Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

Inside Jasmine's eyes, I looked disheveled and terrified. I lost. I had never felt this scared in my life. It was as if I was about to lose something. My fingers dug deep into my palms. The pain was the only thing that held me together.

Jasmine, who had been gone for more than two weeks, suddenly appeared at the conference Jesselton College placed much emphasis on. Needless to say, she came prepared.

Her makeup, her elegant gestures, her confidence, and her mocking grin... All of them were trying to make me feel bad. She did this on purpose.

Ever since she told us she'd leave Jinovy, she had been waiting for the day to avenge herself for the humiliation and rejection she had received from Colin and me. She was trying to prove to Colin that turning her away was his biggest mistake.

Everyone knelt before the power of money, be it Colin or me. And Jasmine was certainly wealthy enough to toy us around.

No wonder Colin, who had only been working for a year at Jesselton College, was appointed as the person in charge. No wonder I was asked to audit the conference. It was her plan all along. Professor King glared at me and asked his assistant to take me away. However, I swatted his hand away. Was he eager to remove me because he knew what Jasmine had done?

If so, why did he hide it from me? Why did he play along with her plan? Did his family have anything to do with Jasmine's family? Could people like me never fight back against the rich in this capitalistic world?

I was furious, so much so that I couldn't see anyone else but Jasmine and me. We fought each other in silence.

No, I wouldn't lose. I couldn't

lose-for Colin's sake, for my

relationship's sake. Yes, she was rich and powerful. But so what?

too, had free will. I could dictat net

what I wanted to do. And as usual, her despicable tricks only made me abhor her even more.

And this time, her dirty scheme reached not just me but also Colin. Perhaps he was her final target. What did she want from him? Who was she to puppeteer Colin? What askProperty belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Colin to do? Was she here to ask

him to fulfill his promise?

Her appearance filled my head with a plethora of emotions. Other than the initial shock, there was only burning rage left.

Jasmine did not understand love at

all. If she did, she'd know that love required mutual commitment and not one-sided effort. Love should be pure and not tainted with manipulation and tricks. And tove was wishing each other happiness, not forcing each other to submit.

Perhaps she already lost in the game of love. Colin's feelings toward her had also turned from gratitude to despise. She had it coming.
