Marry that cruel man?

"You want me to marry my sister's fiance?" A girl with long black hair asked the middle aged woman standing in front of her. Her complection was pale and the shaking on her voice could be heard. She couldn't believe that this woman, Mabel is actually her mom. This mother of her's have hatred and coldness on her eyes that lack any motherly love.

"Luna, you have your responsibility to take care of you sister. She's weak and fragile, how could she marry in to that monster!" Mabel said harshly. The contempt on her eyes is too obvious as if she didn't bother hiding it at all. "So It's ok that I, a blind one, would be send instead and marry that cursed man? Aren't you my mother? How could you do this to me?" As if losing her temper, Luna blurted out the words with annoyance and grievance.

However, after realizing what she had said, she started shaking more and couldn't stand firmly. She avoided the cold look that her mother was giving her. Luna have this expression as if she saw a horrendous thing and her pitiful reaction to her own words look cowardly. This made her mother look down on her more.

"I never had a daughter like you." This words was said slowly but the coldness it holds is enough to crumble the last hope that Luna has on her mother.

So the situation is like this...

I thought, I could still change her mind and let her look at me twice. But she just cut our relationship as mother and daughter. Luna thought to herself. However, on the outside, the stunned look on her face made her more pitiful.

"Mom.... If s-sister Luna doesn't want to m..marry Mr. Ryu, let me.. I know that sister Luna is scared so it's fine that she would put herself first before our family. However, I am weak and wouldn't have much time left.. I could bear the curse and sacrifice myself so sister doesn't have to.." suddenly, a sweet voice came behind Mabel. The words were said softly, but the meaning it has are venomous. Mabel caught the meaning behind her words and she looks at Luna more coldly. This ungrateful wretch!

*Pak!*

Before Luna could retort to her sister's words, she was slapped by their mother. "You, selfish and ungrateful! How could you let you sister bear all the sufferings!? How could you be so selfish that you're not even thinking about our family? Anna is too soft hearted, how can't you be more like her? How can you let her be your scapegoat!?" This words were said by her own mother.

The words that Anna spoke before made Luna look like a coward who only cares for herself. These words, although it was said kindly and softly it's enough to make Luna a heartless woman, that doesn't care about the life of her weak sister. While the words said by Mabel, made her look like the one who originally have the engagement and she was the one who wants Anna to marry in her place.

These pair have said their piece so righteously that it twisted the fact that Luna was the one being forced to marry her sister's fiance.

Luna hides her annoyance and looked at the mother and daughter in front of her. Anna, despite her docile and gentle face, the proud and contempt that her eyes holds was enough to reveal her scheming personality. Meanwhile, Mabel's cold aura and aloofness isn't enough to hide her pretensions as a dignified Madam. These two never put Her(Luna) in their eyes and continues to step on her.

Holding the face that was slapped by Mabel, Luna shed tears and the expression of defeat on her face could be seen. Mabel sneered at this sight. Hearing nothing from Luna, Mabel sneered once again. "If you are smart enough, you would follow my orders obediently. Tomorrow, you would be send to Mr. Ryu's mansion. You would live there and wait for the wedding day." When Luna heard her, she nodded obediently.

A sigh of relief could be heard in the room, it was Anna. She slowly walks toward Luna and hold her hands. "Sister, don't be afraid. You are strong and I know that the curse won't affect you. Our family have good luck! Don't worry, I am always here for you." Anna said this kind words naturally, as if she truly care about Luna. However, the proud look on her eyes betrayed her words.

Luna looks at Anna, and let out small sobs, she look like she really believed her. Anna wore a satisfied smile however in the next moment, she was stunned when Luna whispered something to her. "If you really care, why don't you marry that cursed man and let me live mylife peacefully?"

After that Luna hugs Anna as if her life depends on it and her sobbing intensifies. Mabel, after seeing this, strode forward and pulled Anna, afraid that Luna might hurt her while hugging. She worriedly checks if Anna is fine and doesn't have any difficulties on breathing. Then she looks coldly at Luna. "Now you know that Anna cares for you. You have to give her kindness back. She is your sister, she is weak and couldn't handle the stress of being married. You have to shoulder the responsibility instead of her. Do you understand?" She
