Chapter 1Prologue

Sorry

Sorry to all the heroines who thought they were smart and helping, only to get caught by the villain. Sorry for scolding you guys. I never thought I would be among them but, here I am, where exactly I don't know but in a similar situation.

My left side of the face is throbbing badly from the hitting I took and there is something seriously wrong with my left eye which is closed shut. My body is covered in bruises. I don't know how much time has passed since my last beating. My stomach grumbles reminding me that the last thing I ate is long gone. There is nothing in this room except the chair I was tied to.I can hear water dripping somewhere. It's been 5 days since I was captured. They thought they could break me but I still have some fight left in me. I am not going to let go that easily.

Whoever is doing this don't know me completely. I have a hunch who is behind this. I try again to loosen my hands without any success.

Suddenly I hear footsteps approaching me. I know it's not time yet for next round. Something is wrong. I take my position hunching my shoulders and looking weak. The door opens and I blink just to make sure I'm looking right. My brain is telling me something but I'm still struck in my position. I think I took to many beatings, that's it. That has to be.

' I presume my guys took care of you nicely'

I don't know what to say, am I hallucinating?

' I know you are not that dumb, I'm talking to you'.

Finally I was able to move my mouth, but all I could say was 'why?'

'Seriously, do you think I'm gonna all bad villain on you like in old movies and confess my crimes? Grow up. But I have to say I'm disappointed in you. I sure thought you would be able to solve but anyways'

Saying that she pointed a gun right at my head. Its funny how they say you can watch your whole life passing before your eyes at the time of death, but I didn't feel anything.

'It was nice meeting you', was the last thing I heard.

BANG.

PAMPERED BY MY THREE BROTHERS: THE RETURN OF THE NEGLECTED HEIRESS

Penny has three brothers: one is a billionaire CEO, the second is the youngest military lieutenant, and the last is a successful actor. These three successful men had only one common ground: bullying Penny, their sore-eye of a little sister. The sister they never wished to have, and the one who claimed to be their real sister, while the sister they treasured all this time was a fake. After living a life of maltreatment in her aunt's home, some people of high standing came to Penny with news of her real parentage. She thought she was finally saved from her aunt’s clutches, unaware that what awaited her was worse. At 13, Penny only wished for one thing: for her brothers to love her and treat her like family, just as much as they loved their fake sister. She worked and studied ten times harder than anybody else just to be accepted by them. In her desperation, she foolishly fell into a trap set by a malicious person, not knowing her actions would result in the downfall of her brothers and her ending up in jail with a death sentence.

And much to her surprise, Penny found herself back on the day it all began: the day she was born. As promised, this time, she wouldn’t foolishly try to earn her brothers' love and affection. Never mind family! She’d just make a lot of money, live in luxury, and make a family of her own! But wait, why is it now that she didn’t want anything to do with her brothers, they kept poking their noses into her business? Weren’t they supposed to pamper their fake sister? Why won’t they leave her alone?! And how on earth was she married in this lifetime? To make matters worse, this husband she never had in her first life was suddenly volunteering to be the father of her children?!

This story has such a unique plot, different from most 'office type' stories I've read. It's bittersweet because it's well developed and yet suspenseful enough to keep you on the edge of your seat as you read. I was so hooked on the story I just wanted to know where it was going to go. Great storytelling!

I enjoy the premise of this story. It is a nice page-turning, suspenseful mystery. I just started reading and i am already invested. I wonder why the Sister is capitalized like a pronoun. I am not sure if that was intentional of simply a typo. Nonetheless, I definitely recommend this novel.
