My Heart No Longer Beats for You Chapter 10
Sienna took a deep breath and told me a secret I never knew.
“I’ve always thought that I was one of the people responsible for your death.

“If I had been brave enough to tell you that Daisy was the one who paid your hostel mate to frame you for plagiarism…
“What would have happened if you knew that I was the one who spent sleepless nights gathering evidence to prove your
innocence…
“Would you have seen through her deceit? Would your life be different?
“But Daisy said you were in love with her. She even showed me clips of you two together and promised that she will treat you well for the rest of your life.
“I believed her. I thought she was just being extreme with her tactics because she wanted you and would cherish you once she had you.
“That’s why I chose to stay away.”
Sienna started sobbing badly at this point.
My mind went blank. Tears filled my eyes.
I had no idea that the reason I accepted Daisy was something she stole from Sienna.
My heart was a mess when I saw Sienna sobbing away.
She cried like a child. She choked back a sob and said, “You should hit me. I was the cause of your death…”
I removed my seat belt in exasperation and leaned over to hug her. I said softly, “Why are you so silly?
“Do you have any idea that if it wasn’t for what had happened, all you had to do was wait…
“I might have taken the courage to take a step forward to accept you…”
Sienna’s body stiffened. She asked with a trembling voice, “Is that true? Were you… Interested in me back then?”
My eyes turned red. I wanted to curse at myself at the thought of how my years of suffering started with mistaking my
benefactor for someone else.
Why did I not figure this out sooner? Daisy was a headstrong woman who was selfish and had a bad temper. How could she spend sleepless nights over my problem?
Sienna hugged me tight. She sobbed sorrowfully.
I was feeling sad as well, but when I heard her crying, I could not help laughing.
That was when I released her from my arms. I wiped away her tears while saying, “Don’t cry. We missed out on each other in our past life, but we still have this life, don’t we?”
Sienna cried and laughed at the same time. She nodded vigorously.
That night, we took the Chapmans’ private jet to Varelia.
When the next day came, the media from all over the country shared clips of how Daisy was kneeling by the river and crying madly over my apparent suicide.
The website with the highest views found the full video of our wedding day.
Corey’s taunting messages to me were also exposed.
He and Daisy were supposed to be the perfect couple but were now ostracized by all.
Even though the scandal was not enough to shake their company’s foundations, it was enough for them to become the laughingstock of their circle.
Daisy went crazy trying to find me. She was not convinced that I was dead.
She wanted to get Sam and force the truth out of him.
However, Sam had been adopted by a pair of high-society couple overseas.
Moreover, Daisy’s father and Sienna had worked together to cover up my tracks.
Half a year later, Daisy finally accepted the fact that I was gone. She started to pray religiously to atone for her sins.
She made Corey kneel to repent for what he did to me.
Corey refused and Sienna sent some men to force him into it. He struggled to escape and accidentally fell down a row of stairs. He hit the back of his head in the fall.
He was taken to the emergency room right away but died a few days later.
Corey was the heart and soul of his mother. After he died, she wanted justice for him.
However, Corey’s father accepted compensation from the Trumans for the sake of his company’s profit and came to a settlement with them. He later brought his illegitimate son home.
Corey’s mother could no longer take it, and she stabbed Corey’s father and Daisy in a corporate event.
I heard that Daisy had a plane ticket to Varelia in her hand when she died.
She had found out where I was in the end. Unfortunately, she could never see me again.
It was late at night, and I had just completed my homework. I walked out of the room and heard Sam and Sienna laughing
downstairs.
When I got downstairs, Sam pointed proudly at the Lego castle he built. “Happy birthday, Uncle Eric!”
Sienna said in mock anger, “You’re a sneaky one, aren’t you? Didn’t we agree that I would be the first one to greet him happy birthday?”
Sam laughed and said, “Don’t be mad. You have another present prepared, anyway.”
Sienna quickly put her finger on her lips to shush him.
I looked at her curiously. Sienna came over to me and suddenly knelt on one knee. She took out a box and opened it.
There was a ring inside.
She said, “Happy birthday. Would you be willing to… Marry me?”
I laughed and took out another brocade box from behind me. I opened it. There was a diamond ring inside.
Sienna was surprised. I quickly got on one knee and said with a smile, “The man should be the one proposing.
“Miss Sienna Chapman, are you willing to take me as your husband?”
Sienna cried and jumped into my arms. She nodded vigorously. “Of course, I do!”
I hugged her tightly in my arms. The glass reflected the warm scene of us hugging and laughing.
This lifetime, I would live a happy life.
