Girl in Love (4)

I looked down, not wanting to see that girl's expression. When I finally had the courage to look at her face, she looked like she was burning with jealousy. I hugged her brother, making him duck when a highly pressurized arrow made from air headed towards my throat. Her brother trembled, finding himself really a target.

Luke instantly scanned the room to find the source of where the arrow had come from. I immediately let go of him when a sharp piece of glass dashed towards my heart. He froze as he found himself close to death in the last few seconds. I needed to get as far away from him as possible.

But instead, I pushed him down to the ground when a dagger shook out of the wall to cut a strand of my hair in the process. I knew it wasn't just me when I thought it was aimed towards the middle of my neck. Everyone stepped more than a few steps away from us as they watched us almost get butchered to death from the last several attacks.

"Please say you hate me. Please tell her you despise me with all your heart. Or else she won't give up on me," I pleaded.

"But I can't. I would be lying to say that I hate and despise you," he looked up at me.

Did that girl know that her brother was a total player? I did notice most of the people he talked with were other girls, but I didn't think it would be this bad. I sighed as this was increasingly becoming more and more hopeless.

Luke immediately tugged me into another direction as the buffet table collapsed, making all the plates and wine glasses topple towards where I used to stand. Her brother, who had fast reflexes, escaped to the same spot as us. Maybe Ben's fraction was correct to not have a buffet table in the middle of the ballroom.

"Who else do you like?" I brightly smiled.

"What do you mean? Isn't it too cruel to accuse me when I just accepted your confession?" He crossed his arms.

I continued my smile as I chanted a spell to amplify his voice. Everyone inside the grounds of the mansion should have heard his voice. Let her brother burn into hell from his affairs! I had to make her give up on her love for him. He frowned as if he didn't know what I was talking about. It was right then, a girl came marching towards us, slapping his cheek.

"You told me that I was the only one. You told me that your partner was nothing to you," she screamed.

I started to pity his partner as she watched the entire thing in the front lines inside the crowd. It was just then, another girl sprinted to kick him in the shin. My eyes widened as he didn't only have one affair.

"There was another person in our relationship? I even got in trouble with my partner's family because of you!" she continued to kick him in the same spot.

It was a total love square like he had a harem. He had the typical obsessive younger sister, the sub heroine who was also deeply in love with him, the elegant girl who was starting to give up everything to be with him, and his original partner. His partner smirked as she watched the whole thing unravel.

She looked like she was having the time of her life as she enjoyed the scene in front of her. I didn't think anyone would have an affair in the first district since everyone was engaged to someone. But Shelly did mention to me before that some people did date before they got married to their original partner with their partner's consent.

"To think I ever loved scum like you," a girl cried.

I searched for the younger sister to find her bored with the scene. It appeared like she didn't mind her brother getting beaten up since the incident was separating him from the rest of his harem. It was like she already knew about the existence of his harem!

"Is this common?" I whispered into Luke's ear.

Luke watched the whole scene with extreme disapproval. He especially looked at the boy like he was less than a bug. With the whole crowd observing the scene with a lot of gossip, it showed it was something rare.

"I was going to tell you that I'm pregnant. I'm three weeks in," she threw the papers onto the ground.

I couldn't hold in my gasp. This was on a whole other level. It was like I was watching a soap opera from my former life. Was that girl ok?

"I threw some drugs earlier this morning in her drink," the younger sister suddenly came from behind.

"She'll lose her child soon," she shrugged.

One thing I knew for sure was that the younger sister was crazier than her older brother. The best thing I could do to protect myself was to avoid the both of them as much as possible. I pitied all the three girls in his harem, not knowing the fourth heroine.

Although the brother deserved to be the target, I felt bad for all the people in their surroundings who got swept up in this mess. I tightened my grasp on Luke's arm as I hoped she would soon walk away from me.
