ログインIn my previous life, I was taken away by a poor family. My younger sister, Elsa, was adopted by a wealthy family instead. Unexpectedly, Elsa only got to live there for less than five years before getting cast out. She ended up dying on the streets. Meanwhile, I got into the best school thanks to my outstanding grades. Then, I furthered my studies overseas with my adoptive older brother, Flynn Cullen. With my own hands, I built my own business empire brick by brick. Years later, Flynn and I received our parents' blessings and got married. Soon, we had children of our own. I had a happy and smooth-sailing life. Now, I'm reborn. This time, Elsa makes an entirely different choice. She runs into Flynn's arms and greets him in a sweet tone. After taking the adoptive parents' hands, she shoots a smug glance in my direction. "Enya, you should have a taste of the suffering that comes with that wealthy family. I can't bear to spend a moment longer in that cruel place!" I looked at Flynn, hoping that he'd say something. Instead, I saw him shielding Elsa from me protectively. He just looked at me icily. "Don't get close to my sister!" In the end, I walked toward the limo while Elsa watched me victoriously from behind.

"Fine. Just you wait!"She stormed out, and soon after, Eric and I were called to the principal's office.After a thorough investigation confirmed we hadn't cheated, Elsa was punished for spreading false rumors and causing chaos at school.She completely lost it. "You can't punish me! They're the ones who cheated! Are you blind? How could this happen…"Elsa was initially expelled for insulting the school authorities, but Mr. and Mrs. Cullen came with gifts and pleas, and the principal allowed her to stay.Still, her string of reckless actions had already become widely known. Gossip about her was everywhere, and even Flynn, who had always cared for her, started keeping his distance.As soon as Elsa realized this, she went into another frenzy. Flynn was drained from handling her antics.
"Okay," I replied, though I knew that no matter when it happened, I would make the same choice over and over again.Eric stayed in the hospital for three months. During that time, I applied for home study at school so I could take care of him while also helping him catch up on senior-year classes.A month after he fully recovered, we returned to school in time for the first monthly exam. As I came out of the exam hall, I spotted two familiar faces I hadn't seen in a long while—Flynn and Elsa.Elsa froze when she saw me, exaggerating her surprise. "Enya! When did you get back to school? I heard you were hurt. Was it serious? I even thought you would drop out."I could see the hint of smugness in her expression, so I ignored her and walked past."Enya," Flynn called after me. For once, he didn't look disgusted. "Are you okay?"At that moment, I remembered the helplessness I had felt that day and his resolute expression. Not even a stranger should act like that. I no longer held a t
This was the first time I had defied his order. I wrapped my arms tightly around Eric's waist. "We leave together. I'm not leaving you behind.""What a touching sibling act," the muscular man said.As the applause echoed around us, his expression suddenly grew cold. "But this little show is over."Before I could react, he launched a kick toward us.I crashed to the ground, and Eric landed with me.They gradually closed in on us. The steel pipes dragged across the ground, sending out harsh, ringing clanks."Go on. Hit them hard. Whoever does the most damage gets a reward."The moment his words fell, they surged forward like beasts."Eric!" I screamed, instinctively wrapping myself around him.I told myself again and again that nothing could happen to him.A sharp crack tore through the air, followed by a gunshot. The iron rod slammed to the ground, but the pain I expected never arrived."Freeze. Hands where we can see them!"The police had arrived. They quickly surrounded Er
As the hammer came down, I squeezed my eyes shut.A dull grunt sounded beside my ear. The pain I had braced myself for never came. I snapped my eyes open and saw Eric standing in front of me. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, splashing onto my face. My heart lurched in panic."Eric! Don't scare me like that!"I watched helplessly as he collapsed in front of me. My chest clenched. I rushed forward and caught him, holding him up. "Eric, wake up. Please wake up.""Shut up," the man snapped, glaring at me viciously.He grabbed my hair and yanked me up roughly. "Keep screaming and I'll sew your mouth shut so you never speak again for the rest of your life."In that moment, panic drowned out my fear. I seized his wrist. "This is attempted murder. It's a crime. I've already called the police. Let us go now, or else—"Before I could say another word, a crushing grip locked around my throat. The air left my lungs, and I couldn't make a sound.I couldn't speak. I could only w
