Sarah lazily walked with tired steps down the wide hallway of the Uchiha mansion. Leaving behind the rushing crowd, whispering about the girl who had just put on her shoes, she silently, like an invisible person, headed to the hall to return home, there was no reason for her to be there. one more minute. Sarah no longer felt regret in her heart. She has done her duty to bring Hinata, that's enough, even though it's heartbreaking, Sarah is clear, Hinata is right, her mother is responsible for Liam's behavior and she can't do anything but accept it and receive the punishment of the law for his mother. Everything will be fine, no one has the right to complain when Sarah makes that decision, she understands that even if Hinata helps, her mother's jail time is inevitable, and now Sarah only thinks about good things that are about to happen. out. Starting tomorrow, she will definitely live a different life, as a new person, so as not to disappoint Hinata by giving her a chance.
Letting out a sigh as if she were letting go of her useless shell, Sarah held her head high, straightened her back, and walked proudly to the door.
Sarah passed a couple of lovers kissing, right on the stairs leading upstairs, Queen Cleopatra was so infatuated with her lover, that she had to quickly look away. For some reason, that scene made the mask on her face seem heavier. The feeling of restlessness and agitation suddenly rolled over her intestines. Sarah remembers that night when she gave Zane her first kiss. The bridge of her nose was stinging, and the corners of her eyes were about to overflow with two tears, she brushed them away.
As she walked she thought to herself, At the corner, without noticing, she suddenly bumped into a maid who was bringing tea up to Zane's parents' room.
The pot of hot tea fell to the floor, shattered into many pieces, water running all over the floor.
A 'bang' made the couple startle each other and let go. Turning his gaze to Sarah.
The unexpected situation made both of them a little confused. Both she and the other looked down at the mess on the floor.
"So sorry." She spoke up even though she didn't mean to make a mistake, Sarah guessed Hinata would do the same if the same thing happened to her. If it had been before, Sarah would have made a fuss, perhaps even rudely scolding the other, but everything had changed since she was tamed.
After sitting down to help the girl pick up the pieces, she continued towards the door.
Queen Cleopatra tried to look at the two girls who were struggling to sit down to deal with their carelessness and suddenly thought that the girl with the pink hair was like Sarah. She stared at Sarah's back as if searching for something familiar. It's true that the hair color is the same and the body is the same. But again, Cleopatra understood that it was easy for her to get the wrong person, there were dozens of people who looked very similar.
But when she saw the tall figure with slim shoulders and lithe hips, as Sarah stood up and strode away, she could tell with certainty that this person was her sister only if Sarah lazily took off her mask. revealing a part of her beautiful, delicate face.
Hana's eyes narrowed and she quickly ran after her.
"Sarah?" Queen Cleopatra called, still not taking her eyes off her, and strode as fast as she could to catch up.
The voice sounded a little familiar as if Sarah had heard it many times, almost often. But Sarah still didn't mind and continued walking.
Almost out of breath, Hana caught up with her sister and she quickly reached out and grabbed Sarah's arm to pull her back. Startled, the Mask in Sarah's hand fell to the floor.
“Really…” Sarah began and bent over the mask. But through the strands of hair that fell across her face, she looked up and realized that Hana was staring at her, seeing her sister's mouth gaping open in surprise. A friendly smile that had not yet bloomed disappeared from his lips.
Hana? Thankfully Sarah didn't utter her sister's name.
Hana, dressed as Queen Cleopatra, is drunk with the boy she's just met tonight, With her red hair falling to her shoulders. Looks arrogant. Blue eyes, sister Sarah looks like a real queen stepping out of hieroglyphic stone tablets or traveling through time.
Regaining her spirits, she immediately dispelled her flustered expression.
"What are you doing here?" Sarah didn't realize the volume she was making was louder than she herself allowed.
"Can't you see? Join the party, of course." Hana replied proudly of herself, her makeup was too perfect, and she looked at her sister, who looked modest and did not stand out at all.
Something is not right! The haughty Hana immediately turned into distrust.
"And why am I here?" Hana immediately questioned, "Aren't you with Zane?"
