Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 231

Orion fell silent for a moment before speaking up suddenly.

"That girl, Sunny, you really liked her, didn't you?"

Dorian didn't respond. The two brothers stood there, neither saying a word. But Dorian knew the truth deep down.

Years ago, after Sunny disappeared, he had searched everywhere for her. But he had believed Arabella when she said that Sunny had run off with a local thug, dropping out of school to elope with him.

The first time he actually saw Sunny wasn't after school that day. It was in a video on Arabella's phone - a snippet from school featuring Sunny.

She wore bright overalls, her hair tied up in a playful bun, and her smile was like sunshine. Arabella had pointed her out, teasing that she had a crush on him, that she’d even tucked his photo in her book.

He was five years older than both Arabella and Sunny, so the idea that this young girl might be interested in him hadn't even crossed his mind.

That day, he'd gone to pick Arabella up from school, and that was when he saw Sunny, realizing Arabella had orchestrated the encounter. It was just a childish prank, something his little sister would do, and he thought nothing of it.

Sunny handed him a love letter that day. He accepted it, only to throw it away later. While he found her intriguing, he wasn't interested enough to keep the letter.

He expected her to cry, but instead, she lashed out at him. Her fiery response left a mark on him, though, a place in his mind where she lingered.

After that, they ran into each other a few times, but she ignored him, as if the letter had never existed. She remained cheerful and lively, feeding stray animals around the school like nothing ever happened.

He grew irritated. She'd given him a love letter, which meant she was into him, so how could she act like it never happened? He began to insert himself into her life, showing up in her vicinity on purpose.

Their paths crossed more often, and he was satisfied with how things were going. But then Arabella came to him, crying silently.

He noticed bruises on Arabella and, after pressing her, found out that Sunny was responsible. Arabella claimed Sunny was only getting close to him to spite her, to drive a wedge between the siblings. She even played him a recording.
