The two brothers rushed over. Alessia stepped aside to make room, but in the next instant, they surrounded her
instead.
“Lessie, are you okay?”
“What happened to your hand?”
Their questions cat her one after another, so quickly that Alessia couldn't even process them. She glanced
down at the purplish bruise on her hand-the result of blocking the volleyball Ileana had hurled at her in the last
play.
She pointed at Ileana, a little stunned. “She hitwith the ball.”
For sreason, her voice held a hint of wounded innocence, soft and pitiful enough to tug at anyone’s
heartstrings.
Ethan gently ruffled her hair and pulled her behind him, shielding her from the others. Liam, meanwhile,
examined her injury with careful hands.
“Does it hurt? We should get an X-ray at the hospital, just in case. You might have fractured something.”
Alessia shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt. It's not that bad.”
“No,” Liam insisted, his tone stern. “We're going.”
“But-" Alessia protested softly.

She looked at Ethan, eyes wide and desperate, but he cut her off coldly.
“Don’t callthat. | have only one sister, and her nis Alessia.” His words were icy, and though his face was
unreadable, there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes as he looked at Ileana.
Growing up, with their parents always busy, Ethan had looked after all the kids, but he'd always had a special
soft spot for this little sister. Seventeen years of care, of protecting her, and yet she’d grown up to be so cold and
selfish-a complete.

“She tried to choke me! Look at my neck-" Illeana pointed at her own throat, her voice trembling with accusation.
“Have you looked at my sister's hand?” Liam interjected sharply. “It's already

bruised!”
“Llam!” Ileana cried out, her voice cracking, but it only made her start coughing uncontrollably.
No one in the gym felt any sympathy; in fact, everyone instinctively took a step back, as if afraid to catch
something contagious.
“Lessie would never hurt someone without a reason,” Ethan said flatly. “Maybe take a good look at yourself and
think about what you've done.”
With that, he took Alessia away, leaving lleana standing all alone.
She stood frozen on the spot. This wasn’t how it was supposed to be. It wasn’t supposed to turn out like this.
The plan had been simple: Lucy would talk to the Morton brothers, and of course they’d have her back, just like
always. So why-why were they taking Alessia’s side? What had Alessia done to win them over? Before, no matter
what happened, they'd always chosen her.
Why? Why not this time?
Illeana sank to the floor, tears streaming down her face, her chest tight with pain.
It was all Alessia’s fault-everything was because of her! Without Alessia, everything would have been hers: the
Morton family, the Tate family, all of it. Alessia... Alessia should just disappear!
She struggled to her feet, but the quiet gym was suddenly filled with the sound of approaching footsteps.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Each step echoed through the empty hall, pounding directly on Ileana’s nerves. She started to tremble.
The footsteps stopped. In the silence,
