My brother-in-law, Benjamin Fallow, got trapped in a deep pit, so I grabbed some ropes and risked my life to climb down and pull him out. Just after I tied the rope around his waist, the line went slack and we both came crashing down. When I looked up, I couldn't believe my eyes. My wife, Celeste Fallow, had cut the rope. Meanwhile, her childhood friend, Vincent Jameson, grinned and egged her on. "Do it." Black-clad bodyguards started shoveling sand into the hole, trying to bury us alive. I grabbed the walkie-talkie and screamed up at her, "Celeste, your brother and I are still down here!" She sneered back. "Three years ago, during the quake, you left Vincent's brother trapped under the rubble for five days while you saved others. Now it's time to pay what you owe." Vincent shed crocodile tears and crowed, "Celeste, thanks to you, my brother's revenge is finally complete." With the sand already up to our ankles, I shouted at the top of my lungs, "Celeste Fallow, your brother is really down here with me!"

Misguided Vengeance Chapter 8
Before we left, Rory told me what Vincent had confessed.It turned out that he was in love with Celeste since childhood, but he was even more in love with the Fallow family's fortune.He knew Rory was sharp, so he went after Celeste instead.The first step was to get rid of me.At the company, he used his position to whisper poison into Celeste's ear every day, and that fool actually believed I was the kind of man who would stand by and watch someone die."Only if you're dead can he marry Celeste," Rory said. I nodded slightly, feeling a pang of pity for Benjamin. He suffered a pointless death because of such a snake.The moment I reached the door, I heard chaos inside."Celeste, you coward! You did it, but you don't dare to admit it, huh? Benjamin's death has nothing to do with me!""If you hadn't egged me on, I never would've gone after Finnegan! I never would've... I never would've killed my own brother by mistake!"Their voices grew louder, raw with rage.Then came a cr
Misguided Vengeance Chapter 7
Vincent was left speechless under Rory's barrage. He had not expected her to dig up all his dirt.The SUVs peeled away one by one.I lay on a stretcher in the ambulance, my mind replaying Benjamin's last look on an endless loop. The moment the blades came at us, a part of me had already died.Benjamin died in my arms. After that, there was not much on Earth worth sticking around for.I figured maybe I could just let go and fall into an eternal slumber that I would never wake from.Then, I heard his voice, soft and clear in my head.'Live on for my share.'I shot awake and gasped. I could not die, not anymore.I had to live for him.Rory had not left the ambulance. She called for the doctor at once."What's wrong with him? Is he okay?" she asked.The doctor checked my vitals in a panic, then breathed out when the numbers steadied."He's out of immediate danger. He just needs rest in the hospital."I worked in big factories for decades, so I could read the subtext in someo

Rory did not say a single word. She strode forward and slapped Vincent so hard he shut up immediately.Celeste did not care about anything else. She scrambled to get up and put herself between them."Rory, are you crazy? That's Vincent!" she cried.Rory yanked Celeste by the hair and forced her to stare at the cleaned face of their brother on the stretcher."Look at him. Is this a madman?" she demanded.I clung to Benjamin's hand and refused to let go. Two clean tracks of tears ran down my face.When Celeste really looked at him, she went dumbstruck."No... This can't be..."She dropped to her knees and rolled up his sleeve. The butterfly tattoo on his wrist matched the one on her own wrist exactly."It wasn't me who killed Benjamin. It was him! Finnegan swapped them! He's the one who killed Benjamin!" she shrieked, pointing at me, eyes wild.Rory moved in front of us like a shield as she replied Celeste with fury coiling in her voice, "I came straight back after receiving a
Misguided Vengeance Chapter 5
What met Celeste was a quick and decisive kick from Rory. She had never expected things to have gotten so terribly out of hand after being gone on a business trip for just a month.She barked orders and had her people haul me and Benjamin up out of the pit.Rory shoved Celeste's head against the ground and dragged her forward to see the mangled body. "Look at who you just killed!" she yelled.Celeste stood there like she'd been stunned."It's Finnegan and his brother... Rory, why are you hitting me?"Anger warred behind Rory's eyes, almost like it would take physical form."Are you blind?" she spat.Celeste blinked in confusion."Rory, you grew up with Vincent. This man is the one who killed the brother he depended on since childhood! I'm avenging Vincent's brother! That guy was just trying to pose as Benjamin. "Our real brother is probably at the amusement park waiting for the fireworks. There's no way this is him! I turned this impostor into a pincushion. Good thing I train
