My brother calls me his princess and transfers money to me as allowance; his wife-to-be misunderstands and thinks I'm his secret lover. She crashes my new apartment, which I've lovingly decorated, with a group of friends and family. "I can't believe you're someone's secret lover when you're so young! I'll teach you a lesson on your parents' behalf! I'm going to spread your illicit relationship online so your teachers and classmates will all know how shameless you are!" They trash my new apartment and rip my clothes off. Then, they make sure to get my student ID in the scene as they record me getting bullied. My brother rushes over, his eyes red and bloodshot. "Have you guys lost your mind? How dare you bully my sister!"

I paused for a moment. Then, a warm hand pulled me out of the hospital room.On the way home, Claude gently said to me, "Silvia, don't let Julia's guilt-tripping get to you. No matter what happens, none of this is your fault."I nodded, giving him a reassuring smile.Julia claimed that she needed medical supervision for her pregnancy, so she was granted bail for treatment. However, her relatives remained in custody.A few days later, the police station called and said that Julia's cousin, Orla, wanted to speak to my brother and me."Mr. Stark, Ms. Felton, I'd like to make a deal with you." In just a few days, Orla had become noticeably thinner."What can you offer to strike a deal with us?" Claude didn't even bother to look up at her."I have information that could solve one of your biggest problems. All I ask is that you drop the charges against me for destroying the villa," she said, her voice filled with urgency.Claude stayed silent, and so did I."Let's hear it. If what y

I trusted Claude.One day, while we were having dinner, his phone rang."What?" Claude frowned, and his expression soured."Get her tested. I want accurate results." After hanging up, he didn't speak for a long time.I had a feeling it was about Julia. "Claude?""It's Julia… She's pregnant," he said coldly.I was stunned. The news that Julia was carrying my brother's child caught us completely off guard.Honestly, I couldn't forgive Julia. She had insulted me, and worst of all, she had destroyed our parents' keepsake. But now, she was carrying my brother's child—the blood and kin of the Stark family, as well as my potential niece or nephew. I could see that Claude felt very conflicted about the situation."Claude, the child is innocent," I said. I was reluctant to accept this, but my reason won out."I don't want this child," Claude said gravely after a long pause. "It'll be impossible to get rid of Julia once we have a child together."For the first time, I saw Claude grit

Julia stood in their midst. Her face was pale, and she was unable to utter a word. When her relatives noticed that she was unresponsive, they grew anxious and began shoving her rudely. The hands that had pushed and pinched me now fell upon Julia. They shoved her from side to side without restraint."Enough! I said I wanted to go after the mistress, alright. But you all came along because you wanted to cozy up to Claude!" Julia retorted loudly in frustration as the blame began to pile up on her.Her voice rose, and she continued, "You're all just scared that you won't get to benefit from Claude once he dumps me for his mistress. It's too late to shift all the blame to me now. If I'm going down, we're all going down together."She turned on her aunts and berated them. "And who suggested humiliating the mistress, putting up banners, stripping her, and parading her around? Wasn't it you lot?"Her words sent the crowd over the edge, and the scene devolved into chaos."What did you say?

"I'm so sorry, Claude. I didn't know she was your sister. I saw you referring to her as 'Princess' and transferring money to her. So, I thought she was your mistress," Julia explained meekly.As she watched her relatives being handcuffed and loaded into police cars, Julia grew desperate. She ignored her scraped and bleeding ankle as she ran over to us."How is that supposed to justify the pain my sister went through? Whatever you have to say, you can tell it to the police," Claude responded dismissively.He turned and walked away, holding me in his arms. Julia tried to follow us, but two police officers grabbed her by the arms. The crowd around us ignored the police's attempts to maintain order and snapped pictures of Julia with their phones.Claude bought me new clothes and took me to the hospital to have my injuries examined. When he saw the bruises and swelling on my body from being kicked, he was livid."It doesn't hurt anymore," I said.Claude pulled me into a hug, his voice

