Chapter 1055


    Heather stood still for a moment without a word, probably shocked at what her sister had just said.


    ‘She should have repented and asked for my forgiveness in tears, but she told me she wanted to be


    herself instead!’


    "Do you have any idea what you''re saying? Have you gone insane?" Heather said despite herself.


    “I''m not crazy. I know what I''m saying better than at any point in my life.” Hannah slowly got to her feet


    and realized she was slightly taller than Heather.


    Although the difference was slight, it showed they were not the same.'' How can two different people


    be one?’


    "Heather, I obeyed you and did whatever you wanted me to all these years, but that''s it for me. Can''t I


    be myself? How can you enjoy your life while I can''t even be myself in public? Heather, I just want


    people to know that there’s someone named Hannah in the Riggs family and that we''re sisters!”


    She tried to hold Heather''s hand, but as she was about to touch Heather''s hand, Heather jerked away


    as if getting burned.


    "You''re out of your mind!"


    "I’m not, Heather! Please. We''re sisters. Can you let me be myself? I can still help you by being myself


    and not your impostor.”


    Hannah softened her voice and pleaded.


    She had thought about it while staring at the distorted ring the whole day and night. Even if Ralph might


    reject her, she wanted to meet him as herself because she felt tormented being unable to tell him the

    truth.


    "Shut up!” Heather pped Hannah''s face, which soon became swollen.


    "Have you forgotten about the curse on our family? Have you forgotten that there can be only one child


    in the Riggs family? Be yourself, huh? Fine.


    Then be a dead one!" Heather grabbed a paring knife from the coffee table and tossed it over.


    Itnded with a ng on the floor before Hannah, and she quieted down. Palming her swollen cheek,


    she felt the blood in her mouth as she stared at the glinting knife. Her mind went nk.


    All she could hear was Heather''s icy voice. ‘The outsiders have always thought the Riggs family is


    small because there are few offspring. They are unaware of the horrible curse that only one child could


    exist in our family. Even if we were to give birth to three or seven, or eight children, all would end up


    dead except one.


    "Have you forgotten about mom? She isn''t the only child. Her siblings were the cream of the crop but in


    the end? She''s the only one left! Grandma did not have the heart to decide who to live and die, and


    things ended up the same.


    "If she did, she wouldn''t have let our useless mom live, and the Riggs family wouldn''t be in such bad


    shape. Nobody would push us around like they do now!" Heather''s words echoed in Hannah''s ears and


    mind.


    She knew more than anyone about these incidents. Having heard about it since she was young,


    Hannah had lived in fear because she knew that either she or Heather could live. Otherwise, the family


    believed they would face a terrible disaster.


    Hannah had no idea why there was such a ridiculous curse, and she did not believe it. However, it was


    clear that everyone else did.


    Even her parents had tried to kill her because Heather was stronger and more suitable as the heir of


    the Riggs family. Therefore,


    Hannah had lost the right to live.
