Betrayed by My own Sister, I won't Go Back to Her novel

The fake son of our family said I stole his watch, caused my sister became furious at me.
She immediately took me to court and went as far to hire the best lawyer to defend the guy. In the end, I was sentenced to three years for theft.
Before I went in, the lawyer advised my sister. You just need to scare him a little. If he really goes to jail, your brothers life will be ruined, you know?
However, my sister calmly said, Stealing is not a small matter. He must learn his lesson. As for his future, Ill take responsibility for that.
Three years later, when I was finally released, my sister approached with red eyes and reached out her hand to me. Now you understand your mistake, right? Come, lets go home.
But I stepped away from her without showing much reaction and ignored her welcoming hand.
Inside the prison, I had met a new sister.
And my new sister said she believed my story.

My sister Renata was shocked that I avoided her completely. She didnt withdraw her hand but reached out again instead. She quickly and firmly pulling me toward her.
Rein, why are you avoiding me? Did someone bully you in the prison? Her voice was rough, as if something was stuck in her throat.
I tried several times to pull my hand away, but failed. So I answered lightly, No.
She let out a breath of relief and held on tighter. Thats good. I read online that prison is a terrible place. As long as no one hurt you then
Looking at her relieved face and her reddening eyes, I laughed bitterly in silence.
Sister, werent you the one who tried every possible way to send me into jail? Why care now? Whats the point?
Renata forced a smile and pulled me toward the car all the while trying to please me. You always liked lively occasions, right? I prepared a welcome-back dinner for you. Come! lets go home.
I turned back to look at the prison one last time before leaving.
While I was jailed, I met a new sister. Her name was Rosetta Skylar. She had been falsely accused of financial fraud and still had one month left before release. We already agreed that I would pick her up then and wed live together.
As I was thinking of my late fathers belongings at home, I finally settled into my sisters car.
On our way home, Renata touched my newly shaved hair and spoke like she was warning me, Rein, you must never steal again. Let this be you first and last lesson.
I clenched my fingers at that.
For the past three years, I asked the guards many times to send her messages. I tried telling her that I never stole Leonhart's things. That fake son framed me.
Sadly, my own sister Renata never believed me.
So this time, I didnt even bother to explain and simply nodded obediently. I know, I said agreeing.
My sister smiled with satisfaction and drove me home.
As soon as the door opened colorful ribbons exploded into the air. The fake son Leonhart, whom I hadnt seen for three years, held a party popper and smiled brightly.
Brother, welcome home! He acted perfectly, as if overflowing with affection. It wasn't like the jealous face he had when he accused me of stealing.
I ignored him, brushing past his shoulder as I walked further inside home.
Leonhart's smile stiffened and he looked at my sister awkwardly for help. Why isnt he talking to me? Is he still mad at me?
My sister patted his head lovingly. Rein just got out, Leon. Hes just not used to this yet. Its not your fault.
***
I was already in my room, pulling open the drawer under the bed. Seeing my fathers old photos and his ring still there, I finally relaxed.
My sister stood at the door and called softly. Rein, come eat with us. You look so much thinner I can see your ribs.
I closed the drawer and followed her out.
During dinner, Leon chatted casually before looking at me with mischief.


Brother, what was prison like from the inside? I heard it was very messy. Is that true? Leonhart asked.
It wasnt messy. Every day I could read books and newspapers and after dinner I went back to my room, I replied.
Oh that sounds better than I imagined. Not as tough as I thought. As he said that, a small look of disappointment flashed in Leonharts eyes.
My sister peeled a shrimp for me and said with a gentle smile, Now that youre out, dont talk about that place anymore. Treat it as an experience and let it go.
Leonharts eyes darkened and he became quiet afterwards.
After a moment, he suddenly remembered something and ran to his bedroom. He came back holding a beautiful little box. Brother, this is a gift I prepared for you. Congratulations on getting out of prison!
I didnt take it. I just kept eating. But Leonhart didnt seem to mind and opened the box with a smile. Inside was a very expensive watch.
I only looked at it for one secondmy pupils tightened and my whole body felt cold, as if I had fallen into artic ice sea.
Leonhart pushed the watch toward me. His expression slowly twisted, becoming frightening.
Whats wrong, brother? Dont you like this watch the most? You liked it so much you even stole it. Now Im giving it to you. Arent you happy?
That watch was the gift my sister gave to Leonhart. And it was the reason I was sent to prison for three years.
After our father died on the battlefield, our mother took the compensation money and ran away. My sister and I depended only on each other.
She dropped out of high school and took many wrong paths before she finally succeeded in starting a business. When she earned money, she adopted Leonhart, who also lost his father and brought him home.
In the beginning, I disagreed, but my sister told me, Leon is in a poor state. Like us. You still have me, but he has no one. Be generous, Rein. Its just an extra bowl at the table.
Despite her words, she treated him better than me. It was like she wanted to raise a little brother all over again. Everything she didnt have time to give me, she gave to him.
Toys, watches, luxury thingswhatever Leonhart wanted, she bought it. In only two years, she spent tens of millions. That was the money she earned by working herself to exhaustion. Many nights she had to go to business dinners, drinking until she threw up, then continuing to drink again.
I felt sorry for Renata, really. I always told her to stop spending so much, but Leonhart hated me for that. That's when he hid the watch under my pillow, then cried to my sister and said I stole it.
My sister became furious and punished me by making me kneel in the rain and admit my mistake.
Our Dad would be ashamed to have a son like you! He lived as an honorable soldier and I have always lived honestly. Why are you acting like our mother, Rein? She stole and ran away with our family's money!
Have I ever let you go hungry? Have I ever not given you clothes? Why would you steal?
I got a high fever. I cried all night and said I didnt steal it, but she didnt believe me. The next day, my sister hired the best lawyer and took me to court.
Renata was my biological sister, but in court she stood on Leonharts side, speaking for him as his witness. In the end, I was sentenced to three years. Under the law, I became a thief.
Before I entered prison, our relatives and even the lawyer told my sister not to push the case that far. No matter what, I was her real brother. If I went to jail for three years, my life would be ruined.
Yet, my sister insisted. She didnt care if people distanced themselves from her. She still sent me to prison.
Rein wont be ruined by this. I work hard so I can support him. Even if his life is ruined, I can take care of him forever. But he stole something. He must learn a lesson!
During the three years, Renata visited me every month, always asking if I understood my mistake.
I never met her. I only asked the guard to deliver a message to her: [I never stole anything.]


