The Demon Sister, Triple Revenge

I've been a thousand-year-old demon for a long time. I gave up my savage nature to live among humans, not wanting any trouble. My only hobby? Teasing mortal men for fun.

The newest little wolf-dog I hooked up with was exactly my type. He was so charming that I actually let myself catch real feelings for once.

During the day, I talked about everything under the sun with him. At night, we were at the race tracks or the clubs. In bed, we were so inseparable that I almost forgot who I really was.

It wasn't until our first anniversary that I stumbled upon the truth. I walked in on three identical versions of Silas.

"Silas, Lukas, Finn... you guys aren't actually falling for that woman, are you?" a sweet voice asked.

"Of course not, Serena. A girl like her is just a toy for our amusement. Since she offended you, we're just using her to get even. You're the only one we've ever loved."

It was broad daylight, but I felt like I was seeing ghosts. Suddenly, a line of floating text drifted across my vision like a live chat:

LOL, this side character doesn't even know she's been played out. That's what she gets for messing with our precious female lead. She deserves it!

The male leads are so protective of Serena. I ship it so hard!

It turned out I was living in a reverse-harem romance novel. I was nothing but a stepping stone to make the bond between the leads stronger.

The little wolf-dog was actually triplets. I was just a toy for their revenge and entertainment.

But I didn't get angry, and I didn't have a breakdown. Instead, I tapped my temple, feeling a sudden surge of excitement.

"Wake up, sisters. We've been hungry for centuries, and finally, some snacks have delivered themselves to our door! I want Silas. You two can pick the other two!"

You have three brothers, and I have three sisters. It's only fair, right?

"I knew Big Sister would like the educated one. I'll take Lukas. That boy is wild when he's racingDdefinitely my vibe!"

"Since you've both picked, Finn belongs to the youngest. Look at him acting all sophisticated. Tearing that mask off is going to be so much fun."

I'm actually a three-headed snake demon. To fit into human society, I changed my appearance to become a law-abiding citizen.

The other two consciousnesses didn't have enough power to manifest, so they lived inside me.

Silas and his brothers were running a con on me?

What a coincidence. I had two sisters living in my head.

The triplets' little game of musical chairs was nothing compared to a three-headed snake.

When I took this form, I promised the Supernatural Bureau I wouldn't start trouble. But I never said I'd take it lying down.

The Bureau was afraid I'd tear their headquarters apart, so they made a rule.

As long as I collected three pieces of evidence of human malice, I could deal with them directly.

My second sister was humming in my head.

"Big Sis, when do we eat? I haven't tasted fresh meat in centuries. I'm starving!"

I stared at the four people in the restaurant who were completely oblivious to my presence. I curled my lips into a cold smile.

"Don't rush. We report to the Bureau first. Once the audit is approved, we can feast legally."

After all, I'm a very law-abiding demon.

As soon as I stepped into the room, a sugary-sweet voice made my skin crawl.

"Oh, Vera is here? I was just helping Silas pick out some dishes. Don't get the wrong idea, okay?"

Serena was clinging to Silas's arm, acting all coy. Silas held her and shot me a look that was as cold as ice.

"You're so late. Do you really think you have the right to be jealous of Serena?"

I frowned, trying to remember who Serena was. What did I ever do to her?

My second sister suddenly spoke up.

"Sis, her cousin was your 37th ex-boyfriend. You dumped him, and I guess Serena took it personally."

Light dawned on me. My ex-boyfriends could line up from here to the Hollywood Sign. Who the hell was her cousin?

"Serena, your cousin took the limited-edition watch I gave him and immediately gave it to his secretary," I said with a smirk.

I didn't hold back at all.

"Stop sticking to Silas like a piece of cheap gum. If you're unhappy, go find your cousin. Now, get lost."

Demons value loyalty. When I date, I give my heart and my money. I've never owed anyone anything. These people didn't deserve to talk about revenge.

