The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

No matter how many delicacies were at hand, what did it matter?

If that boy were still here, he would have surely found joy in more than just cotton candy and jelly beans. Those were mere memories, after all.

This reminiscence was only for the father who lost his beloved son. The memories were the only things that could keep him alive.

If only Serana’s parents hadn’t been so blinded by greed, hadn’t coveted that heart, his child would be alive, they would be alive, and Serana would have surely found a match by now. After all these years, without a heart transplant, wasn’t she still living well?

I bet they’re both watching, waiting for me to join them. If it weren’t for you, they wouldn’t have waited in vain for so many years.”

“I can’t condone revenge that demands a life for a life. Even if you killed Serana, your wife and son won’t come back to life, and you’ll ruin your own life. Do you really think they’d want that for you?”

“Shut up! Don’t preach to me with your morals!” Johnson struggled to his feet, his eyes bloodshot from crying, looking as ravenous as a fiend.

Yasmine stepped back instinctively as he glared at her with fury.

“Everyone knows these high and mighty morals, and so do I. But…” He paused, his eyes trembling with rage as he pointed to his son’s gravestone and spited out, “Have you ever lost a son? Have you had your son taken from you?”
