“Elder Sister, please, I beg you… Let me go. What you’re doing is wrong. Please, just listen to me!” Rose pleadeil desperately, her voice trembling with fear. She knew all too well the extent of her elder sister’s madness–the terrifying depths of Stella’s cruelty.

Lily, or rather Stella in this moment, was not someone to reason with. Her wild, untamed persona had surfaced, and Rose knew that trying to appeal to her rationality was furile. Memories of her sister’s cold and ruthless actions played in her mind, and now, with Stella holding a gun and completely consumed by rage, Rose’s terror only deepened.

“Let you go?”

you go?” Lily repeated, her tone laced with disdain. A bitter sneer twisted her lips. “Why on earth would I do that? As your elder sister, isn’t it my duty to punish you for your crimes? Tell me, Hannah, do you even realize the magnitude of what you’ve done?”

Lily’s piercing glare locked onto Rose, her voice rising with each accusation. “Crime number one falling in love with Lucas. Crime number two: stealing the man who was supposed to be mine. Crime number three: running away with my Lucas. And the worst of all, the one I can never forgive you for…” Her voice cracked with fury. “You secretly married him. You married Lucas!”

Rose’s heart pounded violently in her chest as she tried to muster some courage. “E–Elder Sister, please calm down,” she stammered, forcing her trembling hands to subtly work at loosening the ropes around her wrists. “Let’s go home. We can talk about this. We’ll work it out together.”

“Work it out?” Lily spat, her lips curling into a bitter smile. “You think this is something we can talk about? Don’t you get it, Hannah? Lucas was mine. He has always been mine. And yet, you–my own sister- betrayed me!” Her voice faltered slightly, and her eyes glistened with unshed tears. “I loved you, Hannah. After our parents died, you were the only family I had left. I adored you. I gave you everything. So why? Why would you betray me like this?”

Rose, overwhelmed with fear and guilt, could only shake her head as tears streamed down her face. Her voice caught in her throat, rendering her silent.

“ANSWER ME!” Lily suddenly screamed, her voice filled with anguish. “DID I EVER DO ANYTHING TO
