Chapter 8
“Sophia, thank God you’re finally awake!“]
“You’ve been out for five days!“]
Phoebe carefully held my hand, the warmth making my heart melt.[]
“Thank-” cough cough cough![]
After not talking for so long, I started choking on air.
She quickly grabbed the water cup from my bedside.[]
A few sips of warm water soothed my throat so I could finally speak.[]
“Phoebe, thanks for staying with me…“]
“I should be thanking YOU! If you hadn’t risked everything to save me, those psychos would’ve killed me!“[]
Speaking of which, I was dying to know–what the hell happened to Vincent and Aria?[]
Phoebe totally read my mind and knew exactly what I was thinking.[]
Her eyes lit up with pure revenge as she gave me all the gory details of how her dad had destroyed them.[]
Every word made me feel AMAZING. Those bastards got what they deserved![]
But… in my past life, Hunter was so pissed he dragged Aria straight to the sharks. Vincent only survived after I begged like crazy, and even then he lost half his tongue.[]
This time I’d been out cold for five days–who knows what happened now.
“Phoebe, what did your dad do to them?“]
“Made them wish they were DEAD!“]]
Phoebe’s eyes went ice cold with a hatred way too intense for a kid her age.[]
She grabbed the remote and flicked on the huge TV.[]
A live feed filled the screen.]
“Vincent and Aria tried to murder Phoebe at the hospital, then wanted to cover it all up.“[]
“If they can try to kill an innocent kid, let’s see how they like facing DEATH!“]
On screen, Vincent and Aria were roped to a speedboat, getting dragged through the water like human chum.[]
Starving sharks were circling everywhere.[]
“Dad’s private waters. Those sharks haven’t eaten in a week.“]]

From ER to CEO. I Let the Sharks Handle My Trash Ex!
Chapter 8
“How’s this for payback, Sophia?“]
Watching Vincent and Aria scream as sharks ripped them apart with razor teeth–I felt fucking INCREDIBLE.]
“This is AMAZING!“]]
“Your dad’s a total savage!“]
On screen, Vincent heard my voice and grabbed onto it like a lifeline.[]
He screamed at the camera, completely losing it.[]
“Sophia, is that you?!“]
“Please save me! The sharks are gonna tear me apart!!“[]
“I was totally wrong–I lost my mind! Beg Mr. Hawthorne to spare me!“]
In my past life, I actually felt sorry for this piece of shit. I dragged my broken body off the hospital bed and crawled across the floor.[]
I’d kowtowed ninety–nine times on that cold tile until my forehead cracked the stone and blood poured down my face.[]
Hunter was so moved by my devotion that he spared Vincent’s worthless life.]
And how did that asshole thank me?
Locked me in a freezer to DIE!]
Seeing my silence, Vincent begged even more desperately.
“Sophia, we were married–that’s gotta count for something! You can’t just let me die!“[]
“Plus My blood saved your life–you can’t screw me over now!“]
Phoebe immediately shot back.[]
“YOU and that psycho bitch stabbed Aunt Sophia and made her bleed out!”
“She only needed blood because YOU nearly killed her!“]]
Having someone stick up for me felt amazing.]
I took a deep breath and spoke crystal clear.[]
“Vincent, I’m NOT saving you.“]
“I wanna watch you DIE!“]