Your sister doesnt believe you, said the prison guard each time my sister left the
Disappointment, again and again, slowly turned into despair. I felt like the whole world had abandoned me. My sister used to love me. Now even she was gone.
When I saw that watch again, I broke down. I flipped the box over. The watch fell to the floor with a loud bang. Leonhart froze in shock. My sisters face turned dark.
Leon gave you a gift out of kindness. He doesnt even blame you anymore. Why are you doing that?
I sat in the chair shaking all over, my face completely pale.
Renata then pulled me up. You think just because you came out of prison you can throw a tantrum? Pick up the watch and apologize to Leon!
Apologize? Why would I? I shoved my sister hard and ran out the house.
Outside, the cold wind cut into my skin. Hurt and anger twisted my heart tightly. I didnt want to go home at all. If it werent for getting my fathers belongings, I wouldnt have come back.
I never wanted to be wrongly accused again. I never wanted to suffer anything like that again.
My sister soon caught up and grabbed my wrist. Her brows were tightly drawn as she scolded me, Where are you going? Three years in prison and your temper still hasnt changed?
I couldnt hold it in anymore. I yanked my hand away, my eyes red.
Was he giving me that watch out of kindness or malice? Renata, cant you really see it? Im your real brother! You already sent me to prison once. What more do you want?
It was for your own good! Her voice turned cold. If you dare to steal, you must be punished. If not, you'll never learn to fix that bad habit? Should I just watch you make mistakes and let you walk down the wrong path?
Her words hit my heart like a hammer. Since I was young, when had I ever stolen anything? Why would I steal Leonharts watch? Why couldnt she think more carefully about this? Why wouldnt she believe me?
Tears fell. Three years of pain and hopelessness washed over me again. I gave up trying to explain once more.
Looking at my buzz-cut hair, she finally softened her tone, like she was admitting defeat. Rein, everything I do is for you. Yes, you were in prison for three years, but I already prepared a future for you.
My company will be yours one day. I only wanted to give you a small punishment. It doesnt really hurt anything. So, come home with me. Dont run around anymore.
She took my hand and pulled me back toward the house. I followed her with a numb feeling and I kept silent along the road.
When we opened the door, Leonhart looked surprised to see her bring me back. He didnt expect that after everything, she still wanted me home.
I felt exhausted. I went straight to my room and didnt come out.
Late at night, Leonhart quietly came into my room. I opened my eyes instantly, but he thought I was still asleep.
He touched my pillow, lifted it and hid something underneath. I didnt move or take it out.
He couldnt wait. I had just returned and he was already using the same trick. I wanted to see whether my sister would believe me this time.
The next morning, just as expected, he cried to my sister and said I stole his watch again.
Brother, if you like something, you can just tell me. I even gave you the watch yesterday, but you didnt want it. Why do you always have to steal?
My sisters face instantly get dark upon hearing that.