Silas looked a bit guilty for a second, probably thinking I'd found out the truth. He quickly tried to play peacemaker.

"Vera, what are you saying? Can't you be more open-minded? Serena is like a sister to me. Who are you showing that attitude to?"

"Serena, you head home first. I'll come find you tonight."

I had to admit, Silas's face was very deceptive. It made people want to drown in his gentleness.

Sure enough, Serena stomped her foot, glared at me, and sashayed away.

I stared at Silas's lying face and suddenly dropped a bomb.

"Silas, I'm pregnant."

Silas was about to sit down, but he jumped like he'd been electrocuted.

"What? Vera, you're pregnant? Are you serious?"

My two sisters were laughing like maniacs in my head. I could barely keep a straight face.

I stroked my flat stomach, ignoring the two shadows behind the door that were shaking like leaves. I let a perfectly soft, maternal look reach my eyes.

"Yes, two months. Silas, we're having a baby."

Silas froze. In that moment, I looked radiant and soft.

It was a side of me the three brothers had never seen.

The shadows behind the door shook even harder. I didn't even blink.

Two months. According to their rotation schedule, this baby would have been Finn's.

I used to wonder how Silas had the energy to go all night every night.

It was fun, sure, but even a thousand-year-old demon like me was getting exhausted.

It turned out these three were taking shifts. None of them wanted to miss out on the fun.

Ugh, I thought they were just playing with her. How could they get her pregnant? Don't let the male lead be seduced by this trash!

She probably stole his DNA to get pregnant. So shameless!

I ignored the live chat comments. I kept flirting with the man in front of me until Silas's ears actually turned red.

Nice try, boys. You want to play with me? I'll play you until you're dead.

After dinner, I was dragged to the race track. The man beside me had already been swapped for Lukas.

"Today is Serena's birthday. We agreed on a race. You're not going to back out, are you?"

I frowned and touched my stomach. My eyes were watery as I put on a weak act.

"But I..."

Lukas stared at me for a few seconds. His hand, usually so steady on the steering wheel, almost touched my belly. He caught himself and coughed.

"Don't be a buzzkill. A two-month-old fetus isn't going to fly out from a few turns."

Lukas clicked his tongue impatiently. That wild streak of his was actually kind of charming.

Too bad he was rotten to the core. No matter how hot he was, I wasn't keeping him.

Before I could answer, Serena roughly shoved me into the passenger seat.

"Vera, everyone is waiting. Lukas is the best driver. Nothing will happen, I promise!"

She acted like I didn't exist and blew a kiss to Lukas. The crowd at the track started whistling and cheering.

Omg, Lukas won't even look at that old woman. I love this!

Lukas patted Serena's head and gave me a look of pure contempt.

"Stop wasting time. See how sensible Serena is?"

Before I could even click my seatbelt, the car shot forward like an arrow.

"Silas! Slow down, please!"

"Heh, Silas..."

The man gritted his teeth and slammed the gas pedal to the floor.

"That nerd could never drive like this."

"What? The wind is too loud! I can't hear you!"

I kept up the act. Suddenly, I felt the seatbelt loosening.

"Lukas! The seatbelt is broken! Stop the car!"

He didn't listen. He pulled a series of sharp turns that made my insides feel like they were shifting. We headed straight for the final ninety-degree turn.

"Watch this!"

Snap. The seatbelt gave way completely. I was thrown from the car, slamming heavily into the bushes with a sickening thud.

Lukas crossed the finish line. Serena ran up to him with teary eyes.

"Lukas, you're incredible! That stunt was one of a kind!"

"Anything for you."

Lukas is so sweet! Serena is like a delicate little cupcake. I totally approve of this couple!

So the "gift" she wanted for her birthday was to see me thrown out of a car like a ragdoll.

"Stop faking it. Falling into the grass won't kill you!" Lukas shouted toward the bushes.

I glanced at the red light flashing on the hidden camera on my chest. I used a small spell to block the pain and rolled my eyes, forcing myself to pass out.

