The Billionaire Heiress is No Longer Interested

Liliana looked at her ivory bridal gown, admiring the intricate lace that screamed luxury and the shimmering beads that caught the light.

Isadora, her elder sister was doing her makeup while she imagined how she would look while walking down the aisle in her beautiful wedding dress.

Am I not the luckiest woman alive?" She said, asking no one in particular.

Why do you think so, because you are getting married to that brat?" Isadora hissed, as the reason why she hated Vance, Liliana's about-to-be husband, filled her mind.

That vicious snake." She muttered under her breath.

You know, I honestly can't wrap my fingers around why you hate him so much, but it's such a pity that you have to deal with it because he is no longer just your businessmate but also your brother-in-law." Liliana retorted that her sister just spoiled her mood.

Since you have made up your mind, I leave it to you, make sure you don't dare call me unless you are ready to give me nieces and nephews." Isadora said, hoping that her words would soften the anger she sensed in Liliana's voice, she didn't want to ruin her happiest day.

I won't call you." Liliana said, understanding her joke and they both laughed.

You know, I am the happiest right? I don't know why I get the feeling that you deserve more than Vance but if he's the only man you want, then....Go for it. All I want you to know is that I got your back." Isadora said as tears trickled down her face, the reason for her hatred still playing in her mind. She cursed the day it all went wrong.

Yes, her baby sister, whom she had always defended, had grown to the point of marriage; she didn't want to let her emotions get in the way. She used the back of her palm to dry her tears.

Her sniffles betrayed her as her eyes met Liliana's.

I am not crying, I promise." Isadora said and Liliana smiled. She stood up and held her hands trying hard to hold back her own tears.

You know more than anyone how much I love Vance, he has been my crush for years till I finally had the guts to ask him out and......"

What!!!! You asked him out???? I thought you told me that he asked you out; how can you be the one to ask him out? Where is your pride as a woman?"

There is nothing like pride, Isadora. We both love each other, and that's all that matters. Where was your pride when you divorced Louis and he ran away with your child from you." Liliana said, and Isadora slapped her hard across the face, ruining the makeup she had spent over thirty minutes making.

How dare you talk about that?"Isadora fumed as her voice echoed through the whole room, sending shivers through Liliana's veins.

Liliana knew the gravity of her words and how Isadora took them when she saw tears streaming down her face. She felt her chest tighten as she watched the tears streaming down her face.

What have I done?" She muttered under her breath.

I am sorry, Isa." She muttered,d trying to pull her close despite the pain of the slap on her cheeks,k but Isadora backed out.

You ungrateful piece of trash. I have always been there for you despite how Dad was with you concerning this marriage. He was against it yet I went ahead and approved it even forced him to come by telling him that instead of you ending up like me, you should have Vance since the both of you were in love with each other and how do you pay me back by opening up the wounds have struggled to heal in my heart?? I would never forgive you, Liliana, kudos to you; you just lost the whole of your family.``

Liliana's eyes widened as the words came out of Isadora's mouth.

I am sorry, Isa. I never meant anything, I was just angry and that's all. You know how much I love you. Please, don't do this to me, I will do whatever you ask of me except not marrying Vance." She said, forging tears.

You, you will do whatever I ask?? That's absurd." Isadora said, releasing a sarcastic laugh.

You and I know how selfish and self-centered you are, I don't want to have anything to do with you again. The moment I leave here, I am taking Father along with me, and kudos to your married life."

What else do you want me to do?? Leave Vance?? Listen to yourself, for crying out loud, Isa. You said you didn't want me to turn out like you; if I don't marry Vance, I will be worse than you and......"

And what," Isadora cut in, glaring at her as the makeup brush fell off her hands.

What's so wrong with me, Liliana, that you cannot be like me? I am strong and rich, richer than any man alive, so what's wrong with that."

Everything is wrong with that." Liliana replied. " She wanted to ease the tension, but she just couldn't help it when she felt that the words coming out of her sister's mouth were nothing but nonsense, and she could sense some jealousy in them.

You are beautiful, strong, and rich like you said, but let's not forget the most important part, which is that you are intimidating. You are more of a bully and that's why men run away from you."

Liliana saw as fresh tears streamed down Isadora's eyes; she hated being called bully because she wasn't as slim and sexy as Liliana was; she was huge and tall while most people mistook her for a man, which was the main reason why she refused Isadora being her chief bridesmaid.

