The sun was shining, and the teenagers were
looking at each other from afar.
I sat upstairs, admiring the view.
That’s where things got started.
I smiled.
If you want to destroy someone, make them
happy.
To hear the person you gave up everything
for say that about you.
Would he give up?
Or would he cling harder?
I was excited.
A few days later, the news came that Sarah
was pregnant and getting married.
Chad apologized on his knees.
Sarah forgave him.
Whether it was someone else telling him what
<
to do, or maybe he was the most pathetic, he
knew how much he needed Sarah.
So, he started trying to be her perfect
husband.
My dad fed the koi, smirking.
“She’s going to marry him again?”
Mom scoffed.
“She must have forgotten what a jerk he is.”
I silenced Sarah’s call again.
I was easy.
Soon after, I celebrated my birthday.
Г
My first public appearance at the company.
Naturally, I had to make it big.
That day, Sarah and Chad showed up.
They were holding hands in the corner,
looking like a nice couple.
I raised my glass to them, then went to greet
the other guests.
In a black suit, I was talking to everyone in
the room.
Everywhere I went, someone was watching
- me.
I looked back, smiling.
Г
Sarah’s eyes lit up.
Chad looked miserable.
I saw a server drop the tray and fall right in
front of Chad.
The wine was all over his suit.
He looked lost and alone.
People looked at him and shook their heads.
The family, the shame and everything else
was running through his head.
Sarah just stared at him.
I walked over.
く
I offered to let Chad change.
The looks of the crowd turned meaningful.
Sarah looked relieved.
But Chad looked at me, angry.
“Blake, I am sorry to bother you. I’ll go.”
I walked Chad away.
I asked Chad. “What do you want?”
Chad frowned at me.
“You are a bully! You did it all to embarrass
me!”

Г
I sighed.
“You let your power go because you felt
good. My parents did it all, and I’m trying to
make them happy.”
I was there when Chad was drunk and beating
up Chad’s family.
The family begged Chad to take Chad away.
He asked if he could live at my place.
But they chose a different life.
The world does not go as far as it could go.
“How could you ask me to leave me for her?”
I looked at him coldly. “Please consider me a
friend.”
Chad punched the wall, furious, tears running
down his face.
- 12.
“You’re so arrogant! I love Sarah! She’s the
only person who has ever cared! Are you
trying to control me?
“You think you’re special, but it’s all a lie!
Sarah’s the one who saved me! Everything
you do is just for show!”
I laughed.
“You’re the one I paid for! You are the one
that will do whatever to get Sarah, and go
<
behind her back with a bunch of ladies to get
even.”
“You never thought that.”
“Why didn’t you say no?”
His eyes burned with anger.
“You were trying to take away Sarah! How
could you do this?”
They made you what you are today!
I thought about it a little too! You will never
tell the people you love!
I interrupted him. “I don’t even know why
she’s doing this to him.”
<
“Now you are happy, and I will stop you from
happiness.”
I put my guard down.
“How could she hurt her family?”
“The things my family did made him love her
more! I will never see any of my best friends.”
Before I knew it, the door flew open.
“Blake!”
