A Cue For Happiness Chapter 1

Vehement Hatred

“Ugh…”The moment Natalie Nichols woke up, she felt her body hurting as though it was fallingapart.She was stark naked beneath the covers, her pale skin littered with hickeys. There were so manythat she could not bear to even look at them.What’s this?Suddenly, a memory of a steamy scene fromthe previous night flashed in front of her eyes.She had entered the room in a semi-conscious state andwas ravished by a stranger for the entire night.

The man had paid no heed to her cries and pleas as he claimed her as his own.Natalie put on herclothes and got out of the bed with wobbly legs, determined to replace the b*stard that took away hervirginity.However, the man was nowhere in sight. The only thing she found was a silver cross earringon the bed.Was it left by that man?Natalie pocketed the earring and was preparing to leave the suitewhen the door was kicked open from the outside.Thomas Nichols, who was nearly fifty, stormed in,followed by Natalie’s twin sister, Yara.“Dad, Yara…” Natalie paled instantaneously.“You didn’t return allnight, and we thought that something happened to you. Who knew that you would be fooling aroundwith a man in a hotel!” Thomas pointed his finger at his daughter as he berated loudly.Yara, on theother hand, whined, “You really went too far this time, Natalie! Dad, Aunt Yvonne, and I almost wentcrazy looking for you!”Natalie shook her head vigorously.“N-No, I didn’t.”“Have you no shame? Seethose marks on your neck and limbs? And you still dare to say that you didn’t?”“I-I was set up bysomeone, Dad. I also have no idea how this happened.”Seeing that Natalie was still defending herself,Thomas grabbed the ashtray beside him and threw it toward her.Thud!Before she could react, she hadanother wound on her forehead. Blood began seeping out of it continuously, trickling down her face.“Ihave just agreed to your marriage with Mr. Quinn, Natalie, and now look what you’ve done! Now thatyou’re unchaste, how am I supposed to explain this to him?”Natalie widened her eyes in disbelief.“Jacob Quinn is nearly sixty, and all three of his previous wives are dead. And yet, you still want me tomarry him?”“What’s wrong with that? You should be honored to be able to marry him.” Thomas heldonto Yara’s arm with a look of disappointment. “Fortunately, you and Yara are only similar in looks and

not in terms of moral conduct. Your behavior has brought shame to our entire family!”Yara side-eyedher sister contemptuously. “Don’t forget that she grew up in the countryside, Dad!”Faced with Thomas’cold glare and Yara’s indifference, Natalie could not help but exclaim internally.Look! This is the attitudeof my own father and sister!Not only was Natalie’s forehead bleeding, but so was her heart.Ten monthslater, alongside the cries of infants, Natalie successfully gave birth to two children in her apartment onthe outskirts of the city.As Yara scooped up the babies, who were still covered in blood, she glaredviciously at her sister lying in bed, weakened by childbirth.“G-Give them back… to me…” Despite thedeathlike pallor of her face, Natalie still tried her best to get up.“Give them back? Can you provide forthem?” Yara taunted.“I-I am your sister… Your biological sister!” Natalie stared intensely at the girl wholooked exactly like her. “Why… Why are you doing this to me?”“That woman is your mother, not mine!Back then, she chose you and left me to fend for myself in that house full of wolves. Where were youduring those years of sufferings?”Yara’s smile sent shivers down Natalie’s spine.“The world only needsone person with this face, and that person is me!”“What are you trying to do?”“I’ll burn you todeath!”Yara poured the gasoline she had prepared beforehand all around the room. She then lit thelighter and threw it on the ground before leaving with the twins.Within seconds, the fire began to spreadrapidly throughout the apartment.Walking out of the building, Yara looked back at the sea of flames andthen glanced at the newborns in her arms.Ten months ago, she had bumped into Samuel Bowers’subordinate when she went back to the hotel to destroy all evidence of framing her sister.Only then didshe realize that the man that Natalie slept with that night was not the ruffian she had hired but Samuelhimself, a prominent figure in Dellmoor.Surprised, Yara quickly came to a decision. She was going totrick Samuel into thinking that she was the girl from that night.After all, she and Natalie were identicaltwins. As long as her sister disappeared from the face of the earth, no one would know her secret.Asfor the twins, they’ll be beneficial in enabling me to get close to Samuel in the future.“Why are youcrying? If you two weren’t Samuel’s children, I would’ve left you there too.” After a short pause, shecontinued, “However, with your support, it won’t be long before I marry into the Bowersfamily.”Unbeknownst to Yara, who was still deeply immersed in her imaginary world, Natalie had usedall her strength in escaping through the window before the room was set ablaze.As she trudged away

from the building, she suddenly felt a familiar sharp pain coming from the lower part of her body,followed by soft cries.So I didn’t just give birth to twins…With trembling hands, Natalie lifted her thirdand fourth child.For them, I’ll endure all hardships.She gritted her teeth as her eyes glinted withvehement hatred.“I will take back everything that you’ve stolen someday…”