Hana looked at Sarah with an incredulous expression. Everyone is excited about the shoe test, Hana is also ambitious to try her luck but can't, hope for Sarah, Hana has nothing to worry about when she is sure that Cinderella is her sister, she does not know anything about Sarah lied to not only Zane but also herself and her mother, Hana doesn't even know that Zane has unmasked Sarah, while shoe testing is coming to an end, Hana is caught by a new boyfriend pulled into the house, unexpectedly caught Sarah with the intention of returning home, Hana still did not know what was going on outside, Hana still thought her sister was the main character who would accept a marriage proposal from the emperor. death, so seeing Sarah here instead of out there under the cheers and shouts of everyone, Hana was really shocked.
Sarah was confused, swallowed hard, not knowing how to respond to Hana, her arched brows furrowed, her sister staring at her.
"Are you and Zane arguing?"
"Not." Sarah shook her head.
"So what happened? Why did he leave me alone?"
Sarah's heart pounded in her chest and she felt herself trembling from within.
"Sarah." The sister asked again. Sarah just stared, trying to control the urge to run as her heart pounded harder and the mask was left on the aisle.
Hana could feel her shock. Her lips didn't close and her eyes told Hana that she felt cornered and that she would definitely continue to run away.
"Sarah, where are you going?"
Unable to hold back her frustration, Hana immediately asked, wanting to know what Sarah's appearance was in haste to leave here?
A few strands of hair were still stuck to her lips. Sarah's breath made those hairs flutter. Not knowing what to say, Sarah pretended to be distracted. Then she bent down to pick up the mask. Hana also bent down to pick it up. She snatched the mask from her sister's hand and turned her head away from the impending interrogations.
"Go home." She replied curtly and hurried to the door. Very close, only a few meters from Sarah to get out of here, the house doesn't suit me.
"Sarah wait."
"Leave me alone." She shrugs, trying not to look like she's on the run, she walks quickly.
"You told me to stop, didn't you?"
She was still walking very fast, Hana walked behind her, a few steps away.
"Why did you leave?"
"That sucks! What does that have to do with you?"
"For God's sake, please stop."
"I have nothing to say to you. Leave me alone."
Hana stepped up to her level, walking at the same pace.
"I'm talking to you, why did you run away when you heard me call? Also what is this, don't stop wanting to go home, shouldn't you be with Zane?"
But she walked fast and her pink hair fluttered around her proud neck. She refused to stop forcing her sister to hold her hand again.
"I'm tired of playing patient games with you, stop it now."
This time the mask rested firmly in Sarah's hand, and she jerked her head stubbornly like a one-year-old pony that won't take the reins. She stood there staring at her sister while Hana still held her arm. Then in the end it seemed that Hana thought her sister wouldn't run away anymore, so she let go of Sarah's hand.
The guy standing at the top of the stairs looked at them with curious eyes, and Hana was starting to lose patience with her stubbornness and disobedience.
"Sarah, don't be stubborn. Do you know our family's difficult situation right now, no matter what, you mustn't upset Zane, we are in need of help, let's do it for mom, because family, go back and reconcile with Zane?"
Instead of answering her sister's conjecture, Sarah scolded herself:
This is something she didn't expect, didn't expect to meet her sister here, she didn't tell Hana about this party, damn it, how the hell did Hana know to come here, but who said hello? pick up Hana without an invitation? Sarah appreciated her sister's bravery, but in this situation she cursed it. If she knew in advance that Hana would come, she would definitely find a way to stop it. But it's still time if she drags my sister out of here with me.
The exit is in front of both.
"What the hell are you thinking? Zane and I are fine, he's got some work to do so he can't take me home, and I don't want to cause trouble for someone who's busy with other things. ."
"So have you talked to your mother yet?"
Hana changed the subject, although Sarah's explanation was not convincing at all, that was not what Hana cared about, her sister was just anxious to know if she mentioned asking Zane or not.
Sarah lied without blinking, her voice firm, although Sarah did not intend to hide it from Hana, instincts are hard to change.
"Of course! and Zane is having a headache about it. We'd better not bother and wait patiently for good news from him."
"Really?" Hana exclaimed, that's good news tonight.
"It's true! I told Zane and he promised to help us. Now I need to go home and tell my mom the good news, The party's over! you should come with me too."
Right after that, something strange tells Hana that she can't trust her sister, but Hana can't stand there holding Sarah forever. All Hana can do now is find Zane to confirm Sarah's words.
"You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"Lie." Sarah exclaimed indignantly at being falsely accused: "Lie about what? I..." Sarah stammered, suddenly she couldn't think of any other reason.
Suddenly, the noise from outside came through the open back door, attracting the two's attention.
"Agree! Agree."
