Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 532

“The younger twin said that there were too many people at home. If they found out about her existence and spread the word, it would bring shame to her father. Thus, she dismissed all of them, only leaving the old woman who had brought food to her, Mrs. Dane. Mrs. Dane would clean the house, while the younger twin would personally cook for her father. He was delighted at this—his eldest daughter was his pride and joy, and his youngest daughter was considerate and caring.”

“One morning, after breakfast, the patriarch suddenly felt unwell. A sharp pain shot through him, and his experience told him that he had been poisoned, perhaps by mercury. He suddenly fainted. When he regained consciousness, he was bedridden and unable to move. Eventually, he lost the ability to speak.”

“‘Father, you mistreated me for twenty years, and I’m only returning the favor. You and my sister enjoyed all of life’s greatest pleasures, while I had to endure the loneliness in the attic. Now, it’s your turn,’ the younger twin said to her father.”

“It was only then that the patriarch realized that his youngest daughter had long since become twisted after spending close to two decades on her own. However, he still had a huge fortune that he had amassed as well as inherited, and it was all tucked away in a Swissonian bank account. The younger twin knew about this, and she had kept him alive so that she could get this information out of him. The patriarch refused to say a word about it, though. He was waiting for his eldest daughter to come home.”

“‘Father, stop dreaming. You know very well my sister’s nothing but a naive, ignorant woman. Do you think she stands a chance against me? I grew up in much tougher conditions than she did, and I’m much better at handling adversity compared to her. Don’t you know that she’ll end up just like you when she comes back here?’ The patriarch immediately turned pale. This was what he was most worried about.”

“Alas, the healthy daughter eventually returned home. Their house was as huge as it had always been, but all the maids had been dismissed. As she looked at her younger sister with whom she shared the exact same appearance, she suddenly felt terrified. The younger twin glanced at her elder sister’s abdomen, which was slightly rounded.”

“She smiled cruelly and said to her elder sister, ‘Are you pregnant? Give birth to the baby, and I’ll show you what it feels like to be tortured by separation. Both you and the father of your child will get a taste of this.’”
