" Mr. Anderson! Please try to understand that she doesn't match our family's taste. Also, Odette will live in our hearts forever as our only Daughter-in-law for William. So please reconsider the proposal!"
I can hear my sister's In-laws snorting once my father invited them into our house. This time not as my sister's in-law but mine.I thought they knew about my sister's last wish. It seems like my sister left a message for Dad and Me.I pinch my hand, as I am standing on downstairs, wearing a pink gown. No, not because this dress is my favourite. But because my sister's favourite colour is pink. My mother sent the dress to wear." I understand. But I can't do anything. Mr. Fernandez. We have been friends for years. Our family is best friends as well. The thing is that my daughter, Odette wished to see her sister marry her fiancé before she was killed. She left her last wish!"My father's hopeless sigh and his weak shaky hand reach the table, placing the phone on it. " I want to save our relationship. Seems like Odette was thinking the same. If you still don't want to. We don't mind!"" For the sake of our years of friendship! You should allow Juliette to be your son's wife. If William marries another woman, it will be very awkward for us to get along with each other again!" My mother almost pleads, she can't let her daughter's last wish go, at any cost.The Fernandez couple look at each other, after reading the message. Their expression turns dark and troubled." She isn't suitable for my son. She doesn't even have the slightest possibility to fit into our family! But we can consider!" Mr Fernandez rubs his forehead and speaks,"I don't think William will accept this. We love Odette. So we can't actually accept someone's replacement for her. We don't know what to do anymore!"Mr. Fernandez heaves a sigh." We will let our son decide. If he is fine with it. That's fine." Mrs. Fernandez grunts disappointedly." It's just, that Juliette doesn't match our society. She doesn't even look like Odette. Her appearance to her everything... It's so disappointing. I don't know if we will ruin our son's life by marrying him off with her. No offense but Odette is the best and irreplaceable girl for my son!"They keep commenting about my appearance again and again, here I am standing, listening to their honest opinions. And I agree with them. Someone like me doesn't deserve William.However, what should I do now? I don't want to marry my sister's Fiancé. Even though it's her last wish. But it's not right. How can I marry the man who my sister loved and the man who despises me and blames me for everything?Not knowing what to do, I grab my phone and walk inside my room. I didn't need to go downstairs. They would rather leave than come to talk to me. There is no reason to do it after all.Entering my room, I decided to put off my makeup. However, my attention goes to my phone when it buzzes. It's an unknown number.Receiving, I just respond in a low tone, " Hello, Who is it?"But a stinging sensation inside my heart stirs up when I hear a voice." Meet me at the French Café near your house. Right now!"It is William Fernandez, My sister's Fiancé. Hearing his voice, I can be sure, he is angry and pissed at me.Without delaying another second, as my knees are weak and my heart is filled with terror, fearing to get blamed for everything, I rush out.His commanding words force me to think I am the guilty one, turning me into an obedient criminal who wants to escape from these accusations.After two minutes, I find him sitting in the corner of the café, his weak eyes are on the Steaming coffee, lost in thoughts. As I walked before him, his weak eyes flamed up with anger and disgust." Already started trying to copy Odette? How disgusting you can be!"He eyes on my dress, the same dress that Mom bought for Odette in different sizes.I lower my eyes, not knowing what to say." Let's talk. Even breathing in the same room suffocates me. How can I expect to live under the same roof with the woman who is responsible for my Odette's death?" He doesn't mind talking those in my face.His eyes narrowed and cold, mirroring a profound sense of disgust against me. His jaw tightens with disdain, a palpable expression of disgust directed squarely at me. And I can do nothing but stay obedient to his command." We will get married!" He declares, his eyes are emotionless. " I don't know what Odette was thinking at that moment. But I will fulfil every wish of her. So is marrying you!"He glances at me as if he wants to squeeze my neck until I choke to death." But don't expect too much!" His hand forms a fist," I will never acknowledge you as my wife. The girl who I love and I will love forever is nobody but Odette."He walks off, no more words need to say. A sigh of relief momentarily leaves me as I watch him striding away from my sight.I know that, this wedding means nothing but an act of attempting to fulfill my sister's last wish. But, how can I keep going on like this? It hurts already. My bleeding heart doesn't stop bleeding. What if I become the reason for his suffering everyday. I don't know. I don't know what holds. But I am sure...I will lose my mind one day. He will keep remembering his tragedy by seeing me everyday. It should have been me who died not my sister. I don't have anything to do in this world. I am not someone's crazy love, I am not someone's favourite kid. I don't have any significant contribution to the society. So I should be the one to die.Now, I am lost. I don't find any way to escape...And what scares me more is,My Upcoming Uncertain Future...I look at the reflection of mine. Wraps in white, the heavy makeup, the praiseworthy efforts to make my face thin and sharp to create a new different person. The wedding gown I am wearing is the exact wedding gown that my sister's Fiancé chose for him. And today morning, he sent an entire package of my sister's wedding list. From the jewellery to her wedding gown. And he ordered, I must have to wear it because this is an exact dress with a different body size. I look at my eyes. They're blue. My hairdresser turned my hair blonde same as my sister's. My sister has a star tattoo beneath her bottom collarbone. So I got one on my collarbone.I am just a body, taking the place of my sister as a replacement. I am walking towards the uncertainties with terror in my every vein. I don't find myself in the crowd. " Is everything done? Everyone is waiting!"My father asks, they're in a rush. I heard my sister's friends will be bridesmaids. But they all hate me." Yes. Everything is ready. Ta
