Chapter 55 Hana's Determination and Actions

Hana’s Determination and Actions

I, Hana Kuroda, was furious.

Just a moment ago, I imagined myself and my brother-in-law Makoto-kun enjoying dinner together.

But now my mood is completely ruined.

The reason is simple: my older sister, Rina, has come to Makoto-kun’s room.

It’s obvious why she’s here. She must be trying to get back together with Makoto-kun.

She’s so selfish. She betrayed Makoto-kun, and now she’s trying to get close to him again as if nothing happened. It’s unbelievable.

“Makoto-kun… I’m sorry for what she did.”

I apologize on behalf of my sister.

Even though we’re not family anymore, she was still my sister.

I felt sorry and apologized to him, even though it was humiliating.

But he just smiled and didn’t get angry.

“Haha, it’s okay. It’s not Hana-chan’s fault. I’m the one who should have rejected her more firmly.”

“That’s not true—”

“I should be the one to apologize. I just wanted to have a fun dinner with Hana-chan. But if you don’t mind, let’s do it now.”

“I-Is it okay…?”

“Of course.”

His smile made me feel better, and I was actually a little surprised.

Ah, I really love him.

I fell in love with him at first sight because of his smile.

Of course, I love his looks too, but his smile always makes my heart flutter.

When my sister, Rina, introduced her boyfriend to our family, we were all very surprised.

That’s because my quiet sister, who had never been rumored to be close to a man, brought home such a nice and handsome guy.

They seemed like an odd couple, but he said, “I fell in love with her inner self,” and I even thought he was too good for her.

“I don’t have any siblings, so I’m happy to have a little sister. Nice to meet you, Hana-chan.”

That was the first thing he said to me.

I wanted an older brother too, and I never thought I’d have such a handsome one.

My parents liked him a lot, and he and my sister got married soon after they met.

I had fallen in love with him, but I was happy for them.

But maybe that was a mistake.

At first, he seemed very happy, and he always told us lovey-dovey stories.

But then I noticed that he wasn’t smiling as much.

When I asked him what was wrong, he just smiled and said, “Nothing,” but it was a sad smile.

One day, after seeing that kind of smile several times, I visited his house and noticed that his sad smile had become even more painful.

A sad smile as if he was going to die at any moment.

When I saw that, I couldn’t help but lose my patience, so I confronted him.

“Did something happen between you and Nee-san?”

He hesitated to answer.

I knew immediately that my sister had done something.

A nice person like him wouldn’t look so sad unless something really serious had happened.

So I decided to find out what had happened.

After I came to that conclusion, I got the whole story from him.

“…I can’t forgive her.”

When I heard what my sister had done to him, I became more angry than ever. Just the thought of her betraying such a kind and devoted man made me want to kill her.

But I knew that hurting my sister would make him sad, too.

Most importantly, I couldn’t hurt my sister for him.

So I decided to take revenge without physically hurting her.

I suggested that he ignore my sister.

I thought that my sister, who is actually quite shy and weak, would feel guilty if she was treated that way.

But I wasn’t satisfied with that.

In the midst of all this, a voice whispered in my head.

“Why don’t you just break them up? Then when he’s alone, you can gently comfort him and make him yours.”

Even though it was my own voice, I couldn’t help but cringe at the thought.

But it was enough of a temptation to convince me.

Yes, I could make Makoto-kun happy. I could love him forever, unlike my selfish sister.

So I decided to break them up.

First, I thought I would take pictures of her cheating on him with the senior she likes.

I couldn’t take pictures of them while they were doing it, but I could take pictures of them coming out of the hotel.

Thinking that, I followed my sister to make it happen, but I reached my limit of anger there.

Not only is she showing the same smile to another guy that she used to show only to Makoto-kun, but she’s also holding hands with him, looking lovey-dovey.

Just watching this scene, my patience reached its limit.

“…What are you doing?”

My sister, who I called out to, turned pale with embarrassment in a truly hilarious way.

Ah, I can’t trust Makoto-kun to someone like her.

Someone like her can’t make Makoto-kun happy.

So without hesitation, I told my parents what my sister had done to him and that she was cheating on him.

Of course, my parents were angry and agreed with my idea of getting a divorce.

Even though he doesn’t want a divorce, I have to convince him somehow.

I can’t bear to see him hurt anymore, and it’s not good for him either.

So I vowed to do everything I could to help him get a divorce, and as a result, I successfully divorced him and my sister.

After that, I would comfort him gently.

“I thought so, but I never thought that she would try to contact him again without any remorse.”

This is absolutely unforgivable.

I will protect him; I won’t let my sister have him.

So I decided to take action again.
