Chapter 5
I instinctively raised my hand to shield my eyes.
But Isana wouldn’t let go, tightening her grip. “You’re still ashamed? Shameless mistress.”
“Keep filming! Expose her! Let everyone know she’s a homewrecker!”
I slapped Isana across the face.
She screamed, holding her cheek. “You dare hit me? I’ll make you regret it!”
I slapped her again.
“If you want to cause a scene, go back to your own house. But if you want to expose me, then let everyone know what you’ve

done. I brought my boyfriend home to meet my parents, and the first night, you crawled into your future brother–in–law’s bed, got pregnant, and tried to force my hand. What else do you want?”
The crowd gasped in shock.
“That sister’s a total mess, she’s seducing her brother–in–law?”
“Are there no men left in this world? How can
she steal her sister’s man?”
Homer walked out, his face cold as ice.
Isana’s eyes brightened. “Homer, she’s bullying me!”
But Homer ignored her and pulled me into his arms, whispering, “I thought you’d changed after all these years, but it seems I

can still make you angry.”
“I’ll give you three seconds to delete all those photos and videos. Otherwise, you don’t want to know the consequences.”
“Homer, how could you help her? I’m carrying your child!”
I was held tightly in Homer’s arms, unable to see anything, only hearing Isana’s desperate.
screams.
“If it weren’t for the baby in your belly, do you think you’d still be standing here talking to me? Now, get lost.”
“Wynette, just wait. I won’t let you off the hook.”
When I received the call from my father telling me to come home, I wasn’t surprised

at all. Isana was always the best at playing the victim.
From a young age, she’d throw my doll out of the window and then tell Dad I didn’t like the gift he’d bought and had thrown it away. I got a beating and never received another gift from him again.
Then there was the time she refused to eat her food and claimed I had threatened her to not eat, leaving me hungry all day. There were countless other incidents like this, but one thing never changed–the one who always got blamed was me.
“Wynette, why are you bullying Isana? It’s Homer who’s been tormenting your sister. Why are you helping someone who isn’t even family? Do you really want your sister’s baby to be born without a father? You’re so capable, you can have any man you want

-why can’t you just let your sister have a chance?” Yamila sobbed as she clung to Isana.
Dad pointed at me, hurling insults. “Ungrateful brat. Always picking on your sister since you were little. I should’ve strangled you at birth if I knew you’d turn out like this.”
“Didn’t you have no say in this matter?” I asked, smiling at the impotent rage of Dilan, my biological father.
“You’re just a son–in–law. This house belongs to my mom–what right do you have to talk?”
“Shut your mouth!” Dilan rushed at me, raising his hand.
I grabbed his wrist.

Dilan froze, eyes wide in disbelief. “You dare hit me?”
“Should I just keep putting up with it?” I shoved his hand off. “You know very well that Isana stole my man, yet you still protect her. Have you ever treated me like your daughter?”
“Isana’s pregnant. Are you really going to make her raise the baby alone?”
Thankfully, I had never had any illusions about him, so I said sarcastically, “You know exactly how she got pregnant. Don’t pretend like you don’t.”
Dilan’s face turned awkward.
“But the baby in my belly is Homer’s, and that’s the truth.” Isana had stopped crying and jumped up, declaring, “You can’t have

children, do you think the Wilcher family will want you?”
“So what if it’s his child? So what if I can’t have kids?” I flashed the huge diamond ring on my right hand’s ring finger. “See this? It’s the engagement ring Homer gave me. He said you’re just a tool to have his babies.”
Isana’s face twisted with rage.
I continued, “He said he only let you move into the Wilcher family because of the baby in your belly. Do you really think a wealthy family like theirs would let a high school dropout like you into their house?”
“You’re lying!” Isana stammered, her eyes wide with fear.
Yamila wrapped her arms around Isana and comforted her. “Isana, don’t listen to this

nasty girl. Once you have the baby, Homer will definitely marry you.”
“A child? You don’t really think Homer’s only going to have this one child, do you?” I laughed at them.
“Homer’s young. He’ll have other children, and when that happens, what do you think will happen to your child?” I shot Yamila a knowing smile.
I left as Isana’s shrill screams echoed behind me.
