บททั้งหมดของ Repent for Your Sins and Regrets: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 9

Julian could no longer remain calm after that. He noticed the dark expressions on my family's faces and hastily said to me, "Willow, don't worry. "The Wrights would only ever accept you as our daughter-in-law. I will bar Miles from bringing unworthy people before me."My parents' faces were beyond thunderous at this point. My father didn't hesitate to retort, "Julian, my daughter has been treated poorly. What makes you think I would ever allow her to marry that illegitimate son of yours after this?"Julian hurriedly apologized. After all, my family had been working with the Wrights for years. So, he would much rather give up on Miles than dare to offend the Moores, who were important business partners.Nevertheless, he pleaded with me to give it another hour, and I reluctantly agreed. Alas, all we got out of it was news of Miles proposing to Faith. The guests in attendance burst into whispered discussion, openly disparaging Miles' irresponsible behavior.Julian's face was red fro

No, I refused to take this lying down. I refused to give in even if these men lay their hands on me. I was never the one in the wrong. So, none of this mattered. I would ensure that my parents and brother would live this life to the fullest, and I would do it while sending Miles straight to the pits of hell.I heard his footsteps fading away and felt several disgusting gazes landing on me. I sensed someone drawing closer and felt every hair on my body stand on end as I trembled in fear.I tightened my hold on the shard of glass and readied myself for a fight to the death.Suddenly, someone kicked the door wide open in the private room. Cassius was drenched in blood as he grabbed Miles by the neck and violently threw him to the ground.Then, I heard the sounds of fists striking flesh. In the next second, someone removed the cloth covering my eyes, and I saw Cassius pinning Miles down. He was mercilessly raining punch after punch on Miles' face.Miles' face was practically covered i

I looked at Cassius' cold yet charming face and felt as if my heart was about to leap out of my chest. My father smiled and said, "I can rest at ease knowing that Willow will be in your care."So, Cassius brought me to the bureau to register our marriage the very next morning. He said he was afraid that things would come crashing down the longer we waited. As a result, we became the first couple to register their marriage that day.I held the freshly issued certificate with a rather dazed look on my face. I felt as though I was dreaming.I shot a sneaky glance at Cassius and found that he was also staring intently at the marriage certificate. The corners of his lips had lifted into an imperceptible smile. In the past, I had found his ascetic demeanor utterly dull. Now, I found it incredibly charming.Just then, he tilted his face toward me. When our gazes met, I caught sight of the unconcealed joy in his eyes.He gently stroked my hair and said, "Would you like to go abroad with

I turned the call on speaker. Soon, Alder's voice came through, saying, "Willow, do you remember the Arcana collaboration you facilitated with us and the Wrights? Should we change the person in charge on the Wrights' end?"Miles looked up at me with fear, his eyes pleading as he begged, "Please… No. Stop."This very collaboration established the Wrights and the Moores as the cream of the crop in Dorei, laying a solid foundation for both families in terms of international influence. Miles had been the one responsible as a liaison for Wright Group in our past life.Thanks to this collaboration, he had secured his position as a contender for Wright Group's inheritance. However, why should I bother helping him in this life?I curled my lips into a smile before drawling, "Of course. I've gotten myself a new groom, haven't I? Naturally, it means that someone else should take the lead."After I hung up the call, I looked at Miles, who looked dejected, and said dispassionately, "Miles, I
