Chapter 3

作者: Flowering Tree
Gerald froze for a moment. Recovering his composure, he slammed his palm against the table. His voice thundered, "Giselle's acting is getting better! Barely two hours in the basement, and this is what she pulls?"

Gary remained silent for a beat before speaking, his tone uneasy. "Gerald, Giselle has asthma. Could it be…"

The two exchanged wary glances, doubt flickering in their eyes. Sophia interjected quickly, "Asthma? But hasn't Giselle always carried her medication? I don't think anything serious would happen to her."

Relief washed over Gerald and Gary, but their anger soon returned.

Gary summoned a guard. "If she keeps pretending to be unconscious after half an hour, head in and slap awake. Got it?

"She thinks fainting will spare her punishment? How naive. Once she's up, drag her here. If Giselle refuses to apologize to Sophia today, she'll rot in that basement for the rest of her life."

Sophia tugged at Gary's shirt, looking up at him pitifully. "Don't hit Giselle, Gary. She's your biological sister, and I'm just an orphan. How could she ever apologize to me?"

"What nonsense is that? To us, you mean just as much as she does. You are both my sisters," Gary said, pulling Sophia into an embrace.

Gerald approached and patted her head. "I agree. I'd rather have you as my sister than Giselle."

I thought I had grown numb to the world, but hearing those words still cut deep.

Suddenly, a guard rushed in, exclaiming, "Bad news! Mr. Green overheard the maids and discovered Ms. Giselle's whereabouts. He's at the entrance of the basement, shouting that he'll save her!"

Sophia's eyes welled with tears, while Gerald and Gary were livid.

"He's truly besotted with her! What a pity he's chosen the wrong woman!"

"Let's head to the basement. I'll make Giselle kneel and apologize to Sophia. Let's see if Zachary still wants her once she's been thoroughly humiliated."

Gerald and Gary strode out of the room. I followed in silence, listening to them hurl insults at me with every step they took.

  • My Basement Death Broke My Two Brothers   Chapter 8

    Giselle's Point of View I followed Gerald and watched as he kicked the door open. Sophia, who had been crying, immediately surged toward him as though her hero had finally arrived. "Gerald, they're accusing me of killing Giselle, but I know nothing! I'm innocent! You have to help me!"She clung to Gerald's leg and sobbed, her face a smeared mess of tears and mucus. Suddenly, she was hoisted off her feet by Gary, who had appeared behind her. "Why? Why did you frame Giselle for everything? She was your sister! Don't forget that you only came home with us because of her!" Sophia's face flushed as she dangled in midair, her legs kicking. But even after realizing she'd been exposed, she didn't flinch. A sickening grin spread across her face. "Why? Because I refuse to accept it!"What gave her the right to everyone's love? Why did the whole world have to revolve around her? She had two brothers who adored her, a line of handsome men pursuing her… "And me? I was dumped at an orph

    Third Person Point of View Gerald and Gary thought they'd misheard. Murder? Before they could react, Zachary punched them. "You monsters! I'll kill you today!" Fueled by rage, he slammed Gerald to the floor, raining blows with unrestrained fury. Gary rushed forward to intervene, but Zachary's kick sent him crashing into the corner. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Eventually, the police stepped in and dragged Zachary away. Only then did the brothers exhale in relief. "Why would you do this? She was your sister! I thought Sophia was the little bitch causing trouble, but who knew you two contributed to her abuse? She was your biological sister. How could you do that to her?" Zachary had never been eloquent, but he didn't need to be. He was sobbing like a child, and his raw anguish was enough to make even the stoic policemen tear up.Gerald and Gary were stunned, unable to process what was happening before they were shoved into a police car. In the interrogati

  • My Basement Death Broke My Two Brothers   Chapter 6

    Third Person Point of View Half an hour after Zachary had left, Sophia was still crying. Suddenly, Gerald felt a flicker of annoyance. Gary didn't feel like consoling her either. They sat with their backs against the corridor wall leading to the basement, too drained to move. Staring at the bloodstains beneath the door and the scuff marks on the metal bars, they felt as though a stake had been driven through their hearts. Giselle had been alive only hours ago. Now she was gone. How could they ever face their parents in the afterlife after swearing to protect her for the rest of her life?As their expressions darkened, a heavy silence settled over the corridor. No one dared to speak, save for Sophia. She approached Gary and said, "We should head upstairs. The guests are still waiting." Anger flared in Gary. Giselle had just passed away, yet all Sophia could think about was the guests. Gerald's usual gentleness was gone, replaced by a chilling frost. "Sophia, your sister j

    Third Person Point of View "Giselle… Giselle…" "Giselle!" Zachary shoved Gerald and Gary aside, rushing to the corner where Giselle's lifeless body lay. He gathered her into his arms, his scalding tears splattering onto her pale face as he sobbed uncontrollably. Gerald's face was as white as a ghost. He stumbled backward, his voice trembling as he asked, "How could… How could this happen to Giselle?" Gary pushed past him and sprinted toward the body, screaming, "Get a doctor! Quick!" "It's too late. She's already dead." Zachary's voice dripped with devastation. Dead? Their sister was dead? Gerald swayed on his feet, while Gary collapsed beside the body, clutching Giselle and crying until he nearly fainted. "Sorry… I'm sorry. I shouldn't have locked you in the basement…" Gerald turned around, his eyes blown wide. He seized a guard by the collar. "Why didn't anyone tell us about this? What do we even pay you for?"The guard fell to his knees, begging for mercy. Th

    The moment Gerald and Gary approached, Zachary swung at Gary. "You locked her up? Don't you know she has asthma? You're murderers!" His voice cracked with fury, and watching his desperation made a lump rise in my throat. Zachary and I had grown up together, and he had harbored feelings for me for years. But every time I tried to return his affection, Sophia would intervene. Before a date with Zachary, she would pour paint all over me. She would even throw his gifts for me into the drain. Because of her, my relationship with Zachary had always been rocky. My brothers had no idea; they simply thought I was trying to steal Sophia's man.Gerald wanted to punch Zachary, but he held himself back when he saw Sophia. Straightening his collar, he forced his anger down. "Mr. Green, don't meddle in our family's affairs. Giselle was locked up because she did something wrong." "Something wrong?" Zachary roared, his voice echoing through the corridor. "I've heard about this. All this be
