Invisible To Her Bully Chapter 1 Meeting

Jessa

Seven Years Earlier

Growing up as a twin sounds fun, right? Built-in best friend, someone who always has your back, someone who gets you without explanation. That's what I had-at least for the first ten years of my life.

My twin brother, Jackson, was the center of my world. We were fraternal twins, but opposites in every way. Jackson was tall, lean, athletic, and could make friends with just about anyone. I was short, a little chunky, shy to the point of painful, and usually tripping over my own feet.

But it never mattered to me. I didn't need a million friends. I had Jackson. He was my best friend, my other half, my person.

It was always just the two of us. Our mom worked constantly to keep food on the table, so most of the time it was just me and him. Maybe that's why we clung to each other so hard.

"Jax, I wanna go home," I whined, dragging my feet as he tossed a football from hand to hand.

"Jess, chill. I told the new kid I'd meet him here to throw the ball around," he said, his brown eyes locked on the field like he was already in the NFL.

"This is boring." I plopped down on the grass.

He sighed, dug in his pocket, and tossed me a granola bar. "Here. Peanut butter. Your favorite."

Instant mood boost. "Yes! Thanks, Jax."

While I was tearing open the wrapper, he straightened up, glancing at the entrance to the field. "That's him."

A boy about our age walked toward us, a football tucked under his arm. He had dark, messy brown hair and the greenest eyes I'd ever seen. The kind of eyes you notice right away. And his lashes? Long enough to make me jealous.

"Hey," he said to Jackson.

"Hey, Noah. This is my twin, Jessa."

I scrambled up, brushing grass off my jeans. My mouth moved faster than my brain. "Wow... you've got really long eyelashes. For a boy."

Noah's cheeks turned pink. "Uh, thanks?"

Jackson groaned. "Sorry, she doesn't have a filter sometimes."

"I just meant they're... pretty," I tried, wishing I could disappear.

"Jess, why don't you go sit while we toss the ball around," Jackson muttered.

"She doesn't play?" Noah asked.

I shook my head before Jackson could answer. "Not really my thing."

"Nope. If she tried to throw, she'd probably knock herself over," Jackson joked.

I pretended not to care, sitting back down on the sidelines, but my eyes kept drifting toward Noah as he and Jackson tossed the ball. He wasn't just cute-he was quiet, too. Almost shy. Something about him made me want him to like me.

After they finished, Jackson clapped him on the back. "You've got a good arm."

"Two older brothers taught me some stuff," Noah shrugged.

"Oh! So they're your best friends too, like me and Jackson?" I asked eagerly.

"No. They're just... brothers. I don't really have a best friend."

My heart squeezed. "Then you should get one. Me and Jackson do everything together. He's the best best friend you could ever have."

Noah looked at Jackson. Jackson just shrugged. Noah nodded slightly, like he got the message.

At the time, I didn't realize how wrong I was.

One Month Later

"I don't wanna go to the movies, Jax!" I whined, arms crossed.

"Too bad. Noah and I wanna see the new Marvel movie. You can't stay home alone."

"We always do what you and Noah want. What about me?"

He sighed. "Jess, I love you. But sometimes I wanna do stuff without you. You need to find your own friends."

That stung more than I wanted to admit.

The doorbell rang, and Noah walked in with his usual smirk.

"Sup."

"Jess, get your shoes on," Jackson ordered.

"She's coming too?" Noah asked.

"Yeah. Mom's at work. I'm babysitting."

"Babysitting?" I snapped. "We're the same age! You're not babysitting me."

"I'm twelve minutes older," Jackson shot back.

Noah snickered. "She's definitely acting like the baby."

I stormed off to grab my shoes, but I froze halfway up the stairs when I heard Noah's voice:

"Man, your sister's such a brat. Wish she didn't have to tag along."

Jackson's answer was the knife that cut deepest. "Tell me about it."

At the theater, I tried to forget. "Jax, can we get popcorn? With extra butter?"

Noah raised his brows. "Do you really need the extra butter?"

