Twisted Cravings

My body drifted in the river for five years before a fishing enthusiast reeled it in. Even though the forensic pathologist managed to reconstruct my face from when I was alive through craniofacial reconstruction technology, the hatred my brother had for me remained as strong as ever. "That better be her body! She has been on the run for five years! Even in death, she doesn't deserve pity! In fact, it simply is a disgrace to have a murderer like her as the daughter of the Clarke family!" he hissed. Everyone thought he despised me with every fiber of his being. Yet, as he spoke, his entire body trembled. Who would have guessed that the distress call I made to him five years ago would end up becoming the main factor that hastened my death?

"ความผิดของท่านพี่มิใช่ความผิดของข้า ทำไมข้าจะต้องมารับเคราะห์แทนนางด้วย เรื่องจริงหรือไม่ท่านมั่นใจได้อย่างไร? ข้าเชื่อว่าท่านพี่ปรากฏตัวในสักวันหนึ่ง เมื่อนั้นท่านต้องสืบสาวราวเรื่องหาข้อเท็จจริงเสียก่อน เป็นถึงท่านแม่ทัพก็ต้องมีความยุติธรรม ไม่ใช่อยุติธรรม หากเป็นเช่นดั่งที่ว่าไว้ ข้าน้อยยินดีรับผิดแทนท่านพี่แต่โดยดี" อะไรทำให้ฉันพูดอย่างนี้ออกไปนะ เสี่ยวเยา รนหาที่ตายแท้ๆ "ได้! ในเมื่อเจ้ากล้าพูดเช่นนี้กับข้า..." นิ้วชี้ที่เรียวยาวของท่านแม่ทัพจับลำคอขาวนวลของนาง ไว้ แม้จะไม่ออกแรงใดๆ แต่เหมือนจะบอกเป็นในว่า 'หัวเจ้าจะหลุดออกจากบ่าแน่นอน' ท่านแม่ทัพผู้นี้เปลือกนอกงดงามดั่งกว่าบุรุษทั้งหมดในใต้หล้า น่าเสียดายที่ถูกจารึกไว้ซึ่ความโหดเหี้ยมของเขาไว้ในหน้าประวัติศาสตร์

I returned home after studying abroad for three years, only to find that my brother’s girlfriend had brought her entire family to live in my mansion. The moment they saw me, they pinned me against the floor. "How dare you! Call him your sweetheart, spend his money, and now you're here to take my mansion? " When I saw the girlfriend’s crazed antics, I was shocked. “Who did you say owns the mansion?” “It’s my boyfriend’s, but it’ll be mine sooner or later. It has nothing to do with you.” With her parents, she yanked off the ancient pendant on my neck and crushed my heirloom bracelet. They even tied up my limbs, put me on the table, and positioned me in a humiliating pose to post online. Her brother pinned my legs down and reached under my shirt…

Five years had gone by since my death. The cops called my mom and told her they got news about me. My mother and brother marched to my grandmother's home and kicked her door down. "Where's Charlie? That shameless woman has been hiding from us far too long. Her brother needs her cornea, and she's giving it to him!" "Charlie's dead," said my grandmother, sobbing. My mother sneered. "As if. The cops called us. They said they had her news. Hand her over or get out of the house, you hag." My grandmother looked at her daughter, tears streaming down her cheeks. With trembling hands, she took my photo out. "I wonder if you've ever regretted saving your brother, Charlie."

Laura, a single mother, had recently moved into Lorenzo's home, hoping to provide her daughter, Isabella, with a father figure. She wasn't aware that the man she had fallen in love with was a devil—a Mafia boss who was there to ruin her life and that of her daughter. "Isabella, you are mine; you belong to me and no one else. Those who think about you are seeking death," Lorenzo said, raising her chin with a deep voice dripping with threat. Isabella's face was filled with defiance. "I hate you, Lorenzo." He cackled, "But you can't stop saying 'yes, Daddy,' which means your hate doesn't matter because I can't get enough of you, Isabel." Laura was more worried about having a sweet family, while Lorenzo was only interested in sex. “She is still a child; I am sure she will come around,” Lorenzo assured Laura when she expressed concern about Isabella not recognizing him as a father. Sleeping with a mother and daughter while being a crime ring boss—that is the way of a Mafia boss who will be ruined by a hot 18.
