Married to Kill You

Chapter 2

Vely lost her balance when her dress was stepped on by someone who was none other than Vernon. She stumbled forward and landed on a man's chest, her wine glass tipping over and soaking the man's expensive shirt.

At that moment, Vely felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her embarrassment was so great that she couldn't even bring herself to look up at him.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..." Vely managed to stammer out the words.

"Go away from me," a low, icy voice pierced Vely's ears. She couldn't help but raise her head to look at the owner of the voice.

The next moment, as she locked eyes with the man, she froze in place. The man had a defined jawline and high cheekbones, and his almond-shaped eyes were framed by long, dark lashes. This perfect face, Vely had never seen anywhere! That face was more suitable to be described as an angel than a human for Vely.

"What are you doing? Get away from me," he spoke again, his tone even lower but still charming.

"Sexy, very sexy," Vely said without realizing it, making the man raise his eyebrows and the people around him chuckle.

"What?" The man furrowed his eyebrows when he heard the words of the girl who appeared out of nowhere and suddenly bumped into him.

"Vely, what are you doing?" Victoria, who had been watching, approached quickly, unable to bear watching her friend's ridiculous actions any longer. She immediately pulled Vely away from the man, saving her from further embarrassment.

In the bathroom, Victoria couldn't hold herself back any longer. She hit Vely on the back of the head.

"Ouch! Why did you hit me?" Vely looked at Victoria with a confused expression.

Victoria crossed her arms. "You i***t! Are you drunk? Because you usually do embarrassing things when you're drunk. What was that? How did you gather the courage to stick to that guy for so long? Are you crazy? He's one of the most respected figures in the country This."

"As for that man, who is he...?" Vely's face turned red when she remembered the man's extraordinary handsomeness.

Victoria put her hands on her hips and looked at Vely with an expression of disbelief.

"Do you seriously not know him? He is one of the most influential men in the business world, you... you have caused trouble with him. You better not meet him again!"

"So what?" Vely asked in a casual tone.

"You have damaged the Dormeuil Vanquish II suit that was only designed specifically for him, the suit is worth 100,000 USD, what if he asks for compensation? Do you have money for compensation!"

Vely's eyes widened in disbelief. "What? How can it be so expensive?"

Victoria nodded her head. "That's right, Vely... It's better if you don't see him again."

Vely sighed in resignation. She was quite dizzy thinking about her brother's debts, and if the man wanted to ask her for compensation, maybe she would really sell her kidney to pay off the debt!

"You're right... I should avoid it..."

Vely and Mia sat at the breakfast table, it was a quiet morning. While Mia was busy with her cellphone, Vely stared at her food in front of her without interest, she had absolutely no appetite this morning.

"Regarding Brother William," said Mia suddenly. "I tried to contact him, but he didn't respond at all. I felt very annoyed."

Vely bit her lip. "I can't contact him either. It's the last day for payment... We don't have anything to pay him."

Mia kept her cell phone and put it in her uniform pocket. "You should let me work part-time first, so I have savings."

Vely tried to convince her sister. "Just focus on studying. We have to find a scholarship so I can go to the medical school you want. This debt problem..."

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Vely immediately stood up to open it, usually at 7 am like this someone would deliver fresh milk for them.

However, when the door opened, what she saw was not the milkman, but five big thugs who were glaring at Vely.

"Miss, we came as promised. It's best to pay your debt now!" said the biggest thug while smiling crookedly.

Vely bit her lip. "I don't have all that money right now, but I'll soon..."

Before Vely could finish speaking, Jeff suddenly pushed her and entered the house, followed by other thugs.

"Take all the valuables here!" Jeff ordered, and his men immediately followed his orders.

"What are you doing? Stop it!" Vely shouted with a dark face when she saw her house being looted by them. Valuable objects were thrown carelessly on the floor, and what made her most angry was when she saw her sister, Mia, whose hands were now shackled by one of the thugs.

"Mia!" Vely tried to approach Mia, but was blocked by Jeff's large body who was smiling slyly. "We will take your sister! If you want your sister back, bring us the money!"

Vely looked at Jeff fearlessly, screaming in his face. "No! I won't let you take my sister!"

"Asshole! Let go of my sister!" Vely moved forward again to reach for Mia, but suddenly her hair was pulled so hard that she fell backwards.

"Big sister!" Mia screamed when she saw Vely fall to the floor.

"Boss, there's nothing valuable here!" said one of the other thugs to Jeff.

"Then we just have to take this little girl! Get her to the car," Jeff ordered while grinning evilly.

"No! You can't take her." Vely tried to stand up, but Jeff deliberately stepped on her foot.

"Ah!"

"Ugly guy!" Mia shouted, "Just take me, and don't hurt my brother!"

Jeff suddenly smiled broadly. "Oh, you really are a very good little brother. My boss will be happy to meet you."

"Let her go!"

The sharp voice containing a touch of coldness made everyone simultaneously turn their eyes towards the source of the voice. A handsome man in a luxurious suit was seen standing in the middle of the door calmly.
