 Chapter 24Â
Seraphina linked her arm with Spencer’s and turned to leave, but Caspian grabbed her from behind, refusing to let go.Â
“Seraphina, you’ve had your revenge. We’re even now. I’m not asking you to take me back, just give me one more chance to win you over.”Â
“Don’t get married so soon, okay?”Â
He had lived for over two decades, only to realize his life had been a joke.Â
Kingsley Corp. might no longer bear the Kingsley name.Â
The woman he had once wanted to protect the most turned out to be a liar, and the woman he now wanted to protect despised him utterly.Â
Spencer lowered his gaze. “I’ll have the bodyguards take you out first,” he said to Seraphina. “I need to have a word with Caspian.”Â
Seraphina wanted nothing more to do with Caspian. “Okay,” she nodded.Â
Outside, Seraphina could hear the sounds of a fight from within the room.Â
But she didn’t intervene. She knew Spencer wouldn’t be the one to get hurt.Â
Before long, Spencer emerged, his suit jacket draped over his arm, his white shirt spotted with blood.Â
But Spencer was unharmed, so the blood had to be Caspian’s.Â
Caspian followed close behind, his lip split, a cut on his forehead, and one eye already swelling shut.Â
But Seraphina pretended not to see him. Her eyes were only for Spencer. “Are you hurt?” She asked with concern.Â
A small smile touched Spencer’s lips. “Doesn’t hurt a bit. Your revenge is complete.”Â
Seraphina smiled through the tears in her eyes. “Good.”Â
In that moment, Caspian understood completely.Â
Seraphina truly didn’t love him anymore. And she had truly fallen in love with Spencer.Â
He had lost, completely and utterly.Â
Seraphina and Spencer intertwined their fingers. “Let’s go. Let’s go home.”Â
As they neared the elevator, Caspian shouted from behind them, “Seraphina, if I hadn’t mistaken you for her back then, would we still have ended up like this?”Â
Caspian had never cried in front of Seraphina before. This was the first time.Â
Suddenly, Seraphina stopped, but she didn’t turn around.Â
‘Caspian, does it matter? There are no ‘what ifs’ in this world. You made a mistake, and you have to live with the consequences.”Â
“Besides, the love I want has never been about gratitude. It’s about genuine affection. If you only wanted to be with me because you felt you owed me for saving you, that’s not the kind of love I want.”Â
“Caspian, maybe even if you hadn’t made that mistake, we still wouldn’t have been right for each other.”Â
No matter how much Caspian called after her, Seraphina didn’t stop. She pulled Spencer along and quickly left Kingsley Corp. behind for good.Â
Although she had acquired the Kingsley Corp. shares, Seraphina didn’t keep them. The very next day, she sold them to Caspian’s biggest rival.Â
Shortly after, using various tactics, his rival forced Caspian out of the company entirely.Â
In the hotel bathroom.Â
Seraphina stood on her tiptoes, looking up at Spencer, her arms wrapped around his waist.Â
“I’ve sold the Kingsley Corp. shares. Are you still jealous?“Â
Chapter 24Â
Although Spencer hadn’t said anything, Seraphina knew he had been secretly jealous for the past few days.Â
Since het been caught, Spencer didn’t hide it. He squeezed her slim waist and lifted her onto the counter. Her back was pressed against the cold mirror, while the heat of his body was in front of her-a world of ice and fire.Â
As if to punish her, Spencer pressed into her deliberately, making Seraphina let out an involuntary gasp.Â
A mischievous smile played on his lips. “You sold the shares to his biggest rival. Aren’t you afraid he’ll hate you for the rest of his life?”Â
Seraphina said, “Whether he hates me is his problem, not mine. Or did you want me to keep a souvenir from my ex-husband?”Â
“Spencer, I didn’t realize you were so generous.”Â
Spencer’s smile was captivating. He suddenly lifted her into his arms.Â
The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Seraphina cling to him tightly, unable to let go.Â
Seraphina knew he was doing this on purpose. It was one of his little tricks.Â
But she didn’t mind. At least it proved he loved her.Â
Slowly, he nibbled at her earlobe. “I came all the way to Westwood with you. Don’t you think you owe me some compensation?”
