I Died, I Married The Capital Godfather

Chapter 3

Jessica cut him off abruptly.

The horrific scenes from her past life kept flashing before her eyes, and her emotions began to spiral out of control.

In the next instant, Lila’s wailing grew louder. "Damien, Jessica doesn’t like me. I feel so bad. I don’t want to live anymore."

Damien’s expression tightened. When he looked at her again, his eyes held nothing but disgust.

"Jessica, when did you become so cold? Lila just wanted to play a game, and you’re driving her to the edge."

"I’m not—" She had barely started to explain when Damien gave a single look, and two bodyguards stepped forward at once, twisting her arms tightly behind her back.

Panic flashed across Jessica's face as she looked at Damien, only to hear him sigh.

"Jessica, you shouldn’t have made Lila cry." As the words left his mouth, he took Lila’s hand, adjusted the car seat, and climbed into the driver’s seat.

When she realized what he was going to do, her mind went completely blank. Jessica screamed at him, "Damien, you can’t do this to me!"

He once said he’d protect her. Why is it that in both lives, he's the one who hurts Jessica the most?

Damien held Lila in his lap. They exchanged a few words, and bright smiles spread across both their faces.

His eyes landed on Jessica, and for a split second, he looked away when he saw her tears. Then he pressed his foot on the gas, and the car charged straight toward her.

A dead calm settled in her chest. Jessica closed her eyes in despair.

The moment the bodyguards let go of her arms, she was sent flying through the air.

Her body crashed hard onto the lawn, and a wave of searing, all‑consuming pain washed over her.

Lila’s excited cheers rang in her ears.

When Damien saw the happy smile on Lila’s face, his eyes were filled with pure adoration.

This was the same man who used to turn red‑eyed when she got even the smallest scratch, now he couldn’t even spare her a single glance.

But the crushing impact she had feared never came.

She trembled with pain, yet at that moment, she laughed until tears streamed down her face, a bitter, heartbreaking sound.

When Damien noticed Jessica's strange reaction and started to walk toward her, Lila pulled him away.

Before leaving, he told the bodyguards, "Take her home. Get the best doctors to treat her. Make sure there’s not a single scar left."

She was taken back to the house. Damien didn’t come home that night.

He only sent her a text message.

Damien: The guys ran into some trouble. I have to handle it tonight.

But her phone also received messages from an unknown number, photos and videos involving him.

Every single one featured him and Lila together.

There he was, helping her bathe, blow‑drying her hair, even letting her rest her feet on his warm stomach, a place he had never allowed her to touch.

Her heart had long since turned numb, yet when she tapped to play one video and saw Lila clinging to him, begging to play a special intimate game in bed, she still froze in shock.

So even back when she had foolishly believed he still loved her, he had already been this close, sharing everything with the scholarship student she herself had helped support.

Soft, breathless sounds filled the clip, and Lila kept murmuring over and over, "Damien… Damien, this game feels so wonderful…" Her face flushed bright red as she leaned into him, clearly enjoying every gentle touch.

The sounds of their bodies moving together made Jessica’s stomach heave and twist in revulsion.

Just before the video cut off, Lila’s eyes lifted and met the camera lens directly. For one fleeting second, the fogginess vanished, revealing a sharp, fully conscious gleam, and suddenly a terrifying possibility dawned on Jessica.

She gripped her phone, so tightly her knuckles blanched, her whole body turning icy stiff.

That night she tossed and turned, trapped in nightmares, and only managed to drift off as dawn broke.

When she finally opened her eyes again, Lila was leaning over her, staring down with wide, seemingly innocent eyes.

Lila smiled sweetly and innocently. "Jessica, Damien and I played all sorts of fun games throughout the night, and it was amazing. Tomorrow I want you to join us too, okay?"

Jessica turned her head slightly away, and instantly a cold sweat broke out all over her skin.
