I was hesitant at first, aware of their reputation, but Mrs. Fuentez’s kindness made it difficult to refuse.
I found myself accepting their invitations, spending more time with Sylus.
At first, it felt like a dream. Sylus showered me with attention, picking me up for dates, buying me gifts, and giving me anything I want.
The love and affection he showed seemed genuine, and I started to open my heart to him. It felt like he was healing the wounds of my past, compensating for the loneliness I had carried for so long.
After all, his family treated me so well. They had accepted me, and his mother spoke of our future as if it was set in stone.
Then, there was his older brother, Xavier. From the moment we met, I sensed his disdain.
He never bothered to hide it, his cold glances and snide comments aimed at me whenever Sylus was not around.
But Xavier was away most of the time, studying abroad for his medical degree, and I did not see him as a threat.
In the end, Sylus and I were getting married and enjoying our married life.
However, one day, my beloved cat, which I had raised with care, was found dead because Xavier kicked it viciously.
