My Holier-Than-Thou Sister and Mother

As soon as I jolted awake on the couch at home, I got a call from my mother. There was a reflexive spasm in my abdomen when I saw the word "Mom" on the screen of my phone. I tried to grit my teeth through it. But in the end, I couldn't stop myself from rushing to the bathroom to puke my guts out.Mothers and daughters were supposed to have the most intimate bond, but for me, just seeing a call from her made me sick.My phone rang three times before I finally took the call."Are you dead?" Mom screeched at me. "Why the heck did you take so long to answer the phone? You're bloody useless, you know that? Why are you always unreachable when something happens, huh? You might as well be dead for all I care!"That was precisely what she thought of me. I was so useless that I might as well be dead. Thus, when my younger sister, Amy Lockwood, had kidney problems, she insisted that I donate my kidney to Amy.Although I'd been reborn, that still didn't diminish my hatred for her vicious, cru

Between her sobs and hiccups, Amy raised her head and glared at me with her reddened eyes."How can you be so cruel, Cheryl? My baby's life matters, too! How can you even talk about an abortion? Don't even think about killing my baby!"Eric froze. "What baby? Amy, are you…"I helpfully explained, "Amy, my poor sister, got sexually assaulted three months ago. She's now pregnant with her assailant's child. My advice was to get an abortion, but she refuses to get one. What do you think we should do in this situation, Eric? Should we file a police report?"Before Eric could say anything, Amy lunged at me, her nails almost clawing at my face. "Why must you make it sound so horrible? Are you doing it on purpose? I'm already in anguish over the fact that I… Must you bring up my trauma like that?"Besides, h-he was drunk at the time. He didn't mean to do it. He's only 19 years old. What if his life gets ruined because you reported him to the police? You shouldn't be so cruel!"That it

I hadn't been so lucky in my previous life. After Amy latched onto me, I became her personal, full-time caretaker—unpaid, and even paying out of my own pocket.I figured that, even if she was utterly without a conscience, she would still realize that I'd done enough for her as a sister. After all, I waited on her for months, paying for all her expenses and even giving her an allowance on top of that.Who would've thought that she would try to kill me for the sake of her assailant?Somehow, Amy and the guy started talking. His name was Barry Sloan. She acted like a woman in love, spending all her time on the phone. She would also stroke her belly from time to time with a loving expression on her face.In fact, she even got Barry to move into my place. The two didn't bother showing any courtesy to me. They would get all intimate and affectionate even when I was around. It was truly disgusting.I'd put up with all of that—until I accidentally overheard one of their conversations. Tha

Mom ended up becoming semi-paralyzed, barely able to speak, and unable to control her bladder and or bowels. Her condition wore her out so much that, after just two short weeks, she was barely even recognizable.I made sure she stayed alive. I even hired a caregiver, Marnie Boyd, to look after her and ensure that she didn't die. Everyone else said I was the best daughter in the world.Every day, I talk about Amy. I'd tell Mom just how good Amy's life was right now and assure her that she didn't have to worry about Amy. The hatred in her eyes that grew stronger each day gave me a great deal of pleasure.How did it feel when the daughter you loved the most did this to you?Well, there was no rush. This wasn't even the most exciting part of the show yet.Mom deserved to die, and Amy deserved it even more. I wasn't going to let either one of them get away unscathed.…Five years later, Amy returned with her son, Dylan.Thanks to my interference, she didn't get to live the glamorous
