My Boyfriend is A Cheater,but My Brother Responds Cruelly and Cunningly

During the Spring Festival, my boyfriend Andrew Beadsworth, signed up for an overseas tour group. As soon as the plane landed, he coaxed me onto a bus. The car drove for two days and two nights. I trembled all over as I looked at the increasingly familiar route. It was exactly the hometown I escaped from four years ago. Andrew noticed my dissimilarity, he finally pretended to stop. He said with a ferocious look that he would sell me to a black factory. Then the big boss he was talking about was the head of that factory, actually my own brother. I spent twenty years of my life faking my death to escape from him and then I didn't expect to be tricked back by Andrew four years later.

Seeing me trembling Andrew smiled gently. “Florencia, didn't you say you love me very much? I owe a huge gambling debt. Can you help me?”

My voice began to tremble. I feared what would happen to him if his fate fell into my brother's hands.

“Please Andrew, send me back quickly. I can give you the money you want.  I'll go work and earn money to support you for the rest of your life. Andrew. Please, believe me.”

Andrew’s facial expression changed. He then scolded me sternly, “Do you think I can have time to wait? If you don't pay me back the money in three days, I'll be killed by them, Florencia. You are wasting my time. You have been raised by me for two years. So, it's time to pay me back with interest!”

I shivered even more when I heard him say that I was wasting his time. I knew in the past, my brother's subordinates secretly criticized me for being a waste. They also didn't even dare to crush an ant to death. My brother buried me in the soil. He then poured honey on me and attracted countless ants. That person died after being chewed up by the ants. I just thought if my brother heard Andrew scolding me like this, what would he do to him?

The fear spread in my heart, looking at this man I had loved for two years. Then the tears finally flowed uncontrollably.

“Didn't you say you wanted to start your own family with me? You said I was your most beloved family Andrew,” I asked him briefly.

Andrew's warm hand caressed my face. His words that came out were icy cold and piercing.

“Yes, of course, Florencia. Shouldn't family members help each other? So, please, help me.”

I clenched my lips and desperately shook my head. I could see a flash of pity in Andrew's eyes.

Andrew said, “You're the most heartbreaking when you cry, Florencia. Do you know that? You're the prettiest of all my girlfriends and also the most innocent. If it wasn't for the lack of money, I really wouldn't want to sell you.”

His eyes suddenly became fierce. “You're mine and I can't accept another man doing that to you, Florencia.”

He tackled me into the carriage and took out a rope to tie my hands behind me. Then, he pulled out a dagger from his pocket. He gestured at my face.

“Florencia, you don't want to be insulted either, do you? Let me help you, okay?”

The dagger flashed with a cold light and cut a fiery pain on my face. I felt a stinging sensation.

“Please, don’t do that Andrew,” I cried out in despair.

My face was my brother's favourite. When I was a child, I knocked over the servant's boiling water that had not been dried yet and my face was scalded. When he learned that the scars might be left on my face, my brother cut off the maid's hands. He then threw them into the crocodile pool. He threatened the doctor that he must cure my face or else he would remove his face skin. My brother said that my face looked like my dead mother. So, he would never allow my face to be injured.

Meanwhile Andrew scratched my face. If my brother knew I didn't dare to think about it anymore. I just ignored the pain on my face.

“Please, my face can't be ruined Andrew.”

Andrew laughed. “I asked Abelard a long time ago. He said that the women in the factory don't need to look at their posture. It’s ok as long their body functions are normal.”

I was silent and asked in my heart, ‘Abelard? Could it be the factory's newest employee, Abelard, who came to the factory four years ago?’
