NovelEnglishThe staff had parked the car in the garage, and by the tNatasha got it out, Olivia was waiting, planted right
on the curb.
She stepped in front of the car, blocking Natasha's path like she owned the road.
Olivia's dress was still a wreck, stained with grime, her hair a wet, matted mess from sspilled soup. But
despite looking like she'd crawled out of a dumpster, she was practically radiating smug
victory.
Natasha could picture it clear as day-Olivia sweet-talking the Clark family before heading out, playing the poor
little victim who still cared about her “baby sis,” trying to glue the family back together.
What a warm, fuzzy scene-doting parents, happy siblings, total Hallmark BS.
The two faced off by the car, the air crackling with tension.
“Natasha, | told you, didn’t I? Everything you've got, I'm taking back, piece by piece. You owe me,” Olivia said.
Natasha glared at her adoptive sister, who'd been fighting her for every crumb since they were kids. She didn’t
mince words. “What's so great about my hand-me-downs? Anything I've touched, you just gotta snatch up like
it’s treasure, huh? Olivia, you a creep or just that pathetic?”
“Keep running your mouth,” Olivia scoffed, her face darkening before a sly smirk crept back. “You're dying for
Grandma's house, aren't you? Way more than when the Clark family shares got handed to me. Too bad. After my
car crash, Mom promisedthat estate. In three days, it's mine.
“Sfortune-teller said I've got a weak vibe, that | need something old-like a house-to keep my life from going
off the rails. So Mom and Dad picked that one without a second thought. Funny, huh? The thing you've been
obsessed with forever just falls into my lap.”
Natasha's fists clenched, knuckles white. She flashed back to her parents’ shifty looks when she’d brought up
the estate, to Andrew's slip about “giving it to your sister.”
So it wasn't just talk-they’d already decided. Engaged or not, that house was never gonna be hers.

She'd chere clinging to a pathetic shred of hope they'd at least honor her grandma's last wish.
‘What a sick joke, she thought bitterly.
Her heart twisted, even though she thought she was done feeling their betrayal. They knew what that house
meant to her.

To Andrew and Madeline Dad, it probably didn’t matter who got it-Olivia or Natasha. But to Natasha, anyone else
in the world could have it. Anyone but Olivia.
Her eyes blazed with a murderous glint.
Olivia, still yapping, was loving every

That was the moment her childhood shattered.
The world stopped.
“Argh-" Olivia's smug rant cut off, her eyes wide with panic.
Natasha's hand clamped around her throat, pinning her against the car. Olivia could barely choke out a breath.
