On his deathbed, Dad warned my sister and me.
Whoever betrays you, never choose forgiveness.
Always leave them behind.
So when my sister abandoned me for the ninth time to comfort our stepdad's depressed son, I didn't cry or make a fuss. I simply ordered 999 gallons of gasoline online.
My childhood sweetheart saw it and mockingly asked, "Planning to set yourself on fire to join your dead dad?"
My sister, feeling guilty, tried to explain: "After learning his dad and our mom had an affair, Nolan became depressed. His emotions are unstable. You need to be understanding."
My childhood sweetheart chimed in: "I don't know why you insist on dragging Nolan into the mess of the older generation. You're so petty."
"Besides, I've told you that once Nolan's depression gets better, I'll fulfill our childhood promise and marry you."
This time, I didn't argue with them.
They had no idea I had scheduled a fake death service.
I'm looking forward to the reactions of those present at Nolan's birthday party next week after my appearance as a charred corpse.

After their Betrayal, I Faked My Own Death

He was actually going to kill me, even if it meant dying together.


Before this, he had made detailed plans, and even recruited quite a few accomplices.


These included my mom, his dad, and Blaine.


They kidnapped me and brought me to an abandoned factory, trying to force me to give up the money.


Nolan was pouring gasoline while snarling at me ferociously: "Yen, you should have died long ago..."


"You should have died five years ago! Why did you have to come back?"


"Since the fire five years ago couldn't kill you, let's try again this time. I'll do it myself and personally send you to hell!"


In the final moments, my mom actually showed a hint of reluctance, saying to me: "Yen, don't blame me. I had no choice. These past years, mom hasn't been doing well..."


"When you get down there and see your dad, tell him I'm sorry too. Consider it a debt I owe to you both."


Unfortunately, the next moment, they heard the urgent sound of police sirens.
