Tears streamed down my face. I once thought I was the luckiest, having loving parents, a caring brother and a lover who cherished me.
It turned out everything was just an illusion, easily broken. I could’ve stayed in this world with my family, but now I wanted to return. “One last question; why did you wait until the wedding day to tell me the truth, after already having me?”
“Because Emily couldn’t accept it, she made me keep it a secret.”
I laughed. “How thoughtful! She told you to reveal it on the wedding day, so I’d sit there in my dress like a fool. Wasn’t that just to humiliate me?”
“Nonsense! Emily isn’t as cunning as you think!”
I gave a bitter smile. “Not scheming? She’s faked suicide countless times since coming home. Anyone who truly wants to die doesn’t need saving!”
“Shut up! How can you talk about your sister like that!” Dad raised his hand to hit me, but Mom stopped him.
“Stop! Katherine’s badly hurt. Don’t hit her.”
“Dad, I’m your daughter too. You raised me with love. Just because I’m not your biological child, doesn’t mean I don’t deserve your trust.”
“You said your sister had you beaten? Do you expect me to believe such a lie?”
