Chapter 8 I saw the three people locked up inside . [ ] The head bodyguard was in the worst shape . Who would've thought such a strong - looking guy was all show ? Just a little punishment and he'd pissed and shit himself - the whole area reeked . [ ] When he saw me , he dropped to his knees begging : " Miss , please give me another chance ! Don't let me lose this job - my whole family depends on my salary . " I sneered . " You won't just lose this job - no one will ever hire you again . If you want to live , take your whole family and get the hell out of here . " [] Senna wasn't much better off than the bodyguard . Her once - proud face was covered in wounds that looked infected - she'd never recover . This was worse than killing her . [] She looked at me with pure venom . " Seraphina Cross , why ?! Why are you prettier than me and born into such a happy family ? Why ?! " ] I didn't even bother responding . My indifference made Senna scream even more frantically , pulling at her facial wounds . ] ] Finally , I looked at Caspian . [ ] Since he was Phoenix's nephew , my brother had considered Phoenix's feelings as his future son - in - law and hadn't let anyone touch Caspian , saying Phoenix could handle it himself . ] But Caspian thought I still had feelings for him , looking at me desperately : " Seraphina , I knew you still cared about me , right ? You can't bear to hurt me . That bitch fooled me - I've always loved you . Let's get married , okay ? " || ] v . " I I stared at his disgusting face for a long time , then suddenly laughed . " Hahaha , Caspian , you really look like a dog right now ." " How can someone be so shameless ? What makes you think I'd want you ? " ] " You don't know yet , do you ? Our families are about to be united through marriage , but not with you - with your uncle , Phoenix . " I linked my arm through Phoenix's and felt him stiffen immediately , his ears turning red . ] Phoenix took my other hand and looked down at Caspian . " You might not know - your father kicked you out of the family registry to show the Cross family his sincerity . The Hartwell family has no son like you anymore . " ] ] " Mr. Cross doesn't need to go easy on my brother's worthless adopted son . Just give him back ten times the pain he caused Seraphina . " ] " Adopted son ? What do you mean ? Uncle , you're abandoning me ? I'm your real nephew ! " Caspian knelt on the ground , grabbing Phoenix's pants . ] ] " Of course not . My brother can't have children , so he adopted a kid from an orphanage . I never thought you'd be so greedy that you'd hurt Seraphina . I already talked to my brother - he said he can't tolerate someone like you either . " Phoenix put his arm around my waist and we left the warehouse . [ ] Belund us , Caspian's desperate screams echoed as we smiled at each other and got in the car . [ ] With my brother's encouragement , Phoenix and I would marry next month . ] Time passed quietly . Later I heard Senna was pregnant - three months along . After getting beaten up , Caspian still tried to find me and apologize , but hearing about my marriage to Phoenix broke him completely . [ ] He drank all night , then came home and beat the hell out of Senna . Even so , Senna was willing to stay with him without any official status . Chapter 8 She knew her face was ruined and she'd made too many enemies . If she left Caspian , she'd really have nothing . But none of that mattered to me anymore . I was focused on planning my wedding with Phoenix . [ ] On our wedding day , I couldn't help asking him : " When did you start liking me ?" ] Phoenix looked into my eyes with complete sincerity . " From the first day I met you , my heart was already yours . " ] ] We exchanged rings . ]] The missed opportunity from my past life was finally fulfilled in this one .
