Aloof Beauty

The two sisters are seven years old. Both well dressed in branded clothes, but Jane the younger sister, jealous of Kate's beauty, starts screaming, and crying and kicking and punching the air. "why does she have nicer clothes than mine?!" The butler and the maid were desperately trying to calm her down. "No, don't say that Miss Jane" "don't cry. Don't you know that good and polite young ladies don't cry." Their parents and other family members were not at home, they all went to work. In the family business, a modeling house and record company. It was founded by their grandfather when he was still twenty years old. And a year later he married their grandmother. He is a man who made his career easily and quickly. Jane is still crying profusely. In truth, the two girls were dressed in the exact same red dress, two braids with a bow clip at the beginning of the braid. Two black flats, two white socks and a red backpack on the shoulders. Kate didn't care much for clothes. So she decided to go and change for the sake of everyone's ears. And also because she doesn't feel like being late for school. She opted for a simple tracksuit with a pair of trainers, but she kept the backpack, because it's roomy inside. "stop crying now, come on, I don't want to be late."Kate said as she walked out of the family's huge mansion. Little by little Jane stops crying, and she too leaves the villa and then enters the huge limousine. Kate is already sitting, reading a book. Jane sticks her tongue out but her sister doesn't mind. The limousine leaves the gates of the villa in the direction of the prestigious school in which they had been enrolled. ***** It is night, and the villa has sunk into silence. Kate wakes up though, she had a nightmare. She gets up and leaves the bedroom that she shares with her younger sister. She wants to go find her mom and dad so they can reassure her and give her lots of cuddles. Going through multiple corridors, she finds their room. The door to their room is ajar and a faint light coming out of the room means they are awake. "Now, explain to me, why did we adopt her? Wasn't it enough to have our daughter Jane?" Her mom says. Kate freezes, and her breath catches in her throat. What did she just say? Am I adopted? Am I not their daughter? "Don't say that, she's my sister's daughter and that reckless one she married." Says the so-called father. "It's the only inheritance left from my sister. So I want to treat her as my daughter. And you have to accept that" "I understand that, but couldn't you treat her like a daughter even without us adopting her?" "No, I couldn't break her heart by letting her know that her parents died in a car accident. It would have left her traumatized." My parents are dead? Kate's mind was racing. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Her parents were dead? How could this be possible? And why hadn't anyone told her before? She felt a deep pain in her chest, and tears started streaming down her face. She stood frozen in the hallway, listening to her parents' conversation, unable to move or speak. She felt like her whole world had been turned upside down in an instant. She had always thought that her parents were her biological parents, and now she found out that they had adopted her. The news hit her like a ton of bricks, and she felt a sense of betrayal. Her parents had kept this secret from her all her life, and she had never suspected anything. She felt like she didn't know who she was anymore or where she belonged. After a few moments, Kate snapped out of her daze and composed herself. She wiped her tears and took a deep breath. She knew that she had to stop being so pityful. Kate listened intently, feeling a mix of emotions - sadness, anger, confusion, and relief. She was devastated to learn that her biological parents were no longer alive, but she also felt grateful for not being that witch that is her stepsister, real sister. It would be awful. After the initial shock wore off, Kate realized that nothing had really changed. She was still the same person she had always been. Kate heads into the living room, head down. She sits on the floor in front of one of the room's huge windows.The moon lights up the room and her face. Big tears run down her face. But she doesn't show any emotion. So that's why I never really felt like a part of this family. And here is the reason for my sister's hostility... half-sister. Ahaha... My parents are dead. So that night, Kate promised herself never to give in to her emotions. A promise sealed between her and the moon, her only confidante. ***** The two sisters are now 16-year-old teenagers. And their rivalry only got worse. Jane is the typical spoiled and rich family girl, with the whole school and family at her feet. Kate, on the other hand, is the typical emotionless youthful beauty. Mysterious girl who easily attracts, and all this makes her younger sister jealous. She watches her from afar, and her face withers green and red, with envy and anger. Jane spreads nasty comments about Kate throughout the school. And everyone believes them. Kate has no friends at school, or anywhere else. She spends all the time with headphones in her ears or a book in hand. Luckily they're not in the same class, but every time, at lunchtime, in the school cafeteria, when Kate arrives, Jane wants the whole school to be mean to her. The family knows nothing of course, but even though they have sometimes asked for something, Kate drives off all suspicion with her cunning lies. Which is now all too easy for her. Kate is a girl of few words, but still very intelligent. Both are smart. In fact, in the ranking of the school for Jane is always a struggle because she is always one place behind Kate and it makes her angry. ***** Now they are 18 years old. And they finished school. Kate won an overseas scholarship in Europe. She is going to study languages ​​in Paris. While Jane wants to become a fashion icon, so she will go to work for a friend of her mother, while still continuing her studies at a prestigious Academy in New York. So the two sisters will not meet for four years. The whole family is proud of both girls, but worried about the eldest, because she always seems so unemotional and withdrawn, and they don't know if she can handle life abroad. Kate worked and endured so much for this opportunity. She therefore leaves her country in complete peace of mind. ***** Four years have passed, and the two girls are back. Kate has already taken an apartment of her own, while Jane has preferred to return to the family villa. But at the first family reunion Kate was forced to return to that villa. And she brought her boyfriend with her. “They greeted her at the door. The butler took care of their clothes."Show me my daughter, how beautiful you grew up, and who is this young man?" Said the man she once called father. "This is Mike Topps. He is my boyfriend." Kate says tonelessly. "Hello sir, pleased to make your acquaintance. I am delighted to be engaged to your daughter." Meanwhile, everyone has gathered in the dining room. Where most of the family members were already sitting. The two sisters are sitting opposite each other. And neither of them is paying attention to the other one. The tension between the two could be cut with a knife. So this is how the story begins, but it's not over yet. The worst of the rivalry between the two sisters is coming.
