Getting Back at Him

I had to admit that every buried feeling inside me was stirred up by Tessa at that moment.

Even though I no longer cared about the bracelet, she started talking about our childhood.

She bullied me since we were little, stole my things, and now she even took my man!

Suddenly, my emotions erupted like a volcano.

I reached out my hand without even touching her when Tessa suddenly screamed and collapsed to the ground, clutching her stomach, and crying out in pain.

Jason rushed over in an instant, knocking me down, then gently helped Tessa up.

“Sheena, are you crazy? You knew Tessa’s pregnant, and you still have the guts to push her!”

I fell hard onto the ground. My palms were scraped raw and bleeding.

However, the pain was nothing compared to Jason’s harsh words.

“You are downright crazy, hurting your own sister like that. How could someone like you possibly deserve to be my girlfriend?”

“Jason, please don’t say that. It’s all my fault. Sheena got mad. That’s why she pushed me. As long as you care about the child in my belly, that’s enough for me. I am leaving for my hometown tomorrow. I won’t get in her way again.”

She stood up and turned to leave.

Only to be grabbed by Jason.

“Tessa, this isn’t your fault. You don’t have to leave!”

Then, he turned back to glare at me coldly. Every word he said was like a knife.

“If anyone’s leaving, it’s that evil woman, Sheena!

“Besides, I bought this villa for you. What right does she have to be here?!”

I stared at Jason in disbelief. My breath caught in my throat, and I could not even speak.

Of course. Every brick and beam here belongs to Jason and Tessa. What did Sheena have to do with any of it?

If I was not welcomed, there was no reason for me to stay.

I forced the words out between clenched teeth.

“Fine. I’ll leave.”

Before walking away, I shot Jason a calm look.

“The news about you and Tessa getting married has already been leaked online. You were seen walking in the garden and returning to the villa today.”

For a moment, a flicker of pity and guilt flashed in Jason’s eyes. He opened his mouth but said nothing, finally lowering his head nervously to soothe Tessa, who was still shaken.

I limped out of the neighborhood and waited for a ride on the street.

Soon, Zayden’s car pulled up.

He and Jason were good friends. He was also an investor in the company.

“Did Jason send you here?”

After a long pause, Zayden finally spoke.

“Yes and no.”

I frowned, not quite understanding what he meant.

He lounged lazily against the car.

“He called me and said you two fought. Honestly, if it were someone else, I wouldn’t have bothered coming.”

After thinking it over, I got in the car.

It was late, and it was hard to get a taxi in the villa district at this hour.

Zayden drove me to the hospital to get my scraped palms treated.

By the time everything was done, and I got home, it was already past midnight.

I thanked him. Then, unexpectedly, he said,

“If you want to get back at Jason, I’m willing to help.”

A bitter smile curled at my lips.

“You are both in on it together. What revenge could there possibly be?”

Suddenly, he pinned me into the corner of the car. His fingers twirled around a strand of my hair.

“How’ll you know Jason and I are on the same team if you don’t take a chance?”
