Burned by Love, Destroyed by Revenge Chapter 1

I had been in secret relationship with my brother for six years.

On the day before Valentine's Day, I secretly went to his company to find him and give him a surprise.

But outside the door, I accidentally heard him talking to his friends.

"Your little sister, haven't you had enough fun yet? Aren't you planning to break up with her? You're not falling in love with her, are you?"

Gustav McNamara said nonchalantly with a teasing look on his lips.

"Falling in love with her? She's just a toy delivered to my door for free, so don't mind her. My wife will only be Jennifer."

"Her mother interfered in my parents' marriage for six years. This is just my punishment for her. This is what she deserves."

It turned out what I thought was love was just revenge.

His care and affection were a deliberate woven lie.

In that case, I would just leave.

——

"Don't worry about me. Just prepare for my wedding with Jennifer. As for Quinna ... I have plenty of ways to take revenge on her."

"Tell me, she fell in love with her stepbrother, climbed into his bed and seduced him every night and soon, she'll be exposed for such a shameless scandal at the wedding. Will she still have the face to live in the McNamaras in the future? I really can't wait."

The friend on the other end looked reluctant and kindly advised.

"Quinna's mother came into your family three years after your parents divorced. You can't blame Quinna for this, right? She was just in college at the time and didn't know your family situation at all. Aren't you being too cruel to her?"

"The most important thing for a girl is her reputation. You're using her life as revenge! She likes you so much, if she knew you were only with her for revenge, I'm afraid ...."

Gustav curled his lips impatiently, took out his phone and casually replied to me with an emoticon.

"What I want is her life!"

"Don't tell me she's innocent. Wasn't my mom innocent when she was abandoned?"

"Born from that woman's belly, it's her bad luck that she chose to be so lowly!"

"If she's really noble, she wouldn't have agreed to be with me six years ago. It's her own choice to get to this point today. She's not wronged."

The other person sighed and finally asked, "That's what you said, but I don't believe you haven't been moved in these six years?"

"Gustav, I kindly remind you that once you do something, you can never go back."

Gustav's face turned cold and he glared at his friend fiercely.

"Falling in love with the daughter of my enemy? Who do you think I am?"

"Looking at her face that looks so much like her mother's, I feel disgusted when I kiss her!"

"She's a shameless bitch who's born from a bitch too. I've already done my best to make her infamous!"

Seeing his friend couldn't persuade him, he had no choice but to leave.

The sound of footsteps approaching.

I tried to leave in a hurry, but the blue roses in my hand fell all over the floor.

The other person and I hurriedly took a look at each other, his eyes full of sympathy.

Gustav heard the voice and immediately came out.

What he saw was me picking flowers in a miserable state.

His expression looked panic and flustered for a moment and he quickly helped me up.

"Quinna? Why are you here? When did you get here?"

I smiled, but tears fell unconsciously.

"I just arrived. I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect my hands were too clumsy to even hold the flowers."

He smiled indulgently and threw the flowers down casually.

Took me into the office.

The moment he closed the door, he pressed my body against the door and the scorching heat came through my clothes.

I felt a chill all over my body.

"I said, no need to give me gifts, your presence is already the best gift for me."

"You're tired on your way here, right? Take a rest and wait for me here! I'll take you home when I'm done."
