Gone Family, Leftover Boyfriend

The yacht that my parents and my younger sister, Amanda Portman, were on exploded in the middle of the sea. None of them survived.

Despair and heartbreak fill my senses when I'm faced with an empty home and an astronomical debt. Just as I'm about to jump off a rooftop, I see comments appearing before my eyes all of a sudden.

"The truth is, your parents have won a jackpot of 300 million dollars. They've taken Amanda on an overseas trip for some fun!"

"Heheh! Amanda doesn't even know that the so-called poor and blind boyfriend, whom she's just broken up with, is the heir of the Wright family. He's just pretending to be poor around her."

"Once Amanda comes home after spending all of her money, she will get imprisoned by the enraged Mr. Wright as a form of punishment."

"Hey, cannon fodder! Hurry up and die already! I can't wait for Amanda to make her glorious return!"

It's at that moment I decide not to die.

That night, I barge into Xavier Wright's rented apartment while completely drunk and drenched.

I woke up aching all over just as the first light of dawn seeped through the window. I turned around, and Xavier Wright opened his eyes at the same time. He was blind. A car accident six months ago had taken his sight.

My sister, Amanda Portman, had broken up with him countless times, complaining that he was poor and disabled. Those beautiful eyes of his never seemed to focus on anything before, and he was always staring emptily into nothing.

The comments flooded the screen.

"Wait, what? The doomed one didn't die and is now in bed with Xavier?"

"Are you kidding me? She can't be trying to pretend to be Mandy. Xavier's eyes have been fine for ages. If she lies to him, she's doomed!"

He could see all along.

I bit my lip, struggling to steady my racing heart.

"I'm not…" I said helplessly. "I'm her sister, Claire Portman. My sister passed away. Yesterday, I meant to bring you some of her things, but I drank too much. I can't remember anything after that."

I cast a glance at the crumpled clothes scattered on the floor and quickly looked away. "Did you mistake me for Mandy yesterday? I'm sorry for drinking. I was just so sad… Now, it's only me left."

Tears silently slid down my cheeks.

The comments kept flooding in.

"Come on, she's making excuses for Xavier. He's not blind—he reacted immediately when she fell into his arms soaking wet."

"No man could resist a beautiful woman clinging to him like that. She's definitely plotting something."

My body trembled slightly. The thin blanket slipped off my shoulders, revealing red marks across my pale skin.

Xavier's Adam's apple moved as he swallowed. After a
