The Love that Never Really Dies

That was the secret that no one ever knew about.

Kira was beautiful and was connected to the Jadesons, so many rich families actually favored having her as their daughter-in-law.

What no one knew, however, was that she was already in love with someone else.

The man she loved could never be exposed because he would never be accepted.

Kira stood outside the room, but she could still hear the conversation.

Devin, who had always been patient, was growling angrily, “Mom, what the hell are you doing? She’s not a kid anymore. How can you hit her like this?”

“What’s wrong? Am I not allowed to discipline her?”

“You’re not her mom. You’re just an aunt. Yet, you are hurting her for no reason at all. I don’t even know if my uncles will be mad upon learning this,” informed Devin with a terrible expression. His tone was harsh as well.

Jasmine was even angrier after hearing how her own son was reprimanding her. She dissed, “Oh, like they’d have any ground to get angry? If it hadn’t been for me, none of them would be living a life that prestigious. So what if I lay a hand on one of their children? They still won’t dare to speak up to me!”

“Mom!”

Devin was so angry with his mom that he was going insane.

How can she possibly be so unreasonable? Kira is a person, not an item! Besides, doesn’t she have an obligation to help her own family out? Why is she behaving like she is a merciful goddess just because she is doing something she is supposed to do, anyway?

Devin was so disappointed that words couldn’t describe his feelings. He was too tired to keep arguing with his mom, though.

“I don’t want to argue with you. The bottom line is this. If I see something like this happening again, I will leave this house and never set foot in here again,” warned Devin strictly.

After that, he stepped forward and left.