The crowd cheered and urged Hinata to accept Zane's proposal.
Sarah turned to look at Hana in horror, her sister clearly showed a puzzled look on her face, had to get out of here quickly, Sarah urged herself but didn't have time to act, Hana was faster, asked her.
"What happened out there?"
"Hana! Where are you going?" Sarah reached out and grabbed Hana's arm as her sister slipped past her to step outside.
"Of course, let's see what Zane is up to, by the way, ask Zane to ask him to help with her mother's business."
Sarah spoke gently with a soft southern accent.
"Hana! Listen, Zane is busy right now, really. But I'll talk to him tomorrow. We'll talk about it then."
Her sister did not listen, still insisted on going out.
"Hana."
"Why let tomorrow, my mother's situation is hanging by a thousand pounds, I'm afraid it won't be late."
Hana said and then brushed Sarah's hand who was speechless.
"No! Hana listen to me."
Hana took a few steps before Sarah woke up to chase.
Hana just walked to the door, extremely surprised and angry.
"What the hell is going on with Sarah?" Anger flared up from Hana - her older sister: "He can't do that, what the hell is Zane doing? Who is the girl he's kneeling to propose to? Cinderella isn't you? ?"
"You've seen it," Sarah said sadly.
"Looks like it's a bit serious, doesn't it?" Hana grimaced sarcastically.
"A little bit," Sarah repeated bitterly.
"Sarah, that's enough." Hana suddenly snapped, "This isn't a joke. Don't pretend like that in front of me. What happened between you and him anyway?"
"Um, Hana, ..." Sarah paused, frowning slightly in confusion: "Things are not what you think." She slowly admitted.
"He dumped me? For what reason? Because of my mother's business?" Hana turned around and asked.
Sarah stammered not knowing what to say to explain everything to Hana, it took time to finish hearing what she said, but understanding took more time.
"Don't say Just because he saw our family in trouble, does he think I'm a burden?" Her eyes sparkled with fire, and Hana made Sarah feel embarrassed: "He can't do that! I'm sure there's a law that says he can't break up with you for that damn reason." Hana continued, extremely indignant when she learned that her sister was being bullied.
"Hana! I'm begging you, things aren't going the way you think, me and Zane..." Sarah's voice was steady, her hands clutching at the hem of her skirt in confusion. She looked at her sister bitterly: "Hana, it's really okay." She tiredly begged when she saw her sister still angry: "Anyway, I can't stay with him anymore, when I cheated and lied to him."
Hana scowled at her, making her so dumbfounded that she didn't know if she was seeing her sister's face or the queen's dress right in front of her. She stared at Hana's dress before returning to consciousness, Sarah grabbed Hana's hand to pull her away, avoiding something embarrassing that Hana was about to do. Given Hana's nature, Sarah knew her sister wouldn't let this go easily. But again her actions were slower than Hana's, her older sister keeping her tone steady but defiant.
“Are you going to ignore this and walk away as if nothing happened?”
Before the question, not before the instigation. Her panicked gaze returned to Hana's.
"Hana, please don't do something stupid."
Hana's gaze remained steadfast as if her sister's intentions were unshaken.
"It's all my fault, I'll explain everything to you, so we'll find somewhere quiet to talk." Sarah hastily said, imploring and pulling Hana's hand to leave.
Hana didn't move even a bit, despite Sarah's full strength to drag her away.
"I will get justice for you." When Hana finished speaking, Sarah turned to look at her sister in shock, a smile appeared on Hana's face showing that she would not forgive Zane for daring to hurt her sister.
Sarah shook her head, startled, clutching her sister's hand tighter, she was afraid that if she let go, Hana would rush out and make a fuss, then Zane would never forgive her.
Not easily persuaded by her, Hana decisively brushed Sarah's hand. In a tone filled with exploding indignation, Hana screamed, drawing everyone's attention, and disrupting the moment Hinata gave her answer.
"I find you too powerful, I wonder how you can seduce Zane, and make him fall in love?"
A voice from outside the door interrupted everyone's concentration. A beautiful queen entered, and behind a beautiful lady hurrying after the queen, Sarah with great urgency wanted to dissuade her sister. Even though she was in a hurry, Sarah did not forget to put on a mask before entering the center to stop Hana.
What is this?
Hana's words caused many people to whisper, their eyes occasionally looking up at Hinata and Zane. Just in time when the two girls show up, they really want to know what happens next.
