Reborn, I Let His Childhood Sweetheart Pay for Her Crimes
On a flight, my boyfriend Cassio tried to steal a seat for his pregnant childhood sweetheart.
Last time, I stopped him. I forced him to return the seat to its rightful owner.
Out of spite, his sweetheart Ella refused to take the seat.
She stood through the entire flight.
By the time we landed, she miscarried.
She bled out and died.
Cassio never blamed me.
He arranged her funeral quietly…
Then married me.
He gave me the best prenatal care, the finest doctors, and a seemingly perfect life.
Until the day I went into labor.
He put me on a long-haul flight with multiple layovers.
And when I collapsed in a filthy airport restroom, bleeding and barely conscious—
He looked down at me with pure hatred.
“Serena, this is what you owe her.”
“If you hadn’t interfered back then, Ella would still be alive.”
“Today, you and your bastard child will pay for her and her baby.”
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on that flight.
Watching him berate the plainly dressed woman, I quietly put on my noise-canceling headphones.
He didn’t know that woman was the beloved wife of the most dangerous mafia Don in the city.
And the kick he was about to deliver—
Would be their death sentence.
This time, I just watched.
