My stepsister falsely accused me of triggering her allergy, so my three siblings confined me to a small, stuffy basement and secured the entrance.
I feebly knocked on the basement door, pleading with my brothers to release me.
James, my eldest sibling and a business magnate, harshly reprimanded me before departing:
"It's terrible enough that you constantly torment Lily, but intentionally giving her seafood knowing her allergy? Were you attempting to end her life? Remain there and contemplate your actions!"
William, my second brother and an up-and-coming musician, and Henry, my third brother and a brilliant artist, both scoffed:
"Someone as cruel as you is still making justifications and acting like the victim? You can just stay there and face the repercussions!"
With those words, they carried my quivering stepsister Lily in their arms and hurried her to the medical center.
As the air gradually depleted, each inhalation became more difficult until I eventually perished in that basement.
Three days later, when my brothers came back home from the hospital with Lily, they finally recalled my existence.
However, by that time, I had already died from lack of air in that confined basement.
I lost my life due to oxygen deprivation in that cellar.
When I regained awareness, I found my spirit floating beside my three brothers.
They had just returned to their grand house. James and William were carefully assisting Lily, speaking to her with affection:
"We're so relieved we got you to the hospital in time. Your recovery is progressing well."
Henry doted on her with evident worry:
"The physician mentioned your body is still fragile and requires proper sustenance."
He then eagerly presented Lily with a substantial portion of meat.
A household employee tentatively spoke up: "Young sirs, Miss Rachel hasn't made any noise in the basement for three days now..."

Suffocated by Sibling Suspicion, A Ghost's Revenge

Since our parents passed away in my childhood, my three brothers had focused all their care on me.


One time I expressed a desire for a friend my age, so my brothers visited an orphanage and brought Lily home as my stepsister.


I welcomed Lily warmly, but she constantly set me up in front of my brothers, causing them to become increasingly estranged from me as time went on.


This instance was no exception – my three brothers didn't hesitate to lock me in that small cellar.


I fought hard to escape, but I could only sense the air in the tight space getting more scarce by the minute.


Banging on the cellar door, I pleaded with my brothers repeatedly to release me.


But my brothers just stared at me coldly, saying angrily:


"Why are you shouting? This is entirely your doing. If it weren't for you, would Lily be suffering from such a severe allergic reaction?"


"We've obviously been too lenient with you, which is why you keep mistreating and harassing Lily. Stay in there and reflect on your actions!"


With that, William personally secured chains around the door, while Henry stacked heavy items in front of it, removing any possibility of me freeing myself.


Now, observing Lily's pretend smile at my brothers, I let out another harsh, sarcastic laugh.


Brothers, the sister who cherished you most in this world has been destroyed by your own actions!


Lily pulled on James' sleeve and said in a woeful tone:


"Big brother, please don't be mad anymore. It's my fault for being so fragile and having food allergies. I'm certain big sister didn't intend harm. Please don't condemn her!"


James' face immediately darkened. He said coldly:


"That awful girl! We've obviously indulged her too much, allowing her to develop such a proud and controlling personality!"


William's eyes flashed with rising fury:


"As she ages, she becomes more petty. If it weren't for her, how could Lily have ended up in this condition?"


At this moment, Lily deliberately showed her limbs, which still displayed faint signs of the allergic reaction, to the three brothers. A few red marks were still visible.


Henry softly touched the skin that remained slightly reddened.


Lily bowed her head, her voice quivering as if on the verge of tears:


"It doesn't hurt... really, it doesn't..."


The rage in William's heart was fully ignited. He yelled furiously:


"If we had arrived at the hospital any later, it could have been life-threatening for Lily. And after all this time, she hasn't even sent a single


"Go fetch that terrible girl here to apologize! I can't believe she continues to refuse to say sorry!"


"It's all because she's depended on our backing. Now that she's committed a wrongdoing, she must face appropriate consequences!"
