Chapter 6

作者: Shirley
My brothers had once begged me to die. I didn't want to see the disappointment in their eyes again.

So, I panicked, pushed myself up from the stone steps, and tried to run away.

But my body wouldn't obey. I was in pain and dizzy. After just two steps, my knees gave way, and I tumbled to the ground.

"Piper!"

A panicked shout reached my ears. The next second, I fell into an embrace smelling of cedar.

Leaning against that solid chest, I dazedly looked at the lapel of the man's suit.

  • I’m Just Their Freak   Chapter 9

    Later I found out that the reason my brothers cried that day was that the doctor had finally gotten my latest blood test report. The internal injuries left from falling off the cliff, combined with my severe blood disorder, had reached an incurable stage.The day after the report came out, Vivian was sent away.I heard she cried and threw a massive fit, smashing everything in her room. But this time, Wyatt and Cole were not softhearted in the slightest.The doctors around me were always sighing and shaking their heads, not even daring to look me in the eye.Even as clumsy as I was, I knew. It seemed I was truly going to die.Also during those few days, I heard that on the very first day Hunter took the blood-covered Sadie back, he found out she had willingly sold him out. He shattered her kneecaps and threw her back into the slums.Hunter went crazy trying to see me, but Wyatt and Cole issued shoot-on-sight orders to keep him out.They sent the syndicate's best gunmen to guard the hosp

    When I woke up again, the smell of disinfectant hit my nose.I opened my eyes. The hospital room was terrifyingly quiet.There was movement at the door. I looked up and saw Vivian with red, swollen eyes.I hadn't seen her in seven years, and I felt a bit dazed.She wore an exquisitely tailored dress and sparkling earrings. Even the tips of her hair were perfectly styled.It was obvious that for the past seven years, my brothers had raised her very well.I felt a little proud in my heart, but also a little sad.In my fuzzy memories, my two brothers once lifted me high up and smiled."When our Piper grows up, we will definitely raise her to be the happiest princess in the world!"Brothers, you really did raise a princess.It's just that the princess wasn't me."You are a jinx. How dare you come back?""Wyatt and Cole fought with Hunter's men because of you. The alliance between our families is completely ruined.""Now the whole syndicate is in chaos. Wyatt and Cole are both injured. Are

    Wyatt's bodyguards in the shadows instantly drew their weapons, forming a tense standoff with Hunter's men on the street. The two usually high-and-mighty Dons were now brawling on the ground.I was terrified and looked up to beg Cole."Cole, make them stop. No shooting, no fighting, okay?"But Cole merely held me tightly in his arms and quickly retreated into the safety of the shadows, away from the chaotic battlefield.He cast a cold glance at Hunter, then looked down, gently covering my eyes with his palm. His voice was very soft."Piper, don't be afraid. He asked for this.""You were right here in this city, but we searched for seven whole years and found nothing.""It was Hunter who used his power as the Don to erase all your records. He hid you in the most secretive estate and never disclosed your identity to the public.""He hid you away. For seven whole years.""He is a dead man."I froze in Cole's arms, my sluggish brain becoming even more unable to comprehend my brother's word

The next second, I fell into an embrace smelling of cedar.Leaning against that solid chest, I dazedly looked at the lapel of the man's suit.I used to have a silver cross brooch that I treasured dearly. It was a lucky charm from my brothers.So when I was fourteen, I polished an identical one by hand and gave it to Cole playfully.From then on, he always wore the gift I gave him on his lapel.Until Vivian was adopted into the family. She whined, complaining that her skin was always scratched by the edge of the cross when they hugged.So, Cole took off the charm he had worn for years and never wore it again.Ever since then, his suit lapels were alw

    I tilted my head up proudly."See, I'm actually not that dumb."My brain is slow, but I can always remember things very well after experiencing them once.I remember back then, Wyatt and Cole also held my hands with teary eyes, telling me how much Vivian suffered out there and how pitiful she was.I was so naive then that I thought my brothers were just sharing secrets with me, so I nodded happily.But the day after that talk, I was the only one left in the massive estate.Under the sympathetic gazes of the butlers, I finally realized that my brothers had taken Vivian on vacation, leaving me behind.Did I cry that day? I forgot.I only remember that similar things happened more and more often after that.I gradually got used to staying in the estate alone, waiting for the three of them to return noisily.I also got used to accepting the arrangements of fate, just like an insignificant object.So, Hunter, you don't need to worry.I may be clumsy, but my biggest strength is being very go

    He raised his hand, wanting to touch my face.I didn't know what he was going to do. I was so scared that I quickly closed my eyes, shrank into the corner of the bed, and curled up defensively.Hunter's hand froze in mid-air. I shivered, too afraid to move.After a very long time, I finally heard this usually arrogant Don ask a hoarse, extremely strained question."Piper, are you... afraid of me?"Looking at his expression, I instinctively apologized. "I'm sorry."As soon as the words left my mouth, Hunter's expression looked even worse. He spoke in a raspy voice."Piper, don't say you are sorry to me.""I told you I don't allow you to just apologize so casually."I bit my pale lips, staying silent and not daring to make a sound.Hunter stared at me intently. He closed his eyes for a moment before continuing, "Piper, I'm sorry. I lost control of my emotions last night and hurt you.""I have already... taken my punishment according to syndicate laws.""So please, don't be afraid of me,