" Wake up!" When the cold water burns my skin, I am startled awake from my deep sleep. The entire body feels like it sizzles in the icy cold water. I look ahead and find my husband standing with a bucket, and a few Ice cubes on the bed." Get Ready. We will head home!"He storms out of the room. Judging by his mood, he is in the worst mood ever.A mocking laughter escapes from my lips. To be honest, I don't know how to feel about everything. That shit happens too fast that I can't grasp the situation at all. But what exhausted me more was that William changed into the opposite individual that he used to be in front of my sister. They have been dating, I didn't know anything about it since we never shared a single information. I completed my graduation staying in the dorm with my bestie. While she had her apartment. So who she dated, who she didn't. I didn't know.I met him once in a seminar, he was a graduate at that time, a topper and our professor liked him. He was invited to a
Author's POV...A sigh of relief escapes from her as everyone silently has their breakfast and leaves one after one. Anyone from the family doesn't complain about her food which makes her feel better after quickly preparing everything.Since she didn't bring anything with her, she walked into this house with her wedding gown. All medications and other personal belongings aren't available here. So as soon as she went near the fire, her headache increased. Now she silently washes the dishes while enduring the splitting headache.Anyway, her attention goes to the phone which buzzes. Every time her phone gets a notification, her heart shrinks with terror, reminding her of the past few weeks'hellish life. Still, she glances at the phone, finding the message belongs to her best friend, Freya who has been her roommate since they were in university.Placing everything in the right place, she grabs her phone and almost receives it until she finds her phone being snatched..." Who are you cal
-William-" You are so alive in my memories and those captured videos!"The girl I saw dancing, laughing, singing and always trying to keep me around her only exists in my heart and those old photos. She is forever Young, lovely and warm. She is a sweet, kind and thoughtful person who loves others more than she does to herself. But... She doesn't belong to me anymore. The universe took her away from me. But why? When I was going to be the happiest person in the world, she was taken away from my embrace. " William! Are you there?"I heard my mother's voice. Today is the third day of my wedding with the woman who I want to break and destroy so badly that she won't be able to call herself a human. A heartless inhumane person like her doesn't have the right to stay alive.But, my mother is on her decision. She wants me to impregnate her with my kids. This is bullshit but I don't want my mother crying ever again." What's wrong, Mom?"" Look! William! Stop spending your time here in fr
Author's POV..." It is unacceptable! Because of her, Brother scolded me. Mom. I hate this!" Susan walks back and forth and keeps mumbling the same sentences" It's surprising that he started taking her side on the next day of his wedding. I didn't expect that from my son." Applying the concealer underneath her eyes, she speaks." What are you going to do? Mom. If Brother accepts her, our reputation will be ruined. Everyone will laugh at us. She looks awful. Like a hippopotamus!" " We can't do anything. Just stay silent for a while. If you find a chance, play with your own way!"Mrs Fernandez grins mischievously, hinting something to her daughter. In this family, they will get what they want- In silence.In the afternoon...William is checking his emails when he hears a knock on the door. " Please come on in!"He speaks coldly, while his focus is on the screen. " Brother!" Susan walks in with two cups of coffee and places the tray on the table." What happened?" He questions..." N
" Hello, Aunt! It's been a while!"A wide smile brightens Mrs Fernandez's face when a girl, blessed with a beautiful figure, a charming smile hugs her. The red-haired girl's hair cascaded down her waist, giving away a soft scent." My sweetheart! It's been a while! You have changed a lot. Look how skinny you become!" she exclaims..." Am I? What can I say? I always spent weeks here with you. But after you stopped talking to Mother, I didn't have any chance to eat your food. Now I decided to return. Hum!" " You did the right thing. My Beautiful Girl. Come on in. I will inform your mother about your arrival!" Mrs Fernandez smiles, walking inside the living room." So calm here. Where is Susan? Aunt. And... William?"She rubs her nape with a red face." Don't mention. I am so worried about my son's life. His fiancée died and he had to marry her twin sister. I don't like her at all. Don't know what to do, Serena. I need your help. You are close to him. You can heal him. I trust you!" Mrs
" Ma'am! It's been three days, Young Mistress hasn't come downstairs. Is it okay for her to stay without any meal?" A maidservant speaks politely while placing the tray of coffee and evening snacks. Juliette's room is still locked and nobody went upstairs to send her food. So it's concerning about her situation. However,. the people in the house totally ignored the fact. " Don't worry about her. I am sure William knows what he is doing. Aunt! The dress I bought for you, is here. Look and tell me how it is!"Serena shuns the servant and puts a shopping bag before Mrs Fernandez who smiles widely. " Oh! My! It's so nice of you, My Love! Let me try on Right now!"Again the conversation about Juliette has been ignored since Serena came. Every time anyone mentions Juliette, Serena takes everyone's attention and doesn't let anyone ever think about a human who has been locked inside the room with no food and water. The servants wanted to supply food secretly but they had no keys or way t
William's POV...Whatever I did and whatever is going to happen with her, I don't regret any of them. Because she deserves it. She deserves the worst punishment of everything. After all, as long as she will take a breath, she will remind me that because of her, I am unable to hold and love my love. However, a strong sense of regret washes over my heart when I find her senseless body on the bed. She is all white. It scares me. I am not willing to see another dead body. So without wasting another second, I lift her. I thought I would have to struggle to lift her. However when I notice her after removing the blanket. I am shocked.She lost a significant Weight. Is it possible to lose weight within three days like this?But I don't care about it at all. All I want is to see her alive so that she regrets every day until I stop breathing. She must stay alive to be punished by me. By 12, I arrived at the hospital. It's a lie if I say I don't feel anything. It's a kind of trauma to hold a
