Semua Bab She Snatched My Misery Package: Bab 1 - Bab 9

I'd been reborn.Staring at my pudgy little hands, I barely processed it.Didn't Ella kill me?Guess the universe hit rewind.Two women stood outside the orphanage gate.Lindsay Crowe—yep, still drop-dead gorgeous, every move like a slow-mo perfume ad. She was the one who picked me last time.Beside her was Dakota Hart. Sharp eyes, hair yanked back, zero smiles. The kind of mom who ran her house like a boot camp.Back then, Ella and I both aimed for Lindsay. She chose me. Dakota got stuck with Ella, who looked like she'd lost a bet.The two women lived next door. Lindsay's world? Chaos.She swore a girl's beauty was everything.So yeah—she threw me into cosmetic surgeries while I was still in braces. By eighteen, I looked like a walking filter.Ella's life went the other way. Dakota slammed down rules—no parties, no guys, just books and curfews. She shoved Ella straight into med school whether Ella liked it or not.Ella hated me for it. Thought I scored Finley Epston—Northp

And just like that, she was back with Danny Brooke."Hannah." She clung to his arm like a trophy. "See? He was mine all along."Cool. Good for her.I felt nothing. Danny was a walking red flag. Not my type.Pretty sure she didn't even like him. This wasn't love—it was payback. She just hated that he picked me last time."Of course he's yours," I said.'Who else would touch this trash?'I let her see it in my eyes."I know you're jealous." She flipped her hair. "Face, body—guys line up for me. Jealousy doesn't suit you."Then, lower: "That fairytale life you had? Mine now."Yeah, she made it crystal clear—our lives had flipped.Danny missed the whisper, but he caught my smirk and blew up. "You look like that and still act better than me? Plain Jane!"I laughed. "So that's what you thought of her face, huh?"She got it. Her face twitched.We were twins. Back then, she dated him while looking like the me standing here now.Danny turned to her, all heart-eyes. "Not Ella. She

Lindsay was trash from the start—cussing was basically her first language."Parading around in those slutty-ass clothes, shaking your ass to reel in men. Didn't I tell you to watch it? And now you're knocked up—how the fuck are you supposed to land a rich kid like this?!"Ella curled up, trembling. "I did take the pills. I don't even know how I got pregnant."She was terrified of her. The same way I used to be.Back then, I wouldn't let Lindsay pimp me out. She shredded me with words, cut me down, sometimes jabbed me until my skin was covered in little marks.Even remembering made me shiver.And Ella's reaction said it all—Lindsay was pulling the same crap on her now.Only difference? Ella chose this. She wanted the rich-girl fantasy, and Lindsay was more than ready to shove her down that road. They were the same—greedy, selfish, made for each other.Then Ella muttered, like it had just clicked. "When Danny and I broke up two months ago, we... did it in the woods. I forgot the

In public, he played it sweet, like I was his treasure.I was never treasure. Just property.He tormented me, used me.He even threw me at his father's bed just to claw his way past his brothers for the Epston inheritance.I had to serve the shareholders and board too, smiling while they mocked me as Finley's so-called wife.Don't let the status gap between Lindsay and Finley fool you. Behind closed doors, their games were the same.I hated them both, wanted to drag them straight to hell.And my sweet sister? She ended my life with a scalpel.What I didn't expect this time was Ella cozying up to Finley so fast.Last time, I didn't meet him until after graduation. I knew what hooked him first—my face.As for why he married me? Had to be some dirty deal with Lindsay. A real family never would've let their daughter be treated like that.Ella had barely scraped past an abortion, and she was already walking into something darker.Her dream palace? Just a hellhole packed with men

The crowd buzzed. A few bailed with lame excuses.Plenty of them had been Ella's "patrons"—men who traded favors with Lindsay for a night in her bed.Finley might've been fine using his wife's body to land deals in private, but he never meant for the world to know.And worse? She'd played him. Hid the fact that she was pregnant with some punk's baby before the wedding.His face twisted. Then—crack. "Whore! How could you be this dirty!"The guests who hadn't bolted scrambled for their phones, eager to catch it all.Lindsay clocked the chaos and tried to sneak out. She was done with Ella. Got her money, ready to ghost.But I wasn't letting her walk. "Danny, if you want her to pay, stop her!"He stepped in and punched her. "Not so fast."Meanwhile, Finley lost it, striking Ella over and over. "Whore!"She shrieked, sobbing. "I'm pregnant with your baby!"Blood soaked her dress. He didn't stop.And me? I felt nothing.The cops were seconds out.I'd already reported the Epston
