You're The Best Medicine For Me
Chapter 1: If I’m Not Dead, I’ll be Your Nightmare

Inside the grand presidential suite of a cruise ship, two people were sleeping while cuddling to each other on a huge bed. The man was soundly asleep. The woman had delicate facial features and she was sleeping in the man's arms quietly. Her collarbones and shoulder were branded with signs that showed both of them had had aggressive love making last night. Her wrinkled eyebrows showed that she was not in a peaceful state.

Just then, the door was opened. The woman on the bed instantly opened her eyes. A bunch of people swarmed in from the outside and the woman who was leading them had an exact same looks as hers. Her long black hair was cascading behind her back. She was wearing a knee-length beige dress, which was revealing at the waist and back in a sexy manner, and a pair of high heels.

She was indeed pretty, yet her evil look made her appeared ferocious. Seeing her, the woman on the bed quickly sat up and looked at her in confusion. "Sabina, where am I? What...what are you doing here?" The strong dizziness that rushed into her head made her hard to recall what had happened exactly. Her name was Shirley Thomas, and the woman who was standing before her and looking aggressive was her twin sister, Sabina Thomas.

Sabina was staring at the marks on her body with a fierce look and she ordered hatefully, "Why are you still standing here? Take that bitch out." The bodyguards clad in black suits behind her quickly walked towards Shirley and seized her arms. They dragged her down the bed rudely and to the corridor outside. Shirley was unable to react yet before Sabina walked out and gave a hard kick straight onto her chest. Shirley exclaimed and she flew to the back. She crashed onto the wall and could feel an excruciating pain on her chest. She was then held down by the two bodyguards hard onto the floor. Her face contorted in agony and looked at her elder sister in disbelief. She spitted blood and asked with her voice trembled, "Why...are you doing this?" Sabina crossed her arms before her chest and sneered. "You shameless and foolish woman. Have you not figured out yet?"

Shirley was finally able to recall what happened last night. It was her elder sister who kept on promising to protect her, that handed her a glass of wine and sent her into a strange man's room. As for what happened next... She instantly widened her eyes. "You... tricked me, and let someone rape me?" The man was torturing her like crazy last night to satisfy his immense libido. That kind of pain was almost imprinted in her and she would shiver whenever she remembered that.

"Sabina, we're sisters, and even twins. How could you..." How could you harm me? "Shut up." Without letting her finished, Sabina walked forward and continued, "Twins? Let me tell you, not only that I've never acknowledged you as my sister, mom and dad never acknowledge a jinx like you too. The reason mom and dad abandoned you at grandma's house is because the fortune-teller said you're a nemesis towards them and you'll affect our health and the luck of the company!"

"That's not true! You're lying! Let me go, I want to ask mom and dad!" Shirley struggled with a miserable look. What century is this now? How could she believe the reason she grew up with her grandma since young was because of this? Not to mention her grandma had used to tell her that her parents truly loved her...

Sabina only let out a cruel and evil smile. She strangled her and said, "You won't see mom and dad anymore."

"The man who slept you last night was Bryan Moore, the son of the Moore family, and he's also the guy in mask who you accidentally saved in the masquerade six months ago. I knew you're different to him, therefore I asked mom and dad to take you back and treat you nicely, just to let you approach him for my benefit!"

"Now that mom and dad have handed my personal information to the Moore family, I'll replace you from today onwards, and you must disappear." After finished, she raised the knife and cut Shirley's face without any hesitant.

"No!" Shirley shrilled in agony but the bodyguards covered her mouth. Red blood flowed down her face onto her neck, yet Sabina let out a creepy laughter and she acted even crueler. She stabbed the knife onto her face one after the next until Shirley's face which was the exact copy of hers became all bloody and was completely ruined. She then only tossed the bloody knife away and twitched her lips. "Tie this foolish woman up and throw her into the sea to feed the sharks!"

"From now on, I'll be her, I'll definitely be the daughter-in-law of the Moore family, the woman whom everyone's envious and jealous of!" As Shirley's consciousness gradually drained away, she could hear Sabina's complacent declaration. Hatred finally sprouted inside her who had always been enduring and giving in!

It turned out the kinship she thought existed was only a joke. She was the only one who played her role as the good daughter and sister.

Her parents said the reason they left her in the village was to train her.

Her elder sister said the reason she forbade her to go outside was to protect her.

They claimed that the guy she fell in love with in the masquerade was just a gangster...

They were all lies! The care and warmth they gave her were fake, and only betrayal and harm were true! She was brimmed with grievance, yet she was on the edge of dying and she could not resist. She could only let the bodyguards tie her limbs up and throw her into the sea like garbage. Sabina finally let her go. She stood up and took a step backward. "Tie her up, and let her sink into the sea."

She heard a loud splash as she crashed into the water. The blood blurred her vision and the icy, astringent seawater flooded into her ears, nose and mouth and over her head, gradually shutting down her senses and forcing her into darkness. The gunny bag that was tied to a heavy load slowly sank into the sea and was nowhere to be seen shortly.

Before she completely lost her consciousness, she swore in despair---If I, Shirley Thomas, is lucky enough to escape death, I shall never give in even for a bit for things that belong to me! And I won't let those who have harmed me live a peaceful and serene life!
