Chapter 1

With quick steps and a strong stomp, I circled the mansion. I'm sure I now have an unfriendly look on my face with two frowns on my forehead just because of one person who didn't understand his responsibilities. That man should have been ready and greeting the guests, not disappearing and hiding like a child playing hide-and-seek.

"Cony?" I called several times, but there was no response.

I don't know where that man had gone, but I struggled to find him. There was no connection between us even though we were engaged. It felt like a massive wall was blocking us, and we were just going through the motions.

The engagement between me and Cony was not my wish at all. Dad had arranged everything, from who I could hang out with to who I would marry later. And the choice fell on Cony, the would-be alpha who was quite famous for his large family.

Dad never asked me if I would live with him or how I felt. He did everything with his thoughts and desires. I didn't refuse, not because I was interested. But for the sake of the family's good name that I have been upholding. And, of course, because he chose her for me. I would obey all his orders although this sounds very unfair.

Then, I turned down the corridor that connected the guest rooms with the main room. At that moment, I sighed and looked down to see the black high heels I was wearing. "Damn, it feels like I'm walking on iron," grunted I, who now felt that my feet felt so stiff because of these ten-centimetre heels.

I still couldn't even control my expression and stared at each pillar like I would punch it. "Does she know what she's doing? What a hassle."

Then I looked down and saw the shoes I was wearing again. Mom had prepared everything on my bed before I even dreamed. She arranged what I would wear today and contacted the dresser without my consent. It didn't feel good. I'm not used to painful shoes like this.

Ignoring the aching in my legs that wouldn't go away, I walked back to explore some areas that I hadn't visited yet. 

Suddenly, I heard something from one of the rooms I passed.

"Cony! Cony! Press me deeper!" shouted the voice with a clear sigh. 

My heart was beating quite fast, and some prejudices started to haunt me. I held my breath, then strolled to a place with a slightly open door. My hands were somewhat sweaty. Some conjectures came out of nowhere and made me tense.

That's when I saw it. Right before my eyes, I saw Cony riding a woman underneath him. A face I recognised very clearly. It was Jane, my step-sister who had been living with me.

Looking at the two engrossed in the struggle, I smiled a little. There was no pain in my chest when I saw this betrayal. It's just that there was something that felt so tight and struggled out from inside my chest. It was pretty excruciating, and when I realised it. I realised I was disappointed.

We had been engaged for quite some time. And that man was sleeping with my sister in my own house. In fact, we were going to get married soon.

So, after taking a solid breath, I opened the room door quite loudly. I calmly said, "Wow, it's great that you guys are doing this before me."

When I said that, I could see that Cony and Jane were shocked and turned to me with wide eyes. But unfortunately, that didn't last long. Because crazily, the man who was my fiancé resumed his insane activity of riding Jane. They finished it without thinking about my presence in front of the door.

"Cony!" cried Jane with her eyes closed. In fact, the woman still managed to smile proudly and rubbed Cony's face as if she was adoring her. Crazy things like this, I don't understand.

Then, I saw Jane glance at me and smile wryly. "You even did it to the end," I said disgustingly.

Cony then got up. I looked away as the man put on his pants before my eyes. Shamelessly, he walked over with the smell of his body after fucking Jane. They were sweating profusely, and it felt very disgusting to me.

"You should realise I don't want to marry a statuesque woman like you." The man snorted vigorously in front of my face, then said again, "All this time, you have always refused to let me touch you."

Hearing his absurd defence, I smiled sarcastically. "Oh, you deserve to touch Jane." Now, I fled my gaze to the woman standing by Cony's side with a blanket on her body. My lungs just shot up, and I said, "Because she's a cheap woman!"

The woman looked offended and immediately delivered a slap to my face. But, I was no match for her because I could catch the skinny arm of the ignorant woman who dared to cross the territorial line.

I stared intently at Jane. "Aren't you happy about me saying that you're a slut?"

Jane immediately pulled her hand away and shouted, "Get off me, damn it!"

I rolled my eyes in disgust. It is evident that this woman was acting. My grip was not that painful and robust. You see, she even pretended to fall, so Cony had to catch her like a cheap drama.

Especially when Cony, with his lousy acting, yelled at me, "Lea! You're terrible! How could you do this to your sister?"

The man's voice echoed throughout the long corridor I had travelled. I was sure that after this, they would do something crazy that never even crossed my mind.

And right on cue, Cony fixed me with a glare and anger in her eyes. "You rude woman! How could you hurt your sister, who has a weak body!?"

