Next Day...
Life goes on as it should be. Everyone in my house ignored my existence as if I never existed in their life. After losing my dream, my thoughts for my sister's Fiancé turns sore. But I couldn't hate him." Young Miss went abroad to shop. I heard her Fiancé will join her once his business is done!"I heard the servants talking themselves in the garden. Everyone is busy preparing for the wedding. They're discussing my sister's choice to keep the decoration theme White and Pink.Meanwhile, my life is filled with darkness. The emptiness doesn't leave me. I should just leave. It would be better for me.As I thought, I packed my bags to leave. Staying alone for a while will help me to think rationally.Anyway, as I walk downstairs with my luggage, the vibration of my phone in my purse gets my attention. To be honest, I don't have any wish to talk to anyone. Not even with my bestie. I would rather give a little bit of time to myself to recover.However, did I ever know that ignoring the call would bring the worst nightmares of my life?Since I need to take the plane to go to another state where I have my apartment, I don't have any reason to take out my phone and use it. So, all the time, I try to sleep as I couldn't able to get some last night.Six hours later...I slept on the plane and in the cab I hired from the Airport. After reaching my apartment with a heavy heart and exhausted body. I decided to take another long nap. Since I take antibiotics. Sleeping is a must-have for me.But...My sleep gets interrupted by another call. And this time, I forced myself to receive the call. However, when I look at the phone screen, my eyes widen with a loud thump in my chest. It's no one but my mother. She was supposed to be with my sister. Why would she call me right now?" Yes!" Unwilling, I respond, not expecting to listen to something heartbreaking." Juliette! Did Odette call you? Didn't she? She is missing. I can't find her!" My Mom's voice cracks as she sobs." What do you mean by missing? She was with you, Mother" Anxious, I stand up, and the anger on them fades away into thin air." I don't know. She was with me. But a second later, she was nowhere to be found. I don't know. What to do? She said she would call you. Did she call you?"" No. I -"I realize that there are lots of missed calls on my phone that I ignored. I immediately take my phone away from my ears and glance at the screen.And...My heart drops with terror. More than twenty Missed calls from my sister's number and ten messages..." Please save Me. Someone kidnapped me. Please save me!"My knees reach the floor. Those messages horrify me once I read them one after one. What shocked me more was that She sent me a location. To my surprise, the location isn't somewhere abroad but in our country."Julie!!! Response! Did she call you? Do you know something?"My tears drop, covering my mouth, I nod, " Yes. She called me in the morning. But I couldn't take it. She is kidnapped, Mom. She is Kidnapped!!"I cry, and guilt leaps into my throat as I sob."What? Did you miss them? How could you do that? What should we do now?" My mother screams," I am sorry. I really didn't know. I am sorry!" I whisper. "She sent me a location, Mom. We can find her."" What?" My mother gasps, " Where is she? Send me the location. I will send it to William! Right now!"I keep listening to my mother's heartbreaking sob, hopelessly. Guilty is consuming me. Can't stop blaming myself for ignoring those calls. I don't know how she is now. I don't know what she is doing right now. I hope she is fine. My sister should be fine.After sending the location to my Mom, I tried to access the link again. I need to call the local police there to take action as soon as possible so that we can save her. However this time, it is rejected. I can't access the link anymore.Anxiously, I wait for my mother's next call. If she can inform something further. The night has fallen upon the world, I can't get out of the city like this. Nonetheless, the fear doesn't leave me. No matter what, I love my family despite everything.We grew up together. I can't see my sister being in danger.After waiting for two hours, and calling my mother lots of times, I didn't get a single piece of information. My mother didn't call me once after that. As the night falls deeper, my eyes, exhausted, shut themselves.However, I was startled awake when the phone chirped on the table, finding the call was from no one but my sister." Odette! Where are you? Are you okay? Why didn't you take the calls and -?"" So you are Juliette!"My eyes widen finding the voice oddly familiar but doesn't belong to Odette." Mr. Fernandez?! Did you find Odette? Where is she? How is she?" I asked. My heart is exploding." Why didn't you receive the phone calls?" His cold voice echoes my eardrum." I..."" Did you hate her that much that you didn't care to receive her single phone call? Why did you do it? Why did you kill my love of life?"At this moment, his voice cracks in anger, pain and suffocation. But what strikes more right in my heart is...He said I killed my sister..." Wh-What are you talking about?" My body shrinks into the deepest despair. " Where is Odette? Mr. Fernandez! Don't Joke. I know I ignored her calls but, It was not intentional. I -"" Shut the fuck up! Don't make a noise. Don't call her name with this fucking mouth." He roars..." Because of you, she is dead. She called you at the last moment. Why did she call you, not me? She was hurt by you. Still, she trusted you more than me and begged you to save her. But... I will never forgive you. I will destroy your life!"Time seems to have stopped. The heart skips a beat. I don't know how to feel. Odette is no more! My sister is no more. Is it possible? No way.She can't die..." I... I think this is not right. She... She is fine. Please search for her. Please... I am sorry. I... I didn't know... I am sorry!"" I will never forgive you. Don't come to her funeral. Don't dare to appear with that face in front of us. You aren't allowed."His words throw me off. Am I really the reason for her death?I stand before my family, like a guilty who is waiting for the announcement of the sentence. My parents or my grandparents stop talking to me. They didn't even look at me for once. The entire house which was decorated beautifully yesterday, now is agonized over my sister's death. I stand still as my heart is numb. I drove back home last night. Didn't have anything or did talk to anyone. William and His family requested my family to let them hold the funeral. So far, I got to learn, that Odette was kidnapped by some stalker who had been stalking her for two years. She did complain about it to the police but the man wasn't found. So they gave up. Last night when I sent the location to my mother, William immediately sent his people to search for her and found her headless, SA'ed body. William immediately recognized her by her chest where she had a butterfly tattoo. The phone and purse were next to her.And...Her last countess unsent messages to me, including how much she is sorry for
" 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 sa
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