Evidence piece number one: obtained.

When I woke up, I was in a hospital bed. The sound of arguing outside was giving me a headache.

"Lukas, you went too far this time!"

"Tch, don't tell me you're actually catching feelings for her? She just broke a few bones. Serena's happiness is more important."

Exactly! So what if the side character broke some bones? Our Serena is too kind. If it were up to me, I'd have thrown her onto the concrete!

The door was pushed open. Finn, the one who worked the hardest in bed, leaned over with a look of concern.

"Vera, you're awake? I brought you..."

"Finn, my head hurts so much..."

Before Finn could finish, Serena suddenly collapsed to the floor. Her face was as pale as paper, immediately grabbing Finn's attention.

"Serena! What's wrong?"

"Vera, Serena was so worried about you that she hasn't eaten a bite. Her anemia is acting up. You two have the same blood type. Donate some to her."

Serena is so noble. That old woman better appreciate this!

"Sure, take as much as you want."

I smiled submissively. Finn actually froze. He didn't expect me to agree so easily.

A flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes, but cruelty quickly won out.

"Good girl, Vera. I'll give you anything you want after this."

My blood flowed into the container like it cost nothing. My arm turned purple with bruises, and my face grew paler.

The doctor looked at me with pity.

"Sir, we can't take any more..."

Finn kicked him aside.

"Can't you see how weak Serena is? Vera isn't complaining, so why are you? Keep going!"

They should drain her dry and give it all to Serena!

My youngest sister was the impulsive one. Seeing the live chat comments nearly drove her crazy. She screamed in my head.

"Big Sis, you're a great actress! Is that old, stale blood feeling good coming out?"

"Shut up."

I suppressed the urge to laugh. I had one brother for each of us, and I was wondering how to deal with Serena.

She really did me a favor by showing up.

I could donate this blood, but even the Supernatural Bureau wouldn't dare take it. Serena was just a human. How long did she think she could survive with demon blood in her veins?

The nurse tremblingly handed over a test result.

"Sir... this Miss Serena... she's one month pregnant."

Serena appeared out of nowhere and threw herself at my bedside, sobbing.

"Vera! Silas and I were both drunk that night! I'll go end the pregnancy right now! Please don't hate me!"

Finn's face changed instantly. He didn't know whose baby it was, but it couldn't stay.

"Don't worry, Serena. We're not keeping it. I'll go with you to take care of it."

"But Silas, I'm scared..."

"Then we'll have Vera take care of hers first as a demonstration. That way you won't be afraid."

The three of us were just enjoying the drama when my name got called.

"Finn, what the hell is wrong with your brain? You get someone else pregnant and then ask me to demonstrate how to end mine?"

I sat up abruptly, the IV tube snapping.

"Even the Devil couldn't come up with a move this twisted. You really deserve to rot in hell!"

This man knew the baby was his, yet he was cold enough to say that?

Finn's face darkened as he lost face in public. A cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Guards."

A group of burly bodyguards rushed in. The leader raised his foot and kicked me right in the stomach.

"Ah!"

Blood stained the hospital sheets.

Serena pretended to pull him back.

"Finn, is this really okay?"

"She brought it on herself with that big mouth. Let her stay here and reflect on what she did!"

So satisfying! That side character doesn't even know Serena's pregnancy is fake. This will damage her womb so much she'll never have kids again!

Funny. My pregnancy was fake, too.

The room emptied out. I stared at the blood on the sheets and smirked.

Evidence piece number two: obtained.

"I'm so moved that you came to my celebration party even though your legs haven't healed, Vera. I took your spot as the lead dancerDyou're not mad, are you? I wonder if you'll ever stand on a stage again."

Serena was wearing a snow-white dress, looking like a pure, innocent saint.

As a snake demon, my natural flexibility made it easy for me to become the lead of the dance troupe.

Serena is so beautiful! The three male leads can't take their eyes off her. The old woman must be dying of jealousy!

