SHE

Who had fair and glowing skin... Thick, long, and shiny black wavy hair... A pair of aqua-colored, sparkling eyes. And the one who'd been loved by elders, admired by children, and the pride of the family.

SHE is my sister...

My sister, who had everything that I don't, who got all that I want and received all that I've longed for.

I hate her, but I want to be like her.

Despite being a boy, I strived to be an equal to her. I've grown my hair and taken good care of my skin. I achieved the perfect replica of her.

But just being only a copycat has never been enough.
I lived as a living picture of her image and became the scenery of my family who misses her. I'm still not equal.

Then one day, no one saw it coming...

A circumstance occurred that twisted the cycle of our world which I did not expect would change everything that we used to and opened the door to the next chapter of my bittersweet life.

The circumstance that crossed my path to the girl I never thought would play a huge part in my life...

That one girl who spoiled me with attention and filled my empty existence with genuine affection.

But... In just a blink of an eye, death took her from me.

Her sudden death caused dubiety to all of us...

Suicidal? No... Someone surely murdered her...


But... Our only question is...
.
.
.
Who?

Bittersweet Life

Clint nodded. "How long have you been living here?"


"It's almost 4 years." Heidi gradually felt her racing heart pacified. Her extreme nervousness was slowly fading and her trembling body finally calmed down.


"What do you do for a living?" Clint asked. Well, you would think it was a dumb question of him since Heidi was known as an actress but, then again. It was just his way of calming her down.


"I am an actress and I also do some modeling. But, right now. I am on hiatus. And. I am just relying on Jowanna. I'm helping her with her business." Heidi completely overcame her nervousness and Clint immediately noticed it.


He was glad his tactic was working. Clint smiled and leaned himself to emanate a more comfortable atmosphere around them.


"I see. So, business you say?" Clint scribbled in his notebook as he casually said those words. "Mhm. What business is it, Ms. Alvarez?"
