Chapter 90
Chapter 1
All because when my brother was sponsoring a scholarship student, he casually mentioned:
“What a coincidence–you and my sister were born on the exact same day, even the same time p>
The scholarship student immediately convinced herself she was the real heiress, swapped at birth.
She hired two thugs to kidnap me, planning to kill me and steal my identity.
In that desperate moment, I called my fiancé for help, but when he picked up, he snapped impatiently.
“Seraphina Cross, you stole Senna’s life. This is the price you pay p>
As they shoved me into the river, my fiancé’s uncle suddenly appeared, diving in to save me.
But he wasn’t strong enough, and we both sank to the bottom.
When I woke up, I was back on the day of the kidnapping.
This time, when the scholarship student smugly told me to make my final call, I didn’t hesitate–I called my brother.
“Seraphina Cross, you shameless bitch! You’ve stolen twenty years of my life, and today you’re gonna pay for it p>
Senna shot the thugs a look, and they immediately started tearing at my clothes.
Seeing my panic, Senna smiled with sick satisfaction and kicked a phone toward me.
“You’re not walking away from this alive, but hey – I’m feeling generous. One last call p>
I looked up to find Senna’s beautiful but venomous eyes boring into me. This content belongs to.net
I knew exactly what she wanted–for me to call Caspian Hartwell so he could humiliate me one last time before I died.
Just like in my previous life-
I never could’ve imagined that one offhand comment my brother made while sponsoring a scholarship student would lead to this insane misunderstanding.
I’d tried explaining, but Senna was dead set on believing she was the real Cross heiress.
Even my fiancé Caspian had bought into her bullshit.
If my brother knew how Caspian had treated me, he’d destroy them both without me lifting a finger.
So, this time, I called my brother without any hesitation.
But the second the call connected, I barely managed to shout, “Eastbridge Harbor, Raven’s Point–help me!” before Senna ripped the phone away and smashed it to pieces.
“You didn’t call Caspian p>
She stared at me in disbelief, then laughed coldly. “Even if you called your brother, he won’t save a fake like you p>
“Alright, enough. Move it along. The her up, dump her in the river, then clean up the scene. Make it look like suicide p>
I knew my brother would come as fast as possible, but I couldn’t help the panic rising in my chest. I had to buy time.
“Let me go! This is kidnapping–1 already called for help. If something happens to me, you’ll all go down. Aren’t you scared?” But the thugs couldn’t care less.
As we got closer to the river, I spotted a familiar figure in the distance.
He kicked one of the punks aside and pulled me protectively into his arms.

“Seraphina, I’m here. Don’t be afraid p>
Hearing Phoenix Hartwell’s voice made my eyes well up instantly.
He might be Caspian’s uncle, but he was only three years older than his nephew.
I’d always thought we barely knew each other, but in my past life, he’d protected me just like this.
When they pushed me into the river, he’d held me tight, desperately trying to save me.
Too bad neither of us made it out alive.
Since fate gave me a second chance, this time I’d be the one protecting you, Phoenix.
