Abandoned Sister: Backed by the Nation Chapter 8
Staring at that familiar, massive crater, I let out a long, heavy sigh. In a flash, my body felt lighter, and I realized I could finally leave. Without a moment's hesitation, I spun around and left. Elio's anguished roar echoed behind me, "Maeve Langston!"It seemed he had finally figured out the reason behind my departure. Fortunately, when I walked out that door, I had taken everything that belonged to me. I hadn't touched anything that wasn't mine.The only things they recovered were that platinum ring and my farewell letter. That was all that was left of me. …After returning home, Elio stumbled his way up to the attic. Spotting the suitcase I had left behind, he dissolved into tears and fell to his knees with a heavy thud. Mom, on the other hand, wailed, "I had no idea Maeve endured so much abuse under our roof. It's all our fault! Where's Melina, that bitch? Bring her here right now and make her beg Maeve for forgiveness on her knees!" The three of them brought Melina

When the officer handed them the video, Elio's expression darkened more than everyone else's. It was the surveillance footage from the swimming pool. Melina had deliberately jumped into the water, only to turn around and frame me. The very next second, Elio kicked me into the pool. Because I was on my period and I was forced to spend most of the night freezing in the water, I eventually passed out. Confronted with the truth, his composure cracked. "Melina… Why did you lie to me?"After watching the footage, Mom and Dad were enraged. Both of them dragged Melina over and slapped her more than a dozen times before kicking Elio out of the living room. "Monsters… Both of you are literal monsters! Oh, my poor Maeve!"The officers stepped in and immediately took Melina into custody. Ever since I suffered at Melina's hands the first time, I had walked on eggshells every single time I interacted with her. It was just a shame that when I finally caught her on camera the first time and sh

I hovered right next to Elio, staring him down. "You're a piece of shit, Elio!"Unfortunately, they couldn't hear me. If they could, I would've slapped the living daylights out of him. Looking at Melina's face, I pondered for a moment and raised my hand, swinging it down hard. Regrettably, it only stirred up a gust of wind and had no effect at all. After finishing their meal, Elio and Melina headed back home. Upon learning that I hadn't gone to the apartment, Mom and Dad were absolutely livid. "We never should have brought her back in the first place! We should have beaten some manners into her the moment she set foot in this house. Perhaps she wouldn't be such a headache now!" "Where could a young lady like her even go? Hurry up and track her down! Lest she meet with some mishap and embarrass us."Elio readily agreed, "I know, Mom. Don't worry. I will make sure she comes back."Just then, the doorbell rang. The butler answered the door, only to be met by the sight of severa

A split second later, Melina scrolled past it. If the siblings had lingered for even a second longer, perhaps they would have seen that among the personal effects displayed by the search and rescue personnel was a platinum ring that belonged to me. Mom had given it to me shortly after I returned home. She'd told me she was sorry for all the hardships I'd been through, and since I had spent so many years away from her, she wanted me to have it. She'd explained that all the children in the Langston family owned one, and mine even had my name engraved on it.I'd accepted her goodwill, only for Melina to dissolve into tears, sobbing about how guilty she felt. At the time, I was rooted to the spot in sheer awkwardness, while everyone rushed to comfort Melina, completely leaving me out in the cold. As soon as Elio wrapped up his work, he took Melina to the performance, and I had no choice but to tag along. To be honest, I wasn't all that interested in stage plays, but Melina loved the
Abandoned Sister: Backed by the Nation Chapter 4
My body felt as light as air. Looking down at the massive crater on the ground, along with the severed limbs strewn everywhere and the burning wreckage of the aircraft, I realized that the plane I was on had crashed. Not a single soul had made it out alive. I was about to take a closer look when my body floated upward against my will. In the blink of an eye, I found myself right beside Elio. The moment I saw him, I couldn't help but knit my brows tightly in sheer disappointment. I had foolishly thought that after dying, I'd be able to drift across the world and at least take in some beautiful scenery. Yet, I had been brought right back to Elio's side.At that moment, they still had no idea that I was already dead. Elio sat in his office reviewing documents and casually asked, "Has she arrived at the apartment?"His assistant shook his head. "I'm not sure. I'll check right away.""Don't bother. It's not like she has anywhere else to go besides that apartment anyway. She threw a

I was absolutely ecstatic. Counting down the days, I realized I only had one week left. Right then, Melina barged in. "Come party with me, Maeve!"Looking at her skimpy outfit and full face of makeup, I instinctively refused, "No, I'm busy."I had to earn money. Establishments like the ones she visited were beyond my means. Melina, however, closed the distance between us. "Is that so? Are you really busy, or are you trying to sever ties with me? Oh, you're actually planning to study abroad?" Realizing she had seen my laptop screen, I hurriedly closed it. Meeting her mocking smile, I confessed, "Yes, I'm going to study abroad and leave your family! That way, you don't have to worry anymore. I won't do anything to upset you."Melina stared intently at me. "I hope you keep your word." With that, she spun on her heel and left.I breathed a sigh of relief. However, half an hour later, the door to the attic was kicked open. Elio stormed in, followed by Melina, whose eyes were t
