Revenge

My brother came back from his heir-training course convinced he was destined to marry an ultra-wealthy heiress. He took my car and tried to crash into the rear of Wendy Hewitt's vehicle. That girl was a top heiress in Greateast's elite circle, and my brother wanted to set up a chance encounter with her. I slammed on the brakes and told him the Hewitts were no fools. If my brother were to crash into that car, it would ruin our whole family's finances and then some. Wendy eventually held a grand wedding that shook the whole nation. My brother was consumed by jealousy. He insisted he would have been the groom if I had not stopped him that day. That resentment festered into hatred. In the end, my brother drove his car straight into me. I died. … When my eyes snapped open again, I found myself back in the passenger seat—back on the very day my brother tried to create that so-called chance encounter. A smug smile tugged at his lips as his eyes stayed fixed on the car ahead. "The moment Wendy sees me, I'll have her heart. And then I'll ditch this scrap metal." I didn't stop him this time. My brother stepped on the gas and crashed straight into the 50-million-dollar supercar.

Chapter 1 A Crash
The crash sent that supercar skidding ahead before slowing into a halt. The deafening bang caught the attention of many pedestrians. The supercar was a wreck. Its spoiler dropped with a sharp clang, and the rear chassis had caved in.Yves Shaw, my brother, could not care less. He quickly regained his bearing after that crash and looked into the rear-view mirror as he tidied himself up. He ruffled his bangs, then blinked hard until tears gathered at the rims of his eyes. His gaze carried just the right amount of hurt—painful enough to look convincing, but not so painful that it ruined the effect.If I had not known better, I might have thought he was the innocent victim, shaken by the accident. Then, his eyes shifted to me. My calm quiet surprised him, evidently.He had a couple of thick pillows set in front of him to soften the blow, and he sped up before I could react. If I had not grabbed on to the armrest, I'd have had my face slammed into the dashboard and bruised it.

Chapter 2 Snap
Wendy got into the Maybach that had come to pick her up, while a tow truck hauled the supercar away.My car's hood was twisted out of shape, and one of the headlights had been smashed. "I just got my car yesterday, and you totaled it! What will you do about it?"Yves ignored my question all the way. …The moment we hit home, he grabbed our mother's arm and complained that I was being pushy.My mother, Fiona Lawson, patted Yves lovingly and told me to handle the mess myself. "I can't believe you'd make Yves handle it. It's such a trivial matter. You're his brother, for God's sake."It was a few hours ago that Yves insisted on driving my car. He had no license and had failed his driving test five times. Worried about his safety, Fiona insisted that I followed Yves.Johnny West, my stepfather, came out of the kitchen with a fruit platter, but it only had three forks. The three of them happily ate the fruit, pretending I did not exist."Wendy kept staring at me the whole time. I

Chapter 3 The Text
The meeting was about Clearwater Resort Town, a project held with the Hewitts. The Hewitts were in charge of development, while Aphrodite was in charge of marketing.I got a job in Aphrodite five years ago, when they were recruiting at my campus. As one of the world's top marketing companies, Aphrodite was a demanding place to work, but the pay was excellent.I told the Shaws that I was a janitor at Aphrodite and got paid three thousand every month. Blinded by their prejudice, Johnny and Yves gobbled up the story right away.After the director was done with the progress report, they said solemnly, "The Hewitts' PIC is Wendy now, and it's her first project as their heiress." Then, the director added that Wendy was not satisfied with our current proposal. We had to prepare two more versions and hold another meeting in two weeks. Wendy would be joining the review in person."She's extremely particular about details, and our budget has been cut. By a lot. I need everyone to stay sh

Chapter 4 Calling for Help
Yves zoomed in on the bill. "What kind of repair costs that much?" He carefully counted the zeroes.Johnny refused to believe it too. He insisted the sender had to be a scammer, not Wendy.That car Yves crashed into was a Koenigsegg, and the chassis was fully handmade. There was only one of its kind in the entire country. Because it was so rare, most people would not even recognize it.Aphrodite had partnered up with Koenigsegg before, so I knew that car was 50 million. For a car like that, eight million in repair costs was not impossible. On top of that, transporting it back to Soland would not be cheap either.While they were struggling to grasp whether the bill was real, Wendy texted them again. 'Pay up as soon as you can.'That left no grounds for negotiation. Panic seeped into Yves, and all color drained from his face. "She should've asked me on a date, not money for repairs! Where do I even get eight million?" He looked to Fiona for help.Finally, Fiona remembered that

