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."

After saying that, he gently kissed my forehead.

The movements were as gentle and affectionate as before.

But I could no longer feel his warmth.

It turned out that a person could really act out to this extent for revenge.

When my mother got married for the second time into the McNamara Family, I couldn't lift my head under the stigma of being the daughter of a mistress at the wedding.

Hid in the corner and cried loudly.

It was Gustav's appearance that gave me the only salvation.

He solved the rumors and gossip outside for me.

He said he would protect me for the rest of my life and be my support.

I believed his words.

I was addicted to the tenderness he gave me and couldn't extricate myself.

Little did I know that everything was part of his premeditated revenge.

The so-called love was all illusion.

He was the one who tried to push me into the abyss.

While Gustav was working, I sent a message to my mother.

[Mom, I want to study abroad.]

[Don't tell our family about this yet.]

On the way back, he pretended to speak casually.

"Dad is urging me to get married and I've already found a friend to help me act."

“Don't worry, you're always the only one I love. She promised to keep it a secret for me. I'll stay at home with you in the future."

I looked at the scenery outside the window and nodded silently.

Tears fell silently.

Soon, we got home. I immediately unlocked his phone while he was washing up.

The number which had been pinned on his chat was Jennifer Winston.

As soon as I clicked into his chat box with her, besides the cute emojis, it was filled with surveillance videos from my bedroom.

Their conversation was even more heart-wrenching.

[I said, I only have revenge on her, these videos, I'll release them at the wedding and after that day, Quinna will be completely expelled from the McNamaras. The only one who will stay by my side will be you.]

[Before you come into my family, I will clear all obstacles for you and only happiness will greet you in the future.]

[I love you, Jennifer.]

I raised my eyes to the doll he gave me six years ago.

In the dim light.

The doll's eyes flashed a strange red light.

It turned out that he had been planning how to remove me as an obstacle from the very beginning.

It was ridiculous that I was still indulging in his hypocritical lies.

I considered myself happy.

I clicked into Gustav's private photo album.

All that caught my eye were pictures of him and Jennifer together.

The two of them had been together since college.

The photos recorded their past love.

On every important holiday, he used the excuse of being busy with work.

In fact, he had been by Jennifer's side.

Every gift given to me, Jennifer had it.

But every gift given to Jennifer, I didn't have it.

The second chat box was a record of conversations with the wedding company.

Gustav started preparing for the wedding six months ago.

From the wedding venue to the dishes.

He did everything himself.

Even the surveillance videos were made by him himself.

Just to completely expose the emotion that shouldn't exist at the wedding.

Just a moment before Gustav entered the door.

I turned off my phone.

I bought myself a plane ticket to go abroad in three days.

At the dinner table, Thomas McNamara mentioned his son's marriage from time to time.

Gustav pretended tirelessly.

Agreed casually.

The wedding set in three days.

The cutlery in my hand lost control and fell.

The meal was tasteless.

After dinner, my mother called me into the room with a worried expression on her face.

"Why are you suddenly going abroad? Didn't you insist on joining the company with your brother? Have you told him about going abroad?"

Looking at my mother's half-white hair, my nose felt sore.

"No, I hope you can help me keep it a secret from him."

"Mom, when I leave, you stay with Mr. Thomas and don't care what outsiders say."

I knew it was not easy for my mother to make up her mind to get married.

No matter what Gustav thought, my mother had never interfered in other people's relationships.

Being infamous should not be her fate.

When I returned to the bedroom, Gustav was already waiting on the bed.

Seeing me come in, he hurriedly pulled me into his arms.

His lips kept rubbing against the tip of my ear.

"Are you angry? You know, we can't make our relationship public. I'll arrange the wedding just as a cover up, just an act. So, don't think too much about it."

"Don't worry, Quinna, you are the only one in my heart. Don't get angry, okay? I've bought you a gift and I'll send it to you tomorrow. I'm sure you will like it."

I suppressed my grievances and nodded with a smile.

He didn't think much about it, breathed a sigh of relief and hugged me back.

After a moment of hesitation, he spoke up.

"It's just that the McNamaras' wedding can't be arranged casually and you, as my sister, may ...."

"Okay, I'll go."

I knew what he wanted to say.

Instead of being passive, it was better to take the initiative to bring it up.

At least leave a decent impression.

He was surprised by the change in my attitude.

But since his goal had been achieved, he was too lazy to delve deeper into it.

That night, he still slept in my bedroom.

The next morning, he slipped out of the room before anyone at home woke up.

As soon as he left, I followed him out.

Applied for a visa and submitted an application for studying abroad.

But I never expected to meet Jennifer there.

Gustav stood behind her, his eyes full of indulgence as he looked at her.

From time to time, I heard the discussion of employees around me.

"Is that Mr. McNamara's fiancée? She's so charming, isn't she? If I'm not mistaken, that bag she's wearing is a limited-edition Hermès product. You can't buy it even if you have money!"

"Of course they are. I heard that they have been in love since college and have been together ever since. They even bought a small island abroad for their honeymoon. I guess they are here to apply for a visa for a world tour, right?"

"What kind of novel plot is this? I'm so envious. If my boyfriend could be half as good as Mr. Gu, my life would be worth it ...."

While I was stunned, the employee who handled the formalities for me called.

"Ms. McNamara? Ms. McNamara? Your formalities have been completed."

Her calls caught Gustav's attention.

The moment I put the things into my bag, he appeared in front of me.

His expression carried a hint of imperceptible panic.

"Quinna? Why are you here?"

Jennifer also came from behind and took his arm affectionately.

"You're Gustav's sister, right? Hello."

"We will be a family soon, let's get to know each other in advance."

His eyes swept over the place where the two of them were in intimate contact.

I nodded with a smile.

"Hi."

"It's okay. I came here to get a visa for my mom. She has always wanted to travel abroad."

"You guys are busy, I won't bother you anymore."

I turned around and tried to leave.

However, he caught up with me and grabbed my arm.

He explained anxiously.

"Don't overthink it. It was Dad's idea to ask me to come here today. You know he values ​​the wedding, so he insisted that I take her on the trip."

"I have to let you know in advance that Jennifer will have dinner at home tonight. So, you don't misunderstand me."

Watching him worry about me, I suddenly felt like laughing.

To tell you the truth, Jennifer was his girlfriend whom he had been in love with for several years.

Now, his wedding was approaching and the drama of his revenge was coming to an end.
