Part 1: The Sweetest Revenge Storyline
The Sweetest Revenge, David, the protagonist, started to be belittled by his mother-in-law as soon as he wed Kate. Every morning he would start his day off with an insult. David didn’t respond and just bowed his head down. For him, Rosie deserves respect no matter what is said to him. After all, his wife Kate was paying for his father’s medication because his family wasn’t as wealthy as Kate’s. He also has hope that Rosie will warm up to him eventually. David was merely a regular employee who struggled to keep up. However, David reached his temper when one time, he couldn’t take the old woman’s harsh words about him being a burden and even comparing Kate to a wealthy man. David snapped. Rosie badly hurt his ego. He heads out and quickly goes to his father, who is being treated in the hospital, to get away from his mother-in-law. However, fate always has a way of digging a pit for him when the hospital declines to heal his father because he lacks the funds to pay for additional medications. David was at a loss for what to do. He cried out for a miracle to occur, and an angel abruptly heard him. A man called him and claimed to be the owner of a company and a fortune left to him by his mother, whom he never sees.
David was skeptical of the information he had just been given. But, when her mom’s butler called to inform him that he had transferred 8 million dolls to his account—more than his father needed—he began sobbing. Everything is real, he is not dreaming! David immediately instructed the nurse angrily to move his father to the hospital’s VIP room after he was made to feel bad for not paying the hospital bill on time. He was about to lose it, but he collected himself. He felt terrible about how he looked and was treated.
To make things clear, after David has taken care of his father, he meets the butler. He was shocked to learn that he was the son of one of Dubai’s wealthiest people, making him a very wealthy person’s son. How is that even possible? His questions were immediately answered by the butler that his mother had been looking for him for a long time. David expressed gratitude but also recognized the significant responsibilities that come with the impending ownership of businesses and properties. Now that he has money, he made a pact with himself that he would get even with his tormentors. They all deserve the sweetest revenge.
Being the son of a billionaire was an up-and-down experience for David because everyone was watching, especially their competitors’ businesses. He also got to know Sugar, his wittily charming little sister. As the situation got stressful for him, David couldn’t stop thinking of Kate. He still has feelings for her, but it is wrong to rely on someone you thought would always be by your side at your lowest point. However, David’s marriage was on the verge of breaking, and money caused him to drown in revenge. Will his heart of kindness be eaten by vengeance, or will his love win out in the end?
Part 2: What Makes the Story The Sweetest Revenge Interesting?
The Sweetest Revenge excels in the married couple scenario because of its realistic plot line. Even though it’s common to have evil in-laws, the antagonist in this tale is the woman’s mother.
Reality dictates that it still occurs even when there is no financial component. Readers will learn from this tale that being too kind is bad and that when you are repeatedly mistreated, you eventually reach your breaking point.
However, David’s retaliation is illogical because there is no justification for cheating, which is a sin.
The sweetest revenge is not to take revenge. Let them lose their breath through your kindness. On Kate’s side, blood is thicker than water, but marriage is thicker than blood. The moment she marries David, it should be David who she should prioritize. She clearly neglected his husband and brought him down to David’s lowest.
