Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother Chapter 46
If it weren't for the kind old man I encountered, I would be a lifeless body by now. And a simple sorry couldn't reverse the situation.If I had known that the barbecue dinner with him would lead to this, I wouldn't have gone, even if it meant death. I blamed it on my lack of willpower.So, it was my own fault, not his. I didn't need his light-hearted apology after he left me alone to face life and death.Felix seemed to sense my indifference. He leaned forward and reached out to check my forehead temperature. He was about to say something when I avoided his touch and cut off his yet-unspoken words. "I'm tired and need rest. Leave, and don't come back."Perhaps my coldness made him uncomfortable. Guilt appeared in his eyes as he tried to justify himself. "Lulu, you never used to treat me like this."With a faint smile, I squinted my eyes against the harsh sunlight. "The past is the past, and I've already apologized for my mistakes. There's no need to bring it up again."It had be

In the following days, I started running a fever, feeling disoriented and uncomfortable with pain all over my body.Jade and the others visited me and shared jokes to cheer me up every day. Yet, I couldn't muster any interest. Seeing my lack of enthusiasm, they fell silent and quietly kept me company throughout the day.Ever since the Whites left that night, my parents and I tacitly avoided mentioning the incident. I wasn't sure if Aunt Melinda had visited me again. But my parents didn't bring it up, and I preferred not to dwell on it. My parents devoted all their attention to me, seemingly cutting ties with the White family.I observed Mom several times, especially two days ago when she turned Aunt Melinda away during her visit. There was a subtle hint of concern in Mom's eyes.I sighed inwardly, realizing that my condition had strained the relationship between Mom and Aunt Melinda. Having a daughter as fragile and helpless as me could be both a blessing and a curse for my m

I believed Lilac's visit that day was to prove that she had won Felix over me.I initially had a good impression of Lilac, thinking she was fragile and pitiful. If they truly loved each other, I could give them my blessings. After all, Felix's dislike for me had nothing to do with Lilac.However, Lilac's actions left me disappointed after a few incidents.I always believed that one should have a pure heart regardless of one's background or wealth. Lilac was under 20 years old, but she appeared to have been tainted by worldly matters and was too scheming.I wondered if, with time, Felix would come to regret discovering her true nature. Could their present love endure, allowing them to age together?During breakfast, I brought up the topic of moving again. Dad mentioned that they had already found a house and paid the deposit.It was in a new community farther away in the city center. However, the house was still under construction and wouldn't be ready until next year.I felt a

"Harper, we've been friends for over 20 years. Staying at your place feels as comfy as my own home. But with you moving, it's like there's an emptiness in my heart. "If it weren't for Felix's mistakes, this wouldn't be happening. Just the thought of being apart from you hurts," Aunt Melinda said."This isn't his fault. We're moving because we like the new place and the neighborhood's architecture. It really has nothing to do with Felix. Don't overthink it," Mom comforted her."I know, Harper. I know everything," Aunt Melinda said, breaking into tears again.I fell asleep again at some point and had a particularly frightening nightmare. I found myself falling into an abyss surrounded by towering mountains with no visible peaks. Water relentlessly cascaded from above, swiftly engulfing me up to waist level.All around, there were only barren mountains and tumultuous waters. I was trapped in the water, completely immobilized. When I tried to scream for help, my throat felt constri

When we arrived at the airport and got out of the car, Colin's video call suddenly came in. Without much thought, I walked aside to answer.Speaking of Colin, he truly lived up to being amazing and talented. However, there was one habit of his that I didn't understand. He rarely called for matters and always preferred video calls.I once asked him why, and he said video calls have a loud ringtone, making them less likely to be missed.It turned out that the institute was organizing a competition in collaboration with several prestigious schools. Renowned classical painters would serve as judges, and schools could form teams to participate. Colin asked if I wanted to join so he could team up with me.To be somewhat precise, I came from a literary family. My dad was a high school English teacher. If not for my mom's restraint, he could spend all day reciting poems at home for me and Mom.My mom worked in interior design. According to my dad, she was a rare talent in her youth. I

Although Felix claimed to be concerned about me getting hurt, he had already left me completely battered. Felix's half-hearted concern was quite despicable.I deleted his messages one by one and replied, "Don't worry. I've arrived."Felix almost instantly responded and sent several lengthy voice messages on WhatsApp.I ignored them and put my phone back in my backpack. To me, his belated concern was as worthless as grass.Colin was waiting for me in front of a black SUV, his handsome face adorned with a smile and his tall figure exuding charm. He looked mature and composed in a white shirt with subtle patterns and dark trousers.His eyes lit up when he saw me, and he strode over to grab my suitcase. His large hands ruffled my hair vigorously. "Long time no see, Lulu, you've grown taller."I shyly shrunk my neck and lifted my head to look up at him. "Colin, you became even more handsome.""It was an honor to be praised by you." He laughed heartily, stowed the suitcase in the

