My Fate Changed With the Wind
On my eighteenth birthday, my brother Seth brought back my twin sister. She had been snatched from me by kidnappers as a child.
She claimed she had nothing, not a single thing to call her own.
Seth gave her everything: my room, my dresses, and my awards.
He even gave her my childhood fiancé, forcing him to break off our engagement and marry her in a wedding that would take the world by storm.
I tried to resist, but Seth scolded me for being childish.
"She's your blood sister, yet you complain about every little thing. If you can't learn to be kind, I can't call you my sister anymore."
My sister, Serena, fell into the swimming pool later that day and nearly drowned. When she woke up, she cried to our brother, claiming I had pushed her.
My brother, Seth, was furious. He sent me away to a remote mountain village.
"If you can't learn to be kind, you'll spend the rest of your life here, atoning for your sins.
"You can come back only when you kneel before Serena and apologize."
Five years passed. Serena and my fiancé held a high-profile engagement ceremony.
The entire city celebrated their grand love, certain they would have a happily ever after together.
Then, Seth finally remembered me. "Sylvie, five years have passed. Have you learned kindness yet?"
I nodded calmly with a blank expression on my face.
"Seth, I will kneel before her and apologize."
He smiled, praising me for finally being sensible. However, he did not know that I had received a critical medical notice.
I had only five days left to live.
