Chapter 4

10 years ago...Y/N's POV.

I was walking to the garden, holding a book big brother promised to read with me.

As I get closer to the garden I saw big brother, making me smile, not noticing the expression on his face.

I ran towards him with a big smile.

"Big brother!" I exclaimed as soon as I looked up to him, immediately freezing up when I saw his mad expression.

"Big brother..? What's wrong—"

Suddenly he pushed me away, harshly.

"You..!! Shut up! I'm not your brother and will never be!" He shouted angrily, taking the book from my hands.

"You...try and replace my sister...you filthy bastard!" He exclaimed, his mad expression making me shudder in fear.

"Br—w-what do you mean..?" I was confused at the time, wondering why my sweet brother suddenly turned on me.

"Don't you dare call me brother you—" He started tearing up the book we always read together.

"You'll never be able to replace her you hear me? You're nothing but a filthy bug." He said as he threw the ripped up book on my feet.

"Never approach me again, you disgust me" He huffed out as he walks away, leaving me confused.

I stayed on the ground, confused on what just happened, I tried running after him but when he pushed me away I sprained my ankle.

I was confused, sad, scared...and most importantly lonely...the only person who treated me good was angry at me for a reason I didn't even know, did I do something wrong?

I cried and cried...soon the sun was about to set, I limped back to my room, holding the ripped up pieces of the book, the maids whispering to each other, not even bothering to help me.

Soon I got back to my room, collapsing on the floor, the whole night passed and the head butler found me on the floor in the morning, my ankle was swelling badly causing me to get a fever.

Both of the brothers started bullying me that day, trying to chase me out, the maids...even the butlers were turning a blind eye to what was happening...not that I blame them, after all I'm just a fake...a mere substitute until they find their lady back.

I gasped for air as I wake up, immediately sitting up, I dreamt of it again...

I sighed softly, wiping away the tears forming on my eyes. "Bastards..." I thought to myself, I can't believe that I tried to justify their actions back then...

I laid back in bed, feeling my injury throb, my head throbbing further after I realize that my debutante was in 6 months...the day the true lady comes back.

I sat up again in frustration and glanced at one of my drawers where my pieces of jewelry are. "That should be enough to buy a common house away from here..." I thought to myself.

6 months...that all the time I have left before the novel starts...I have to get out of here as soon as possible.