I was fed up with this crazy man in my presence. He continued to act like a hero despite cheating. And he even acted as if Jane was the victim here. 

He wasn't wrong if Jane did have a weak body, as the woman fell ill very often while doing chores around the house. But still, Jane and Cony's actions could not be justified.

And now, I can see the lies in that cunning woman's eyes. Just see how she can smile faintly with that mocking glint in her eye. This snake woman had obviously been planning this scam for a long time.

I snorted lazily. "Ah, you two are indeed very compatible."

And Cony, with her loud voice just snapped at me. "Oh, I'll never marry you! Never!"

The man gasped at his own words. His eyes looked at me angrily. "No man will ever marry you! I guarantee it! You bitch!"

I shook my head lightly and looked at the two people still on the floor in inappropriate clothing. "Bitch? Jane is the one you should be calling a bitch! Because she slept with a man who will marry another woman!"

Our voices echoed each other, and I didn't care about that. Until then, the sound of hurried steps jolted towards us. I turned my head while Cony and Jane got up from the floor to adjust the blanket that was about to sag from the shameless woman's body.

I saw that my father and stepmother came along with Cony's parents. They walked hurriedly and approached us. Dad, who was already wearing a black suit, immediately asked me. "What's going on?"

I immediately answered and pointed at Jane, "Father, look what they've done. They were having an affair behind my back." I wanted you to see what Jane had done. That woman wasn't even dressed appropriately.

My father didn't answer and instead looked at Jane. I thought he should be angry. But I was wrong. Because now all I see are watery eyes and a reddened nose and Jane. The woman made a sad face and covered her mouth.

"Dad," Jane called in a trembling voice.

I turned my head with my eyebrows knitted together. Jane let out her crocodile tears that now looked so sickening. The woman let out a small sob. "Dad, look, she wanted to hurt me. Lea pushed me down. I was so scared, Dad. She's so rude."

Those nonsensical remarks disgusted me, moreover, when Cony tightened his hug on Jane as if to say that I had committed a crime.

At that moment, you stared at me with your sharp eyes. And what you did next, I didn't expect. My father rudely slapped me until my face turned in the other direction.

The heat left by my father's palm felt so burning. I was shocked. I looked into your eyes with a heart that seemed to stop beating. "Why did you slap me? It was them who had the affair!"

But he looked at me even more sharply. The man gasped and, this time immediately shouted angrily, "You!"

I was even more shocked when you pointed at me with your hand. That man looking at me like this finished me off right then and there. Then, he shouted again, "This is such a big problem! "As an older sister, you should be able to hide it well!"

Father rubbed his face roughly. This time, he glared at me like I had made an unforgivable, fatal mistake. "What if the guests find out? Are you going to take responsibility?"

At that moment, I winced in disbelief. This was too crazy, I thought. They were at fault. Why should I be responsible? At that moment, I realized something. I smiled slightly, remembering that Jane had been the one to receive special treatment from our father. In fact, that woman wasn't even his flesh and blood.

I was at a loss for words. What I had just heard had broken my heart just like that. It felt like I wasn't part of this family. All of this felt unfair to me. "Of course, the two of them should take responsibility for what they've done."

Then, I took a breath and clenched my fists tightly. "And I don't want to marry a dirty man like him!"

But Cony casually replied, "Yes, of course, I won't marry you." Look at that! Look at how Cony's face feels no guilt for having committed infidelity in front of me. That face was disgusting, and I wanted to beat it to death.

But reality slapped me even harder. With no heart, my father supported her. "Yes, Cony should only marry Jane, not you! You're a disgrace to the family and aren't needed here!"

It felt like my heart was being squeezed hard. It didn't stop there. "From now on, there's no need to come back to this house. You are a disgrace to the family! Go far away and never come back!"

It felt like there was nothing left but so much hatred for all of them. I looked at them one by one, keeping their faces in my memory and never forgetting them. My hands were clenched tightly, and this feeling of anger was getting bigger and bigger.

And look at that, how Jane is smiling triumphantly behind those fake tears. So, I took a rough breath and raised my chin high. "Okay!"

"You'll see!" Well, you'll see how I repay you for what you've done to me. The humiliation and hatred that you had instilled in me, I would use to wipe you all out in the future.

And so, I turned around and walked away quickly. I only turned my head once to confirm the people I would avenge when I got up. Just then, I saw the face of my stepmother, who was smiling mockingly at me. Damn! It turns out that the father has been keeping a mother and daughter wolf in sheep's clothing in his house!
