"What! Why would you want to do that to your own sister for crying out loud. What did she ever do to you Claudia? All she's ever done is love you and treat you like a princess and this is your idea of 'thank you'? Christ you're one heartless human being." Nick yelled out Claudia.
"Umm hello Nick, whose side are you on? Need I remind you am your girlfriend here not my sister. And you're making it sound like I said I wanted to kill her, chop her into a thousand pieces and flush her down the toilet jeez!" Claudia snorted.
Nick stood there completely fazed by what his girlfriend just said. He wondered why she had so much hatred, jealousy and envy for her own blood sister, her only sister who loved more than life itself.
Claudia and Miranda Cooper were just like any typical sisters growing up but things started to change when they grew older. Claudia started being hostile towards her sister. Their parents did really take it to heart until Claudia almost burnt her sister alive when she was only ten years old.
Claudia was a beautiful girl with beautiful brownish gold short hair that glowed under the sunlight and beautiful brown eyes with thick lushes.Mostly people said her hair looked like flames of fire.
Miranda was not any less better looking than her sister. She had beautiful long dark hair that complimented her bright blue eyes. Her eyes were so clear that looking into them made one feel as if they could see Miranda's soul! Miranda had a pair of long beautiful slender legs that made her look like a super model.
Despite the fact that Claudia was three years younger than Miranda, she was very hot tempered and feisty. Most times Miranda went crying to her parents because her sister beat her up or tried to strangle her. She was mostly at a disadvantage because of her calm and loving nature,she could never bring herself to hurt her little sister but Claudia felt otherwise.
Because of Miranda's good nature she automatically became liked by everyone around her. She was a very smart child hence life was much easier for her compared to her sister who got in trouble every chance she got.
There parents hoped that Claudia would change but she only got worse so they decided to separate them by sending them to different boarding schools.
Miranda being the older one,graduated from high school first and went straight into university and started studying Accounts because she was very good at mathematics.
When Miranda was in her second year of university, Claudia graduated from high school but decided that she wanted to start a business instead of wasting her time in university like her sister. Her parents did not object her and told her that they would give her some capital to start with as soon as she told them what she wanted to venture into.
After four years Miranda graduated from university as the top student in her class so finding a job was very easy for her. A month after graduating she was offered a job by Venus company as the head of accounts and she accepted the offer.
Meanwhile, Claudia was running her own fashion store.Though it wasn't really big it was enough to give her a comfortable life.
When Claudia learnt that her sister was back she didn't like it at all. So she vowed to make her sister suffer until she left her life for good!
"Oh my little baby sister is here! How are Clauds? I missed you so much." Miranda ran to hug her sister when she entered their parents' house where they were having a reunion dinner but Claudia just pushed her away and started yelling at her " Aah hello haven't you ever heard of coronavirus? You do not where I have been neither do I know where you've been and I thought I told you to stop calling me Clauds that's a very stupid name. Plus don't ever call me little, ever! Am a twenty three year old lady ain't nothing little about me. Now if you'll excuse me 'sister' I have better things to do. Rubbish! "Claudia hissed at she walked away from her sister but Miranda held her hand and asked her what that was all about . Claudia yanked her hand out her sister's grip but Miranda pulled her back again and said" excuse me young lady am talking to you is that any way to treat your elder sister? What is wrong with you why do hate me so much? All I do is love you but all you do is hurt me. What did I ever do to you? What!? "
" Well madam if must know I can talk to you however I feel like you're not the boss of me no one is! And if really want to know why I hate you I will gladly tell you why. You have always had it better than me first our parents have always loved you more, you went to the best school while I was sent to that hellhole as if that is not enough everyone in the family always praises you for being all so holy are humble but I am always being labeled as the black sheep of the family. Everyone compares me to you and tells me how I should like you well newsflash sister I don't ever want to be like you, so why don't you go shove that goody attitude up your 'perfect' ass because I don't give a shit about it. Now move! " Claudia growled at her sister who just stood there completely dumbstruck.
Miranda decided to leave the house so she went to say goodbye to her parents"mom, dad I am afraid I have to leave, something came up at work. I'll see you later." But before she could leave her mother broke out tears "why can't I just have both my daughters with me at the same time? All I wanted was for us to have a peaceful dinner like old times but looks like that will only be a distant memory." "Oh mom please don't start, you know my schedule is very tight and I promise to come visit you guys as soon as I get some free time." Miranda told her mom who was now weeping bitterly.
Their father said to Miranda "sweetie why do want to go, I mean you just got here and don't you want to spend more time with your little sister you guys haven't met in four whole years. Please sweetie reconsider.
"Fine dad I will stay but not for long and mom you can stop crying now okay." Miranda replied.
"Thanks honey now let's all sit down and eat before the food gets cold" their mother said happily though still hiccuping.
They all sat down and eat and chatted happily, all except of course Claudia who barely touched her food. After eating the girls cleared the table and helped wash the dishes. After that, Claudia said she had to go see a friend who wanted to buy some clothes from her. So Claudia said goodbye to her mom and dad but completely ignored her sister like she wasn't even there
After Claudia left their father asked Miranda if they were fighting again. "Dad you know very well that I don't like fighting with my sister but looks like she enjoys doing it. I don't know what to do anymore because am getting tired of her attitude towards me. I don't know why she hates me so much. I thought things would get better when we grew up but things just got worse aaah! I don't know what I ever did to her" Miranda said helplessly.
Her mother said" don't worry love everything will be alright she's just immature. Don't let her worry you."
" Okay mom and dad I'll run along now see you later." Miranda kissed her parents goodbye and drove off to her apartment.
When she got home she decided to check on her best friend Becky so she picked up her phone and called her.
" Hey Becky girl how are you doing I didn't see you at work today what happened?" Miranda said. " Hey love unfortunately I woke up with a terrible headache so I couldn't come to work today. How about we meet at a restaurant so we can talk more and you can tell me what happened today at work." Becky replied from the other end of the line.
" Okay text me the address and I'll be there in 30 minutes.see you later bye" Miranda hung up and started getting ready to go and meet her friend.
At 7:30pm Miranda was standing outside their favorite restaurant, Lu's Chinese restaurant. She couldn't help but smile. Becky and her both always loved Chinese food and ever since they came across Lu's Chinese restaurant when they were only eighteen,they vowed to always go there for there Chinese food.
" Over hear!" Becky waved at her friend. "I have already ordered the food, kung Pao chicken and fried rice for me and dumplings and Hot pot for you so sit down and tell me what I missed.
" Well nothing really happened at work but something happened at my parents house. It was Claudia. "
" What did your maniac sister do this time around? "Becky asked.
" Hey she's not a maniac don't say that about my sister. She's just a bit immature and stubborn but not crazy. And she didn't do anything outrageous she told me that she hates me and that I should go to hell. " Miranda said.
Becky said" okay but that is nothing new I mean she's been telling you all her life that she hates you and proved her hatred on several occasions. "I know but I ! her head low.
"Oh please don't tell me you want to start crying because of your sister again. Girl, don't let her get to you okay. Tell you what I think you should start putting her in her place because I think she behaves like that towards you because she knows you're a saint and won't retaliate. But I think it's time you showed her who is older between you guys for God's sake she's three years younger than you yet you act like the younger one. You need to step up and demand the respect you deserve" Becky said." Whatever Becky let's just enjoy our food. "Miranda replied.
After that the two ladies drove to there respective homes.
