LOGINThe next time I heard anything about Lila, it was a call from Zeke. On the other end, he laughed and congratulated me. “Lila caught a disease and died in a client’s bed.”I was not surprised by the outcome. All the revenge I could not take in my past life, I was settling in this one.When Zeke returned Lila’s body, my mom looked at her frozen, lifeless form and completely broke down. She kept murmuring, “Lila, I’m so sorry. Please forgive me…”My mom ran out of the house that day and never came back.For the first month or two, my dad tried everything he could to find her. He posted flyers on the streets and put up missing person notices online, but it was all for nothing. He did not even get a single vague lead.As time went on, my dad stopped looking for my mom and brought a new woman into our home. He said firmly, “I’m still living. I’m old and need someone to take care of me.”I looked at her six-year-old son, whose face was nearly identical to my dad’s, and smile
In my past life, after the photo scandal, all kinds of marketing accounts and reporters camped outside our house. They confronted my mom at the door, but instead of defending me, she told them I really was that kind of person.“Yara didn’t grow up with us. It’s no surprise she turned out this way.”Because of her words, everyone believed the rumors.I used to think she loved Lila just a little more than me. But in this life, I realized she never saw me as her daughter at all.She put all the blame on my dad. First, she accused him of coming up with the plan to fake Lila’s death, which led Zeke and the others to take her away. Then, she blamed him for being useless and failing to rescue Lila.My dad’s face grew darker, and his hand on his leg clenched tighter and tighter.The next moment, he completely lost his temper under my mom’s constant nagging. He slammed his fist on the table. “Why don’t you admit it’s your fault for not raising your daughter properly? That’s why
Zeke and the others had just left when my parents rushed to the police station to report the incident. But Zeke had already taken care of things, so they came home empty-handed.The officer even warned my mom, “If you file another false report, I’ll have to detain you.”Back at home, my mom completely broke down. She cried, screamed, and threatened to kill herself. She demanded that my dad call in favors to get Lila back.My dad sat on the couch with a cigarette. He looked exhausted. He grew even angrier at her antics and slammed his fist on the table.“You don’t think I tried? I begged everyone I could and got nowhere! She chose to offend those lunatics, of all people! “They’re influential and hold a lot of power. They could crush us as easily as ants! “Do you want me to end up in prison too?”I watched my parents argue with an indifferent face. I felt nothing.In my past life, they abandoned me for Lila and even cut me off when I was struggling the most. Lila had only
The day I went back to the past, I went straight to Zeke and the other two and laid everything out for them.Yaron narrowed his eyes at me. He was clearly suspicious. “Why should we believe anything you say?”I smiled confidently. Being Lila’s sister was reason enough to be doubted. But I had proof.I showed them Lila’s social media. She was afraid of being exposed, so she posted the gifts they gave her on her main account while secretly chatting with each of them from different accounts.Anyone could see the truth at a glance. Just as I thought, they were all Lila’s prey.Zeke kicked a chair in anger and cursed. Yarden did not look any better. Yaron gripped his phone so hard that the veins in his knuckles popped.They could barely control their anger and looked ready to go confront Lila on the spot.I cleared my throat. “I heard Lila’s planning to fake her death with my parents’ help. Wouldn’t it be better to wait and catch her in the act?”The three of them finally
My mom rushed to Lila and cried loudly for help. She begged for someone to do CPR on Lila. But the relatives were terrified she might really be dead, so none of them dared to get involved. Zeke and the other two hated Lila, so they did not care about my mom’s pleas at all.“Who knows if she’s alive or dead? If you want to save her, do it yourself.”My mom had no choice but to try, but she did not know the correct way to do CPR. Even after several tries, Lila did not stir. She looked worse, in fact.I kept thinking about what someone dying from asphyxiation would look like, but Lila did not show any of those signs. She had never been in any danger. She was just pretending.Zeke and I exchanged a look. Then, he walked over to Lila and kicked her hard in the stomach.Lila tried her best not to react, but the pain still showed in the tight crease of her eyebrows.The crowd saw that Zeke’s method was getting a response and urged him to kick her a few more times.Zeke did not
Zeke saw right through my dad’s plan and looked at him with open disgust. “I still have the video of your daughter. Do you want me to make it public? “You think provoking us is going to work? Keep dreaming!”My mom was desperate to save Lila. She tried to rush forward, but Yaron stopped her. He stared at Lila’s grave with cold eyes and spoke in a tone that was cruel and heartless.“She’s already dead. She should stay dead.”My mom was terrified that Lila would suffocate inside. She dropped to her knees in front of Zeke. Then, she pointed at me and begged with everything she had. “She’s Lila’s sister! She has never even been in a relationship. I’m willing to exchange her for Lila. “You can do whatever you want to her! I don’t care if she dies from it. Just please let Lila go…”My mom’s voice trailed away. The entire place fell silent.The relatives condemned my mom and mocked her without mercy.Yaron cleared his throat and cut her off sharply.“The guilty pay for their
