The Line She Crossed Chapter 10
“But being able to marry you makes me very happy.”Only then did I realize that Isolde’s calm composure earlier had been an act.She had believed I had asked her to step in merely as a last‑minute rescue, not because I truly wanted to marry her.I pinched her nose lightly. “Don’t say something so silly. I already set an alarm. We’re going to register our marriage first thing tomorrow morning.”Isolde’s eyes lit up instantly. “Really?”I nodded. “Really.”She threw herself into my arms and held me tightly.She was so excited that she didn’t sleep at all that night. Early the next morning, she urged me out the door, and we went together to get our marriage certificate.Only when she held the certificate in her hands did she finally break into a radiant smile.I felt that I truly had wronged her.From then on, I resolved to treat her well and never betray her.My parents rarely stayed in the country anymore, and Isolde’s parents lived overseas, so we decided to move abroa

“Who told you to be so stupid? I said a few nice words, and you actually believed me.“I was just a petty thug who didn’t know where the next meal was coming from. But thanks to you, I’ve not only got money—I’m now a wealthy son-in-law.“There’s no way I’m letting go.”Harold and Margaret slumped to the ground at Alaric’s admission.Who could have imagined that while scheming against others, they themselves were being schemed against?Margaret looked at me pleadingly.“For the sake of past feelings, can’t you help Sera?“She’ll be ruined by this scoundrel!”Seraphina was weeping with regret.“You heard it yourself, Cassian. It’s all Alaric’s fault!“He tricked me!“I don’t want to be married to him!”Did they really think I would help them? Not a chance.The look on my face broke Seraphina completely.She lunged toward Isolde.“You little bitch! If it weren’t for you, why would Cassian suddenly refuse to marry me?”I stepped in front of Isolde.“I warned you before,

“I told you to play! I didn’t tell you to be serious!” Margaret yelled back.Harold fumed fiercely and then slapped Margaret across the face.“You’ve spoiled her rotten! That’s why this mess happened!“Where does that leave my dignity?”Margaret grabbed my hand.“Cassian, listen to me. If you care about Sera being twice-married, we can sue Alaric.“Claim fraud, and annul the marriage. How about that?”Harold knew full well that if this wedding fell through, those patents would no longer be available for his company.Who knew? I might even take revenge.So, looking at Isolde he gritted his teeth and said, “Fine. You just need to marry Sera. You like this girl, you can keep her. “It doesn’t matter. We won’t object.”But Seraphina did not share his thoughts.“What right do you have to share a man with me?”I swung my still-healing arm and smashed Harold across the face.Forget respecting elders, I couldn’t care less.His words had insulted me, and Isolde.“Do you think I’

My parents had actually always liked Isolde; it was just that, back then, my heart and eyes held only Seraphina.I had even stubbornly stayed behind in the country, determined to be with her.At the time, my parents had said I would regret it.Now, I truly did.I had to admit that my parents had always been frighteningly good judges of character.Seraphina’s parents were afraid I would expose what happened back then—after all, it involved a kidnapping—so they no longer dared to stop me.Instead, Seraphina rushed forward in a panic.“You can’t do this, Cassian!“Today is supposed to be our wedding. You’re not allowed to marry someone else!”It was as if I were the one who had done something wrong.Yet hadn’t she herself brought us to this point?What was more, she had already registered her marriage, so why was she still clinging to me?I looked at her coldly.“Did you want the best of both worlds?“Marry two men at once?“Bigamy is a crime, you know?”Seraphina had not

“Wishing you both… never to be parted.”Everyone could hear the mocking undertone in those words.Seraphina’s parents finally grasped the gravity of the situation. They stepped in front of us, forcing a weak smile.“Cassian, is this a joke? Isn’t today supposed to be your wedding with Sera?“Surely you’re just performing a little show for everyone?“And please, don’t ever do this again.”I smiled at them, gesturing toward the marriage certificate Alaric still held.“They already registered their marriage, so how is this a joke?“Sorry, gotta go. My wedding is starting too.”Harold and Margaret’s faces burned with humiliation.“Sera! Explain yourself! What is going on here?”Seraphina turned pale, unable to speak.So I spoke for her.“She said she once promised to give herself to Alaric, so she had to marry him first.“Before the wedding, they even shared the bridal chamber several times.“I’m a romantic. How could I break up true love? So I had to let them be together.

Seraphina’s eyes lit up.“What’s the special program? Did you hire my favorite celebrity to perform?”I smiled with meaning.“Even more special than that. You’ll see in three days.”Alaric gestured toward the villa.“You’re willing to let me and Sera have a ceremony before the wedding…” he began.“So arranging the villa as a bridal suite and spending the night with her in advance isn’t too much, is it?”His tone dripped with arrogance.“Stop joking!” Seraphina said, but the shy, coquettish expression in her eyes told the whole story.Who knew how many times they had slept together behind my back? Did this one night even matter?“As long as you’re happy,” I said coldly.Then I turned and left.Seraphina felt a vague, sinking sense that she was about to lose something important.“Alaric… maybe we should skip the ceremony. There will be so many guests…”Alaric’s eyes flickered, and he held Seraphina tightly.“I just want to have the ceremony. “After this, you’ll be some
