Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon)

The night was still and wrapped in darkness.

Amelia was careful and afraid of waking Simon. Otherwise, that would make it all for nothing. At that moment, her mind was filled with hatred and the need for

revenge.

She had never intended to pass her illness to him. Since she was short of money, she had just hoped he would help her buy the medication she needed to manage her condition. But she knew that wasn't a long-term solution.

Amelia had never planned to touch him. He forced her into this.

When Simon learned the full truth about her condition, his anger and insults ripped away his pretentious act. Underneath, he was nothing but greed and cruelty. He was a miserly, small-minded man who thrived on exploiting others.

It was nearly an hour before Amelia quietly climbed off him.

At one point, he had tried to turn over in his sleep, but he was too drunk. He dry- heaved a few times before settling again.

Amelia didn't leave right away. Instead, she sat nearby and quietly took Simon's naked photos with her phone. After resting for a while, she climbed onto him again.

The weight on him felt uncomfortable, and he shifted, trying to push her away. She held her breath and stayed perfectly still, ensuring he wouldn't wake up.

Halfway through the night, Amelia carefully straightened the sheets. Then, she picked up the now-cold hangover remedy and silently left Simon's room.

...

Back in her room, Amelia's drunken haze had long since faded. She downed the now-cold hangover remedy, ignored her headache, and sent all the photos to Adam.

She also sent a message. "Don't open the video. Just save it for me."

Adam, whose sleep schedule was always a mess, had been gaming all night at home.noveldrama

When he saw the photos, he immediately guessed the kind of video she had sent. He obediently saved everything onto his flash drive without opening a single file.

Stunned, he replied. "What the hell are you doing? Do you even realize..."

He wanted to say that her illness was contagious, but she was his sister. He couldn't bring himself to say something that might hurt her.

Before Adam could type anything else, Amelia called.

He picked up instantly. "You've been silent for days, and now, you suddenly show up just to..."

She didn't tell him about what had happened over the past few days. She simply said, "I'm going to get back at Simon."

Adam remained silent about using this method to get revenge on Simon.

Adam was undeniably a playboy. He was lazy and always looking for the easy

way out. But this time, it was a matter of life and death.

"Amelia, you can't do this... What if he calls the cops?"

"That's why I took photos and recorded a video. I've infected him. Would he dare make a scene about it?"

Her voice was hoarse. "Maybe you think this is murder. But when hez made sure every pharmacy refused to sell me the medicine I need wasn't he sentencing me to death too?"

Realizing what she meant, Adam slammed his hand on the table. "What?"

He hadn't known about this.

"He actually stopped the pharmacies from selling you your meds? Who the hell does he think he is? That bastard! You're right. If you have to go down, take him with you!

Amelia lowered her voice. "I just thought of Janice. When Simon kicked her out, did she hate him this much too? If she did, then why did she help him later?"

For the first time, Amelia understood how Janice must have felt and hated herself for it.

She had actually sided with Simon, a

complete scumbag, to torment someone just like her-someone with no family and no safety net, someone who had built everything on her own. en

A twinge of regret spread through her.

The realization hit her-she had reached the end of the road. Staring into

hopelessness made Amelia realize something.