So you really can't change, huh?
My heart instantly dropped into the deepest dark. My sisters sharp accusation had cut the very last bit of our family ties between us.
I pulled the corner of my mouth in a bitter smile. Yeah I cant change.
Slap!
Before I finished speaking, my sister raised her hand and gave me a hard slap. Her eyes were full of anger and disappointment.
Why did I even have a brother like you?! she shouted.
I stayed silent for a moment. Then I covered my face and laughed coldly. I dont understand why I have a sister like you too.
You! Her hand was shaking as she pointed at me. She was too angry to talk.
Before she could hit me again, I dropped to my knees and bowed before her. Thank you for dropping out of school to take care of me. From now on you won't have me as your brother.
Then I stood up, pulled out Dads old things from under the bed and decided walked out of the house. Suddenly, she grabbed the photo and the ring from my hand with a cold expression.
These belonged to Dad. You have no right to take them!
Fine. I nodded in resignment and got ready to continue walking away.
Behind me, she shouted in a low, trembling voice, Youre a criminal! Without me, what can you even do? Starve on the streets?
I didnt stop walking. No need to worry about me.
After leaving home, I sat around the neighborhood all day. This time, my sister didnt come after me. It was clear that she must be completely disappointed tired of me.
I had no money, so I tried to find a job with food and a bed included. But once they heard the rumors I had been in prison, no company wanted me.
In the end, I went to a construction site.
The boss looked me up and down and frowned. You're so thin? Our work is pretty heavy. Can you even handle it?
I smiled carefully. Let me try, Sir. I may look thin, but Im strong.
The boss didnt believe me at first. But after I started working quickly, he saw what I can do and finally agreed for me to stay.
Food and bed included. One hundred a day. But the project is shortonly one month, he said.
I smiled. It was enough. One month later, Rosetta would get out of prison and I would have somewhere to go.
I worked at the construction site for more than twenty days. When Renata found me again, she almost didnt recognize me.
My hair had grown messy, like a birds nest. My clothes were covered in dust; every step made dirt fall off. She stood from afar, watching me. Her eyes slowly turned red.
After a long time, she ran over and grabbed my wrist.
What are you doing here? Rein, do you know how long Ive been looking for you? Come home with me. You cant do this kind of work!
I pulled my hand away, lifted a stack of bricks and pretended not to know her. She pressed her lips together, then turned and spoke to my boss.
After a while, my boss walked toward me with a dark expression.
Reinhart, why didnt you say you were in prison for stealing? We cant keep someone like that. Youre fired! You won't get your pay either. Leave now!
I panicked and begged him. Bos, I was framed! I never stole anything. Please let me stay!
That woman is your sister, right? Why would she lie about you? The boss cut me off with a mocking tone. We cant hire criminals. Now go!
My boss pushed me away with impatience. I easily stumbled backwards and almost fell to the ground. However, the pain never came...
Renata had caught me firmly from behind.


See? You cant survive anywhere. You must come back to me. A smug smile played on Renata's lips as she shoved a phone into my hands. Rein, were brother and sister. The path I arrange for you is the best one.
She reached out and touched my messy hair and soon her hand became covered with dust. She seemed happy when she grabbed my hand. Come on, go home with me. Dont disappear again.
I didnt move and that caused her to turn. Upon meeting my icy gaze, she got confused.
Renata, what do you want me to do so that you'll finally let me go? I asked.
Obviously, she didnt think she did anything wrong. Her smile disappeared. What do you mean, let you go? Havent I treated you well? Ive been looking for you for more than twenty days. I ignored my company! Do you know how much money I lost?
She didnt give me a chance to speak and just pulled my arm hard. Come home with me!
She pushed me into the car and took me back again.
On the way, she answered a call. The moment we reached home, she hurried to the company and told Leonhart not to let me run away.
As soon as she left, Leonharts face changed. She actually brought you back home again? Ah, so she still cares about you in the end?
I fought the urge to punch him and asked the question I had kept inside for years. Why did you frame me for stealing your watch? I treated you pretty well before, didnt I?
Leonhart let out a cold laugh. Malice was completely reflected in his eyes. Because you told her not to spend money on me. She already said her company will be yours someday. Nothing for me.
You have such a good sister taking care of you, yet you still didnt want her to spend money on me. Why should you get everything? he sneered.
I clenched my fists. Do you even know how she earns that money? She never went to college. People in the company look down on her. She has to work twice as hard to move up.
Those old businessmen force her to drink with them. She throws up and then has to keep drinking. Several times she even threw up blood!
And you? You always ask for millions like its nothing. I told her not to give you too much, whats wrong with that?
So what? he said, staring at his new shoes with no shame. Even if she drinks herself to death, her company still wont be mine. Only if you disappear can I get anything.
I stared at him in disbelief as chill running down my spine. I used to think he framed me because he wanted my sisters attention. But no! He only cared about money!
Youre really a heartless bastard, I said through my teeth and walked toward my room.
Behind me, Leonhart laughed again. I framed you once, I can do it a second time, a third time even! Just wait, Reinhart. Ill get you kicked out again without you noticing!
I stopped walking and looked back at him for a long moment. Then I turned off the voice recording on my phone.
No need. Ill leave this place on my own. I said. Afterward, I sent the voice recording to Renata.
I had learned from my mistakes and would not let Leonhart frame me again.
I had already turned on the recorder on my home with Renata earlier. Leonhart didnt realize that and maybe he thought I was just being angry. In the end, he laughed loudly as he returned back to his room.
My phone started buzzing soon after. Renata was messaging me again and again, the texts anxious and panicked. I glanced at them but didnt reply.
Instead, I took Dads belongings from under the bed, put them in my pocket and left the house again.
Rosetta would be released from prison soon. I needed to pick her up.
