Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Sister hurtful betrayal: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

I never imagined my life would turn out this way. If you had asked me a year ago, I would have told you that I was the luckiest man alive — engaged to a woman I adored, welcomed into her family like a son, and ready to build a future that seemed unshakable. But all it took was one night. One reckless, selfish night that tore everything apart.It started innocently, or at least that’s what I tell myself when I can’t sleep at night. My fiancée’s sister, Clara, was nothing like her. Where my fiancée was calm, steady, and practical, Clara was wild, impulsive, and unpredictable. She had a way of walking into a room and demanding attention without even trying. And though I would never admit it out loud, a small part of me always noticed her — the way she laughed too loudly, the way her eyes lingered when they should have turned away.I thought I could handle it. I thought I could keep those fleeting sparks buried where they belonged. But temptation has a way of waiting for the right moment

The weeks that followed were a slow descent into hell.Clara and I lived in constant fear — fear of slipping, of being caught, of the truth clawing its way to the surface. She avoided family gatherings, claiming headaches or exhaustion. When she did show up, her clothes grew baggier, her smiles more forced. My fiancée noticed, of course. She worried about her sister, pressing her to see a doctor, asking questions we couldn’t answer.Each question was a dagger twisting in my gut.“Do you think she’s depressed?” she asked me one evening as we folded laundry together. “She’s so quiet lately. It doesn’t feel like her.”I forced a shrug, pretending to be as confused as she was. “Maybe she just needs space. You know Clara — she goes through moods.”But the truth was, I could see Clara breaking. She was carrying more than just the weight of a child; she was carrying the burden of silence. And every time our eyes met across a room, the guilt burned between us like a hidden fire.We tried to t

The rain poured over the city streets that evening, turning sidewalks into rivers of silver reflections. Adrian hurried along, coat collar pulled high, mind elsewhere. He barely noticed the small café ahead until he ducked inside, escaping the storm. That’s when he saw her—Clara. She was leaning against the counter, hair damp and clinging to her face, a hint of frustration in her eyes. But there was something captivating about the way she carried herself, a quiet strength that pulled at Adrian’s attention instantly.“Rough night?” she asked, her voice soft but charged with curiosity.Adrian blinked, caught off guard. “You could say that.” He offered a polite smile, but his chest felt tight, a strange anticipation stirring in his veins. He didn’t know her, yet the moment felt significant, as though fate itself had brought them together.Back home, Adrian couldn’t shake the memory. Elianna noticed his distant expression as he sank onto the couch.“Everything okay?” she asked gently, tra

The city was alive that evening, its streets glimmering under golden lamps as vendors packed up their stalls. Adrian should have been home—Elianna was expecting him for dinner—but instead he lingered outside the quiet café where Clara waited. His pulse quickened the moment he saw her through the glass window, her hands wrapped around a steaming cup of tea. She looked different tonight, softer somehow, her hair loose, her eyes distant. He pushed open the door, and the bell above jingled lightly. Clara looked up, her face lighting in a way that both warmed and unsettled him. “You came,” she said, her voice soft, a hint of relief threading the words. Adrian sat opposite her, exhaling. “I shouldn’t be here.” “You’ve said that before,” Clara replied with a small, wry smile. “And yet… here you are.” Silence settled between them, filled with the hum of the café’s fading activity. Adrian watched her fingers trace circles on the rim of her cup, each movement hypnotic. He shouldn’t n

The apartment was quiet, but inside Clara’s chest there was nothing but chaos.She sat on the edge of the couch, her hands pressed tightly together as if in prayer, her lips still tingling from Adrian’s kiss. The fire had burned so hot, so fierce — and now the smoke of guilt was suffocating her.“What have we done?” she whispered, her voice breaking.Adrian stood across the room, running his hands through his hair as though trying to shake himself awake. He couldn’t look at her — not yet. His chest heaved, his shoulders tense, every breath dragging heavy with regret.“Clara…” His voice was hoarse, raw. “I couldn’t stop myself. I’ve wanted that for so long, and when you were here—”“Don’t,” she cut him off sharply, though tears stung her eyes. “Don’t say it. Don’t make this sound like it’s something beautiful. It’s not. It’s a betrayal.”The word lingered between them, sharp as a blade.Adrian winced, his jaw tightening. “I know. God, I know. But I can’t deny how I feel about you. It’s
