What a fallacy!'If they could only keep one of us, why couldn’t they keep me instead of Heather? Is it because she's stronger than me? I don't want to die! I want a chance to live as well!'"What are you so proud of? Do you still think you're the same Heather Riggs as before? Do you think you can still control me like you used to back then? Right now, you’re nothing but a vegetable. What can you do now, huh?!" Hannah suddenly leaned down and snarled. Heather, who was not paying much attention, heard what Hannah said and suddenly thought of something. In an instant, Heather's eyes shot open, and she turned to look at Heather. "What have you done to me?!" This startled Hannah, but she soon collected herself. She laughed triumphantly and exclaimed, "Guess! Guess what I did to you! If you manage to get it right, I might give you a prize!""You!" Heather's brain began to turn in the face of her sister's smirking face and crazy eyes. Her physical fitness had declined sharply recent
Everything happened so suddenly that Heather did not have the strength to resist—she could not, even if she wanted to.After patting her own face with Heather's hand a few times, Hannah stopped and spat, "My dear sister, this was how you'd hit me in the past. Of course, you'd never hit my face. After all, you still need to use it to help you with things. Now, I'm not scared of you anymore! I don't have to be you anymore! I want to be myself!""Be yourself?" Heather sneered. "Who do you think you are? What do you even have? Even our parents don't acknowledge you. To them, Heather Riggs is the only daughter in the Riggs family. No one in this world would know who Hannah Riggs is.“You want to be yourself? Wake up, Hannah. You died a long time ago. The Riggs family only has one daughter, and that is me, Heather Riggs!"Heather's words were supposed to come off strong, but she could hardly make a sound with her frail body. Every sentence she said sounded weak. Even so, it made Heather
It seemed like something inside Hannah had snapped as she spoke, and she continuously slapped Heather's face until Heather was dazed with swollen cheeks and could no longer speak properly.However, Hannah did not stop until she was tired. Her palms were red and swollen when she finally looked down at her hands. Hannah felt refreshed as she had never hit anyone like this before, let alone the sister she feared most.An inexplicable feeling of excitement bubbled in Heather as she threw her head back and laughed. "I did it! I really did it! From now on, I am Hannah Riggs. I am no longer Heather Riggs’s shadow!""Stop…dreaming!" Heather squeezed out two words through gritted teeth. Although it was hard for her to speak, the burning rage in her remained. "You will always be that loser who should have died long ago!""No! That person is you! That d*mned person is you! It's you!" What Heather said struck a nerve, sending Hannah into a flying fury. She pounced onto Heather and grabbed onto
After Heather got carried away, Hannah remained in the vast room alone. She slowly opened her arms and leaned back, twirling her fingers on the couch. She closed her eyes, taking deep breaths each time, taking in everything here.Her room had always been dark and narrow, without any hint of sunlight. Heather's room was the opposite.When Hannah was a child, she would always secretly peek into Heather's spacious and beautiful room. Heather's bed alone was as big as Hannah's room, and her closet was full of gorgeous clothes. Heather had a desk, a dresser, a sofa, and so on.It was everything Hannah's room lacked. Most importantly, there were big windows with the warm sunlight shining in. Heather even had a balcony where she could bask in the sun.All this while, Hannah could only look from afar and envied Heather’s room in secret. She had never dared to imagine she would have anything like that.…Heather asked if this was all because of that man. It was, yet it wasn't.Although R
"What do you think?" Hannah let out a sigh and asked angrily.After blinking a few times, Ralph suddenly laughed. "You're Annie! You're my Annie! You're my Annie, who never curses or beats anyone! Oh, my beloved Annie! Hehehe…"His smirking face was flushed from the alcohol, and his eyes were lost. Even his smile looked goofy.However, Hannah was overjoyed. He recognized her, even when he was so drunk. He knew that it was her and not Heather. He was the only person who knew and cared about her. "Enough with that silly smile!" Hannah held his face with both hands and looked into his eyes before asking earnestly, "Let me ask you, do you like Heather Riggs or Hannah Riggs?"She had always wanted to know if, deep down, he genuinely liked her or not. If he liked her, was it because she looked like Heather, or was it for Hannah herself? This was important to her!The intoxicated Ralph felt a little dizzy after being held that way by Hannah. He blinked and thought for a moment before s
He looked down at her, and his breath reeked of alcohol. However, Hannah did not find it unpleasant at all. Instead, she felt a little special.Ralph was still drunk as he stared at her face with blurry eyes. Then he softly muttered, "Annie, don't go. Don't leave me. You're the only one I have. You…"He lowered his head and planted a firm kiss on her lips. Hannah did not resist as she closed her eyes obediently, wrapping her hands around his neck and welcoming the kiss.With the alcohol in his system, he kissed her roughly yet tenderly. One moment, he was like a storm trying to swallow her, and the next, he was gentle for fear of hurting her.Hannah had never experienced anything like it before. Ralph had always been her first for everything, from the first time she held a man's hand to her first kiss. Now… She could vaguely guess what would happen next, but she did not want to stop. Even more so, she looked forward to it.The temperature in the room rose quickly, and the empty
As their boss had ordered, they should be courteous first before using force. If Ralph were willing to go with them without much trouble, everything would go smoothly. However, they would not need to be polite if he resisted. They were given orders to shove their way in and drag him away. These words successfully woke Ralph up. The memories of what happened came rushing in. He remembered the fire he set, the raging flames, and his mother's words. How did they find him so quickly? Were they going to drag him back as a convict?The colors of his face immediately drained, but Hannah had already opened the door before he could decide what to do. The man outside stopped ringing the doorbell and looked at her. With a men's shirt on, Hannah stood there calmly. Her two long, slender legs were exposed. "What do you guys want?" Hannah held the door frame with one hand and pulled the door open a crack with the other. She had no intention of fully opening the door.The man outside the do
Hannah leaned very close to Ralph, with one hand on the door and the other on his shoulders, looking at him affectionately. "What are you afraid of?""I-I'm not afraid!" He replied with trembling lips. He was terrified but could not let it show in front of the woman he liked.However, Hannah smiled and said, "It's okay to be scared. Nothing is embarrassing about that. With me here, you don't have to be afraid."Ralph noticed her exaggerated tone and nonchalant gaze. He thought she seemed different from before and not the same gentle and docile Hannah he once knew. Ralph was a little confused as he stared at her, frowning. "Are you genuinely Annie or…"'Or are you Heather pretending to be Annie?' Why were the two so alike?’Hannah's face immediately dropped when she heard what he said. "What did you say?! Repeat it!""No, no, no. I-It's nothing! I'm just spouting nonsense!" Startled, Ralph quickly took back what he said and waved around as he struggled to explain himself. For a mo
