The Replacement wife

"I always envy my twin sister because everything she wants always goes her way.

We're completely different:

I'm a brat, and she's kind.

I'm stubborn, and she's obedient.

I'm selfish, and she's selfless.

I envy her because everyone likes her, and I hate her because she deserves it.

"Hanni, daughter, what are you doing here?" I quickly turned to the woman descending the stairs.

She was dressed simply but still stood out due to her posture and the natural beauty she possessed, making her look like she was only 30 years old, even though she was actually 50.

"Aunt Eloisa," I nervously said, waiting for her to come down the stairs.

"You told me that there's something you want to tell," she began before kissing me on the cheek, and we both sat down on their living room sofa.

I was about to speak when Uncle Errol arrived with Erren, and they seemed to be in a cheerful conversation. I saw Erren's subtle smile as he spoke with his father.

I closed my eyes briefly.

"Hanni? What are you doing here?" Uncle Errol asked.

I took a deep breath and looked at them, especially Erren, who had a hostile look in his eyes.

"Aunt, Un-Uncle," I nervously said, causing Aunt Eloisa to hold my trembling hand.

"It's okay, Hanni. You can tell us any problem," she reassured me, causing me to cry due to the guilt I felt. I felt Aunt's comforting hand on my back, as if she was trying to calm me down.

I took a deep breath before looking up at them again.

"What's the problem, daughter?" Uncle Errol asked.

I could see the concern in their eyes, except for Erren, whose gaze was fixed on me.

"I'm p-p-pregnant," I stammered, and I saw surprise in their eyes, even in Erren's.

"W-who's the father, daughter?" Aunt Eloisa asked.

I took a deep breath, and she immediately comforted me as tears streamed down my face.

"It is Enzo?" Uncle asked seriously.

I just shook my head.

"Oh my, don't tell me it's Ely?" Aunt Eloisa asked excitedly.

I shook my head again.

Ely was their first child, who had no interest in girls.

"Then who, daughter? Because you wouldn't tell us if one of our children wasn't the father," Uncle Errol stopped, looking at Erren in shock.

I burst into tears when I saw him staring at Erren, who was in a daze.

"No...no, daughter, he can't be," Aunt Eloisa stammered, as if she was trying not to cry.

I took a deep breath and wiped my tears before looking at them.

"Yes, Aunt... Erren is the father of my unborn child," I tearfully confessed, causing tears to well up in her eyes as well.

I also saw surprise in Uncle Errol's eyes.

"He can't be, daughter... he can't be... Hannah just passed away," he cried.

I cried too because of Aunt Eloisa's reaction. It hurt because it seemed like she couldn't accept our baby, no... she couldn't handle it.

What do you expect, Hanni... they loved Hannah so much.

"That is not my child," Erren coldly said, and it felt like my heart was being crushed.
