Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Don Married My Sister, I Had One Day Left: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

A used ampoule fell out of my pocket. My mother saw it and quickly kicked it under the sofa. "More headache medicine, I assume. There are a lot of guests today, so don't take it out where people can see it."Everyone watched her do it, but nobody cared, because in their eyes this was just another one of my little performances.Lucian came over and smoothed my hair back. "The Family announcement is today. Be sincere about this. Once Elena isn't angry anymore, I'll still take you home tonight and our engagement stands. Be good."The moment he finished, Elena threw a maid's apron at me. "There's nothing else in the house, so just make do with this, Cassie."She led me into a bedroom herself, but she had deliberately left a freshly opened box of ultra-thin condoms on the table. The bed was covered with toys of every kind and lingerie, and my own things had been dumped in the trash.Beside the trash can was a hotel welcome card. Registered guests: Lucian, Elena.The date was the day the org

When the dinner started, Lucian noticed something was wrong with my face and helped me inside to sit down.He saw how pale I was and assumed I was cold, so he draped a wool coat over my shoulders. "Elena is only sulking. Don't take it to heart."Every time he ordered clothes from a tailor, he told them not to use wool. But today was the one day he forgot I was allergic to it."If Cassie won't wear it, will you put it on me instead?" Elena said, sweet and coaxing.The guests teased us. "Those two were closest of anyone as children, and now that the younger one's home, the older one's jealous. Cassie was spoiled from the start. Of course she should give way to a sister who's suffered."Marcus put a pen in my hand. "Sign the agreement, apologize to Elena, and this is over for good."The agreement was pushed in front of me again.I shook my head, stubborn. "My grandmother left that to me." My father was out of patience. "Stop being willful, Cassie. Nobody has time for your scenes today. Si

The police had the doctor take my body away, and the hospital held it for the time being.The medical records and test results Elena had torn up, along with the pharmacy receipts, were pieced back together sheet by sheet and laid out in front of them all.Lucian still refused to accept it. "Cassie isn't dead. She was tired, she's only sleeping..."In the interrogation room an officer pressed him. "The victim told you repeatedly and clearly that she was critically ill. Why did you refuse to let her get treatment?"Lucian's voice was full of self-blame. "I thought she was joking with me. Ever since she was little she liked using illness to avoid things. It never occurred to me it could be real this time. I only wanted her to break the habit.""She told you plainly that she wouldn't last the day.""I thought she was just sulking."In the next room, my parents and Marcus told an identical story."We watched her grow up. How could we hurt her? We locked the door because we were afraid she'd

When the maid finished, my mother wept aloud. "I only exchanged a few extra words with the vendor. I never thought Elena would wander off."She had buried the truth to escape the blame.The maid was dismissed for negligence, and even after my father learned the truth later, he never showed any intention of clearing my name."It's over and done with. Don't bring it up again.""We've come this far. Who takes the blame is a small thing."Elena knew perfectly well herself. She simply hated me, her sister, more than she hated our mother.I got to grow up inside the Family, while she had to live in someone else's house.Lucian drove his fist into the glass in front of him."So all of you knew the whole time that Cassie was innocent?"The only answer he got was silence.The letters between the two of them were dug up.Before the wedding, Elena had asked him, "What if Cassie gets upset?""Cassie is easy to soothe. I apologize and it's fine."Elena pressed further, "What if she loses her temper

Elena had the longest sentence, and by the time she came out she was the only one left. Everything she had been promised was gone. The organization had collapsed because of her, and everyone called her a witch.She was walking down the street with no destination when she caught sight of a dress in a shop window. It was the one she had worn on her wedding day.She mistook the salesgirl inside for me, charged in, and grabbed her by the hair. "Cassie, weren't you dead? Why are you still taking my things? You took Dad, Mom, my brother, and Lucian, and that still isn't enough? Now you want my gown too?"The salesgirl was knocked to the floor and people rushed to pull them apart. Elena was dragged off and sat on the floor, wailing. "Say something! Why won't you answer me!"But when she opened her eyes, everything around her terrified her. My face was gone and all that was left was wreckage. Her mind broke and they committed her to a psychiatric hospital. Sometimes she remembered the past and