You!!" Isadora started, forcing herself to hold back her tears.

You are the only one I have ever defended which made everyone think I bullied someone. I was tagged as a bully back then in school because I fought off a bully for you, and now you look at me in the eye, Lilian, and call me a bully?? I would never forgive you, Lil. This is the end of our relationship as siblings."

I have apologized to you, Isadora. I don't know what else to do. I loved and still love Vance that was why I asked him out. I was tired of seeing other girls roaming around him and claiming him as theirs which was why I chose to ask him out. Do you know how hard it was and how hard I tried to keep it away from you because I knew you would never be in support??"

I saw the look on his face when I asked him out. He was surprised but happy to the extent that he gave me my answer that day since we had been dating. I know everything about him l, I like others of the alphabet n and, it and it's normal that we get married. Please be happy for us, Isadora. You are my big sister, remember??"

Who proposed?" Isadora asked with her voice barely above a whisper but stern.

Liliana's words pierced her like a sharp two-edged sword.

She has always had Liliana in mind like no one else existed and now what?? That same Liliana was the same person making her feel like she shouldn't have existed and that her existence had been a burden to her over a man. It was too much for her to bear. She stopped holding back her tears and let them stream down her face but she never took her eyes off Liliana.

I asked you a question, Lil; I said who proposed to whom and......"

I did, I proposed to him, Isa. I love him. Don't you get it? I know you never loved Louis; you only married just for Father to be happy, so you can't relate to how I feel. My pride doesn't matter, all that matters is just him."

Isadora stood motionless. She knew Liliana loved Vance, but it never crossed her mind that Liliana, whom she valued most in the world, would take Vance over her.

No, she wouldn't. It can't be possible, not after everything I have gone for her; she can't choose that monster over me." She thought to herself.

She went over to where Liliana stood still, admiring her wedding gown, and grabbed her hands. She looked deep into her eyes as if trying to read her mind because she knew that no matter how angry she was she knew deep down that she wasn't ready to lose her baby sister to a demon.

Liliana, you can change this, okay? I have always been there for you, even when you were with Vance. He hasn't been there for you the way I have."

Liliana looked inside Isadora's eyes; she could sense the fear in her; she was still the big sister she knew. She didn't want her to get hurt, but she was the reason why she was the way she was.

Isadora made sure that she never lacked anything, so Liliana never handled her problems herself, and when her feelings for Vance came as a problem to her, she thought the only way to handle it was by making the first move, and there she was obsessed with him.

You gave me Vance, remember?? You told me to go ahead, you told me that it was okay to have a little fun with my youth, why are you desperately against it now?"

Yes, I can remember I did tell you that and that I did tell you that he was okay for you but I didn't know that you both would come this far....."

That's because you don't believe in love." Liliana cut in.

No, don't misquote my words, Lil. I believe in love and no matter how father has ruined it for me, I still do believe in love. But here's the main thing: I take back my words now, Lil; he is not the one for you; there's something worse than what he is showing you as his personality."

What do you mean by that, Isa? I told you that I know Vance like I know the letters of the alphabet, and here you are telling me how he is. You are just his business partner, and the fact that he treated you in a way you didn't like doesn't mean he will treat me the same way. We love each other and he will die just to keep me safe. I know that."

It's not what you think, Lil; I gave him to you without knowing who he was......"

So tell me who he is," Liliana cut in. Since you know someone I have been with for the past eleven years of my life. Tell me who he is. What is more to his personality that I don't know about?" Liliana asked wide-eyed. Isadora wanted to say something but kept her cool.

It was like a movie in her mind but no matter how much she thought of it, he was the one there that day on the bed with her. There were no two ways about it.

That night was when it all went wrong, she was angry with her father for signing a deal with The Rutherfords. The biggest and richest family in the whole of the USA even their family, The Calloways did

This was the same family that Liliana was going to be married into. No one has ever survived after speaking ill about them and Isadora knew more than anyone that their money was not as clean as they posed it to be. There was something more fishy about them and their money that she was sure only them and her father could explain.

Isa??" Liliana's voice interrupted, jolting her out of her thoughts.

What are you thinking about?? You just zoned out and I have been talking to myself."