I didn't care much for the job, but I had worked hard for every performance.

I had rehearsed for six months for my final show before retiring.

But Silas and the others ignored my hard work. They handed my spot to Serena just because she asked.

With a broken leg and a damaged womb, my position was immediately filled.

The media was all over it, branding Serena as the new queen of dance.

"Silas, will people hate me for taking Vera's spot like this?"

"Don't worry, babe. We'll take care of it."

Under the brothers' influence, the media portrayed me as a washed-up dancer who was graciously mentoring her successor.

But soon, the rumors turned nasty.

They said I traded my body for fame, that I was a drug addict, and that I'd had countless procedures to end pregnancies.

Crazed fans found my hospital room, threw acid at me, and threatened me with knives.

I could have left the hospital long ago, but I waited until the day of Serena's performance.

Even if I didn't care about human things, I was still a little annoyed.

"Big Sis, your 'obsessed dancer' persona is working great. She thinks she's won a prize," my second sister laughed.

"These three guys are only fit to wash our feet. She treats them like treasures. It's hilarious."

"Shut up. I'm acting."

I whispered as I watched Serena strike poses on stage.

I knew exactly why Serena invited me here today.

The crowd was loud, but Silas was nowhere to be seen.

They were about to close the net and destroy their prey.

But the best hunters often appear as the prey.

My two sisters were starving, and I couldn't wait any longer.

I was in a great mood. Even Serena looked a bit better to me.

"Why would I be mad? You became the lead because of your own hard work."

Serena still thought I was just pretending to be strong. She suddenly laughed a creepy laugh.

"I only made it to the international stage because you broke your leg. Let me give you a big gift at my party!"

Three identical figures walked out from backstage.

The man on the left wore gold-rimmed glasses, looking cold and distant.

That one was mine.

The man in the middle had a messy fringe and a wicked, bad-boy smirk.

That one was for my second sister.

The man on the right had sharp eyes like a hawk searching for prey.

That one was for the youngest.

I collapsed to the ground, letting tears stream down my face. My eyes were bloodshot.

"Silas, what is the meaning of this?!"

Hahaha! So good! Finally, the truth is out. Don't worry, Vera, there's much more pain coming for you!

Serena looked triumphant.

"You thought you were dating one guy, but you got three for the price of one! Honestly, with a girl like you, sleeping with thirty men wouldn't be a problem!"

Serena wanted to continue, but Silas interrupted her with a frown.

"Vera, you bullied Serena, so we came up with this to get even. If you apologize to her and admit your mistakes, we can let this go."

"I'm Lukas, by the way. I was the one who raced with you. We'll never marry you, but since we've been together for a year, we'll let you stay and serve us. If you do a good job, maybe we'll let you have a baby for real."

"And I'm Finn. Woman, you should be grateful. You got three of us for free. You didn't lose anything."

Serena's face froze. She shoved Silas away, doubting her own ears.

"What do you mean? We agreed we were just acting! Why are you keeping her?!"

Wait, what do the male leads mean? Aren't they supposed to take her money and career, let her die in the street, and then marry Serena?

To be fair, Vera is way hotter. I can see why they'd want to keep her...

Shut up, you guys!

The three of us were shocked by the brothers' shamelessness and the live chat's stupidity.

"You talk so big, but the three of you are just monsters in human skin! You're disgusting!"

Actually, Vera didn't really do anything wrong, right? Is this too much?

She made Serena sad! She deserves whatever happens!

Silas and the others lost their patience. They ignored the hysterical Serena and stared at me like they wanted to devour me.

"Vera, I understand you're upset, so I'll forgive you this time. But don't be naughty again." Lukas snapped his fingers.

"Take her to the villa. Lock her in the basement."

The bodyguards surged forward to grab my arms.

A faint red light flashed again.

On my broken phone screen, a line of text appeared that only I could read.

Supernatural Bureau: Audit approved. You are authorized to clean up.
