Mending a Broken Love (Sebastian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 43

After dinner, Roxanne returned to her room. She went straight to the bathroom and slipped off her silk nightgown. The moment she caught sight of herself in the mirror, she found her flawless fair skin covered in glaring marks, and she couldn't help cursing Sebastian deep down.

And to think she had once believed he was a gentleman.

It turned out that he was nothing but a…

She was pissed off.

She grabbed her phone and snapped a clear photo of the marks on her neck. Then, she rummaged through her closet and pulled out a lingerie set she had bought a while back. It was black with a lace trim—delicate yet seductive.

She had once tried everything to tempt Sebastian. Back then, he had been so damn composed. She had worn revealing outfits and draped herself across his lap, teasing him with every sultry move…

Any man would've caved.

But of course, no man could resist a phone call coming from their first love.

Just as things were heating up—just as they were about to cross the line—Sebastian had dropped everything and left the moment Liana called. That night had shattered her confidence and self-worth. She had stuffed this lingerie set into the back of her drawer, swearing never to take it out again.

But now, it had a purpose.

She found the best angle and took a photo of it. Then, she opened her chat with Sebastian.

"I feel like having seafood tonight. Let's go to Eighth Court."

This time, he responded almost instantly. "Okay. I'll have someone make a reservation."

She scoffed, thinking that he was a bastard. Back when she worshiped him, cherished him, and sent him messages with all her heart, he never replied. She used to send ten texts, and he'd grace her with one-word responses—if she was lucky.

Now? Instant replies.

"Send someone to pick me up. I have a surprise for you."

"I'll come get you myself."

Perfect. That was enough.

She took screenshots of their conversation, the photos of the marks on her collarbone, and the lingerie. Then, she added a playful emoji.

"Surprise is ready. My dear, you're going to love it, right? Hahaha…"

With the caption done, she posted it. But she had made it only visible to Liana.

Satisfied, she put her phone down. Now, all she had to do was wait for Liana to lose it. Sure enough, when Liana saw her post, her delicate features darkened instantly.

The porcelain vase beside her crashed to the floor, shattering into pieces.

"Roxanne, you bitch! Bitch! Bitch! Bitch!"

Everyone knew something had happened between them when Roxanne drugged Sebastian. Liana had been seething with jealousy ever since.

Seeing Roxanne flaunting it so openly now made her lose control completely.

She could only imagine how wild Sebastian had been after seeing the marks on Roxanne's fair skin. The mere thought of them together, tangled up, sent her spiraling into rage and madness.

A surprise?

Roxanne wanted to give Sebastian a surprise.

Fine!

She would ruin things.

She would let Roxanne believe she had won only to watch her come crashing down, utterly destroyed.
