my mouth I slapped him right back and gave him a mocking smile . [ ] " She says she's the Cross heiress and you just believe her ? You two grew up together - does she look anything like my brother ? " [ ] Caspian frowned impatiently . " Stop making excuses . Senna already got a DNA test . " ] He paused , then added with fake concern , " Look , I get it - you don't wanna give up the Cross family lifestyle . Here's the deal : hand over your identity to Senna like a good girl , and I'll take care of you . I can't give you the Hartwell name , but I promise you'll live just as well as you did with the Cross family . "[ ] Chapter 3 Senna really did a DNA test with my brother ? ]] But how the hell did she get his genetic material ? ] ] I was full of questions and about to ask when Senna's voice rang out . [] " Seraphina Cross ! " Caspian shook his head helplessly . " You hurt Senna , so of course she wants payback . Just get on your knees and apologize . For old times ' sake , I'll put in a good word for you . " [ ] I was shocked to see Senna , and even more shocked by the bodyguard following behind her . I instinctively asked , " Who told you to let her out ? " ]] The bodyguard walked up to me and kicked me hard in the shin . [ ] I dropped to my knees , but he wasn't done - he slapped me across the face several times . [ ] " You little fake , still trying to act like some princess in front of me ? You got a death wish ! " [ ] My head was ringing from the beating . The bodyguard looked at me with pure disgust , like he really believed I was some imposter . [ ] I struggled to speak . " Didn't security tell you when he came ? Everything Senna said was bullshit . " [ ] The bodyguard snorted . " Miss Senna is the real Cross heiress . You're really committed to this act , aren't you? " [ ] Senna waved her hand , and the bodyguard immediately stepped back respectfully . [ ] She glanced coldly at the wounds on my face , then turned to Caspian : [] " Caspian , your girlfriend didn't just steal my life - she got two thugs to hurt me . Lucky our bodyguard showed up in time . " [ ] " I just wanna know - as her boyfriend , how are you gonna handle this ? " ] Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
