+ Pearls

Lily's eyes glinted with mockery as she led the gun in her hand, her voice laced with feigned curiosity. “You

know, little sister, before you answer my question, there's something that’s been bothering me. We're sisters,

tied by blood. So how is it that you turned out so... different from me?”

She paused for a moment, tilting her head as if genuinely pondering the question. Then she sneered, her tone

sharp and condescending. Look at me-brave, intelligent, and capable. And then look at you- cowering there,

trembling like a leaf, so foolish and spineless. Tell me, little sister, what are you so afraid of?”

With a flick of her wrist, she held the gun up, letting the cold, metallic sheen catch the light. “Is it this?” she

asked, her lips curling into a twisted simile. “This gun... isn't it beautiful? Do you know what makes it so special?”

Rose's breath hitched, her eyes widening with terror.

“This,” Lily continued, her voice dropping to a low, menacing tone, “isn’t just any gun. It's going to be my latest

addition to my collection. Do you know what that means, little sister?”

Rose gasped audibly, shaking her head in denial. “No! Please, no!” she whispered, her voice cracking with

fear.

Of course, she knew what her sister meant. Lily had a chilling, almost obsessive hobby that only she understood.

She rarely dirtied her hands when dealing with her enemies, preferring to use hired professionals or her own

trained assassins. To her, doing it herself was beneath her dignity-unless the person in question was special.

For those rare individuals who mattered enough to her-whether because of betrayal or obsession-Lily handled

them personally. And when she did, she used one of her precious, ornate guns. In the basement of their home,

there was a wall plated in gold, where three guns were mounted in display. Beneath each gun was the nof

the enemy she had personally eliminated.

Rose didn’t need to be told what her sister's words implied. One wrong move, one unsatisfactory answer, and

her nwould soon join that grim collection. She would be the reason for a fourth gun on that gleaming wall.

Lily noticed the panic etched across her sister's face and smirked, clearly savoring the moment. “Oh, relax, little

sister,” she said with mock sweetness. “I'm sure you'll givea satisfying answer. You wouldn't wantto use

this gun, would you?”

Her voice turned cold again as she tapped the gun lightly against her palm. “Now, where was 1? Oh, yes. | was

wondering how you turned out so cowardly and stupid. Hannah, do you think it's my fault for spoiling you too

much? Or maybe God just forgot to give you a decent brain when He made us sisters?”

She chuckled darkly, her eyes glinting with cruel amusement. “Honestly, what do you think went wrong? How

could you be so foolish as to fall in love with the man I love? You, of all people, should knowbetter than

anyone. You know how possessive | am. What | want is mine-always. So why would you be stupid enough to try

and take Lucas from me?”

Rose's lips trembled as she tried to speak, but no words cout. Her elder sister didn’t need an she was

merely toying with her prey.

Lily leaned in closer, her voice dripping with venom. “Even after knowing how much I loved him, why did you

marry him, Hannah? Why would you betraylike that? | gave you so many chances to fix your mistake, so

many chances to leave Lucas. But no, you wouldn't listen. You just couldn't. could you?”

Her smile widened as she added, “And don’t worry, little sister. Ill help you find someone. Anyone you choose, I'll

make sure they're yours. Just leave Lucas for me. That's all I'm asking”

She took a step closer, her tone shifting back to menacing “You'll accept this proposal, won't you? Why aren't

you saying anything? What's your decision? Are you going to leave Lucas or not? Yes, or no?”

Lily raised the gun, pointing it directly at Rose’s trembling form. Her voice was sharp and commanding “Think

very carefully before you answer. If you say yes-if you walk away from Lucas-you’ll have a good life ahead of

you. But... Her lips curled into a sinister smile. “If your answer is no, if you insist on clinging to him, all that’s

waiting for you is death”

She leaned in, her eyes narrowing as she added mockingly, “And because I'm such a kind-hearted sister. I'll even

give you the privilege of choosing how you want to die. Isn't that thoughtful of me?” Her laughter rang out,

echoing against the cliffside.

“Option one,” she began, holding up a finger, “you take a step back, fall off the cliff, and let gravity do the work.

Quick, but maybe a bit painful.” She paused tically before continuing. “Option two, you step forward, and

I'll handle it myself. One clean shot, and it’s over. No lingering pain, no suffering. If you ask me, I'd recommend

the second option. It's faster, more efficient. One shot, and... gover.”

Her laughter grew louder, a chilling sound that sent shivers down Rose's spine. “So, little sister,” she said, her

voice dripping with menace, “what will it be? Choose wisely.”
