I Won't Sacrifice My Future for Him Chapter 9
For a long time after that, Alia updated her Instagram feed relentlessly. It was as if she had truly replaced me and stepped smoothly into the role of the ideal daughter in that household.Sometimes I would leave a like, though most of the time her posts didn't even show up on my feed.After a while, those updates vanished completely.The year I got into graduate school, Trevon sent me a message. "We took her in out of kindness, but she actually tried to usurp your place. Mom and Dad couldn't take it, so they kicked her out."I hadn't expected that, though I still left the text unanswered.A few years passed, and Mom and Dad began trying to reach out to me again.They showered me with endless check-ins, full of remorse and apologies.By then, however, my life was entirely consumed by work, leaving me with barely any time to read their messages.One day, Trevon texted me. "Mom broke a bone. She really wants you to come back and see her."I transferred over ten thousand dollars

Once orientation was over, classes officially began.I spent my days moving between the classroom, cafeteria, and library, feeling fulfilled and content.One Friday afternoon, as my roommate Zoe Reid and I were leaving class, we unexpectedly crossed paths with Evan.He stood under the shade of a tree in a plain white t-shirt. That face of his turned heads as easily as ever.Knowing I couldn't avoid him, I stopped in front of him and asked flatly, "How did you know I was here?"He lowered his gaze, unable to hide the desolation between his brows. "I asked someone for your major's class schedule."I nodded, unsure of what he wanted.Noticing my irritation, he quickly pulled a box out of his pocket. He opened it to reveal a bracelet.He bit his lip and said cautiously, "I bought this abroad… I know I messed up and made you suffer. I'm sorry."Zoe gasped, covering her mouth frantically to suppress her excitement.I could tell it was far more expensive than the basic one he had gi

Trevon suddenly looked up at me, his expression filled with conflicting emotions.Alia tugged anxiously at his sleeve. "Trevon, say something. Tell Yelena she's got it wrong."Trevon yanked his arm free and stared at her as if seeing her true colors for the very first time. "Evan only asked you to pass along his apology. Why did you say all those strange things?"Alia forced a tight expression. "I just didn't want Yelena to get the wrong idea."Refusing to be dragged into their argument, I calmly shut the door in their faces.Hours later, a folded letter was slid through the gap beneath my door.Unfolding it, I recognized Trevon's handwriting immediately."I remember when we were little and stayed at Grandma's house together. You were fed that piece of shrimp and rushed to the hospital."Back then, I thought I was going to lose you, and I cried for hours. When you recovered, I swore to myself that I would always protect you…"The letter spanned two full pages, but I only gave

On the day of the celebration dinner, Evan's parents rushed back from overseas.When they heard that I had been accepted into Jovelle University, their eyes were filled with pure pride.Evan's mother went so far as to take off the beautiful emerald bracelet from her wrist right then and there.The gesture caught everyone around us off guard, and Mom quickly put a hand over hers. "This is way too precious.""It's fine! Yelena is such an incredible young lady. I just need to lay claim to her early!"After a bit of back-and-forth, the adults finally passed the bracelet to me, their faces full of delight.Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, I shook my head and took a step back. "Mrs. Harper, this isn't appropriate. You should save it for the right person in the future."The Harpers tried to insist, but I put my hands behind my back, firmly refusing to take it no matter what they said.During the second half of dinner, I stood up to use the restroom.When I stepped out, Ev

Mom caught on a moment too late. Setting the basic laptop in my hand aside, she threw her arms around me intimately. "With a 1,455, how could you possibly use such an ordinary laptop? Come on, I'll take you to get the latest model!"I froze.Whenever I watched Mom hug Alia, I couldn't help wondering what it felt like. Mom must have smelled nice. Actually, she used to hold me when I was little too, but it had been so long that I had completely forgotten what it felt like.As that long-absent warmth pressed against me, all I felt was total unfamiliarity.I gently broke free from her hold. "There's no need. I'm a humanities major, so anything that can look up reference material and write papers is fine."That was clearly what they had thought in the first place, yet now that I said it out loud myself, they refused to listen."You're going to Jovelle University! You deserve this. Trevon and Alia have theirs, so you need to have yours too."Unable to talk them out of it, I was dr

On the day of our return flight, we received calls notifying us that our university acceptance letters had been delivered.Once we got home, the three of them tore theirs open first. Unsurprisingly, all three held identical acceptance letters.Alia squealed with joy and threw herself into Evan's arms. "This is amazing, Evan! The four of us get to go to school together again!"As if suddenly remembering my presence, she scrambled back in a panic. "I'm so sorry, Yelena. I was just so happy."Her tone was as innocent as ever, but her eyes held a spark of smug satisfaction she could no longer hide."Hurry up and open yours! All four of ours are the same. Don't blame Evan. I was the one who begged him."Trevon just watched in silence.Evan bit his lip, looking anxious. "Don't be mad… At least the four of us can look out for each other."I had been far too calm these past few days, and my composure seemed to make him uneasy.He hurriedly pulled a bookmark out of his bag and shoved i
