The Landlord's Sister Novels & Stories

Go fix her right now! "Otherwise, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my brother!" It had been less than thirty minutes, yet Charlotte already knew. Other than Liam, I couldn't think of anyone else who would have told her. As for this sister of mine–ever since she kicked me in the chest for Liam, I had already given up on her. My voice turned cold. "I should be the one saying I don't have a heartless sister like you." Ignoring the shock on her face, I kicked her out the door.

“Oh, you mean Miss Tarami and Mr Tonye…those sweet siblings; they were two of my best tenants. They never kept late-nights, never held noisy parties, kept their apartments and surroundings clean…” The landlady was really in the mood for storytelling, but time was of the essence for Pastor Alozie. “Thank you…we know all that. You see, they had a mother who was a teacher and a devoted Christian, so that wouldn’t surprise anyone. The landlady relaxed, as she knew she’d been told in a very diplomatic manner to keep her loud mouth shut and listen. “There is a problem,” Pastor Alozie began in the quiet room. “This problem concerns these two siblings, and is related to demonic activities going on s

A small, humorless smirk touched his lips. “You think it’s that simple?” My chest tightened. “It has to be,” I replied quickly. “There’s no other way.” “There’s always another way.” His tone was calm. Too calm. Like he had already thought about it. Like he had already decided. I shook my head. “No. Not this time.” I took a step back, putting more space between us. Between me and the problem. Between me and him. “You’re engaged to my sister, you would be married to her in less than a month” I continued, my voice steadier now, even though my heart was anything but steady. “Whatever happened that night shouldn’t have happened. It can’t happen again.”

she said casually, “but my sister is. She has kids around Anna’s age. They live in a really nice apartment complex near a school called Evercrest Academy.” She smiled slightly. “The school has a great reputation, and the neighborhood is safe. I can ask my sister for the landlord’s number and check if there’s an available apartment and even take you there to see it.” I raised an eyebrow. “Really? Won’t you be busy with work?”

I covered my stomach and smiled at her. "Yes. I want a son, but Kane says he wants a daughter." As soon as the words left my lips, I saw the fire of jealousy ignite in my sister's eyes. She clenched her fists tightly, forcing herself to suppress it. "Then eat more, Thalia. From now on, we sisters should live well together." Suddenly, a strange fragrance rushed into my nose. Both Kane and I collapsed to the ground. My sister looked at us viciously. "You're just as stupid as in your past life. Now I'll send you to the underworld!"

But hearing it from my sister’s own mouth… I feel like I’m failing for the nth times, as her brother. “I’ll protect you no matter what. Just promise me one thing?” Ayle didn’t answer, but she keeps her gaze on me. “Every inch of you, is worth it for me. Please, don’t ruin yourself.” -- My Sunday morning was supposed to be great. I was planning to pay my sister and her boyfriend a visit. I went for two hours ride to the countryside. I even wake up at seven in the freaking morning. But, guess what? I was the one who got surprised. I was welcomed by an empty apartment. The landlord said both of them has moved out, yet she doesn’t have any idea where to.

We all stared at each other in horror. "Is that him?" My sister asked again in an excited tone, jumping up from her seat. "Janet..." I groaned, rubbing my eyes. "What?! Who knows, maybe he's here to-” She went silent immediately as we all heard the voice. It's the landlord. "Now what?" She whispered, worriedly. "I will take care of it. Go to your rooms, now." "But Sophia..." Nick tried to protest but Janet held his hand and drag him away.

I couldn't fall. The figure glanced back. Even through the mask, I could see their eyes widen. They hadn't expected me to follow. They'd expected me to stand by the lake, screaming and crying, the way normal people would. But I wasn't normal. I was Alice's sister. And I was done being scared. "You can't outrun me!" I yelled. "I've been running my whole life!" The figure veered left, toward the old maintenance shed near the edge of campus. I'd seen it before, a crumbling building covered in vines, its windows boarded up, its door rusted shut.
