Everyone Chose Her, so I Chose Revenge Chapter 9
The next morning, a janitor found Connor's body on the pavement below. That was the end of the Burke family line.Miles became an orphan. None of the relatives was willing to take him in, so he was sent to a group home.Without parents to protect him, a child in a place like that never stood much of a chance. The older kids stole his food, made him wash everyone's socks, and beat him whenever he refused.Miles spent most of his time curled up alone in a corner, hugging his knees, crying out for someone who would never answer."Mom, Dad, I'm sorry. Please come back."But no one ever came.In his corner of the group home, he clung to the old phone I had left behind. There was only one recording on it. "Miles, I love you so much. But I'm just so tired. Forgive me for not being able to stay with you anymore."…I woke up in a hospital bed as memories of the modern world flooded back in a rush. Tears rolled down my face, but I was smiling.The system said, "Carly, Grant took his

From dawn to sunset, Grant climbed. The fabric over his knees had long since shredded through and blood soaked what was left of his pants, but he didn't seem to feel any of it, just kept dragging himself up one step at a time.He finally reached the church's main hall when the moon was high overhead. The priest was an elderly man with a full head of white hair, and he let out a sigh when he saw the wrecked state Grant was in."Child, why put yourself through this?"Grant crawled toward him and grabbed hold of his robes. "Father, please… Please help me find my wife. I know what I did was wrong. I'll pay any price, anything, as long as she can come back."The priest shook his head slowly, as though he were looking through Grant at something beyond him. "Your wife has no ties left to this world, child. She left with absolute certainty, and her spirit departed long ago. There is nothing I can do."Grant went rigid, then crumpled to the floor, mumbling to himself. "That's impossible.

Aria froze the moment she heard Grant's voice."I… I didn't say anything.""I heard everything!" Grant roared and slapped her hard across the face. The force sent Aria sprawling to the floor, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.He stood over her, his eyes burning with hatred. "You've been faking your amnesia this whole time? This was all part of your plan?"Connor grabbed her by the throat. "That car accident was you. You did it on purpose."Aria's breathing turned ragged, her chest heaving as she clawed at his hands. "I didn't… I never said that."Connor's eyes went red as he thought about the past year, how easily they'd all forgiven Aria because of her amnesia. They'd forced me to clear Aria's name at our parents' memorial, used the graves as a threat, and all of it drove me to my death right in front of them."It was you. It was all you, you worthless piece of trash!"He kicked Aria in the stomach. She crumpled to the floor, curling into a ball, sobbing and begg

So when Aria had climbed into his bed, Grant hadn't stopped her. He'd figured that if I needed an Affection score of 100 to complete my mission, then he simply wouldn't let me reach it.The first time, I hadn't noticed. The second time, I hadn't noticed either. Eventually, it had become routine. He'd told himself that since I'd only gotten close to him for the sake of some so-called mission, it hadn't been wrong for him to cheat. That was how he'd justified it.Aria had kept inviting him out, and Grant had kept making the same excuse every time. "Carly, I have to stay late at the office tonight. Don't wait up."I had just given birth, and all my attention had been on our son, Miles. I'd never noticed anything off about him.When exactly things had shifted, Grant couldn't say for certain. Maybe it had been every time I focused on Miles instead of him. Gradually, he'd let himself sink deeper into Aria's warmth and attention.How did it end up like this? Grant wondered.A gust of

The dinner knife plunged straight into my chest. I hadn't held back at all.It hurt, a hundred times worse than the electroshock that forced the words "I was wrong" out of my mouth. But all I felt was relief.My body crumpled to the ground, blood spilling from the corner of my mouth.Grant didn't react right away. He stood frozen for two full seconds before it hit him, and then he rushed forward and dropped to his knees beside me, pulling me into his arms.He pressed his hand against the wound, his fingers shaking, his voice breaking. "You're insane! You've completely lost it!""Grant.""Don't talk! Don't say anything!""Did you… ever… really love me?"He froze. Tears fell from his eyes and landed on my face. "Yes… yes, I did… Carly, stop talking… Just wait for the ambulance… You can't die."Connor looked like his brain had shut down. It took him a long moment before he staggered over and sank to his knees beside me. "C-Carly, why do you always have to be so stubborn?"I smil

I stared at him in disbelief. "Grant, what are you saying?""You won't write it, I'll have your parents' graves dug up," he said, like it was the most casual thing in the world.I turned to Connor. "Connor, those are your parents too. You let the person who killed them walk free, and now someone's threatening to desecrate their graves and you're just going to stand there and watch?"I was practically screaming, my voice raw and shredded.Connor wouldn't meet my eyes. He stared at the table. "Mom and Dad wouldn't blame me. They'd blame you for being the reason they can't even rest in peace."There was a time when he would've thrown himself at anyone who hurt me, fists swinging, telling me not to be scared because he was there. Now he was willing to use our parents' graves as leverage to protect the woman who killed them.Aria spoke up, her voice trembling as tears filled her eyes. "Carly, don't blame them. This is all my fault."They wanted a statement? Fine.I lowered my head,
