All Chapters of All My Suffering Was in Their Script: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

My brother, John Garrett, heard a noise and looked over in my direction.Ignoring the system prompts, I instinctively hid in the bushes beside the pool.When Mom, Amy Dillon, heard that my long-lost sister, Helen Burch, was finally willing to come home, tears welled up in her eyes.She looked at Dad, Thomas Garrett, who was still frozen in shock."Did you hear that? Helen just said she's willing to come home."Dad snapped back to reality and pulled Helen and Mom into a tight embrace.John let out a sigh of relief and said to Helen, "You troublemaker. It took us three whole years to finally get you to trust us fully." My childhood friend, Ivan Jeffson, gently took Helen's hand and teased her, "I pretended to have a broken leg for three years because of you. When we get back, you'd better think of a good way to repay me, my princess." Helen looked at my parents awkwardly and said, "It's all my fault. I've been so unfair to Nina all these years. If she finds out..."Mom immedia

Helen's face went pale as she screamed.The moment my slap landed, Ivan stopped pretending to limp and rushed over. He shoved me hard, sending me sliding several feet across the sand."Nina, have you lost your mind?" Ivan yelled at me.My back scraped along the sand and gravel. The pain was so intense that I couldn't even speak.Helen covered her face and burst into tears. "I don't want to go home anymore..."John walked over with a grim expression and struck the back of my head.The last thing I saw before I blacked out was the Favoritism Meter above their heads rising sharply.I smiled in satisfaction and lost consciousness.I had no idea how long I'd been out. Through the haze, I heard Ivan's urgent voice."You hit her way too hard! She's completely out cold!"John raised his voice. "You're blaming me? Nina's back is covered in wounds from the gravel!"He let out a heavy sigh. "We really went too far this time. Should we continue with the final test?"Ivan replied, "Mayb

My skin instantly broke out in blisters. Pain surged through my entire body, and my screams pierced the sky.On the beach, John and Ivan, who were waiting for the boat, immediately turned toward the forest.John remarked, "Did Nina really have to scream like that? She's only tied up there.""Helen was hanging there for so long earlier, and she didn't make a single sound," Ivan remarked.Before they could dwell on it, my parents arrived in a dune buggy, carrying bouquets.John hurried over and asked, "Nina was screaming just now. Dad, Mom, did you see what happened to her on the cameras?"My parents looked completely unconcerned."As soon as you left with Helen, we rushed straight over. We didn't have time to check the cameras," Dad said.Mom shrugged. "Don't worry. The actor you hired is keeping an eye on her. What could possibly happen?"Hearing that, John was relieved.The moment my parents got out of the buggy, they pulled Helen into a tight embrace."Your sister passed y

Three days later, at a morgue in Aloria, the nearest country to the island, the forensic pathologist pulled back the white sheet. It was the first time even he had seen a body in such a state. Yet after years of handling difficult cases, he remained composed and began the examination without hesitation. John had already seen my body before the autopsy. But even after preparing himself for the worst, he still had to clench his fists to keep from passing out when the sheet was lifted. Ivan stared at my body, his eyes red and bloodshot. Tears rolled down his face and fell silently to the floor. For the past three days, he had not slept at all. Every time he closed his eyes, my face would appear in his mind, leaving him sobbing uncontrollably. Off to the side, an assistant held up a digital tablet with my parents on the video call. Despite being hospitalized and hooked up to IV fluids after the devastating shock, they had insisted on hearing the autopsy findings via a video call.
