Chapter 1 of True Love Comes After Betrayal

Jessica was a well-known good girl in the circle.

The most absurd thing she had ever done was to date her so-called brother.

The two of them stayed together night after night and every time they finished, she would fantasize about Jacob taking her abroad to get married.

Until one day, Jessica fainted due to low blood sugar, she heard the loud ridicule of Jacob and his friends.

"Jacob, didn't you say you were with her just for fun? You and her brother are sworn enemies, are you serious now?"

Jacob sneered. "How could I fall in love with my sworn enemy's sister? Besides, I was right beside her parents when they had the car accident. There can't be love between enemies."

As soon as she was discharged from the hospital, she called her aunt.

"Aunty, I've made up my mind. I'll go to Paris with you."

***

"Aunty, I've made up my mind. I'll go to Paris with you and leave the Oliveiras."

Her aunt, Paula Lawrence, on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment and then her tone was full of joy. "That's great, Jessie, I will arrange a visa for you right now. It will take about a week. So you can say goodbye to your adoptive parents while waiting for your visa."

"Especially your brothers. They have been taking care of you since your parents passed away. You must be grateful to them."

Jessica lowered her eyes and responded, "Okay, I will thank my brother and ...."

Before she could finish her words, the door was pushed open from the outside.

She immediately hung up the phone and looked up at Jacob, who was walking towards her.

He raised an eyebrow and placed the plate in his hand on the table. "Mom said you didn't eat because your stomach wasn't feeling well? Let me see what's going on."

He said as he reached his palm into her clothes and caressed her.

He chuckled and pushed her onto the bed, then leaned down on top of her with a swaggering smile on his face.

"I heard that vigorous exercise is good for physical health. How about we give it a try?"

The warm breath hit her ears. Jessica wanted to push him away, but she did not know what she thought of, she reached out and hugged his neck.

The moment she reached the depths of her emotions and pleasure, she could not help moaning. Jacob immediately covered her mouth.

The man had a smirk on his face, but his voice was gentle as he leaned over to her ear. "Be quiet, mom and dad are still in the living room."

After several rounds, he finally let her go, picked up the scattered clothes from the floor and put them on.

Before leaving, he picked up the cold dishes from the table, leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. "Have a good rest, I'm going to go out and do something."

She nodded obediently, then watched his figure walking further and further away.

No one knew, her boyfriend was her brother, Jacob Oliveira.

No one knew, he would come to her room almost every night, sleep on the same bed with her and whisper in her ear.

When she was sixteen years old, her parents passed away in a car accident, then her father's best friend brought her over and raised her in the Oliveira Family.

In seventeen years old, she considered Jacob her older brother and Jacob considered her his younger sister. Everyone knew he doted on her.

In eighteen years old, Jacob happened to come in and see her innermost thoughts in her diary when she was beginning to fall in love.

But he did not tell her, instead he confessed to her on his birthday.

He said, "You don't need to prepare a birthday gift for me, because you are the best gift I have ever received."

That night, they tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time and they made love night after night.

Jessica Oliveira was a well-known good girl in the circle. The most ridiculous thing she had ever done was to fall in love with her so-called brother.

After every night, she would hide under the blanket and search for information in secret, then fantasize that Jacob could take her abroad to get married and that the two of them could be together in public.

But all her fantasies ended three days ago when she fainted due to low blood sugar and happened to overhear the conversation between Jacob and his best friends.

That day, she fainted while shopping because she did not have breakfast.

In her half consciousness, she felt like she had been taken to the hospital by Jacob.

Just as she was about to open her eyes, she heard someone questioning.

"Jacob, didn't you say you were just having fun with her? Why did you rush over as soon as you heard that she fainted? You're not serious, are you?"

"Yeah ... when we were together, didn't you say you wanted to take revenge on her brother? We all know that you and her brother are sworn enemies, but she didn't know."

What revenge?

What enemy?

Jessica tightly grasped the blanket on the hospital bed, trying not to make a sound.

The next second, she heard Jacob's cold voice. "Her brother took away the award that should have belonged to me and he always outshined me in everything, so how could I possibly fall in love with the sister of my sworn enemy?"

"Besides, I was there when her parents and brother had the car accident, but I didn't save them. So it seems that Jessica and I are enemies, right? Have you ever seen enemies truly love each other?"

In an instant, the entire ward burst into laughter.

No one saw her tears falling drop by drop on the pillow, wetting it.

So she could have had a complete and happy family forever, but just because her own brother snatched away an award, Jacob chose not to save them.

Not only that, in order to continue seeking revenge, he pretended to love her, chose to be with her and fought to death to linger with her.

Jessica did not know how to react. She felt a severe chill all over her body.

When she was discharged from the hospital, she found that her aunt had sent her a message.

[Jessie, I heard that you fainted a few days ago. Is it serious? Do you want to come and live with me in France?]

[I know the Oliveiras treats you very well. You have been living there since you were sixteen years old, but you're not related by blood. If you encounter any danger in the future, I won't be able to help you, so I want to bring you over here. I will support you in whatever you want to do after you come here. Jessie, please consider it.]

Jessica did not respond to her message at first, because as her aunt said, the Oliveira Family treated her very well, even like their own daughter.

However, every night, when Jacob came to see her and made love with her, she would recall what she heard in the hospital that day.

She dreamed about the day her parents and brother died.

Just then, she finally decided to give up.

Give up the unhealthy relationship and give up Jacob as a person.
