My Sister Steals Everything I Wanted So I Give Her All의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

My mother placed the divorce agreement in front of me."Sign them. Zelda has her whole life ahead of her. She can't be the other woman who breaks up someone else's marriage."She emphasized, "This is what Nicholas wants, too."The agreement contained 105 clauses, each one severing another tie between Nicholas and me.It covered not only our relationship but also the division of our assets.The agreement stated that I had no claim to any of Nicholas's assets. I was to walk away from the marriage with nothing.But the first project he could proudly put his name on was one I'd brought to life, visiting the site day after day and staying up night after night working on the plans.His original proposal was riddled with flaws. I was the one who went over it again and again, carefully refining every detail.He'd cheated on me and still expected me to walk away with nothing? He could dream on.I swallowed the bitterness in my mouth before speaking. "I'll sign, but the agreement needs to be rev

Even though I'd long known how biased my parents were, I never imagined they'd go so far as to frame me for cheating with a beggar just for Zelda.Nicholas fixed me with a smoldering, tightly restrained glare. His voice was hoarse with the effort of holding back his rage."Lauren, you schemed against me and humiliated me. Just how much do you despise me?"He gripped my wrist so tightly it felt as though he wanted to tear me apart.I looked into his bloodshot eyes, and my heart suddenly ached.I turned my head, took a deep breath, and explained, "I have nothing to do with them. Paternity tests can be faked. I'm not taking the blame for something I never did.""I've got proof!"Nicholas had kicked the beggar so hard he was barely alive. The moment he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood. He pointed an accusing finger at me and said, "Lauren has a butterfly-shaped birthmark on her chest. Only someone close to her would know about it."And my son looks almost exactly like her!

Time seemed to lose all meaning.The smell of blood lingering in my nostrils slowly gave way to the stench of rotting flesh.No one came into the room again. Tormented by thirst, hunger, and blood loss, I clung to life by sheer force of will.I counted each time the sky grew light outside my window.I knew that by the third dawn, Nicholas would take me to the hospital for an abortion. That would be my only chance to escape.I could barely sleep. Every passing second, my thoughts were consumed by pain.At last, the third dawn arrived.My vision was blurred by a haze of red. All I could make out was a figure untying the restraints around my wrists and ankles before placing a bowl of hot soup in my hands.Instinct took over. I threw my head back and gulped down the hot soup without a second thought. The scalding liquid blistered my mouth and throat, but compared with the torment I'd endured over the past few days, that pain was nothing.The faint feeling of fullness helped clear my head a

The moment Zelda saw the look on Nicholas's face, she abruptly regained her composure.That was right. He hadn't wanted her in the first place.She had bribed his driver to get hold of Nicholas's hotel key card while he was away on a business trip. Then she'd deliberately drugged him and slept with him. The pregnancy had been an accident.At first, Nicholas tried to keep the whole thing under wraps by resorting to both threats and promises.It was only after she suggested using the situation to test Lauren's true feelings that he reluctantly agreed to let her keep the baby for the time being.The only reason things between her and Nicholas were relatively peaceful now was that she'd framed Lauren as having an affair with a beggar.Beneath the covers, Zelda slowly clenched her fists. The familiar jealousy and anger surged within her, and once again, she couldn't suppress the resentment she felt toward Lauren.But it didn't matter. By her calculations, the divorce agreement should have t

Sebastian was getting a headache just listening to Nicholas. He sat down beside him and tried to reason with him. "Maybe it started as a scheme, but what about everything that came after?"Nicholas said nothing.Frustrated by his stubborn refusal to see reason, Sebastian punched him again."So what if she was scheming? When her parents weren't playing favorites, they practically worshiped the ground she walked on. If she hadn't walked out of the ballroom at that matchmaking event three years ago, you might not even have had a chance to meet her, even with your status today."Nicholas instinctively shot back, "Zelda is a York, too. She genuinely loves me.""Then why wasn't she the first one to come to your rescue when you got into trouble?"Nicholas frowned.Sebastian hinted, "Last time I worked with someone from Lauren's old circle, Zelda's name came up by chance. His reaction was a little strange, but it was clear he didn't think much of her."Nicholas, who told you Lauren was schemin
