Killing My Lover

Synopsis

Seven years after my brother died, I became the most pampered kept lover of Jason Morrow, one of the most important figures of the capital's elite circle. People whispered behind my back that I was a shameless gold-digging leech. They weren't totally wrong. All I wanted was his money, his power, his influence. But there was something they didn't know. I wasn't after Jason's heart. I was after his life. Seven years ago, my brother—dressed as a female lead—brought the house down in a musical performance that made Jason smile. One smile. That was all it took to spark jealousy in Jason's childhood sweetheart. To please her, Jason had people force-feed my brother concentrated sulfuric acid. It burned through my brother's mouth, throat, and stomach until it killed him. When he died, Jason's sweetheart looked at my brother's disfigured body and sneered, "Oh. He was a guy? Gross." Then they came to me, pointing at the mangled corpse, and said, "Your brother accidentally drank acid. He's dead." But my brother made his living performing. He protected his voice like it was his life. He wouldn't even drink soda, let alone "accidentally" swallow acid. Did Jason and his sweetheart think I'd ever believe their lie? Unbelievable.
