The Jealousy That Silenced Me Chapter 1
When Hector Chatwin carried Emma Jent to the car, I was already dead.And he believed every lie she'd fed him. He wouldn't even pick up my calls.Back in that basement, Emma flicked a lighter and threw it on me, but I was too flabby to move."Sienna Jent, you think you can compete with me?" Her sneer cut through the dark. "I'm prettier. I've got the background. You're not even in my league. So why should you get a man like him?" Her voice dripped with venom. "If I hadn't turned him down, you think he'd even look at you?"She was right. Years ago, she'd brushed him off—he was broke, struggling. So our family offered me up instead to marry him.Now she wanted him back, even if it meant killing me.She'd made sure no one would find me down here and sealed every exit. Then, in order to complete her performance, she burned her own arm.And Hector? He was out of his mind with worry."Emma, don't be afraid. I'm here with you, like always." He glared into the shadows, his face twisted

How could I ever hate Emma?I just didn't get it. Why, when we were both our mother's daughters, was I the one she didn't love?I didn't understand until I turned eighteen. She'd wanted a son, and my birth had been her last try. But when I came out a girl, her disappointment ran so deep, she let it turn to resentment.From then on, my life was nothing but neglect and hurt. All because I wasn't the child she wanted. In her eyes, I'd ruined everything.Emma got everything. I wore her hand-me-downs, used her leftovers. My allowance was half of hers, even in school.I thought for years I just wasn't good enough. Then I came in first on a major exam.That night, she burned my award certificate. "Are you trying to make Emma feel bad? Flaunting your grades when she didn't do well? How could I have raised such a selfish child?"Emma had bombed that test, yet I was the one being punished.It wasn't that I wasn't good enough—I'd never been the daughter my mother wanted.And Emma? She ju

I'd tried to believe Hector's excuses. But Emma's little provocations finally broke me.She posted a hotel check-in on social media. In the photo, they looked close—too close. I could see the mole on his shoulder. It was Hector. My husband."That night, I had too much to drink with a client," he shrugged. "Emma just helped me to my room. She's your sister—why do you treat her like an enemy? We're family. Why are you so cold and heartless?"After that, he only got closer to her, choosing her over me every time.Even on my birthday, he glanced at his phone and left me alone.Maybe I should've ignored it. But I couldn't.When I finally confronted him, I'd rehearsed a dozen explanations. But the truth was uglier than I'd expected."Sienna, don't you care that Emma's sick? She's family. How can you be so cold and selfish? There's nothing going on with us, so why all the drama?"Emma played the perfect victim, stepping in with a sigh. "Please, don't fight... It's my fault. Hector, yo

Hector sighed. "Emma, you're just... too forgiving. She ruined your leg, almost burned you alive, and yet you still defend her."Emma melted into his arms, her face soft and sympathetic. "I was always the better sister," she murmured, voice thick with emotion. "She was jealous, but I never thought she'd hate me this much."Her voice quivered, and Hector's eyes darkened as he deepened his grip on her."I won't let her hurt you again. She crippled you, Emma—I can't forgive her for that. I'll divorce her. I'll protect you, no matter what."As I heard his vow, a hollow ache filled my chest.Turns out, even souls feel pain when there's regret.No one had even bothered to question the fire Emma set. I was labeled a fugitive, accused of arson and hurting my "poor, innocent" sister.Hector didn't ask the police to look for me. He didn't even return to our abandoned house, where weeds grew wild, hiding secrets.My cold, lifeless body would stay hidden forever.After Emma healed, Hector

For a second, I wondered if I'd somehow managed to send that message to Hector.Then I remembered—I'd scheduled it seven years ago, set to send on our anniversary. Never thought it would reach him under these circumstances.His reaction? Pure rage.When I didn't respond, he fired off a furious voicemail: "Sienna, where the hell are you hiding? Dragging this divorce out just makes me hate you more!"He thought my message was some desperate attempt to keep him tied to me, convinced I was still out there, hiding and clinging on.If I'd known back then that Hector would never really be mine, I never would've married him.What Emma threw away, I could never hold. And what she wanted to reclaim, I had no chance of keeping.I'd been trapped in this marriage, sinking deeper every day, believing in a future that wasn't real. I'd stood by him through his worst days, through setbacks and endless nights of rebuilding. I never left, not once.But his promises barely lasted seven years. How

