My name is Ashley, my older sister is just a year and a month older than me and is named Audrey. We have an older brother named Amir. I, Ashley, am 17, my older sister is 18 and our older brother is 21. We come from a family that is not very rich but still manages to provide for itself. My sister and I are not twins but we are as alike as two peas in a pod with the same height. I love my sister very much and she loves me very much, or at least that is what I always thought. Will jealousy take over my sister and our sibling relationship?

A stolen life Chapter 1 The eighteen birthday

Today is my older sister Audrey Gomez's eighteenth birthday. Everything was organized by our older brother. It will be a fairly simple party but with those she loves, that is, some members of our family, our older brother and I and also with her boyfriend John. John comes from a family in our neighborhood. We go to the same school.

My sister is not very in love with John. However, John is very in love with Audrey and does everything he can to make her happy, which is never enough for Audrey.

My sister is in a relationship with John so she doesn't stay single because her best friend Rebecca persuaded her to say yes just to play with him so she doesn't stay alone when they go out with friends.

***In Audrey's room***

So how are you feeling sis? Ashley asked her,

Old. Nothing else, replied Audrey.

You shouldn't feel old. You're just funny.

- I'm not kidding Ashley. I feel old compared to you. You're so young and I'm already getting old.

– you seem to be becoming pathetic. How can you say such a thing? Each of us is getting older with each passing day no matter how old we are. Why compare yourself to me, besides we are only 13 months apart in age.

- It seems like your 18th birthday is making you lose your mind.

- You're probably right. I'm talking nonsense.

- In short, everyone is already ready downstairs. I came up to tell you before you started talking nonsense. John is here too.

It was while discussing this that Rebecca entered, saying,

Ashley go out, I have to talk to my best friend.

I'm not surprised, Ashley replied. Every time you see me, you have to make a fool of me to feel comfortable. I'm leaving, but I'm especially angry with Audrey who lets you treat me like that. I don't know what you blame me for, Rebecca, to treat me like that every time we're in the same room.

Then Ashley left Audrey's room.

Rebecca went to close the door and came back to tell Audrey,

This idiot doesn't know what's in store for her. She makes me so angry.

Audrey started laughing and said,

And John?

He's downstairs, waiting for you with a bouquet of wilted flowers just like his meaningless life. So he thinks you're already his what? He doesn't know what's in store for him.

Audrey laughed out loud again. Then she said,

if only he knew what awaited him.

***In Ashley's room***

She still feels very humiliated once again by this behavior of Rebecca. All alone then in her room, she thought about why her sister never took her defense every time Rebecca treated her like that. This has been going on since she was 12 years old.

It started a few weeks after their parents died in a terrible car accident, more precisely a few days after their funeral. Ashley at the age of 12 was returning from school with her parents in their vehicle. That day, Audrey and Amir had not gone to class. A young man in a luxury car was driving in the opposite direction. The young man was 16 years old at that time and had his driving license with the authorization of his parents. His father is a very famous man in the city. He is the general practitioner who owns the private clinic which has almost all the medical equipment. This young man named Mike is the only child of his parents. He was talking to his father who was in the passenger seat and laughing when he collided with Ashley's parents' vehicle. Ashley was in the back.

Mike's father immediately called his clinic for an ambulance but before the ambulance arrived, Ashley's parents lost their lives.

As a child, Ashley didn't understand what was happening. However, she knew her brother Amir's phone number.

After contacting Ashley's brother, their parents' bodies were buried a few weeks later.

In front of their parents' grave, Mike made a promise to be Ashley's future husband, which his father approved of.

As for Mike's father, he has resolved to take care of all the financial needs of the children who are Amir, Audrey, and Ashley.

So Mike and Ashley have been in a relationship for 5 years even though their relationship really started when Ashley celebrated her 16th birthday.

So it's been a year since Mike and Ashley's romantic relationship actually started. Before that, they were just very close friends because Mike saw that Ashley was too small to explain to her the meaning of a romantic relationship, but as soon as she turned 16, she understood a lot of things and the two were already madly in love with each other from spending a lot of time together.

*** End of flashback ***

Now being in her room thinking about Rebecca's behavior earlier, Ashley's phone started ringing.

The call was from her boyfriend Mike.

A smile immediately appeared on her face after seeing the number calling her.

She picked up the call with a wide smile and heard,

So how is the coolest girlfriend on the planet doing?

very good every time she hears her prince charming's voice.

- I hope you are well my dear

now yes, otherwise Rebecca had upset my morale a little

oooh your sister's famous best friend. Don't let her ruin your sister's party. Speaking of which, I hope you enjoyed the party thrown by the event service my dad hired?

Yes, darling. Everything is perfect and very well organized. I enjoyed it anyway. We will never stop thanking you and your parents for everything you have done for my sister, my brother and me since that famous tragic day.

Let's not talk about it please, sweetie. You know that I went through several sessions of psychological therapy to forgive myself for having been the cause of this accident. So I don't like to remember that day.

This day was the saddest of my life. Anyway, let's change the subject.

- I guess you still miss your parents

- exactly, all the gold and silver in the world will never be able to replace them

- You're right. Nevertheless I will always make you feel less the pain of their tragic departure

Thank you my love. I love you

I love you too

Suddenly Ashley's bedroom door opened and Rebecca came screaming in,

Your sister is about to cut the cake and what are you doing here?

I'll call you back my love, Ashley said then ended the phone call.

Then she said to Rebecca,

In exactly one month, I'm going to be 17. So I'm not that little girl you used to yell at every time you felt like it. And for your information, I don't like it when you come into my room like that. You just ended my boyfriend and I are in conversation.

Then Ashley walked out of the room to join the others.

All alone, Rebecca began to laugh, saying to herself:

your lover? Okay, okay.

HONEY MULLINS
5.0

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

Rising From Wreckage: Starfall's Epic Comeback

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.