Chapter 5 Arrogant Yves
My presence surprised Yves, and he nearly fumbled. However, he sidled up to Wendy and whispered something into her ear like he was her boyfriend. Then, he extended his hand to me like he was better than me. "Hi, I'm Ms. Hewitt's secretary. Come to me if you have any questions."Wendy decided to go with the proposal I wrote. …After the meeting was over, she asked me to stay. She sized me up quietly as she sat across from me. "You didn't go to the hospital, did you?"It was apparent that Wendy had investigated Yves.Yves clenched his fists, his lips pursing into a thin line. Before I could answer, he said, "Felix's stomach got all better after you showed up, Ms. Hewitt. You must be blessed! Oh, and he's busy, so he didn't go."Wendy glanced at Yves through the corner of her eye and tapped her finger on the table. She took the meeting minutes from him and flipped through a few pages.There were a few lines on the first page, but otherwise, everything was blank.Garfield's co

Chapter 6 Slapped the Wrong Person
Networking events weren't new to me. Wine and dine, and all that. Still, this kind of event was a first for me. Wendy picked out a big room, about 800 square feet. When I entered, I saw wealthy business owners, all pudgy and greasy, sitting on their own sofas.On the table before them were alcohol and imported food. In the center of the room was a stage lit by LED lights as a famous singer sang onstage.Rows of beautiful people came in, serving the business owners. Yves was sitting with Wendy, rolling his eyes at the guys who tried to approach her.Fortunately, Wendy had no interest in those people. I quietly took a seat in the corner and watched the event unfold while I kept my silence.The people only cared about indulgence, and not a word was said about the project. If no merchants were to set up shop in the resort town after it was built, the service part would take a great hit.Clearwater Resort Town was set in a slightly remote area. Only big names had the backing to set u

Chapter 7 Wendy's Past
Wendy grabbed Yves and left the room. I had no idea what kind of agreement they'd struck there, but Yves's shoulders were hunched when he returned. His face was also pale due to fear and hopelessness.Ms. Wollock had unbuttoned her trench coat and was lying on the sofa. The sight of her froze Yves up like a statue. His usually bright, glimmering face was filled with the stiff look of someone who was petrified with fear.He turned his head away, as if that would give him an exit, but then he saw me. Yves came running up to me and grabbed my hand. "Felix, you have to help me! I don't want to stay with that pig! Please, help me clear my debt! You have the money!" His hands were tightly gripping mine, and they felt cold as ice, as a corpse.Poor Yves thought this was about money. Anything that could be solved with money was barely a blip in Wendy's eyes. If she could convince the business owners to invest, Wendy would make Yves sleep with these women even without the debt.Yves' fa

Chapter 8 Her Scar
The driver behind us honked at us when the light turned green. Wendy put her hands on the steering wheel and stepped on the gas. "Those girls are still keeping an eye on me, waiting for me to fail. Clearwater has to be a roaring success."Her voice was filled with the strength of someone who would keep going on without hesitation.When we got to my place, Wendy stuck her head out the window and checked the neighborhood's name. As she left, I noticed the smidgen of something lingering in her eyes. She wanted to say something, but my smile silenced her.That night, Fiona bombarded my phone with demands for money. "Yves is in a coma! He's in the hospital! And the bill's impossible!"I promptly blocked her number. …The next morning, I saw Fiona and Johnny standing outside the company long before I was by the entrance. Judging by how they were swiveling their heads and craning their necks, they were looking for me.It was peak hour, so there were always people going about at the

Chapter 9 The Wedding
I quietly stepped away from her to maintain some distance between us. "I have plans of my own, Ms. Hewitt, and being a kept man isn't part of it."Wendy kept stacking the deck, heaping promise after promise upon me. She thought I would waver, but I stopped her before she could cross the line and added, "Would you want your sister to live her whole life as a mistress if she were still alive?"That brought Wendy up short as her hand fell on her scar.…I passed by the hospital on my way back. Yves texted me, "Come over. We need to talk. This is important."I ran into the nurses who were done changing his dressing before I went in. They were whispering, claiming that the patient in bed 24 was kinky but couldn't even afford to pay the bills.I went around them and stood before bed 24. Yves was watching the news while playing with his hair. The sight of me filled him with gleeful satisfaction. "Wendy's marrying Brandon. How do you feel? The charm of an independent man, indeed. A

Chapter 10 Their Ends
Some said Yves was beating a dead horse, given that Molly's husband was standing right there. Some said that Yves' reputation had long been destroyed, so one with any fame or fortune would give him a moment of their day, let alone Molly.Yves lay down on the ground and chortled, but his laughter turned into sobs. His tears caked his face with black eyeliner. None helped him up, and none comforted him.When he was done crying, he staggered to his feet and played a voice recording. It was what happened that day. The air was filled with Molly screaming words of filth as she humiliated and flogged Yves. Everyone could hear Yves' cries and pleas for mercy between her insults.Just then, Wendy's voice rang out, asking if Molly had had enough fun. She then told her men to haul the unconscious Yves away.That blew up the scene and sent a tsunami roaring across the event. The Hewitts and the Boltings tried to cover it up the best they could, but the cat was already out of the bag, and it