Hector scoffed. "Missing? Please. She's hiding to avoid justice. She nearly got Emma killed in that fire and now she's too scared to face the consequences. But let's be real—she'll come crawling back for money sooner or later. Just watch."Yuna clenched her fists, furious. She couldn't see how far Hector and I had fallen apart. Nothing she said would make him look for me; he was convinced I'd show up eventually, desperate and helpless.Turning to Emma, he promised, "Don't worry, Emma. When Sienna comes back, I'll make her apologize, and then I'll divorce her."He sounded so sure of himself that he didn't notice the slight panic in Emma's eyes. She knew I'd never come back—one day, I'd just be declared missing. And if I stayed gone, Hector would be all hers.Yuna had her doubts, though. She remembered my text the day I went to meet Emma: [Yuna, promises only last in the moment they're made. I'm done with him. I'm exhausted.]Before I could say more, Emma had coaxed me up to that vi

Emma's body shook slightly as she nestled deeper into Hector's arms, her fragile act stirring a protective tenderness in him."Can we just stop looking for her?" she whispered, sounding scared. "I'm just so afraid..."Was she really terrified I'd come back to hurt her—or more afraid that my death would bring her to justice?Without hesitating, Hector assured her, "Alright, we'll stop looking for her. I won't let her come back and harm you."Emma curled up in his embrace, letting out a cautious sigh of relief. But it had never been Hector who wanted to find me in the first place.Knowing he'd always side with Emma, Yuna gave up hope of any help from him. Now, she only waited for confirmation of my phone's location—where I had last been. The next day, the station called her with an update.Her fingers turned white as she gripped the phone, shock washing over her as she absorbed the news. It was chilling.Two months had passed, and yet, my phone's location still showed as Hector's

"Sienna's dead? Yeah, right." Hector scoffed, barely giving it a thought before turning back to Emma's birthday celebration."Good riddance. I don't ever want to see her again," he muttered, hanging up.The hatred in his voice was hard, like he believed I'd gotten exactly what I deserved. Then his gaze softened, shifting back to Emma, unbothered—until the police called again.Hector didn't trust Yuna, but he couldn't ignore the police. Their words made his eyes narrow. "Officer, you're saying Sienna's been dead for three months? That's impossible. I got a text from her two months ago. What, am I supposed to believe it was a ghost?"Watching from above, I almost wished I could message him, just to mess with his head."She was a menace," Hector sneered. "Dead or alive, the world's better off without her."The officer hesitated, but Hector hung up, annoyance bubbling over as he stepped onto the balcony for a smoke."What a joke. How long is she planning to haunt me?" he muttered, s

The Jealousy That Silenced Me Chapter 10
So my mother came for Emma after all. To her, I'd always been expendable; even my death couldn't bring her a flicker of grief. I'd spent years wondering why she never loved me, and even longer accepting I didn't need her love.Every ounce of her concern had always been for Emma. Even now, her only worry was how Emma might suffer from my death.Hector's eyes darkened as he looked at her. "Get out. Sienna is dead, and you don't feel a damn thing, do you?"Her face froze; she was shocked into silence.I wanted to say to Hector, 'Hector, you're only now realizing I had no family to turn to? That I never truly had a home? I once thought you'd be my shelter, but in the end, you were the one who left me exposed. Now, any remorse you feel is just a hollow gesture.'My mother tried to plead with him again, but he shoved her aside and walked out, regaining a strange, fleeting calm.When Emma saw him, she thought her salvation had arrived. "Hector! You came to see me. I'm so scared—get me o

Hector staggered forward, finally dropping to his knees beside my body. His hands shook as he lifted the white cloth, revealing my face. He looked, but only for a second, quickly covering it again."No... it's not her... it can't be her..." His pupils shrank as he tried to convince himself, voice tight with disbelief."Who is this? Sienna didn't look like this... this isn't her!" He went pale, shaking his head, clinging to denial. "She texted me two months ago, promised she'd be with me forever! This... this can't be her!"A strangled cry escaped him, and he slammed his fist into the wall, splitting his knuckles. Blood mingled with the tears that dripped down his face—tears he hadn't even noticed.Hector was crying.From above, I watched, torn between feeling pity and the sting of irony. Months ago, he'd sworn I deserved to die, and now, here he was, shattered by my death."This isn't real... it can't be... Sienna, this joke isn't funny..." He gripped the edge of the stretcher, v