He lowered his gaze and said something to the guy at his table before striding toward me.Colin was indeed tall, and his imposing figure was something I hadn't noticed before.Felix, on the contrary, wasn't short. He stood over six feet tall and had a handsome appearance. He was elegant, slender, and fair-skinned. He usually kept to himself and carried a distant demeanor, making him seemingly out of reach for everyone.However, Colin had broad shoulders and a robust physique. Even in a shirt, one could see his well-defined muscular lines beneath.His thick eyebrows and distinctive features provided a strong sense of security. To be frank, he was a rugged man that any girl would want to rely on.He was really tall, around six feet and three inches. At five feet and seven inches, plus a slight slope, I barely even reached his shoulders."I was just about to welcome you," Colin said with a smile."Colin, did you grow taller again? You're so tall." I regretted the words as soon as t

I might have missed out on many beautiful moments because of Felix."Stop the nonsense. If you scare her away, it's your responsibility to bring her back."Colin was diligently peeling shrimp for me when he said this. After peeling one, he placed it on my small plate. Every time I ate one, Colin would smile gently at me.Colin was always so tender toward me. He had been like this since I was a child. He never restricted his friends from chatting with me, but he always kept an eye on my emotions. If there was anything that might make me uncomfortable, he would promptly intervene.He knew what I liked and disliked. He consistently included dishes I favored but felt too bashful to request at home.Despite the jokes, his classmates were very caring toward me. Laughter filled the dining table, dispersing the tension I initially felt.I always felt relaxed and at ease whenever I was with Colin. In short, I thoroughly enjoyed this meal.When we left, it was raining outside. In Se

Luna furiously scolded me, asserting that I didn't deserve Queenie's love and that Queenie had been blind to my true colors all those years. Driven mad by desperation, I chased after Queenie, determined to tell her I was wrong and plead for another chance to prove myself. However, the young man intervened, delivering a swift and punishing combination of punches and kicks that knocked me to the ground. Humiliated, I struggled to get up and fight back, unwilling to lose to another man.Despite his youthful appearance, the look in his eyes as he glanced at Queenie was undeniable. It was a blend of love, desire, and possessiveness only a man could understand.I was consumed by the thought that he wasn't worthy of my precious Queenie's love.Nevertheless, my body felt heavy and powerless. It was as if the strength had been drained from me. The blows rained down on me, bringing with them a strange sense of relief amidst the pain. Part of me yearned for him to kick me harder, inflict

I wanted nothing more than to run to Queenie, to hold her tightly and tell her how much I missed her during those endless days apart. I wanted to kiss her deeply and feel the warmth of her embrace. I called out, "Queenie, I'm here."Seeing me seemed to jolt Queenie from her joyous state, replacing it with a vacant expression. Mere moments before, she had been smiling brightly, her eyes aglow with happiness. Now, she appeared lost, her initial elation dissipating into a blank, unresponsive gaze.I couldn't understand why she had turned so distant upon seeing me. The love and joy that once shone in her eyes were nowhere to be found. As I observed her, I wondered if our time apart had caused her to forget. Or perhaps the events of the past had wounded her so profoundly that she had stopped waiting for me.The thoughts terrified me, and I dared not ask for fear of confirming my suspicions. All I wanted was to hold her, kiss her, and tell her how much I missed her. Yet, it seemed tha

I had no interest in Daniela's pregnancy, so I kicked her out of the house. My friends came to console me, each expressing their sympathies with a drink because they didn't know how else to comfort me.The money I had sent to Queenie's account was quickly returned as the account had been closed. Her phone number became unreachable, and when I sought her at her parents' home, I found the elderly couple waiting anxiously for their daughter's return. I lost not only Queenie but any connection to her. I grew disinterested in everything, neglecting my company and spending my days in a drunken haze.Then, my uncle came. We drank through the night as he shared tales of his hardships, the painful memories of his mother, and the years he spent alone, suffering.He said, "Everyone has their fate, Flynn. And choosing one thing often means losing another. Just as you've chosen to fight for the family business, you've sacrificed a part of yourself. But you must rise and fight me with all you'v