I clenched my fists. "Yes. I like it that way."

Jackson slipped me a couple of bills. "Get your own small one."

I headed for the snack line, and that's when I heard them again.

"She always has to be eating," Noah muttered.

"Yeah," Jackson said with a low laugh. "Sometimes it's embarrassing to be seen with her."

The words hit harder than any punch. My own twin-my best friend-was embarrassed of me.

"Hey, it's your turn," a girl behind me said gently.

I shook my head. "Changed my mind."

She frowned. "You okay?"

"No," I whispered. "I think I lost my best friend."

She studied me, then said, "I'm Mariah. We're in the same class, right? You're Jessa. Jackson's twin."

"Yeah."

"What movie are you supposed to be seeing?"

"Some superhero thing."

Mariah smirked. "Ditch it. Come with me instead. There's a new comedy. Way cuter lead actor."

Before I could decide, Jackson and Noah appeared.

"Jess, what's taking so long?" Jackson demanded. "Oh, hey, Mariah."

Mariah smiled sweetly. "Hi. Jessa and I are seeing the comedy instead."

Jackson shrugged. "Fine. Meet us in the lobby after."

As he and Noah disappeared, Mariah tugged me toward her theater.

"Come on. You need a laugh."

I glanced back one last time at my brother's retreating figure.

He stole my best friend, I thought. And he's never giving him back.

Three Years Later

Thirteen hit me hard. My body changed in ways I didn't ask for. I wasn't the chubby little girl anymore-I had curves. Breasts too big for my age. Hips that didn't match the other girls at school.

Mom always said, Girls built like us need to cover up. Layers make you look thinner.

So I wore baggy shirts. Oversized hoodies. Clothes that swallowed me whole. It didn't matter. The teasing still came.

"Jess, you're wearing that?" Jackson asked one morning, eyeing my loose shirt.

"It's comfortable."

"It's a tent." He rolled his eyes and left.

Mom kissed my cheek. "Ignore him. He doesn't understand what it's like for girls like us."

At school, the comments started before I even reached the doors.

"The circus is in town!"

"Yeah, they brought the whale exhibit!"

My stomach dropped when I saw where it came from-Jackson and Noah, flanked by their football buddies, all laughing.

"Nice shirt, Jess," Noah snorted. "They only had tent size left?"

"Shut up, Noah."

Jackson smirked. "Told you it was too big."

"Perfect for hiding that fat ass," Noah added, sending the group into hysterics.

I turned away, pretending I couldn't hear. But their laughter followed me.

By the time I reached my locker, my hands were shaking. I tugged the handle, but it was jammed. Mariah appeared at my side.

"Need help?"

We pulled together until it finally burst open-and trash bags tumbled out, spilling all over the hallway.

A note taped to one read: Got you a new wardrobe.

The roar of laughter around us was deafening.

"Did you do this?" Mariah snapped at Jackson and Noah, who had pushed through the crowd to watch.

Noah grinned. "She wants to dress like a hobo? Why not just give her options?"

Jackson chuckled. "Relax. It's just a joke."

Mariah glared at him. "She's your sister."

But Jackson only walked away with Noah.

I stared at the trash bag in my hands. For just one second, I wished I could trade places. To be the one laughing, not the one humiliated.

Present Day

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I groaned, slamming my alarm clock. Senior year. My last year in this hellhole.

I'm Jessa. Nobody special. Just the overweight twin sister of Jackson, starting quarterback and golden boy of our high school. The sister his best friend, Noah Carter, has made it his life's mission to torment.

Once, when I was ten, I thought Noah was cute. That crush didn't survive the year. Now at eighteen, he's tall, broad-shouldered, perfect hair, perfect smile. Every girl wants him.

And I can't stand him.

But he's always around-because he's Jackson's best friend. The boy who stole my brother from me.

I roll out of bed and tug on my armor: jeans, tank top, oversized button-up. The layers hide the body I've been told to be ashamed of.

Time to sneak out before Jackson sees me. Before Noah's voice finds me.

Another day. Another battle.

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.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.
