ฝ่าบาท ข้าเป็นขันทีไม่ใช่สนม

Chapter 1

“Ahh,.... Tell me you love me." Those words flowed in Aria’s room followed by loud Moans.

"I love you! I love you, Aria, so much." The man in the room replied and Sharon froze, in shock.

The pregnancy slip in her hands instantly fell to her foot and her initially blushing face drained of color, not because of the pregnancy sickness but because the voice that flowed freely out of Aria’s room belonged to her husband, Andrew.

There is no way it would be Andrew. He was supposed to be at work!

And for Aria, she was never interested in men!

Sharon didn’t want to believe what she had just heard.  She had always believed her husband would never cheat on her but not until this day, even when she received an anonymous message about his husband's extra-marital affair, she never believed it, but she never imagined she would catch him red-handed in the act on their special day.

It was their fifth wedding anniversary, however, Her anniversary was made special by the discovery of her pregnancy,

Sharon wasn’t barren, she had been pregnant several times. However, each ended in miscarriage. After many unfortunate miscarriages due to her fragile womb and repeated miscarriages, she struggled to conceive.

Aria, her stepsister had taken her to a fertility hospital and finally, she was pregnant again.

She wanted to reveal Aria as a surprise but Sharon received a surprise from her instead.

Sharon looked down at Andrew's clothes that were scattered across the living proving it was Andrew, it was the same suit she had chosen for him when going to work.

Her mind refused to process what it was seeing. She took her feet and walked into the room where the loud moans were coming from.

Sharon looked at the lean frame of Andrew's body on the bed, moving intensely, with a woman beneath him. Her face was obscured by a thick mass of blonde hair. Sharon didn't want to believe it was Aria, but there was no denying it—it was stepsister, Aria

The two were so intense that they didn’t notice her until a whimper leaked from her lips.

They stopped abruptly and turned to her side, Andrew panicked seeing his wife of five years.

"B-Babe, what are you doing here?" Andrew's voice trembled, hastily grabbing the bedspread to cover his nudity.

A tear rolled down Sharon's face as her words were stuck in her throat.

Without a word, Sharon's gaze drifted to Aria. In Aria's eyes, a fleeting spark of malice flickered.

"Babe, it's not what you're thinking," Andrew said, moving closer to Sharon. Sharon's eyes followed him, struggling to hold back more tears that were threatening to fall.

Her gaze shifted back to the bed, now conspicuously empty. Aria was gone. Sharon's brow furrowed in confusion, but before she could piece the situation together, a sudden, forceful strike to her head plunged her into darkness

“I told you, the crazy bitch already found out!” Aria's voice sneered, the last thing Sharon heard before succumbing to unconsciousness.

-

Sharon heard a few snaps of fingers over her head shaking her back to awareness,  her lashes trembled and her eyes slowly opened up. Seeing Aria standing right in front of her, she panicked and tried to move but that was when she noticed she had no chance or power to, She slowly recognized that she was bound hand and leg with a thick rope to a chair.

The memory came back to her, how she had caught her sister with her trusted husband.

A tear rolled down her face, she had trusted the both of them so much and she never believed she could be betrayed by the two.

“You are up.”

Sharon looked up at Aria who had now dressed up, her messy hair had been combed down, for a minute Sharon began to wonder how long she had been out.

“What’s going on Aria? Why am I tied up after everything you did? Why are you doing this to me.” Sharon cried.

“You should relax and watch,” Aria mumbled.

Just then, the door of the room was opened without hesitation and a familiar figure walked in. It was Andrew.

Seeing him, Sharon instantly sighed in relief.

 “Andrew! Thank goodness you're here! I don’t know what’s gotten over Aria, she tied me up to the chair, just untie me, and let's talk about what led you to her bed.” She added in her mind of confusion.

However, Andrew wordlessly ignored her, instead, he walked over to Aria,

“Babe.” He muttered placing a kiss directly on her lips leaving Sharon speechless.

Aria pulled out of the kiss and laughed crazily seeing the shocked expression on Sharon’s face.

“Relax, he isn’t here to save you.” She smirked.

Aria laughed sadistically while Sharon tried arranging the pieces of information gradually in her head, yet she couldn’t understand what was going on.

Aria leaned a bit to her size, and that was when she noticed a necklace

Aria's sudden movement caused her necklace to swing forward, the pendant dangling precariously close to Sharon's face. Sharon instantly recognized the necklace, it was the same necklace Andrew had given her to promise their love,

Aria had the same one too?

“What? You're shocked?" Aria laughed maniacally, and Sharon felt shivers from it. Aria had noticed she was staring at the necklace on her.

“I got this first from Andrew.” She added rubbing her index finger on it.

A deadly smirk suddenly appeared on Aria’s face

“I hate it when I see it on you too,” Aria said and violently snatched the necklace from Sharon’s neck.

A tear instantly rolled down her face, The two had been dating all along?

“Do you think Andrew loves you? He only married you because I asked him to.”

Tears followed down her eyes upon hearing that.

“But why did you do all that?” Sharon said. She didn’t think she had ever wronged Aria or did anything bad to her.

“Do you know how sick I am of seeing your face, Sharon? I hate you, I hate the fact that everything was willed down to you, I mean I’m also his child.” Aria yelled but yet Sharon couldn’t understand

“But, I'm not willing to let you have what was supposed to be mine. So I'm going to destroy you and so I can also inherit everything." She added confusing her more.

There was no inheritance anywhere. Their father died and left a lot of debts behind, but she managed to pay them off before she got married to Andrew.

“What are you talking about?” She was forced to ask.

“I learned everything from Dad’s lawyer, At 23 you will be half of his properties if you are married, I know that’s why you forced yourself on Andrew to marry you.”

“Once you get married and give birth to your first child, the second half is going to be willed down to you.” She added leaving Sharon even more stunned.

“D-Dad?”

"No way..." Sharon shook her head in disbelief.

How come she didn’t know about any of this?

“Andrew and I planned this. I told him to marry you so that I would be in control of your marriage. I’ll be able to ruin you and I’ll be able to take over everything your dad and your mother owned."

“And Instead of going home to grief, I’m going to put an end to your mystery and suffering,” Aria added dangerously.

Sharon who was still left stunned turned to Andrew.

“I’m carrying your child, Andrew,” Sharon said in tears but Aria burst out laughing.

“What do you think? All your miscarriages, how did you think they happened?” She smirked maliciously.

Sharon blinked twice trying to run everything she had heard through her brain.

“What are you talking about?" She questioned, unable to believe what she heard.

Aria was the one who stayed with her through her storms, there was no way she would do that to her.

“All your miscarriage was caused by Andrew and I. Andrew had been drugging you all this while.” She said plainly on her face.

“I mean I can’t watch you carrying my man’s child.” She shrugged.

“And I can’t watch you take everything I was supposed to own. Getting your child will get you all the properties too.” Aria said and Sharon instantly broke down into tears.

“Relax girl, This isn’t time for your little tears, you should think of escaping from here,” Aria said dangerously.

“S-So what are you planning to do with me?” Sharon stuttered.

“You should relax and watch.” Aria grinned and she watched her pull out a kitchen knife out of nowhere

Sharon panicked.

“You don't have to do this, Aria! We are sisters. I will leave everything for you, both the inheritance and.. and Andrew, just Please don't.” Sharon pleaded.

Aria ignored and drove the knife at her sister's chest while Andrew watched and said nothing. Sharon's screams filled the air, loud with agony. Her innocent blood was spilled, staining the floor.

Sharon didn’t want to die now, she didn’t want to leave without getting her revenge.
