Revenge Read Online Free PDF

guy who dumped you?”
    “Yes.”
    “Why?”
    “So I can make his life a living hell. Why else?”
    “Oh. So it’s payback, for dumping you at prom?”
    “Damn straight.”
    “I’m sorry, big sis, but personally, I think you’re being a little childish. Growing up is about forgiveness. He’s moved on, and I’m sure he’s grown up a little.”
    “What makes you so sure?”
    “Because I’ve seen him a time or two, even chatted with him a bit.”
    “You what!? You never said anything to me.”
    She shrugged. “Why would I? It was just a hi-and-bye, not a serious conversation.”
    “Did you happen to mention why he stood me up?”
    “I brought it up, but he didn’t give me a reason. He just said he was sorry, that something important came up.”
    “But the damn prom was important to me. Did he even bother to ask about me?”
    “Yes, and I told him you attend classes here at Belmont. He said something about you guys maybe having lunch.”
    “Not a chance.”
    “Yet you hired him?”
    “For revenge, I said.” I smirked. “Aren’t you listening?”
    “Look, Art’s a nice guy. He made a mistake, but I don’t think he’s a player like Brad, and he’s nothing like Kyle.”
    I blew out a long breath. “Yeah, well, speaking of Kyle, Juliet still has the hots for that Casanova. I don’t get it. She’s his best friend, so she sees how he is. Hell, he broadcasts all the details to her. That proves he only thinks of her as a friend.”
    “No doubt about it. Kyle has always been a player.”
    “Anyway, how are you and the hubby?” I asked.
    “Still the same. I couldn’t get laid if my life depended on it.”
    “I don’t know what to tell ya, sis, but you shouldn’t have to live in a sexless marriage. I think it’s time to get out. If there’s not some serious fucking going on, it’s not really a marriage, right? He’s more of a roommate and friend, if anything.”
    “I know. On the outside, we look like the perfect couple, but there’s a lot people don’t see. My marital bed has now become my own private hell of rejection and hurt.”
    “There are definitely big problems.”
    She looked down. “I don’t know what to do. Sometimes, I wish I was just single, back to a carefree life.”
    “You’ve either gotta fix this or put it out of your misery.”
    “I know, but it’s hard. I do still care for him a little, and I’ve got the girls.”
    “Well, maybe there’s still a chance, as long as he’s willing to make changes.”
    “I have this hope that our situation will approve,” she said.
    “Make him go to counseling again.”
    “That hasn’t helped. It’s just a waste of time and money, just something else for him to be bitter at me about.”
    “Things will get better, sis,” I consoled, patting her knee like our mom would do.
    “I hope so.” She sighed, then changed the subject. “Anyway, are you really gonna screw Art over? I don’t think it’s right, Alexis. Maybe I should just tell him who you are.”
    “It’s the perfect payback…and don’t you dare expose me. I can’t just let him get away with the hurt and embarrassment he caused.”
    “You can. You just have to forgive him.”
    “That’s easy for you to say. You aren’t the one he screwed over. I cried for months over it. He ruined my whole senior year.”
    “You had a major crush on him. My question is, do you still have that crush?”
    “Well, anyone can see how hot he is, and I guess there’s still some connection there, but…well, I’m just damn angry.”
    “Why don’t you just tell him who you are and talk it out? I know you’re sarcastic and snarky, and I love that about you most of the time, but you’re also usually responsible and mature. You go to classes and even manage a bar. Quit being spiteful and childish.”
    “I’m not being spiteful. I hired him, didn’t I?”
    “Yeah, for ulterior motives.”
    “He’s very charismatic and aced the interview.”
    “So you like him but hate
