In my past life, I had been in love with my foster brother, Leopold Kensington, for years, clinging to him until he could bear it no longer.
After the accident, he mistakenly believed I had amnesia. In order to rid himself of my persistent attachment, he deliberately claimed Evander was my boyfriend.
In fact, when I first woke up after the accident, I had indeed experienced some temporary memory loss.
But I quickly regained my senses.
I didn't think much of Leopold Kensington's teasing.
Instead, I stubbornly exposed his lie on the spot, just to prove that I hadn't lost my memory.
I carefully tugged on Leopold Kensington's sleeve, my eyes brimming with tears.
"Leopold, I haven't lost my memory. I'm not lying."
Leopold Kensington had no way to deal with me. With a stiff face, he pulled me into his arms.
Just like the times over the past five years when I cried, he always held me like this.
"I'm sorry, Larissa. I made a mistake."
I felt my heart flutter with joy and quickly pushed that awkward moment aside.
I clung to Leopold Kensington like usual.
Since I was sixteen, I had realized I felt something unusual for my foster brother.
Every time he started dating, I would intentionally sabotage his relationships.
The books I read said it was possessiveness at work.
I couldn't really argue with that.
Leopold also tacitly allowed my various outrageous actions.
Several times, when dealing with his girlfriends, he had secretly intervened behind the scenes. He indulged me in my reckless behavior and let me cling to him desperately. I would get drunk and cling to Leopold Kensington, demanding kisses.
He never pushed me away. Instead, he stiffened his body and allowed me to take what I wanted. At the time, I naively thought Leopold Kensington liked me too.
But I overlooked one crucial thing: he had never openly admitted his feelings for me.
I kissed Leopold Kensington for a long time until he suddenly snapped out of it, disgustedly ordering me to get off him. Leopold Kensington touched his swollen lips and smirked knowingly.
"Larissa, how could you like your own brother? That's so twisted!" I snapped awake, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over my head.
Every bone and muscle in my body felt frozen, a painful rigidity taking hold.
"I didn't, I never did," I protested, my voice growing quieter. My tone rose unexpectedly in a sharp, defensive question.
"You never liked me, hmm?" The disgust in his eyes felt like a knife scraping at my heart. I couldn't answer.
Deep down, I had liked Leopold Kensington. I was an orphan, and he was the only one who had ever treated me well.
How could I not like him?
It seemed like Leopold had discovered my secret, and his disgust grew even more intense.
"Someone like you is better off locked up in a mental institution, getting the help you need."
