Chapter 7

Author: Hammer Titan
Amara rolled her eyes with exasperation. I turned around just in time to see an excited Miles rushing toward me.

It had been a few days since I last saw him. Yet, it seemed as though he had lost some weight. Not only did he look unkempt, but he also radiated an aura of dejection.

Meanwhile, Faith was dressed impeccably. However, her face fell when she caught sight of us.

I raised my hand, silently signaling for Miles to keep his distance.

He gave me a bitter smile and said, "You've been avoiding me lately. I thought you were still upset with me. I didn't expect to see you buying a gift for me."

I exchanged a look with Amara, both of us noticing the disbelief in each other's eyes. Amara immediately mocked, "And who told you that this watch is for you?"

Miles confidently replied, "Stop pretending. I heard you earlier. You said it was a wedding gift for your husband. Who else could it be?"

It was so ridiculous that I felt my lips turn up into an incredulous smile.

Then, I answe

    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

    Miles clutched his head, acting as if he had recalled something painful. Then, he turned to look at me with guilt and sorrow in his eyes.I slowly stroked my abdomen as a smile played on my lips. However, my eyes shone with nothing but hatred. I drawled, "Miles, she had never planned on leaving the country. It was just a means to manipulate you. However, she didn't expect her supposed flight to come crashing down. "She wanted to seek you out, but she found out that you didn't even care that she had died. So, she continued to lay low. "She didn't know just what you've done for her. You turned yourself into a devoted disciple for her. You tormented and humiliated me for her. You… killed our child for her."He staggered away from me as the color drained from his face. He fell to his knees and shook like a leaf, asking tremulously, "You… You're reborn as well?"I nodded as my lips curled into a blissful smile. "That's right. I've gotten a second chance, too. So, do you think I wou

    "Willow, I'm going to give Faith a call. Then, we can proceed with the wedding, okay?" said a familiar voice. That voice jolted me out of the horror of my tragic death, and I soon found myself reborn on my wedding day.I turned to look at Miles Wright, who was impeccably dressed, and asked in a rather uncertain tone, "What did you just say?"Miles frowned slightly as his eyes landed on me. I hadn't even said anything untoward when he began to reprimand me lowly."Stop being so jealous! Faith missed her SATs to save my mom. I promised to marry her, but I broke that promise just to be with you. "Now that she's leaving, I just want to call her to say goodbye. Can't you respect that?"My heart sank upon hearing his words.He had always sided with Faith in my last life. He would constantly use this same excuse while doing so. At the time, I understood that a life debt was a huge deal, and that was why I never fussed about it.However, that didn't mean he was going to shackle me down

    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

    Cassius' arrival attracted everyone's attention. He swept his gaze across the scene with disdain, completely disregarding Miles and Faith, who were both on their knees. Instead, he simply knelt on one knee, took out a ring, and asked me whether I would be willing to marry him."I heard that someone was being bullied. Have you considered changing grooms?"I felt tears roll down my cheeks as I looked straight into his eyes. Those eyes were looking at me in barely concealed anticipation. I had done so many foolish things in an effort to break off our engagement in my previous life, hurting him terribly. So, I always thought that he hated me until I saw him rushing back from abroad overnight when the news of my death reached him. I saw how he collapsed over my coffin during my funeral, sobbing uncontrollably. Finally, I saw him doing everything in his power to eliminate Miles and dying because of it. That was when I realized how deeply he loved me.Therefore, I was determined to hol

    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

    Miles' face turned dark when he heard that Cassius had called the cops. He frowned and said, "Cassius, you can't call the cops. Willow hired these thugs to hurt Faith. If you do this, Willow's reputation will be ruined."Faith avoided my gaze out of guilt before rushing over to cling to Miles' arms. Then, she whined piteously, "Miles, I don't want to go to the police station. "I have no power or influence. What if they bribe those cops to punish me and distort the facts while they're at it?"Alder sneered. "I think you're the one who's feeling guilty. Willow would never resort to such despicable means to ruin you, no matter how much she dislikes you. "We'll know just who has hired these thugs once the police run an investigation. This isn't something you can gloss over with just a few pretty words."Faith's eyes turned red-rimmed upon hearing this. She didn't bother denying Alder's words. Instead, she cried in seeming resignation and said, "What am I supposed to do now that yo

    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
