Third-Person POV

The family of four was gathered around the table, sharing a family dinner on New Year's Day, when the TV news suddenly cut to a trending headline.

Savannah's mother, Trudy Collins, saw it first. Her heart jolted, and the fork in her hand slipped from her trembling fingers and clattered to the floor.

She tapped Savannah on the arm.

"Savannah, look at the photo on the news," she said, her voice quivering. "That boy is wearing the exact same clothes as Cole!"

  • My Sister's Game: Destroy Me, Save Him   Chapter 8

    Third-Person POVSavannah's phone slipped from her hand and hit the floor with a loud thud. She scrambled to pick it up.Her voice trembled uncontrollably with panic, and it took several attempts before she could force out a complete sentence."Are you… Are you conspiring with Cole to trick me?"The staff member on the other end was used to these kinds of reactions. After all, it wasn't easy to accept the sudden death of someone they knew.He simply answered, "Please come as soon as possible so the boy can be laid to rest."After hanging up, Savannah drove straight to the morgue while calling her parents to inform them of the news.She reached the morgue in record time.Laid out in front of her was a corpse covered by a white sheet, with several staff members standing nearby.But she didn't dare step forward. She was terrified—terrified that it truly was Cole under that sheet.Seeing how frozen she was, one of the staff members stepped forward and pulled back the sheet for he

  • My Sister's Game: Destroy Me, Save Him   Chapter 7

    Cole's POVMy soul jolted midair.Six years had passed, and she still remembered that I loved churros.Once, when I was a kid, I had gotten upset. Savannah, wanting to cheer me up, pulled a bag of churros out from behind her back like a magician.My parents had always limited my sugar intake at home, so the moment I saw the churros, my bad mood vanished instantly.After that, whenever I wanted something sweet, I would pretend to be mad at her. She always saw right through my act, but she would play along anyway, placating me with a bag of churros.And each time, I would feel like the luckiest boy on earth.The vendor chuckled and handed her a paper bag filled with warm churros."You sure are a great sister, driving all around town on New Year's Day just to buy these for your brother."Savannah took them with a smile but said nothing. She got back into her car and quickly drove off toward the orphanage.I knew she had bought them to cheer me up.If the old Cole Shepherd had l

  • My Sister's Game: Destroy Me, Save Him   Chapter 6

    Cole's POVI followed Savannah out the door, floating above her as I watched the Grayford scenery pass us by.Looking back, it all felt so absurd.Over the past six years, everyone at the orphanage had alienated me, whether they were kids my age, older than me, or younger than me. Even the cafeteria lady would kick me in disgust whenever she saw me.Because of that, I wasn't allowed to participate in any of the activities there.When the other children went on spring outings, I was deliberately locked in the basement for the entire day. At mealtimes, my bowl usually held nothing but a few green leaves, while everyone else enjoyed all kinds of delicious food.And so, whenever I was too hungry to sleep, I'd chug water frantically. If I filled my stomach enough, it could keep the hunger pangs away for a few hours.Every winter, all the other children had thick padded coats. I, on the other hand, only had a few thin jackets and short-sleeved shirts. I'd wear every piece of clothing

Her heart jolted, and the fork in her hand slipped from her trembling fingers and clattered to the floor.She tapped Savannah on the arm."Savannah, look at the photo on the news," she said, her voice quivering. "That boy is wearing the exact same clothes as Cole!"The TV was blaring, so there was no way Savannah hadn't heard what the news anchor had said earlier. She continued scooping food onto Joey's plate before finally looking up at the screen.A video clip was playing. Coroners were shown zipping up a frozen, motionless body in a body bag before lifting it onto a stretcher.Seeing this, she couldn't help but let out a quiet scoff before patting Trudy's hand reassuringly."Mom, how many times has it been, and you still fall for Cole's tricks? The person in the vide

  • My Sister's Game: Destroy Me, Save Him   Chapter 4

    Cole's POVMy body contorted as a blood-curdling scream ripped out of me. The unprecedented level of pain nearly knocked me unconscious.Pure instinct made me want to push Joey away. But before I could even touch him, he tumbled down the steps behind him on his own."Mom! Dad! Savannah! It hurts so bad!"His pitiful cries instantly drowned out my screams of pain.In my daze, I saw the three people inside the restaurant snap their heads toward the window almost instantaneously, right before they frantically got up and rushed across the street.Savannah arrived first. Clearly looking heartbroken, she scooped Joey into her arms in a complete panic and asked what had happened.Mom and Dad followed close behind, throwing themselves next to him and frantically calling him their sweetheart.While checking him for injuries, they hurriedly called for an ambulance.Joey looked utterly aggrieved while lying in Savannah's arms, his nose turning red as he sobbed and pointed at me."I… I t

    Cole's POVSeeing what was happening, Dr. Freedman frantically tried to stop the security guards, saying everything he could to plead my case.But Savannah had too much influence, and the security guards were just doing what they were paid to do as well. No one dared to defy her.In the end, I was thrown out onto the street.The impact sent waves of excruciating pain through my bones, leaving me writhing and twitching on the ground.The kind Dr. Freedman couldn't bear to see me like this. He draped the only coat he had over my frail body."Son, I've got a family to support, and I can't afford to lose this job. I can't help you any further, but these pills will ease the pain for a bit."He hurriedly shoved a bottle of painkillers into my hand before the guards yelled at him to leave.I randomly grabbed a handful of pills and stuffed them into my mouth. It took me a long time before I finally came to my senses.I staggered to my feet and stared blankly at the bustling street. It
