Chapter 1

Catherine MacQuin was the first born of the MacQuin family, an influential family respected by many people. Having red ruby eyes and blonde hair, she was the only heiress fit to have the inheritance left by her father who passed away after remarrying.

Her stepmother, Agatha Crucibell, has two children, Livia Crucibell and Jenneth Crucibell. Livia has a 1 year age gap with Jenneth where as Catherine has a 3 years age gap between Livia and Jenneth making her the oldest.

All was well and fine until her father died. After the death of her father, the mother and daughter duos began to scheme behind her back. They would plot mischievous things on her and at the end of the day damaged her reputation.

Everyone gave her the name "Mischievous schemer." Of course no matter how many times she protest that it wasn't her, none would believe her.

Schemes only revolve in her life. She was sick and tired of being bullied.

One day she decided to change. She will grow strong and slowly take back what belongs to her. She will let those who have harmed and hurt her experience 10x the pain she suffer. But who would've thought that at the day she swore an oath, the next day all was for nothing?

Sfx: cough cough!

"My, my sister. Don't you think your coughing up too much blood?"

Looking at her own blood, Catherine's eyes grew as she stared at Livia who was giving her a sinister smirk, "L-Livia!! How could you?!" She said as she coughed up more blood.

Chuckling, Livia said, " I think it's time to end the game here, sis. Don't worry, mom and Jenneth already knew of this. After all, we were the ones who plotted this." She said as she opened her fan, "Don't you think it's time for you to close your eyes? Impressive, this poison is specifically made for you to have a fast but painful death. I'm surprised you are still breathing," a smile creeped on her lips.

Catherine was indeed in pain and agony, her mind was starting to collapse, "Why are you doing this to me? I thought you we're different, " Breathing heavily, Catherine clenched her chest as she felt her heart being stabbed by a sharp object.

"Different? Oh right! Well, those are just fake feelings to be close to you. The reason why mom married your dad was all for the inheritance. Who would not want a powerful family supporting you? I admit, for all those years when dad was still alive we were jealous of you. But look how the tables have turned! Even if we don't have the color genes in your family, we can still have all that we want. We can have your inheritance by killing you," Livia paused for a moment before looking at the dying Catherine on the floor, "People like you are a disgrace to the society. How foolish of you to believe me, so it's better for you to die then later right? Any last words? "

Catherine who was on her last breath said, "If I have the chance to live again in this life time, then I swear if I ever see all of you I will shred you to pieces and burn you to hell!!" As she finally said her last words, Catherine stopped breathing and collapsed on her own pool of blood.

"Sorry sis but those things you said will never come true," Livia said as she stared coldly on the dead body of Catherine.

"Get someone to clean this mess. Also tell mom and Jenneth the job has been done," Livia said as she stood up and proceeded to walk away, "When news comes out tell them that this scumbag ran away and died," she added.

The maid bowed and proceeded to do her work.

"Catherine, you ungrateful brat. That's what you deserve," Livia thought as she walked back on her own courtyard.
