I was a mimic, but my sister was the only person I ever copied.
When we were kids, Nora broke her left leg. Afraid my impression wouldn’t be authentic enough, I waited until the house was empty, climbed up to the second-story terrace, and jumped, shattering my right.
When Nora turned eighteen and took the reins of our grandfather’s heritage jewelry house, Mercer & Co., I turned around, took out an ungodly line of credit, and bought a bleeding diamond concession in South Africa, telling the press that we were simply vertical integration at its finest.
Then came Harrison Hayes.
The moment Nora set her sights on the eldest son of the Hayes dynasty, I adjusted my sights, too. She dropped twelve million at a private Sotheby’s gala on a one-of-a-kind vintage Patek Philippe for Harrison; I bought the sister piece from the same commemorative collection and handed it to his younger brother, Austin. She stood outside the Hayes Tower in Manhattan through an absolute deluge, soaking through a white silk dress, so I pitched a weatherproof expedition tent on the sidewalk right beside her, keeping Austin company while he waited for a ride.
Harrison returned her watch in broad daylight.
"Stop following me, Nora," he said, his voice flat and dismissive in front of half his corporate staff. "I will never fall for you."
Nora’s eyes rimmed with red, but she forced a smile. "That’s fine. I don't mind waiting."
I immediately whipped around, held out the matching velvet box, and shoved it toward Austin. "Your turn. Reject me."
Austin looked at the box, then up at me, his gaze dark and unreadable. A beat passed. "I don't like you, Hazel."
I recited Nora’s exact line with serene devotion: "That’s fine. I don’t mind waiting. And if I don’t get you in this life, I already bought the plots next to yours at Green-Wood. We can pick this back up in the dirt."
Nora’s face drained of every drop of color.#revengestory #reddit_tiktok #askredditstories #relationship #revengereturns #reddit #drama
