Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Upstairs, Colby and Sophie headed down the stairs, hand in hand.

As they reached the bottom, Adler couldn't resist a playful jab, "Well, look who finally decided to roll out of bed!"

In response, Colby tossed an apple towards Adler with a smirk.

Adler caught it and wiped it on his shirt, "Hey, don't waste food like that!"

Sophie noticed that Julian, Booker, Elodie, and Griffin were all present. She approached with a smile, "Wow, it's not often we get everyone together like this."

Odie chimed in, "Thanks to you, we're all on the same team now."

Jenna frowned, "Hey, speak for yourself! We chose to be here."

"Oh yeah? So what if I don't say it right?"All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"You...!"

Just as Jenna and Odie seemed ready to spar, Sandy carefully made her way down from upstairs, bringing a hush over the room.

Sophie turned to see Sandy looking genuinely remorseful, "Sophie, I'm really sorry... I had no clue my brother would pull something like that."

Sophie replied, "I had a feeling your brother was trouble. Keeping him around was on me, not you. No need to apologize."

Sandy still looked troubled, "I really thought... I thought my brother wouldn't show up."

Her voice grew so soft it was nearly a whisper.

Sophie reassured her, "I'm not mad at you, but I do need to understand what's going on with Kiran."

With all eyes on her, Sandy lowered her gaze, "Originally, I had two brothers. My mom was pregnant with twins, but one didn't make it... So, in my brother's body, there's... another brother. When I was little, didn't get it, and Dad just told me to keep quiet. After a car accidenta few years back, I realized my older brother was missing, leaving just the younger one. I tried to get answers, but Dad wouldn't tell me and forbade me from talking about it... To me, both brothers were special, and losing either would be

heartbreaking. Dad said mentioning the older brother would upset the younger one, so I wasn't allowed to talk about him."

Everyone listened, puzzled.

"What do you mean by 'another brother inside your brother's body'?" Jenna asked, baffled. "Isn't that just split personality? Why does it sound like some fantasy story?" Sophie asked, "So, your older brother is Kiran, and the younger one is Angelo? And it was Angelo who died in the womb?"

Sandy nodded earnestly, "They said

the older brother absorbed the younger one in the womb, taking his nutrients, which is why he was born. Dad told me they're like two souls in one body and asked me to call both my brother."

"Oh, sweetie, your dad's been spinning tales! What two souls in one body? That sounds like split personality to me," Adler remarked. "So Kiran is the main personality, and Angelo is the secondary one!"

Sandy, clearly upset, protested, "No way! It's two souls in one body! My brothers don't have a mental illness!"
