Chapter 118
“Denver, I didn’t mistake you for someone else. Of course I know who you are.“}]
“I regret it now,” Regina choked out.
“In our past life, Sean jumped into the sea and took his own life. I carried that guilt with me, this unshakable obsession. I thought… If I could save him this time, maybe things would turn out differently. But I was terribly wrong.”
“The moment I chose him… I lost you.”
I frowned, impatient.
Wasn’t that obvious from the start?
“Denver, I’ve already broken off the engagement with Sean. There’s no way I’ll ever marry him in this lifetime.”}
“I finally understand how I truly feel. The person I’ve loved all along–it was always you. I was awful at you in our last life, but this time, let me make it up to you. Please, let me try.“D
“Denver… I’m begging you. Just give me one more chance.”
Looking at Regina now, I found her both pitiful and laughable.
Back then, the only reason I got engaged to her was because she was supposed to be mine.
So, of course Sean had to take her from me.§
But now that I no longer wanted her, suddenly he didn’t want her either.]
And now he was shamelessly trying to seduce my wife, Melissa.
After being humiliated last time and nearly ending up at the police station, he finally backed off–for now.
I thought maybe he and Regina were finally going to stay locked together in their toxic little bubble.
But then, Regina didn’t want him now.
I let out a long, tired sigh and pushed her away. “Please have some self–respect.”
“Who you choose to be with is none of my business. But you need to remember–I’m Melissa’s husband now.”
“If you ever show up and harass me again, don’t blame me for calling the police.”
Regina tried to cling to me again–but before she could, Melissa stepped forward, gently taking my hand and shielding me behind her. Immediately, Regina backed off like a frightened kitten.}
She knew exactly what Melissa had been doing these past few weeks: restructuring, acquiring, swallowing up one company after another -including hers.”
Even the Crawford Corporation–yes, my father’s company–was now scrambling to stay on Melissa’s good side.}
That same man who once beat me without hesitation, who threatened to cut ties and disown me, was now trying to cozy up and beg for favors.
He even asked me to speak sweetly to Melissa at night, to “put in a good word” for him–for the sake of “family.“N
All so she’d give him a few crumbs in the form of business partnerships.
I just laughed coldly.
So it was true–when profit’s on the table, blood ties mean nothing.”
“Sure,” I said, sipping my coffee with a smirk.
“Til help you out.“%
“But only in two conditions.”
“Divorce Sean’s mother. Then go kneel at my mother’s grave and knock your head three times. Loud enough for her to hear it underground.“%
[The End]
