Seven Years of Marriage with Jake

Chapter 69

Love Story 6-Chapter 1

The school hunk, Patrick Carroll, was now dating the school belle, Yaritza Hurley.

Patrick was the top-ranked academic genius who always held the number one spot, while Yaritza was the stunning beauty who could rival Helen of Troy.

When their official relationship announcement hit, it sent the entire school into an uproar.

While the whole class buzzed with excitement, I just sat quietly in my seat, immersed in study.

Curious classmates soon gathered around me, asking, "Averie, come on, be honest! When did your brother start dating Yaritza?!"

Patrick was my brother, at least in name.

When I was six years old, my parents' company went bankrupt, forcing them to take the desperate route of jumping to their deaths.

Patrick's father, Dustin Carroll, who had been my father's business partner for many years, took me in. Since then, I have been living with their family as their daughter, Averie Carroll, in name only. "I don't know."
