Novel & Cerita My Sister Wore My Engagement Ring

I instructed, my voice firmer than I felt. The grand hall gleamed, every table set to perfection, the chandeliers lit with warm light that failed to make the place feel alive. I took one long look at the glittering room and told myself it was good enough. It had to be. Because today was the day of my sister’s engagement. Not the kind every girl dreamed of, the one that came with whispered laughter, stolen glances, and choice. No, my sister Alessia was being given to Alpha Nolan Greyson, a man whose name alone was enough to still have conversations. A man described with words like ruthless and merciless.

I walked fast, passed the actual bathrooms, then ducked through a service door And froze. Because leaning against the wall in a backless navy gown and holding a half-drunk glass of champagne was my sister. Her eyes narrowed. “You do know our old man will lose his shit if he finds out you’re sneaking out of your own engagement party, right?” I groaned. “Sis, please—just… cover for me.” She snorted. “I can’t. The old man hates me as it is. If he finds out you’ve pulled a disappearing act, he’ll 100% believe I influenced you.”

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO THE WEDDING OF KAYDEN WOLF SMITH & SKYLAR CANDY CAMPBELL… But what had my stomach churning painfully was the date on the bottom of the geode. This wasn’t happening. It couldn’t be. How could they do something like this? Wed me to my deceased sister’s fiancée? “Ohhh, look at that. She likes it.” Mom announced clasping her chest, and cheers broke around the table.

Jade elbowed her sister in the side, shushing her. I tried not to laugh at the sister battle that started in front of me. I remembered my own battles with my sister. Instinctively I looked down at the gold ring on my finger. "Thank you. I can't wait to read it." I said taking it out of Remy's small hands. The two girls beamed at me, giggling as they turned around and ran back to their mother. I smiled at her, giving her a nod of my head. She smiled back at me, and started walking down the stairs.

I didn’t know that one night could ruin everything. If I had known, I would have stayed home. I would have ignored the invitation, ignored the dress laid neatly on my bed, and definitely not ignored the voice in my head telling me that I didn’t belong there. But it was my sister’s engagement party. And she has been there for me even during times I didn’t know I needed someone. And she wanted me there, that alone was enough to make me go. Getting to the venue, it was everything I expected elegant, expensive, and perfect, Just like her.

I turned away and start walking towards my room. Sister, my ass! I said in my head. There's no way she is his sister. That beautiful? And did anybody noticed that big diamond ring on her finger? But then again, I didn't saw any ring on Mike... Well, he will explain, and this will all be a huge misunderstanding. I think.

Nobody even noticed me, too caught up in their world of wealth and privilege. Dodging my way through the glittering crowd, it hit me right in the chest, this wasn't any party; it was an engagement party. I knew that the moment I saw the couple at the center of it all. My heart plummeted the second my eyes found Lena, my sister, my own blood, standing next to Liam, her arm linked through his like they'd been together forever. She sparkled under the chandelier in that flowy gown of hers, Liam, the same person who once whispered sweet promises into my ear, still claiming that he was still in love with me, was smiling down at her. I felt sick.

Out of all the men in the world, the one I had hooked up with twelve hours ago was sitting across the table from me, sipping my father’s wine while discussing his engagement to my sister. Yes, My Sister! My chest tightened, and I felt my stomach drop. The fork in my hand trembled. I stole a quick glance at them. His fingers were entwined with hers, a half-smile resting on his lips. The same fingers that had left marks around my neck. The same lips that had swept across my whole body.

“Erm… Ginevra, right?” My sister turns to her with her nose scrunched up in disgust as I act nice. “Oh, hey. Hi, Elena. Ah, that’s my sister, Roberta.” We shake hands while my sister refuses and Elena smiles uncomfortably, introducing us to her friend, sitting beside her. As she moves her hand demonstratively, her giant diamond ring shines in the spotlights, catching my attention. “So, I see you finally got yours as well!” I force a smile while I would like to rip her hair off her head. “Yeah, last week.” She says, rolling her eyes while showing off the huge stone.

My make-up was light, consisting mainly of mascara, winged eyeliner and red lipstick to bolden the look. I knew my mama would be proud of the look, just as Tori had been by the choice. I had clearly grown more than I thought with my time spent with Draken whose gaze landed on my ring finger where both my engagement and wedding rings were back. His small smile took me aback, my reaction forgotten as the bubble that seemed to always surround us popping at the sound of my little sister's voice. Ah hell, I forgot she was here.... I've been losing my cool a lot around her...
