On the day of my mate-bonding ceremony, my parents suddenly brought my mate home and told me the marking ceremony that day would be with someone else. “Your sister was poisoned by wolfsbane. There's no cure, and her dying wish is to become David’s mate.” “You’re her older sister. Can’t you be kind and help her out?” My mate also tried to persuade me. “Don’t worry, it’s just for show. After she dies, we’ll still be each other’s one and only.” Still, I refused. However, my parents forced me to drink a potion that blocked my mind link, tied me up, and threw me into the silver mine behind our villa. “We’ll untie you once the ceremony goes smoothly,” they said. But soon after they left, I was attacked by a vicious rogue wolf. After endless torment, I was killed. It was only when my body started rotting that they remembered I was still bound in the mine.

Her tongue was like a blade dipped in poison.Seeing they had come, Lucy patted the dust off her clothes and got up to leave.My family laid the food in front of my tombstone and began talking to me.Mom had cried herself blind. My parents were hunched over, their bodies frail and trembling.David, once in the prime of his life, now had graying hair, worn by time. He had none of the charm I once fell for.As they spoke, my mother began crying again. They could only console her and slowly help her away.In front of the tombstone, all kinds of candies, beautiful dresses, photos of me on a seaside trip, and that ring were all neatly placed.So my parents did know what I loved most as a child, what I had always longed for.They also knew that even little children could feel pain. However, they had chosen to ignore my feelings an
Lucy gently caressed my urn. A warm tear splashed onto the surface.Inside, I was a mess of emotions.“Eva, when we were kids, you saved me from that nightmare attic. Now, it’s my turn to save you. From now on, can you visit me more in my dreams?“Without you, life is so lonely. I wish it was me who died. You were so talented and kind. You should’ve had a happy life…”More and more tears fell onto the urn.Lucy crouched down like a child who had lost her home, taken in, treated like family, only to be discarded again.She stood at a crossroads, unsure of where to turn.I stood beside her, gently stroking her hair.“I’m sorry, Lucy. In the end, I lost. I was fooled by false love and let you down.”“Sweetheart! Be a good girl! Please give Eva back to Auntie! I’m begging you!”Behind us, my parents and David came running, gasping for breath.Mom dropped to her knees with hands clasped in prayer, begging Lucy to put down the urn.However, Lucy only clutched it tighter, her face
Laura was cuffed, and the onlooking neighbors whispered among themselves.My parents were weeping uncontrollably, beating their chests in despair and staring at their daughter, who had murdered her own sister for selfish desire.They no longer knew what to say.From childhood, their youngest daughter had always been sweet and well-behaved. When had she turned so vicious and cold-blooded?“Mom, Dad! Please save me! Hurry and get a lawyer to write a letter of forgiveness. My sister is already dead. I’m your only child now!”Laura suddenly dropped to her knees, trembling, a wet patch spreading under her skirt.It turned out she was afraid of death, too. She knew how precious life was.Mom staggered forward and kneeled, looked her in the eyes, and gently stroked her hair. Then she slapped her across the face again and again.With every blow, she repeated, “A life for a life!”Just moments ago, Laura had been so scared that she wet herself. Suddenly, she shoved my mom aside and bur
Lucy searched everywhere for me after I went missing, even spending a fortune buying surveillance footage from every house in my area.It turned out that before Laura and David’s ceremony, she actually had a boyfriend.His name was Robert, a drug addict who kept pestering Laura for money. Laura told him that her sister was rich and that I would fulfill all his desires. That was when he switched focus to me instead.The surveillance footage clearly captured their meeting and conversation. When my family was sending me to the silver mine, Robert was sneaking behind them.“You’re lying! That video is fake! Robert had nothing to do with this!”Laura quickly denied everything, afraid of drawing suspicion. However, the more she tried to explain, the guiltier she appeared.Finally, seeing she was losing control, she lunged at Lucy to start a fight.“Enough! Laura, if you were still involved with your boyfriend, why did you insist on becoming my mate and breaking Eva’s heart?”David
David’s vision went white, and he collapsed to his knees, muttering to himself, “Impossible… That’s impossible.”His phone fell to the ground, the screen cracking.“David, what’s wrong? Get up!”My mom tried to help him up, only to hear him say the police had called to report I was dead.She was furious, shoving David and shouting, “What nonsense are you talking about?! How could Eva be dead?!”“Eva… she’s dead.”The whole family rushed anxiously to the police station, praying that it was all a mistake.Beneath the white cloth, a lock of my blonde hair peeked out.David’s hands trembled as he pulled the sheet back from my body. My decayed corpse made their hearts sink.“Eva, don’t scare me. It’s all Mom’s fault. Please wake up…”In the freezing morgue, my parents clung to each other, sobbing in agony.They finally regretted their actions, crying for me. However, no matter how loudly they cried, I could never come back.David’s knees gave out again, and he kneeled beside me
David smiled, patting his chest and swearing he would make Laura happy.To keep Laura in high spirits, not a single family member brought up the fact that I had been missing for a long time.Just then, the doorbell rang.A flicker of light lit up David’s eyes. He immediately got up and walked quickly to the door.He naively assumed that I had heard the news about my sister’s pregnancy, had let go of the past, and was back to celebrate with the family.However, the moment he opened the door, his smile vanished.Standing outside was someone he never expected to see.It was my best friend, Lucy.She stood there with her arms crossed, eyes sharp as she glared at David. She asked straight to the point, “Where’s Eva?”Lucy and I had been friends for over a decade.She had a tough life, too. After her mother remarried and abandoned her, she grew up under the care of her alcoholic father.Forced by circumstances, she had become as tough as any boy, hot-tempered and explosive with mo
