Her eyes widened in shock, clenching her hand as she walked backwards, leaving the guy she loves the most with her long lost sister.
Prologue:
She was kidnapped right after she was born.
"I told you! THIS IS NOT MY CIERRA! Can't you see? You stupid people! Cierra was the first one I carried inside the delivery room! I know her face! She has a birthmark on the left side of her neck!"
But it seemed like the kidnapper took the wrong baby.
"So that bitch kidnapped the wrong baby? I knew it! Sooner or later, she was bound to make a huge mistake."
And it appeared to be an inside job.
"He's the one who let the nurse leave. When I asked her to open the bag, he told me not to cause trouble for the nurses who were working hard."
Yet, despite everything, a mysterious old man seemed to enjoy the situation.
"With that boy's reaction, there's no way he'll ever soar. But you... you're different. You were born to be a dragon, meant to fly higher than the sky. A snake that cannot transform is not worthy of you. When you grow up... find someone who will treat you as a human being, despite all the scars you've shed."
And sometimes, a mother will push her son to look forward to his future.
"You know what, son? If the gods allow it... you can become her husband."
But the future never unfolds the way we expect it to.
"I want revenge... against the person I ended up falling in love with. Please... make me as cold-hearted as the rest of you."
Blood was spilled.
"It's fine... It's not four yet. I'm still human... They will still love me..."
A body was discarded.
"I hope no one comes looking for you anymore… but based on what happened earlier, it seems like your value is nothing compared to mine."
She became lost in confusion.
"Please... I don't want to kill anymore. When will my family save me? Am I really abandoned?"
She was locked away.
"For now, you don't have to work. Stay quiet in your room, or else I'll send you to the mafia."
She was starved.
"Damn you! She's going to be trapped forever! It's your fucking fault! Don't you dare give her food... You're my brother, which means your sympathy belongs to me. Don't you dare pity someone else!"
Yet, despite everything, certain creatures took an interest in her.
"Hmm... Forget about Cierra's victims. Their destination is Hell. But don't forget to recommend Cierra to the Live Reapers Association later."
Can she survive?
"Hey, become a reaper, and your soul will be safe from everything you've done."
Can she escape?
"Damn! How did that detective find this place? The plan is ruined! It's all that dumbass's fault!"
Or will she end up destroyed, just like the enemy's plans that were shattered because of her?
"If you cannot give yourself to me after taking everything from me, then I will take everything from you by force."
Will he stay silent?
"She's been with you since you were a kid? So what? Go find your own Cierra, because Cierra is mine."
How will she respond?
"I'm Cierra. My sister calls me a star. My mother calls me a miracle. My dad calls me a bitch. My grandfather calls me a dragon. I'm neither good nor bad. Welcome to my life."