Queenie would then jump off the cliff, leaving me to jolt awake in a cold sweat. I endured each twilight in my hopeless vigil, counting down the days.On the 75th day, the door finally unlocked. I stepped outside and realized that this was the neighborhood where Queenie and I lived. All this time, we had been mere yards apart.My mom truly knew how to break a person's spirit. All I had to do was lift my head to see the pomegranate tree planted in our yard.I stumbled toward our home, my wounds screaming as I desperately called for Queenie. But the immaculate house stood eerily silent, echoing my footsteps like thunder.Except for Queenie, every possession remained meticulously in place—the exquisite clothes, expensive jewelry, and designer cosmetics.Queenie was gone, and the thought of losing her drove me into a frenzy.I collapsed in the middle of the room, sobbing uncontrollably. Regret consumed me. I should have never let my family's threats manipulate me and left Queenie to

I clenched my fists, barely resisting the urge to rush over to Queenie's side. All I wanted was to embrace her and whisper assurances that I would protect her, always. But I knew I had no right to do so.My dad's threat hung heavy in my mind, and the stares of Daniela and her mother bore into Queenie like daggers. One wrong move or word and those blades would descend upon Queenie, cutting her to shreds.The pain was unbearable. I felt sorry for Queenie. I was powerless and couldn't help her. With all my heart, I wished for her to stay strong and survive. She deserved better than me. Daniela's mother slapped Queenie, calling her a whore and a homewrecker, accusing her of seducing other people's boyfriends.Queenie stood rigidly, her gaze filled with humiliation. Her lips trembled, and the light in her eyes gradually faded.I winced in agony but held myself together, picking up Daniela and walking away.Countless times afterward, I berated myself for choosing to take Daniela away

We both knew the truth—neither of us could cross the chasm that had formed between our hearts.After that, I went home almost every day. We managed to maintain a semblance of normalcy in our day-to-day lives. We prepared sumptuous dinners and tended to our garden. I even considered adopting a pet to keep Queenie company while I was away.However, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't rekindle the warmth we had once shared. Queenie hardly smiled anymore. No matter what I did to cheer her up, she would only give a half-hearted smile, her eyes remaining cold and distant.I knew something had transpired during our separation, but she refused to discuss it. My attempts to uncover the truth through private investigators were in vain. Any evidence had been meticulously erased.Eventually, I realized Queenie was simply biding her time, waiting for the moment when she would be forced to relinquish all hope and leave.A month later, my mother joyfully told me that Daniela was pregnant an

I grabbed a brush from the bathroom and scrubbed myself furiously, desperate to wash away the overwhelming sense of filth. Even as the rough bristles tore into my skin, drawing blood and causing searing pain, I felt no closer to feeling clean.My mind was consumed with thoughts of Queenie and the nearly five years we had spent together—the happy moments, the arguments, every single memory.At that moment, I realized I was terrified. Never before had I experienced such abject fear. Knowing Queenie's uncompromising stance on love and fidelity, I knew she would never forgive me once she discovered my transgression.She would undoubtedly turn and leave, heedless of any pleas I might make. I probably wouldn't even have the courage to ask for her forgiveness in the face of her justified anger.I regretted everything. If I had listened to my friends and taken Queenie away from all this, none of this would have happened. But I had hesitated. Even now, I couldn't be certain if my hesitati

Yesterday afternoon, my dad called and demanded that I make a decision within two days, or they would take action.I felt cornered because I genuinely didn't know how to talk to Queenie about this. The mere idea of her packing her belongings and leaving, accompanied by the unspeakable anguish it would inflict upon me, was a burden too heavy to bear.I wasn't sure if I could ever have a semblance of normality in my life again after that.So, I gathered some friends to drink with me. I drank heavily because I had made a decision—a disgraceful, heartless decision. The thought of what I would have to face the next day made life seem hopeless, so I drank even more.Before losing consciousness, I handed my car keys to my assistant, using my last bit of clarity to tell him to take me home no matter what state I was in.Even if it meant returning to the Hayes family's residence, he should not leave me out on the streets. Despite the imminent breakup, I wanted to part ways with Queenie in

My mom proved to be even more ruthless than my dad. She found me, dropped to her knees without a word, and begged me. She reminded me of the years they had spent raising me, pleading that I ensure they wouldn't be left without a sense of security in their old age.In essence, they were pressuring me to abandon everything. I was to pursue money and power for their sake, secure the Hayes family's head position, and ensure our grip on wealth and influence. Their priority was maintaining their luxurious, elevated lifestyle. My happiness, my desires—whether I even wanted those things—meant nothing to them. Sometimes, it felt like I was nothing more than a tool for achieving their ambitions.My dad told me bluntly that he would go after Queenie if I didn't comply. He said, "You're right. I'm incapable of outmaneuvering your uncle. But no matter how incompetent I am, I can easily make Queenie's life in Harveyton unbearable."To be honest, that day was the coldest my heart had ever felt
