Bad Sister

My sister-in-law finally became pregnant at fifty. But the family parrot, Pip, suddenly said, “Abort it. Abort it.” Hearing this, I immediately forced my sister-in-law to go to the hospital to get an abortion. My brother and parents desperately stopped me. They shouted, “Have you gone mad? Do you trust an animal’s words?” I nodded and answered firmly, “Yes. I believe everything Pip says.”

The Don of the Falcieri family was assassinated by a rival family, leaving behind his widowed wife, Livia. His younger brother, my husband Caius, took his place as Don. With the title came a duty: to secure the Falcieri bloodline by putting a child in his brother's widow. "Alessia's been barren for years. It falls to Livia to do what she couldn't. The Falcieri family cannot be without an heir." The Madre's voice dripped with scorn. Caius held me close, whispering promises. "As soon as Livia is pregnant, I swear I'll never touch her again." "Alessia, you're the only one I love." Three months, and he hasn't set foot in our bedroom. After he ignored me in front of everyone, choosing Livia time and time again, I finally left. I took what was mine and left one thing behind: a DNA test. It was my final gift to Caius.

At the age when I should have been attending university, I was framed by my biological parents and sent to prison. My sister had been cruelly killed by her kidnappers when she tried to save me, and they blamed me for her death. On the day of my release, I was kidnapped and had one of my ears cut off. When I found the opportunity, I immediately called my father, asking him to save me. Instead, he snapped, saying, “You’re no longer my son! Don’t contact me!” I was then burned alive. After I died, my sister returned. However, when my parents found out that the charred corpse was mine, the family crumbled.

Gagawin ni Bivianne Cordova ang lahat para lang maging isang perfect na anak. She'll aim for the top all the time, kahit na sino pa ang makabangga niya. Academics? Sisiguraduhin niyang hinding-hindi na siya matatalo pa ni Yeshua Tada sa number one spot sa buong school. Sports? Hinding-hindi na niya hahayaang matalo pa ng Fahrenheit Academy sa futsal. And she'll do all that to please her mom. Ngunit nang ipakilala ni Zenith Cordova sa kaniya ang isang lalaki, nagkaroon ng kalituhan sa kaniyang puso. She didn't want to date that guy with marriage in mind. Dahil isa lang ang gusto niyang makasama at pakasalan. Makakaya niya kayang suwayin ang ina sa unang pagkakataon para makasama si Oxem? O susuko na lang ito sa mga pagsubok na kanilang kahaharapin?

Of all the pups in the clan, my parents only loved my brother and sister, but not me. When the fire broke in the pack, they hurried into the flames to save their pups, but only took my brother and sister. Left behind, I suffered facial burns and my wolf grew extremely weak. From then on, I lost interest in fighting for their love. Whoever wanted them, could have them. After all, I was already dying. But I did not anticipate their regret. They held my thin frail body and begged: “Could you throw a little tantrum at us again… just once more?”
