Semua Bab After I Died, They Went Mad: Bab 1 - Bab 8

I never once thought of chasing Erin away. Instead, I had been extremely nice to her since the day she arrived. Finally, I had a younger sister.For some reason, ever since that day, my fathers began to distrust me. Even my friends started avoiding me."Who else could it be? You two were the only ones left in the mansion. All of the servants were on leave. That was your best chance of getting at her."Bruce let out a bark of laughter before continuing, "Are we supposed to just believe you because you said so? Erin is an innocent and naive young girl. Why do you always bully her?"My chest started to ache with a pain so sharp that my instincts screamed for me to curl up. However, I forced myself to stand tall. I did not want to appear weak before them."I've never targeted her at all." I lifted my chin proudly. "Ever since she arrived at our home, have you ever once believed me?""We gave you a chance when you stole her necklace."Daniel got to his feet to stare me down. "You ref

The only response I got was the dial tone of a disconnected call.I was stunned.My phone slid from my fingers and clattered against the floor.He hung up on me.I then called Bruce.The call barely made it past the second ring before he rejected it.My last hope was Jack.The phone kept ringing. Each tone sounded longer than the last, like the countdown to my end.Then, he, too, hung up on me.I stared down at the glowing screen until the light dimmed before I started laughing. Tears dripped onto the ground, mixing with the puddle of blood at my feet.The two men tore my clothing apart.…Time became meaningless. I didn't know if minutes or hours passed—only that every heartbeat hurt.Finally, they left.As I lay on the floor, my entire body ached.My clothes were in tatters while every inch of my body was bruised.The door swung open once more.Erin walked in with a satisfied grin on her face. "How did it feel, April?"I did not respond to her.I no longer had the

Daniel, Bruce, and Jack barged into the room half an hour later.They were frozen with shock upon seeing my corpse.Daniel rushed over and held my body in his arms. His voice trembled as he cried out, "April!"Bruce collapsed onto his knees with his hands over his face.Jack went stark white as he continued standing there.Erin ran over to hug Daniel by the thigh as she hiccupped and sobbed. "I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If it weren’t for me, she wouldn't have..."Daniel did not speak. His entire body quaked as he continued to hold my corpse.Bruce walked over to Erin. "Go home.""But—""Go!"His voice was cold.Erin bit her lip and left.I watched as my fathers huddled around my body.Daniel's tears dripped onto my face as he clung tight to my corpse.Bruce's hands trembled as he knelt nearby.Jack stood at the doorway with his back toward the group."I killed her."Jack’s voice shattered the silence.Daniel looked up at him sharply.Jack turned around to reveal bl

Erin got to her feet and roughly wiped the blood from her mouth. "That woman was in my mother's way back then, so my mother had her killed."It's the same with April. She was hogging you, so I sent her to her mother's side. "You don't love her anyway, so what's wrong with getting rid of a pest?"Daniel's body swayed.Erin scoffed. "Did you really think I was some innocent little doll? What a joke. I've been lying from the very start. All three of you were just so stupid that you believed me when I started pulling the victim card."She then pointed to my gravestone. "She begged you for help before she died, and you all hung up on her. Can you imagine how much despair she must've felt before she died?" Erin ended her tirade with a little giggle.Bruce lunged forward and grabbed her by the neck.Erin struggled violently, her cheeks flushing a splotchy red."Let go of her, Bruce," Daniel called out.Bruce gritted his teeth as he released her.She collapsed to the ground, gasping f
