Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

I rolled my eyes. Another scumbag? He flirted with other women yet thought he did nothing wrong. He thought he was just being a good friend, and he gaslit his girlfriend so that he could continue his behavior. What had the world become? How could someone in the wrong guilt-trip the victim while the victim had to swallow it all or risk being called petty? This man's girlfriend should break up with him. He wasn't worthy of her love.

"Zara, I'm telling you one last time. I can forget about the past. As long as you ask me to come back to you, I'll arrange a meeting between our parents to talk about our marriage. I'll treat you well. But you need to know that Faye is my childhood friend. She's my responsibility.

"You'll take care of her like I do now."

Wait. Zara? So the guy was Chris?

Before I could ask, the woman standing next to him suddenly sobbed. "Chris, did I cause you trouble again? I'm so sorry, Zara. I was sick. The doctor said it was serious and I needed someone to take care of me. You know as well that my parents live abroad. Chris is the only one I have in Jinovy.

"Please don't be mad at me, Zara. Once I recover, I'll give Chris back to you."

What a bitch! Her words would easily win Chris' heart while simultaneously hurt Zara's feelings. For some reason, the phone call was put on speaker mode. Zara's despondent wail entered my ears, shattering my heart into a million pieces. How could they do this to the cheerful Zara I knew?

Her cries did not make Chris feel guilty for her instead, they vexed him. The contempt on his face was so palpable as if Zara had

world. And he believed he had done

nothing wrong. "Zara, if you're

mad,

you come to me. Don't take it out on

Faye. Know your place."

Faye also cried louder. She apologized earnestly, "I'm sorry, Chris. It's all my fault. I'm the reason why Zara and you broke up. I should probably leave."

Chris had no patience left for Zara,NôvelDrama.Org © content.

so he hung up and put his phone into his breast pocket. Then, he chased after Faye, who was leaving. The two of them began arguing on the street, but shortly after, Faye fell into Chris' arms. She clenched his collar as she buried her face into his neck, crying.

So they were the infamous Chris and Faye. When I saw the love and affection in Chris' eyes when he looked at Faye, I grew angrier for Zara. Faye wasn't just his childhood friend. There was no responsibility whatsoever. He loved her!

What rotten lysk did I have to run into those two douchebags? Chris disgusted me with his cheekiness and Faye sounded like a pick-me-girl who played the victim all the time. I wondered if she was born with complete mastery of hypocrisy.

And how dumb was that Chris? Couldn't he tell that it was all an act?

Hearing it from Jade and seeing it myself were two completely different things. Rage took over me as I began charging at them. I wanted to slap Chris to avenge Zara!

However, someone was one step ahead of me.

As soon as I lifted my leg, a shadow darted from beside me, followed by a scream. Chris' body was thrown several feet away, and he bounced off a wall. He fell to the ground in the most unceremonious fashion and struggled to get up.
