“Elder Sister, please, I beg you… Let me go. What you’re doing is wrong. Please, just listen to me!” Rose pleadeil desperately, her voice trembling with fear. She knew all too well the extent of her elder sister’s madness–the terrifying depths of Stella’s cruelty. 

Lily, or rather Stella in this moment, was not someone to reason with. Her wild, untamed persona had surfaced, and Rose knew that trying to appeal to her rationality was furile. Memories of her sister’s cold and ruthless actions played in her mind, and now, with Stella holding a gun and completely consumed by rage, Rose’s terror only deepened. 

“Let you go?” 

you go?” Lily repeated, her tone laced with disdain. A bitter sneer twisted her lips. “Why on earth would I do that? As your elder sister, isn’t it my duty to punish you for your crimes? Tell me, Hannah, do you even realize the magnitude of what you’ve done?” 

Lily’s piercing glare locked onto Rose, her voice rising with each accusation. “Crime number one falling in love with Lucas. Crime number two: stealing the man who was supposed to be mine. Crime number three: running away with my Lucas. And the worst of all, the one I can never forgive you for…” Her voice cracked with fury. “You secretly married him. You married Lucas!” 

Rose’s heart pounded violently in her chest as she tried to muster some courage. “E–Elder Sister, please calm down,” she stammered, forcing her trembling hands to subtly work at loosening the ropes around her wrists. “Let’s go home. We can talk about this. We’ll work it out together.” 

“Work it out?” Lily spat, her lips curling into a bitter smile. “You think this is something we can talk about? Don’t you get it, Hannah? Lucas was mine. He has always been mine. And yet, you–my own sister- betrayed me!” Her voice faltered slightly, and her eyes glistened with unshed tears. “I loved you, Hannah. After our parents died, you were the only family I had left. I adored you. I gave you everything. So why? Why would you betray me like this?” 

Rose, overwhelmed with fear and guilt, could only shake her head as tears streamed down her face. Her voice caught in her throat, rendering her silent. 

“ANSWER ME!” Lily suddenly screamed, her voice filled with anguish. “DID I EVER DO ANYTHING TO 

HURT YOU? DID I EVER WRONG YOU?” 

“N–no, Elder Sister,” Rose finally managed to choke out, her words barely audible between her sobs. 

“Then why?!” Lily cried, her voice breaking. “Why did you take away the only person I ever loved? There are countless men in this world, Hannah. Why did you have to take him?!” 

“Elder Sister, I-” 

“SHUT UP!” Lily interrupted, her fury flaring once again. “I already know what you’re going to say. You’ll tell me that I’m obsessed. That what I feel for Lucas isn’t love but something twisted. But let me make this clear–it’s not an obsession. It’s love. Real love. Lucas belongs to me!” 

in’t care 

She paced back and forth, clutching the gun tightly as her emotions spilled over. “You’ll tell m hat Lucas only loves you, that you both share some special connection, and that I should move on. But about any of that! Your words mean nothing to me.” 

Stopping suddenly, Lily chuckled darkly. “We’re sisters, Hannah. Connected by blood and bond. I already know what’s in your heart, what you want to say. Am I wrong?” 

Rose said nothing, her tears betraying her silence.

Lily smirked. “Thought so. So let’s not waste any more time with this pointless conversation. I don’t want to understand your excuses, and I certainly won’t listen to your pleas. Let’s cut straight to the chase.” 

Her tone turned eerily calm as she added, “I’m going to ask you one question. Just one. And don’t worry, it’s not a difficult one. The answer is simple. All you have to say is yes or no. Do you understand?” 

Rose remained silent, too terrified to utter a word. The tension in the air thickened as her elder sister’s patience began to fray. Lily’s eyebrows twitched with annoyance before she snapped, her voice sharp and thunderous. “Did you hear me? Do you understand?” She pointed the gun directly at Rose’s forehead, her grip steady and menacing, 

Startled by the sudden shout and the cold metal pressed against her skin. Rose nodded frantically, her face pale with fear. 

A mocking laugh escaped Lily’s lips as she watched her sister’s trembling form. “Good girl,” she sneered, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Now, listen very carefully, my dear little sister. I’ll only ask this once, are you going to leave Lucas?” 

The question hung in the air like a storm cloud, heavy and suffocating. 

Rose couldn’t bring herself to answer. Her lips quivered, but no sound came out. Her silence only seemed to amuse Lily further. 

Take your time, Hannah, Lily said, her tone mockingly patient. Think it through carefully. Your answer will decide everything–whether you live or whether you… well, let’s just say your fate depends on it.” 

Tears streamed down Rose’s face, and her entire body trembled uncontrollably. Her soft sobs broke through the stillness, but no one was around to help. There was no escape, no salvation from her sister’s chilling grip. 

Watching her sister’s growing despair, Lily stepped closer. Her expression softened into something disturbingly tender as she gently wiped the tears from Rose’s face. “Hannah,” she said softly, almost like a caring older sister, “why are you crying? What’s wrong?” 

The moment of false affection was shattered as the cold barrel of the gun brushed against Rose’s cheek. The sensation sent a jolt of terror through her body. She gasped, her sobs turning into frantic cries. “Please don’t kill me! I don’t want to die! Please, Elder Sister, don’t kill me!” 

Lily tilted her head, feigning surprise. “Kill you?” she asked sweetly, twirling the gun in her hand as though it were a harmless toy. “Who would dare harm my precious little sister? Tell me, Hannah. Who has the audacity to threaten you?” 

Then, as though struck by a sudden epiphany, she burst into laughter–a manic, bone–chilling sound that echoed off the cliffs. “Oh, that’s right! It’s me. Haha! I’m the one! The person you need saving from is your very own sister. Isn’t that ironic, Hannah? The one who loves you most is also the one who will decide your fate. Isn’t it funny?” 

Her laughter grew louder, more unhinged, as she took another step closer. “You see, Hannah, I you from anyone in this world. No one can harm you–except me. Her voice dropped to a whi gaze locking onto Rose’s terrified eyes. “But who will save you from me?”
