I’m Someone Else

It was true that Thomas was an orphan. He had grown up alongside a rather crazy old man whom he used to think was his grandfather. However, as Thomas started understanding the world around him a little more, the old man told him that they weren’t related to each other at all. Thomas was just a kid that the old man had picked up by the side of the road. Thomas had always taken pride in his strength, and he hated the idea of telling others about his past just to be pitied by them. So, there were only a few people who truly knew about Thomas’ upbringing.

Unfortunately, Felice was one of those people. Thomas hadn’t expected Felice to expose his old wounds, especially since she had publicly claimed that Walt was just a man she was fooling around with. Chloe froze when she heard Felice’s words—this was the first time Chloe had ever heard of the fact that Thomas was an orphan.

However, Felice showed zero interest in anyone else’s feelings or thoughts. She simply shoved Chloe aside before turning to leave. “Ah!” In a bout of fury, Thomas pulled out a glass bottle from his grocery bag before throwing it at Felice. The bottle hit Felice on the leg, and she let out a cry as she fell onto her knees. Thomas wasn’t mad about the fact that Felice had exposed his childhood. After all, there wasn’t much more she could do to hurt him after she lied to him for eight years just for the sake of his money.

“How could you leave after hitting Chloe? Do you think I’m going to let you off just like that?” Thomas walked over and glared at the woman who was on her knees. Felice barely had the chance to gauge the situation—all she understood was that there had been a sharp pain in her leg, and that she had fallen onto her knees. She gritted her teeth and tried to stand up, but she felt as if her legs no longer belonged to her. She couldn’t seem to summon the strength to move her legs. When she looked up to meet Thomas’ cold glare, she felt chills running down her spine.

“W-What do you want from me?” Felice stuttered while asking.

You slapped my sister once, so you deserve to be slapped 100 times in return!” he growled. Does she really think I’m a pushover? She just happened to get herself attached to some gangster; does she really think that she’s undefeatable? Why doesn’t she use her brain for once? Does she think she can scare me when I’ve already broken both of her boyfriend’s legs? She cheated on me, and I tolerated it. She asked me for money, and I gave it to her. I

I’m sure she learned her lesson.” In the past, Thomas’ good friend, Zachary, often praised Chloe for her good temper.