Thankfully, Claude was tall. As his cool, smooth blazer was wrapped around my body snugly, I finally felt a sense of security."How are you, Silvia? Where does it hurt?" he asked.I was angry that he arrived late and didn't want to speak to him. When Julia had forced me to kneel in the room, I'd managed to reach my phone and tap on the emergency contact button—Claude was my only emergency contact."Mr. Stark, I suspect you're claiming that she's your sister to cover up her true identity as your mistress," Orla said, audaciously holding her phone toward us. "This woman's last name is Felton, so she can't possibly be your sister."Claude looked at her as if she were an idiot. He said coolly, "You're Julia's cousin, and your dad runs a small electronics factory."Orla's face fell, and the people behind her quieted down instantly.She glanced at her phone screen and spoke up hesitantly. "A-Are you threatening me? I'll have you know that the public isn't easily fooled. I have millions

"Julia, I'm telling you for the last time. I'm Claude's sister, and what you're holding is our parents' keepsake," I said in a trembling voice.My eyes were reddened with fury as flashbacks of my weak and sick mother holding the trophy lovingly filled my mind."So? Will you get down or not?" Julia looked at me arrogantly.I swallowed hard, suppressing the rage and heartbreak inside. Slowly, I got down on all fours for my mother's sake.Orla immediately turned her phone toward me. "Look, everyone! The mistress is on her knees! If you want to hear her bark like a dog, hit that follow and like button!""W-Woof. Woof." I endured the humiliation, desperate to protect my mother's keepsake.The people around me burst out laughing.A crisp shattering sound suddenly rang out, causing my whole being to jolt like I'd been struck by lightning."Oops, I'm sorry. My hand slipped," Julia said scornfully.The ground was littered with shards of glass, and among them, I could still make out the

I watched in shock as the priceless painting was shredded to pieces. I felt numb all over.When Julia's gaze landed on the eight-million-dollar piano afterward, I shot her a glacial stare. She walked up to the piano, her gaze fixated on its glossy surface. Then, she ran her hand over a row of keys. The melodious sound of the piano echoed through the room.Julia's face contorted with fury as she came over to me. She yanked my hair and kicked me repeatedly."You wretch! This is my favorite piano. Claude said he'd buy it for me, yet here it is in your place!" Julia screamed.I fell to the ground again as her high heels dug into me. The only thing I could do was curl up in defense. I gritted my teeth, wondering what kind of look would appear on Julia's face once she knew she was destroying her new marital home and piano. Then again, she didn't need the house anymore. I vowed not to let her become a part of the Stark family."How do you like the act of the mistress being torn apart b

The live streamer, Orla Brown, waved my student ID around smugly."Take a look, everyone. The mistress is so cunning. Not only does she deny that she's a mistress after being caught, but she's also lying by claiming to be the guy's sister."She held my student ID up to the camera and said, "Her name is Silvia Felton, and she's a sophomore at Avant Design Academy. How can you claim to be Claude Stark's sister when you don't even have the same last name?"I panicked because she was exposing my personal information online by blatantly showing the internet my student ID. I tried to grab it back, but two women held me down.Julia became enraged, feeling that I had tricked her. She slapped me hard twice. I felt the world around me spin as the metallic taste of blood filled my mouth."You vixen! How dare you trick me? I'll tear you apart!" Julia cried out in a shrill voice.As I was pinned down, I couldn't avoid her furious physical blows. "We really are siblings," I said weakly.No

It was the finals that week. I came to my brother's new home with a stack of textbooks, hoping to study hard in a quiet environment for the upcoming exams. I had just flipped open my book for a few minutes when someone knocked on the door rapidly. I assumed that the plants I ordered were being delivered, so I opened the door without a second thought."Look, everyone! This is the face of the mistress Claude has been seeing in secret!" As soon as I opened the door, a phone on a selfie stick was practically shoved in my face by a short woman with heavy makeup. Behind her was a large crowd of people."Who are you? You must have the wrong door," I stated with a frown.Before I could finish, they barged in, pushing me inside along with them. "Hmph. You're the one Claude has been having an affair with, huh? She's not even that pretty!"The group of women shot hostile glares at me, and I felt very apprehensive. A wave of unease washed over me. "Why are you trespassing into private
