Urban Romance
My older brother hated me for ten years. The last time we argued, I left home alone on a long journey and unexpectedly encountered an earthquake. Just as I was about to be struck by a hotel chandelier, my brother suddenly appeared and stood in front of me. “Dolores, run out quickly, don't look back!” The chandelier crashed down heavily, shattering his spine, yet he gave me a relieved smile. “Dad and mom's last wish was for me to take good care of you, and I've done it.” “If there is a next life, I hope you don't appear in front of our family again.” I was held tightly by someone, watching helplessly as my brother was completely buried under the rubble. That night, having lost my last relative, I jumped into the river without hesitation. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day I was rescued from being trafficked. This time, I decided to fulfill my brother's wish and no longer go to their house to claim kinship. But later, when I risked everything to save another brother, my own brother knelt before me, his voice panicked, “Are you really… abandoning us?” 
"Young lady, whose bastard is that inside you?"
"Don't you know any shame? Is this how I raised you?"
The living room was warm, yet a cold sweat broke out across my back. I stroked my swollen belly, looked at their outraged faces, and suddenly let out a low chuckle.
"You really don't know?"
Father crushed his cigarette butt savagely into the ashtray, sparks flying up before dying. "How would we know what shameful things you've been up to out there?"
"The kidnappers," I said softly, my voice like a snowflake landing on a hot iron plate. "Don't you remember? That year the kidnappers took both me and Liza. They wanted a 500,000 ransom. You only scraped together half, saying 'save the real child first.'"
My parents' faces instantly froze, like the surface of a frozen lake. They even seemed to forget to breathe.
"Later, you took Liza back. The kidnappers kept me for three more months." I touched my belly, fingertips registering a faint flutter of movement inside. "Did you really think I escaped on my own?"
But none of that mattered anymore. Because I was going to die.
