Chapter 10

작가: Sudden Rain
Fiona shut down all the shady operations within her company and disbanded the bodyguards who had done her dirty work.

On the surface, Fiona seemed to be her old self again. She was back to being the decisive, no-nonsense CEO, spending her days holding meetings, reviewing reports, and chewing people out. But I knew she wasn't the same anymore.

There were no longer any trophies celebrating her success in her office. Instead, my black-and-white portrait occupied the most prominent spot.

  • For My Sister's Glory, I Became Scum   Chapter 11

    Inside were a voice recorder and a letter. The letter was from Walter."Ms. Carter, by the time you receive this letter, I'll probably be dead. There are things I need to tell you, about Billy and about myself. I'm not a border trader, and I'm not a police informant. I was once a father, too."My son was a few years older than Billy. He was a bright boy who got into a prestigious university. The year he graduated, he was lured to Northern Marova by the promise of a high-paying job. He never came home."I spent ten years looking for him. In the end, all I found were his bones in a mass grave. I hated those monsters for what they'd done, and I hated myself for being powerless to stop them."After that, I stayed near the border and began keeping watch on the human traffickers. I couldn't save everyone, but I was determined to save as many as I could."The day I met Billy, he was preparing to die in your place. When I looked at him, I saw my own son as he'd been all those years ago.

But I knew she wasn't the same anymore.There were no longer any trophies celebrating her success in her office. Instead, my black-and-white portrait occupied the most prominent spot.Late at night, when everyone else had gone home, Fiona would sit in front of my photo and talk until morning.She would talk about how she'd bullied me when we were kids, even stealing my lollipop. Then, she'd remember how I'd scrimped and saved while she was in college, sending her all the money I had to live on.Fiona would tell me how deeply she regretted everything and how much she missed me. Whenever she did, I would hover beside her, longing to hold her. But every time I reached for her, my arms

    Fiona smiled, and Drake found it more terrifying than the devil himself."Drake, you seem awfully concerned about the law now. Where was that concern five years ago, when you were dealing with my brother? Did you care about the law when you sold him off like livestock? Or when you took his kidney and used him to smuggle drugs?"With each accusation, she moved closer. He stumbled backward in fear until he found himself trapped against the cold railing."It… It wasn't my fault! The boss at the scam center ordered me to do it. I was just following orders.""Then, why don't you follow mine for a change?"Fiona took off her sunglasses, revealing eyes so bloodshot and cold that they seemed devoid of all emotion."Don't worry. I'm not going to kill you. That would be letting you off too easily."She waved a hand, and several burly bodyguards immediately stepped forward. They grabbed Drake and his men, roughly dragged them to the ground, and pinned them down.Fiona took out a satell

    It was a crooked little star made from a bullet casing."Billy secretly made this for me while he was recovering in the infirmary. He said whenever I looked at it, it would remind me that there was still hope," the young woman said."He also said his sister was destined for great things. One day, she'd shine so brightly that everyone would notice her."Fiona swayed, nearly losing her balance.At last, she had no tears left to shed. In their place was a fierce, consuming hatred.She gripped the bullet-casing star so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Then, she reached up and gently touched my goofy, smiling face in the black-and-white portrait."Billy."Her voice was soft, but the unnatural calm in it was chilling."I'm done crying. I won't shed another tear from this day forward. I have money and influence now. You don't have to worry.""Every single person who mistreated you, everyone who ever made you suffer… I'll make sure none of them gets away with it."I hovered be

    The truth was, it didn't hurt as much anymore. It really didn't.All those things I'd written about in my emails, the big motorcycle, getting married, having a son… None of it was real. I'd imagined it all while trapped in that dark, flooded cell, barely conscious from the electric shocks.I couldn't let Fiona find out the truth. Knowing what I'd been through would only leave her consumed by guilt and pain. I wanted her to hate me with all her heart. If hating me meant she'd stay away from that place and everything I'd suffered there, at least she'd have a chance to live a good life.By the time Fiona stopped vomiting, she was completely drained. Her legs gave way, and she collapsed to her knees.With trembling hands, she gathered the scattered bones into her arms and pressed my shriveled head tightly against her chest.Her fingernails dug into her palms, drawing blood, but she didn't even notice.Fiona's anguished, almost animal-like cries were the only sounds echoing through

    Walter took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly."So, he stole some old clothes you'd packed to change into and put on your wig. The next morning, he went with the recruiters, pretending to be you."The car fell deathly silent.Fiona jerked her head up, her eyes widening in shock. Her lips trembled as she struggled to get the words out."Are you saying… the 'Fiona Carter' who went to Northern Marova with those recruiters… was actually Billy?"I hovered in the back seat, watching the horror and disbelief on her face. I let out a silent sigh.Fiona, I looked nothing like you. Back then, I was skinny and tanned, while you were stunning. But I had no other choice.When they discovered I was a man, they didn't let me go. They accused me of deceiving them and treated me even worse.They beat me half to death, then locked me in a flooded cell. They said men had their uses, too.Only then did I realize that hell really did exist on earth.The morgue at the police station was
