And exactly the next day, Rosaline was in her room-packing her stuff that she had to take with her. At that time, Mian-Rosaline cousin and Jiang younger sister walked to her room and stood leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed in front of her. She had a deriding smile on her face.
"I don't get it", Mian said.
Rosaline looked back to find her standing by the door of her room.
"What?", Rosaline asked confused.
"You are going to be the woman of the most powerful man", she said, "But you still act all unhappy and pitiful about it?"
Rosaline was stunned. She had noticed that eversince news of her going to Stafford family was revealed in front of everyone, Mian had been a little distant from her. But she couldn't imagine that Mian held such views.
"Mian?", Rosaline said with incredulity, "I don't act pitiful. I..."
"Oh, you don't?", Mian sneered at her, "Then how do I find Mom and Big brother pitying you all day?"
Rosaline was quiet for a while.
"I'm just not happy to be in this arrangement. They know it and that's why they are worried. That's all"
"You are not happy about it? Then why did you start it?"
"I didn't"
Mian laughed.
"Don't act all innocent and clueless in front of me sister. I can see right through your act."
Rosaline was startled to hear those harsh words from her younger cousin. She couldn't believe it that her cousin that used to be so sensible and kind would say such words to her.
"If what you are saying is true then how came he only asked for you from Wang family? Wasn't it because he was already familiar with you beforehand? And you tell us that you never had met him before!"
Rosaline didn't say anything to that. If she was to reveal the incident of that night in club in front of everyone, it would only bring more pain to them.
Mian was expecting an answer but to see the silence, she was confirmed.
"You liar! Why are you lying to all of us? You already seduced the best man! Now you also have to act pitiful to make you look innocent!", spatting those words, Wang left the place stomping.
Rosaline was hurt. Mian was a teenager and was in the rebellious phase of her life so Rosaline tended to overlook her outburst. She didn't blame Mian. Because she hadn't told her about the incident of her slapping Damon. But Rosaline had no choice. If she told Mian then depending on her personality Main wouldn't be able to keep a secret and told her parents.
Then they would be more worried about Rosaline.
But they couldn't do anything to stop what was happening. So in the end it would only bring pain to all of them. roslaine didn't want to cause more pain to her family.
It all started because of Rosaline to begin with.
Once in her room, Mian kicked the things scattered on the floor.
Her fists tightened.
She was jealous.
Damon was the person who was the dream of many girls. He had looks, money and status. Who wouldn't desire him. But girls like her could only dream about him.
She was aware of the fact that it was he who had helped them during their hard time. She had eavesdropped on her brother Jiang and Mom conversations. She also listened to the condition for his help. Wang family had to give their daughter to him.
And Mian thought it was her.
She was so happy-so happy to get him.
Who in the right mind would refuse someone like him?
So she had been in bliss for the whole year-fantasizing to be the woman of that man and enjoying the advantages of his wealth and status. She had even bragged about it among some of her friends.
But all her dreams shattered once it was revealed not just one month ago that it was her cousin he had asked for and not her.
Mian was broken. She had cried herself to sleep that night.
Why? She had asked herself. Her cousin was not half as pretty as her. She was just an orphan. Her accomplishments far exceeded her.
And after that what she couldn't tolerate was the way Rosaline acted. She acted all innocent and pitiful. And her mother and brother were worried sick about her.
Wasn't it Rosaline who seduced him? There was nothing good about her anyway. So why else would he ask for Rosaline if not for her seducing him?
Rosaline should have been hated by her Brother and Mom for her vile actions! For falling so ow to seduce a man!
But instead she was loved even more?
And was looked like she was going to sacrifice herself for her family?
As she thought about it, more anger rushed to her.
Slut!
Her big sister was a slut!
She couldn't believe that she had admired and respected that sort of sister for so many years.
