“What’s it going to be, Hannah? Yes or no? Life or death?” Lily’s voice rang out coldly, cutting through the

tense air.

Rose remained frozen, trembling under the weight of her sister’s demand. Her silence only seemed to further fuel Lily’s impatience. “I don’t have all day, Hannah!” she snapped, her tone growing harsher. “Will you

leave Lucas or not? Yes or no?”

Finally, Rose broke her silence, her voice shaking but resolute. “No!” she shouted. “I won’t leave him. I’d

rather die!”

Lily’s reaction was unexpected. She began clapping slowly, her face twisting into a sinister smile. “Well, well,” she sneered. “Exactly what I thought you’d say. You always have to make things difficult, don’t you? You know, you really do bring out the worst in me. Now, thanks to you, I’m stuck being the ‘bad guy‘ who has to kill her own little sister.”

Rose’s courage faltered, and she began to plead. “No, Elder Sister… Please don’t do this. Don’t kill me. I’m begging you!”

You’ll disappear, just like that.” Her voice became softer, almost tender, as she began to lay out her twisted plan. “After a while, Lucas will come to me, heartbroken and desperate. Of course, I’ll act like I’m doing everything in my power to find you. I’ll cry, I’ll search, I’ll pretend… for as long as it takes. Maybe it’ll be weeks, months, even years. But eventually, he’ll forget you. Slowly, surely, I’ll help him heal”

She gave a cruel laugh, her eyes glinting with triumph. “And then, dear little sister, Lucas will be mine. He won’t remember you. I’ll make sure of it.”

sudden burst of defiance lit up Rose’s face. She let out a bitter, mocking laugh. “You’re delusional, Elder Sister. Truly delusional. Do you honestly believe that killing me will make Lucas love you? You’re living in a
