Lisa

[Throwback; 1 hour before]

I'm seated at the leather couch where a huge piece of fabric in front of me keeps flashing pictures, images I never knew existed. It's all about me.

The projector has been flashing documents and pictures including my own identity and my Family's history.

" I can't believe this!" I shouted as I stood up and face the old man.

"You must. It's the truth. All of these? You? It's all fake. Lisa, You've been living in a lie!" He shouted back, I furrowed my brows, I held the tears that's threatening to fall.

"The-they didn't...they can't" I broke down and sob. The old man came to me and rubbed my back.

"It's the truth Lisa, you must accept it and fight for your own place, for your own glory..." he stated and stood up, i glance at him as I am completely confused about what he's saying.

"All that were shown are true, You're a Manoban, but you're no Heiress, You're sister Jisoo Kim- Manoban is the firstborn of the Manoban clan..." He pauses a little.

"Lisa, to be her decoy, Only. Is your mission. The real target was your Sister...." he continued, I know that's he's repeating everything to me, for 5th time now and I still cannot believe it.

Yes, He is right. I'm born to be a decoy, My sister is the real heir of the Manoban Industry. He said, My mother; Jessica Sangreal isn't my real mother. I'm a Manoban, but in the fact that my father is forced to have a second child with someone. I'm nit her biological daughter..

What's worse is that they need a second child to drift any possible harm to their real daughter which is Jisoo. She's the real Manoban Heir. I'm the second child. A decoy. The bait....

"He paid someone else to carry you as Jessica can't bear another child. He need another young Manoban to made sure the other is safe. It's selfish, I tried to convince him that day but he didn't listen. That's why Jessica loathes you. That's why Jisoo hated you..."

My mind can't process any of these information right now. I'm still in shock.

"..Jisoo supposed to have all of the things you have right now. She is the real one, You are the bait incase someone else finds out that you are the heir. Whenever you're in trouble, They still have the real Heir to continue their legacy...their company..."He shook his head as he looked at me.

I can't feel anything. Maybe I became numb. I don't know how to feel anymore. Angry? Sad? Disappointed? Betrayed? Nothing.

Is that's why Jisoo suddenly hated me? Is that why Mom never took care of me? Because in the first place, I was the one who came in the picture. I took all of her rights in order to protect her. How selfish can I be? She has the right to hate me. I took everything that was supposed to be hers.

I don't have the right to be hurt. I'll be thankful because they let me live, Because she and Jisoo let me live in this world.

Maybe, Jisoo suddenly became competitive against me knowing I'll take her position too. Her own reputation. She's smarter than me, stronger than me and of course, everybody loves her. That's why I looked up to her when we were young.

I'm being selfish for having much courage to hate them back. Having those grudges, but the fact is...I should be the one who'd be sorry.

I received all rights of a Manoban instead of Jisoo, it must be so unfair for her that I get what I want in a matter of seconds while she don't. She's been hiding her identity for years too but she never had that feeling that she's really the heir. I'm hiding too but for the sake of my own good. Since then, I was trained as an Heir. I was trained to be the perfect Manoban. All attention of the clan are all on me. Yes, I can't outshine her. In my mother and grandfather's eyes.
