Their Love Was My Curse Novel – The Weston brothers had always treated me like I was their whole world. They would’ve torn each other apart just for a chance to marry me, yet when I was suffering from a malignant brain tumor, they vanished without a trace. The surgery might affect my memory.
I didn’t want to forget them, so I reached out for help. When the call finally connected, all I got was him yelling at me. “Chloe Reed, it’s Hannah’s birthday today. Can you stop ruining it for once?” The pain was so bad I blacked out. When I woke up in the hospital, I saw a new message from Hannah Shaw on my phone.
Hannah: [Chloe, the brothers gave me three silver pendants to keep me safe.] In the photo were three small silver pendants—the ones I had dragged myself to that hilltop church for, spending seven straight hours on my knees in the pouring rain, bowing and praying every few steps just to get them for the three brothers. That was when I finally gave up on them. I flew to another country alone, had the surgery, and let them fade from my mind.
Until one day, I opened my front door and saw three men I could barely recognize kneeling outside my house, begging like mad for my forgiveness. *** When I got home from the hospital, the first thing I did was call my aunt overseas. “Aunt Linda, I’ve made up my mind,” I said. “I’m coming to stay with you. Please help me find a leading neurosurgery hospital.
I’m going to have the surgery.” The moment she heard I was having surgery, Aunt Linda’s voice tightened with panic, and she quickly asked what was going on. “It’s nothing,” I forced out a laugh, pushing down how weak I felt. “It’s just a brain tumor, that’s all.” “A tumor in your head is ‘nothing’? Chloe, that is not something small. Do the Weston brothers know about this?” Just hearing their names sent a sharp, nameless ache flooding through my chest, and a few tears slipped from the corners of my eyes.
“Forget it. Don’t tell them, Aunt Linda.” Aunt Linda went quiet for a long moment and finally sighed. “All right. I’ll buy you a ticket for two weeks from now. Come to me as soon as you can and let me take care of you properly.” The tears wouldn’t stop. At this point, other than my aunt, there was no one left who cared about me like this. Right after I hung up, a light, teasing female voice floated in from the doorway.
“What do you mean ‘as soon as you can,’ Chloe? What are you plotting now?” Hannah strolled in at a lazy pace, three small silver pendants dangling from her fingers. I blinked hard, forcing my tears back, and said coldly, “What does it have to do with you? Why are you in my house?” She pouted, her face full of wounded innocence.
“Chloe, didn’t Liam tell you? I haven’t been feeling well, so I’m going to stay here for a few days.” Then she suddenly leaned in close. Her pitiful look vanished, her eyes gleaming with open challenge. “Take a guess—how much longer do you think it’ll take before I replace you?” She invaded my personal space, and every instinct in me screamed, so I pushed her away on reflex.
Hannah stumbled back a full six feet as if I’d shoved her with all my strength, her head cracking against the wardrobe with a loud thud. Blood immediately streamed down her forehead as she cried out in pain, “Chloe, I only came up here to check on you. Even if you don’t like me, you didn’t have to get physical!” Her wounded, piercing screams instantly drew the three brothers’ attention downstairs.
Liam Weston was the first to rush into the room to check on her. “Hannah, are you okay? Where does it hurt? I’ll call a doctor right now.” Noah Weston barreled in right behind him. “Have them bring a therapist too. We can’t let this leave you with any kind of trauma.” Caleb Weston glared at me, his eyes burning with fury as he snapped, “Chloe, I never thought you were this kind of person. Hannah just wanted to tell you some funny stories from her birthday yesterday, and you actually hit her.
How can you be so vicious?” Watching all three brothers side with Hannah without even trying to hide it, I felt like I’d just been dropped into an ice-cold lake.
