บททั้งหมดของ My Family’s Betrayal: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 9

“David... do you think my sister is mad at me? She hasn’t called.”Laura leaned against David’s chest, faking a weary expression as she asked.David gently stroked her hair and said reassuringly, “No way. She’s your sister. And with the wolfsbane in your system, this was your only shot. Eva’s not unreasonable. I’ll be nicer to her from now on, that’s all.”Laura gave a nod, her eyes instantly regaining their shine. She grabbed his arm and joined Mom and Dad as they boarded the helicopter to enjoy an aerial view of the snowy mountains.That flight, costing tens of thousands of dollars for a single experience, was more than I could earn in a year.However, Laura could enjoy it without the slightest guilt.After the trip, they treated themselves to a luxurious dinner. I floated behind them in silence as they checked in at Moonshadow Hotel, the most extravagant hotel in the werewolf pack.Laura slipped into a revealing nightgown and climbed into bed next to David, reaching for his r

David smiled, patting his chest and swearing he would make Laura happy.To keep Laura in high spirits, not a single family member brought up the fact that I had been missing for a long time.Just then, the doorbell rang.A flicker of light lit up David’s eyes. He immediately got up and walked quickly to the door.He naively assumed that I had heard the news about my sister’s pregnancy, had let go of the past, and was back to celebrate with the family.However, the moment he opened the door, his smile vanished.Standing outside was someone he never expected to see.It was my best friend, Lucy.She stood there with her arms crossed, eyes sharp as she glared at David. She asked straight to the point, “Where’s Eva?”Lucy and I had been friends for over a decade.She had a tough life, too. After her mother remarried and abandoned her, she grew up under the care of her alcoholic father.Forced by circumstances, she had become as tough as any boy, hot-tempered and explosive with mo

Lucy searched everywhere for me after I went missing, even spending a fortune buying surveillance footage from every house in my area.It turned out that before Laura and David’s ceremony, she actually had a boyfriend.His name was Robert, a drug addict who kept pestering Laura for money. Laura told him that her sister was rich and that I would fulfill all his desires. That was when he switched focus to me instead.The surveillance footage clearly captured their meeting and conversation. When my family was sending me to the silver mine, Robert was sneaking behind them.“You’re lying! That video is fake! Robert had nothing to do with this!”Laura quickly denied everything, afraid of drawing suspicion. However, the more she tried to explain, the guiltier she appeared.Finally, seeing she was losing control, she lunged at Lucy to start a fight.“Enough! Laura, if you were still involved with your boyfriend, why did you insist on becoming my mate and breaking Eva’s heart?”David

Lucy gently caressed my urn. A warm tear splashed onto the surface.Inside, I was a mess of emotions.“Eva, when we were kids, you saved me from that nightmare attic. Now, it’s my turn to save you. From now on, can you visit me more in my dreams?“Without you, life is so lonely. I wish it was me who died. You were so talented and kind. You should’ve had a happy life…”More and more tears fell onto the urn.Lucy crouched down like a child who had lost her home, taken in, treated like family, only to be discarded again.She stood at a crossroads, unsure of where to turn.I stood beside her, gently stroking her hair.“I’m sorry, Lucy. In the end, I lost. I was fooled by false love and let you down.”“Sweetheart! Be a good girl! Please give Eva back to Auntie! I’m begging you!”Behind us, my parents and David came running, gasping for breath.Mom dropped to her knees with hands clasped in prayer, begging Lucy to put down the urn.However, Lucy only clutched it tighter, her face
