Chapter 4

Author: Little Nine
I picked up the flowers and tried not to look at Nicole.

I thought that she would leave if she got bored.

To my surprise, she tormented me even more. She yanked my hair and shouted, “I’m talking to you! Can’t you hear me? Moon, you’ve gotten really brave, huh? You won’t even nod or shake your head now!”

I shook my head weakly, like I always did.

Nicole smiled smugly and said, “Since you’re so pitiful, I’ll let it slide this time. How about this? Get on your knees, and I’ll buy all your flowers. Deal?”

I looked at her pitifully and typed on my phone. [Please don’t make me do this.]

Nicole scoffed. “Moon, you really don’t get it, do you? I’m actually doing you a favor. I’m helping you meet your sales goal. You should be grateful.”

When I did not move, she got fed up. She stepped on my face and forced it against the cold ground.

My forehead stung, probably because a sharp rock cut into it.

Laughter filled my earpiece, and tears of shame ran down my face as Nicole rubbed her shoe on me.

Eventually, she stopped and pulled out 200 bucks. She tossed it at me with a smirk and said, “Here, take this and buy something nice for your parents. It’s Valentine’s Day after all.”

She walked away and acted as if she had done me a favor.

I felt humiliated. I tossed the money away and struggled to stand up.

Suddenly, someone pointed a bright camera at my face.

He looked like a person who did street interviews.

“Excuse me, miss! Can I ask why you refused to accept the 200 dollars? Don’t you want to take your parents out for a nice meal on Valentine’s Day?”

I covered my face and stumbled away.

After all, I was the Clinton family’s heiress. If people found out who I was, it would embarrass Nathan.

However, the streamer shamelessly followed me. “Come on, miss. Just answer the question. I can get our sponsor to help you out.”

I could not take it anymore. Right then, I turned around and shouted, “Go away!”

The streamer was shocked by my reaction, but I continued to run forward.

All of a sudden, a speeding truck came around the corner.

I was in the driver’s blind spot, so he ran over me with his truck.

The people around me gasped and screamed in shock.

I felt a sharp pain and coughed up blood, yet I strangely felt relieved.

Was I about to die?

If I was, that would be okay.

I could finally be with my mom and dad again.

If you asked me what my one wish in life was, I would just say I wanted a different brother.

Some time later, my spirit floated out of my body.

I was shocked to see the police and ambulance stopping at the side of the road. They quickly put up barriers around my crushed body.

It was true that I was dead, but I was still aware of everything.

Then, without warning, I began to float toward Nathan. I could not stop myself no matter what.

I even tried to hold on to the doorframe, but it felt like I was meant to be near him.

God, did you not hear my wish?

I clearly said that I wanted a different brother.
