He Took My Body, Then Called My Sister’s Name 74

Chapter 11 

On the morning of Isabella’s birthday, Benjamin called to deliver a warning. If you don’t come to apologize to Isabella today, don’t ever bother returning to the Sinclair family again.” 

He seemed to have forgottenI hadn’t set foot in that socalled home for three years

But I went anyway

When Nathaniel saw me preparing to leave, his hand instinctively moved to grip the handles of my 

wheelchairjust like he always had

This time, I didn’t react. I simply stared at him in silence

Meeting my gaze, his fingers slowly loosened their hold

The new bodyguard took over

From the moment I left until the car pulled away, I didn’t speak a single word to him

He stood there, watching my car disappear into the distance

Benjamin wasn’t surprised by my arrival. His lips curled into a sneer before he turned away to greet other guests, dismissing me entirely

Richard stood beside his mistressturnedwife Victoria and their beloved Isabella, the four of them 

playing the perfect happy family for their guests

Nathaniel showed up too, arriving just before the Young Master of the Hawthorne family’s extravagant gift was presented. Dressed impeccably, his gaze softened with something dangerously close to tenderness as he watched Isabella unwrap it from across the room

I looked away after a single glance

Flushed with triumph, Isabellaresplendent in her haute couture gownhad my caretaker and bodyguard discreetly removed before sauntering over to me. See that, Emily?she purred, eyes glittering with malice. That was from the Hawthorne family’s Young Master himself.” 

Once, she’d been beneath me in every way. Now, she had the one thing I’d never taken from her— 

his undivided attention. Of course she couldn’t resist rubbing it in

You can’t turn a crow into a swan just by dressing it up,I said flatly. Some things aren’t meant 

to be worshipped.”

Rage twisted her featuresuntil her gaze snagged on the steak knife beside us. A slow, vicious smile spread across her face

I knew exactly what she was going to do

I didn’t stop her. Didn’t even flinch. Just watched, detached, as she staged her little performance

Ah! Emily, what are youhow could you attack me just because you’re jealous?” 

The knife clattered at my feet. A thin red line marred her palm

Every head in the room swiveled toward us

Richard. Benjamin

Nathaniel

Victoria lunged forward, cradling Isabella’s hand as tears sprang to her eyesyet somehow still managing to shoot me a look of fearful reproach, as if I were the tyrant terrorizing her

The crowd ate it up. Murmurs of pity rippled through the room for the poor, helpless mother and daughter at the mercy of the vicious Sinclair heiress

I almost laughed

The same cheap tricks. The same pathetic acting. And yet, every time, they believed her

Emily, I know you despise me, but Isabella is innocent. How can you keep hurting her like this? Or do you truly not fear the Hawthorne heir’s wrath?” 

Emily,Richard thundered, face purple with fury, I’ve tolerated your behavior long enough! Apologize to Isabella now, or I’ll disown you!” 

Benjamin’s hands shook with rage. Emily, have you forgotten my warning? Bring the punishment 

cane.” 

Whispers swarmed around me like vultures

And Nathaniel

He just stood there. Watching. Waiting for me to reap what I’d sown

What’s the matter?I asked softly, sweeping my gaze over each of themIsabella, Victoria

Richard, Benjaminbefore landing on him. Disappointed I’m not dead yet?”

With a humorless smile, I reached for the bloodied knife

Of course, my ruined hands couldn’t even grip it properly

A stunned silence fell as the guests finally registered the obvious. Waitdidn’t they say Mr. Hawthorne shattered her hands? How could she possibly hold a knife?” 

Isabella paled

Ever the quick thinker, Victoria jumped in. Emily, stop pretending. Your hands are fine-” 

The chorus of accusations swelleduntil my caretaker and bodyguard returned

You’re right,I said pleasantly. I’m not injured at all. So how would you like me to repay 

Isabella?” 

The sheer audacity of my agreement left them momentarily speechless

Ignoring their stunned faces, I instructed my caretaker to strap the knife to my right palm

Then- 

dear 

I drove it straight through my left hand

Blood sprayed. The crowd recoiled

Fresh crimson bloomed across my bandages as my right wounds split open anew

Is this enough?” 

The message was clearI was incapable of harming anyone

Dead silence

Richard and Benjamin looked like they’d been struck

Nathaniel took an aborted step forwardonly to freeze when my icy stare pinned him in place

Emily’s hands are mutilated,someone muttered. If she wanted to hurt Isabella, she wouldn’t 

have left a scratch.” 

She’s insane—” 

Wouldn’t you be, with a family like that?”

She’s just scared of Mr. Hawthorne’s retaliation!” 

Turning to Nathaniel, I smiled. Happy now?” 

His face went ashen

Something sharp and needlethin lanced through my chestbut the pain was dull, distant

His lips parted

No words came
