  • My Sister, His Mistress   Chapter 7

    Maisie's Perspective:I had just gotten off the plane and had no idea what had happened after I left. My phone screen was empty, but for the first time, I did not feel that familiar ache.Instead, I felt a strange sense of lightness and relief.The person who came to pick me up was one of the project leaders and also my college senior, Ophelia Klein. Stylish as always, she took my suitcase, hugged me, and smiled."I told the project lead yesterday that Ezekiel probably couldn't bear to let you go and might delay your flight. I didn't expect you to show up a whole night early. Did you two fight?"She had always known my relationship with my family was not good. Back in college, she had once seen me having dinner off-campus with Rebecca and my parents. The entire time, my parents had been constantly serving Rebecca food while completely failing to notice that I was allergic to seafood and feeling sick.From that day on, Ophelia started looking at me the way she looked at stray cats

    Agatha shouted, "And what did you do? Not only did you refuse to leave, but you got pregnant! Do you have any idea how much effort the whole family put into making Maisie accept this baby? And now you're saying you want to marry Ezekiel?!"She hissed, "Tell me the truth. Did you plan this from the very beginning? Did you scheme to make Maisie and Ezekiel divorce? Answer me!"That was the first time Rebecca had ever faced her parents' disappointment and accusations. In the past, those looks had always been directed at Maisie, and only now did she understand how much it hurt to have the needle turned on herself.She had never imagined her parents had zero intention of letting her marry Ezekiel. She thought Maisie and Ezekiel's divorce would be a cause for celebration, but now she realized she had been completely wrong.Aside from herself, no one else wanted Ezekiel and Maisie to divorce.Feeling cornered and humiliated, Rebecca bit her lip as tears streamed down her face. "Then, wha

    Ezekiel's mind went completely blank. The hallway buzzed with voices, yet he could not hear a thing.It was not until Maisie's mother, Agatha Holton, spoke that he was pulled back to reality, and he snapped out of it."Ezekiel, Rebecca's feeling uncomfortable again. What are you standing there for? Go and take care of her!"Ezekiel turned around with a look of disbelief on his face. He mumbled, "Maisie... wants to divorce me...""What?" Agatha's expression mirrored Ezekiel's shock.Everyone in the family knew how deeply Maisie loved Ezekiel and how she had always compromised for him. That was why they had the audacity to weave such a ridiculous lie, letting him and Rebecca have an affair right under Maisie's nose.The worst outcome they had imagined was Maisie running away from home for a while before giving in and coming back to accept Ezekiel and Rebecca's child. After all, children starved for love would compromise over the smallest crumbs of affection.No one had expected Ma

    "That's impossible! Maisie has had a bad habit of lying since she was a kid. She must be making this up!" my dad scoffed.How ridiculous. They were the ones who had been lying all this time!My dad's words not only dismissed my mom's concerns but also Ezekiel's.He gave me one final look. "When you finally come to your senses, I'll take you to the hospital."After that, the four of them turned and left without looking back.My heart was completely shattered. I threw up a mouthful of blood and had no idea how long I lay there before I finally managed to crawl off the floor. Blood dripped one drop after another onto the ground.Holding onto the railing, I made my way downstairs, every step feeling like my bones were being ripped apart. My body was breaking down, but the baby inside me, the one that was slipping away, was somehow the only thing keeping me going.Just like that dead kitten.When the kitten died, I once thought about jumping out the window. However, I did not. I tol

    Ezekiel's eyes widened in shock, and Rebecca quickly stepped between us.With an aggrieved tone, she said, "Maisie, if you don't want to, that's fine. Don't make things harder for Ezekiel. I'll go to the hospital right now and end the pregnancy!"Her tone was so determined that Ezekiel immediately wrapped his arms around her waist.However, the look he gave me was cold enough to send chills down my spine. "Maisie Shaffer, Rebecca is your sister. Do you really have to push her this far?!"My mom's expression was full of disgust. "I told you we shouldn't have said anything to her. She's been jealous of Rebecca since they were kids and always has to compete for everything. How could she possibly accept this baby?"As she spoke, my mom shoved me hard. "Get out! You're only going to upset Rebecca further!"I stumbled back, my heart pounding painfully against my ribs, every beat making my nerves shake. My eyes burned red as I stood frozen in place, shouting, "Mom! Am I not your daughte
