Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband (Lily and Ryan) novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4
Lily

The door creaked open suddenly, and my heart sank as two shadows emerged. The room was dim until one of them flicked the switch, flooding the space with light. Standing before me were two figures I recognized all too well. I panicked, stepped back, and landed on my butt again. Ryan rushed down happily with a bride behind him.

“Oh look! The useless, nasty slut is awake.” Hearing those words from Ryan was terrifying. He had disguised his disgust for me so well that it left me in shock.

“Hmm! She’s all messed up, but strange, she didn’t die,” Rose rolled her eyes.

“Don’t—don’t come any closer,” I pointed at them, shaking in fear. My begging didn’t stop Ryan, and he lunged at me to grab my arm and pull me up on my feet to face my sister.

His grasp around my arm was so painful.

“Um, we don’t really need you. See! My character of ‘Perfect Goddess’ doesn’t need the costume anymore. We’re continuing with season 2, where I will be fighting less and having more of a romantic storyline, and they are revealing my face, so—no more masked, musty, crusty Lily needed. As for Riley, come on, she got your diary. The diary that you’ve been writing songs in? Huh! She’s good for at least ten years,” the more she spoke and counted out the reasons why they didn’t need me, the more I began to believe I was never getting out of here.

“Did you not wonder how parents could do something like that to their children?” She squeezed her eyes until they were little, cocking her face and reading my expressions.

“That’s because you were never our sister, you dumb, stupid bitch,” she finished, slapping my face, but her husband didn’t let me fall.

“I’m not?” I gasped, my hand over my cheek.

“Of course not. I’m the eldest one, but we had to keep you with us for some good fortune. You see, Dad had stolen you—from a wealthy couple. They were at the top of the game, and Dad needed them to lose something to lose their sense for a while,” she continued to shock me with how brutally they had planned all of this.

Their game plan started when I was born.

“And now—your rich parents are looking for you. Now—we cannot let them find you, can we?” she clicked her tongue, pouting.
