Married at First Sight

Chapter 3686

Chapter 3686 Chapter 3686 – Clarissa finally reacted to what Mr. Fontaine said: that her character was not as good as Kathryn’s. By now, Clarissa realized everyone believed what Mr. Jimenez, Audrey, and the others said—she was the murderer who killed her elder and younger sisters. “Clarissa, there are witnesses and evidence, yet you still deny killing the head of the family! She loved you like her own daughter, and this is how you repay her? Don’t you feel guilty at all? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?” Mr. Jimenez angrily accused her. Suddenly, Clarissa snapped, admitting, “Yes, my conscience has been eaten by a dog. I killed my sisters. So what?” “Why should I feel guilty? My sister loved me so much that if I wanted to be head of the family, she would’ve given me the position. She wouldn’t have blamed me. But then she got married and had a daughter, leaving me no chance to move up.” “Why does she get all your love and loyalty? Because she’s the head of the family? Fine, if being the head is what it takes to win your loyalty, then I want to be the head! I want power! I want you, Mr. Jimenez, to be loyal to me the way you were to her.” Clarissa shouted, her eyes red with emotion. Killing her sisters—did people really think it didn’t hurt her? She had been an orphan from a young age, her father and mother gone, leaving her only her sisters. Her eldest sister was nearly 20 years older than her and had raised her and their younger sister after their mother passed away. The oldest sister acted like a mother, doing everything she could to take care of them. When their mother died, their father returned to his family but soon passed away too. The eldest sister even had Audrey in her late years to ensure there would be a next generation to lead the family. But the strain of managing the family and giving birth at an advanced age left her health in decline.

Eventually, the eldest sister entrusted Clarissa with handling family affairs, and for the first time, Clarissa tasted real power. She became addicted to that feeling of control. But she knew as long as her sister was alive, she’d never be the head of the family. And even if her sister passed, Audrey would inherit the role. At first, Clarissa was horrified by her own thoughts of replacing her sister. Her sister wasn’t just a sibling—she had been like a mother to her. How could she even think such a thing? But once the idea was planted, it grew, slowly and steadily, into a powerful desire. When her sister gave birth to a second daughter, it sealed Clarissa’s fate. Her sister now had two daughters, leaving no room for Clarissa to rise. Even if Audrey died, there was still Harlow to take over. In her twisted mind, Clarissa began to admire Mr. Jimenez. He had helped raise her and her sister. He was like the father she never had, and over time, her feelings for him became inappropriate, turning into a deep, unrequited love. Her love for Mr. Jimenez became so intense that it drove her to plot her sister’s downfall in a desperate bid to have him and the power she craved. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
