My Absence Teaches Better Than My Love
I fall for Asher Kline, the son of Mom and Dad's sworn enemy, and chase him for three years. When we finally start dating, our private life becomes full of debauchery.
From tents and luxury cars to lounges and studies, any place that offers privacy and a thrill becomes ours. We push into every advanced position we can manage, filming plenty of steamy videos along the way.
Then one day, I overhear him chatting with his best friend.
"Aren't you taking it too far, using Rhea to get back at her parents? Maybe you should drop it and find another way."
"No. I'm sticking with it. When the time comes, I'll leak those videos of us. Those two old farts will be so furious that they'll choke on their own rage. That's exactly what I want."
"But you've been with her so long. Don't you feel anything for her?"
"No. I only approached her to get revenge and destroy her family's company."
I'm crushed when I realize his so-called love is filled with nothing but payback and scheming.
But when I walk away and am about to marry someone else, he falls apart and begs me to forgive him.
