Flame of Vengeance: A Gift for My Uncle's FamilyChapter 1

When I went home for Christmas this year, something outrageous happened. My uncle's family actually tried to push me into marrying my lame cousin.

"If you marry into the Slaton Family, it'll bring us closer together," they said.

I laughed it off, awkwardly. "You’re kidding, right? Blood relatives within three generations can't get married."

But then my grandmother dropped a bombshell that left me completely stunned.

"I picked you up and raised you to be Ken's wife."

This year, I was a senior, with just half a year left until graduation. Growing up, my family was really poor. They spent everything they had to keep me in school. For years, I even had to borrow tuition money from my uncle’s family.

It wasn’t just the tuition either—they covered all sorts of expenses: fees, living costs, everything. My uncle runs a business in the county and has made a lot of money over the years. He didn’t usually pay much attention to us, but every now and then, he'd call to see if I needed money. I had always been so grateful for that and my parents constantly remind me not to forget my uncle's generosity when I have a successful future.
