"Casper, did you just hit me? I'm your fiancée, and you slappedover your ex-wife?" Susan's voice trembled as she cupped her flushed cheek, eyes brimming with tears and lashes quivering. "Casper, you and she should be the ones apologizing." Casper's gaze was icy, and his tone left no room for argument. "Apologize. Now." Susan was genuinely afraid of Casper, especially when his face turned dark and he exuded a chilling aura. He was like a predator, ready to tear her apart without a second thought.
Ronan had warned her. Casper was known for his ruthlessness. To handle him, you had to approach gently, never confront head-on. For the sake of the Torres family and her future with Casper, she swallowed her pride.

Casper wasn't having it. His gaze grew colder. "Don't makesay it a third time." A shiver ran down Susan's spine. She knew angering Casper would lead to no good. She clenched her teeth, pushing down her resentment. "Fine. I'm sorry." Eliza didn't want just an apology. But she knew a simple "sorry" wouldn't fix things.
Forget it, she thought. I'll consider myself unlucky. "I'm leaving." Eliza decided to head to a nearby mall to buy a new outfit. Casper quickly followed, grabbing her wrist. "Wait, don't go. I'll take you to buy sclothes." "No need. You should stay with your fiancée. We don't need her misunderstanding us and causing more . I don't have the energy for that." Eliza shook off his hand and hailed a cab.
Susan ran out, her voice filled with remorse as she clung to Casper's arm. "I'm sorry, okay? Don't be mad I was just blinded by jealousy. You slapping me, I won't hold it against you. Can we move past this, please?".
"Let go," he said coldly, without a trace of warmth.
Susan shivered at his icy tone and quickly let go. Her eyes were slightly red, her voice tinged with sorrow. "It's because I like you so much that I get jealous. How was I supposed to know if you agreed to our engagement because I look like her?" OV Susan did indeed resemble Eliza. But beyond looks, they were nothing alike. How could she be a substitute? "Susan, I agreed to our engagement because your father offered what I wanted. If it wasn't for that port deal, we wouldn't be here." The truth hurts. Even if he had said he got engaged to her because she looked like Eliza, it wouldn't have stung as much.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSusan's eyes filled with heartbreak. "Why do you have to be so blunt? Is there really nothing you feel forbeyond the deal?" Casper gave her a cold, indifferent glance. From his angle, her
downturned profile was almost identical to Eliza's. The 5. The barsh words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back. He couldn't bring Leli himself to be cruel to such a similar face.
Without another word, he turned and walked away.
Just as Susan moved to follow, a dark-colored car pulled up beside her, stopping. The window slowly rolled down, revealing a stranger's face. His gaze was sharp, like a hawk's.
"Ms. Susan, would you like to share your thoughts with me?" His voice was low and maghetic, sunglasses hiding most of his face, leaving only a sharply defined jaw visible.
