Chapter 76 revenge

I will have my revenge tonight.I've waited twenty-five years, and for twenty-five years, I've been filled with hatred.Tonight, I'm going to have my revenge. To be honest, I don't know what Riley likes about me, maybe it's my sense of humor.I'm not handsome, I don't have much money, I'm smart, but not enough to show off. I've been in the army, I've been to Europe and the Pacific, but nothing great has been done. Maybe it's my sense of humor that allows me to date pretty girls every weekend.When I'm free, I don't lack companions by my side.Girls say I'm funny.

I loved to laugh, and still do.Laughter is the global language, the link that connects all races, classes, and religions, and the best medicine. Anyway, maybe my laugh attracted Riley.She could have picked any man she wanted.Riley was beautiful, with her soft hair falling on her white shoulders, her marble face, her long, slender fingers, and her nails as beautiful as pearls, she was a goddess. I met her at a dance with my girlfriend and Riley came with another guy.It turned out that when I left, I was walking with Riley. Three months after our engagement, Davidson came into our lives.To be more precise, he entered with a "lame".He was shot in the foot by the Nazis, wore the Purple Star, and had a mustache on his handsome and clean face.

He is clever and cunning. At church on Sunday morning, he approached us for the first time.After the pastor delivered the sermon and sang the hymn, he introduced himself to us as a newcomer here, and invited us to have dinner at his home the next day.I immediately felt bad.But, in church, what can I say?Riley, in particular, was very enthusiastic. The next night, we went to his house, just the three of us, no other girls. Davidson's intentions are very clear.He was handsome and full of life, and it was love at first sight for Riley.I tried to put on a magnanimous look, but, to no avail, it was as if I wasn't there.

Riley was very happy.Although Davidson was no richer than me, he managed to put on the table food I had never eaten and wine I had never heard of.Fear and hatred intertwined in my chest almost smothered me.I couldn't eat, and Riley ate happily, completely forgetting about me as a fiancé. Shortly after the meal, we said goodbye because I had to go to work the next day and I said I needed to rest early.Davidson said that if Riley wanted to sit longer, he could take her home later.She looked at me with obvious agreement in her eyes.I said very unhappy: "This is not good." I pulled her away.

Two days later, she had dinner with him again, without me, and my jealousy turned to resentment. Riley canceled my appointment that weekend, citing a headache.Later, I called her to see if her headache was better, only to find out she wasn't home. Like I said, I like a good laugh.When they came to see me a few weeks later and Riley returned my engagement ring and told me she and Davidson were getting married, I gave a forced laugh and told them I didn't mind and we were married to Davidson. Shake hands warmly and ask what they want me to do. Davidson said that he was not familiar with the place here, and I was his only friend, so can I swallow my anger and accept the "honor" Davidson gave me.When he and Riley got married the next week, I was by his side as best man.I was smiling all the way through the ceremony, handing him the ring, kissing his bride, when in reality, my heart nearly exploded.

The wedding feast was very rich and delicious, and it was Davidson's own choice of dishes.Just as I watched Riley giggle and take a bite of the cake Davidson handed her, a thought came to me, a very bright one. I'll take revenge, Davidson stole her, stole Riley, my Riley, I'll take revenge! My laughter was genuine as I tossed rice grains at the happy newlyweds as they walked down the church steps where we met, got into their cars, and drove off. Yes, I've got my revenge, it's just... Tonight, is tonight. Over the years, I've socialized with them, and now I'm their friend and a regular at their home.Whenever they invite me to dinner, I bring cake and chocolate, as a gift.

I cared about Riley very much, encouraged her to eat, and watched the seeds of my revenge germinate, grow, bloom, and bear fruit. Tonight, just tonight, the time has come. I leaned over and patted Davidson on the shoulder, and he lifted his face, wrinkled and white-haired.I pointed to Riley, who was sitting across the room.Now she has a round body, weighs more than two hundred pounds, her skin is soft, her face is red and thick, her hands are rough, and there are many cracks... I laughed out loud... Then, I asked softly: "You can't imagine Will she turn into a petrol can?" Davidson stared at me, jealous and remorseful, he knew my wife was petite, young and beautiful.
