The Brother I Yielded

Summary

After my father’s bankruptcy and suicide, my older brother and I were left to raise each other.

At our lowest, we scavenged for scraps and slept under bridges. When my brother finally fought his way back to reclaim our family's business, the first thing he did was swear to me that he would never let me suffer again.

But then, he adopted a sister from an orphanage.

From that day on, the words I heard most from him were, "Jade is the younger sister. You need to be the bigger person and let her have her way."

And so, my room, my clothes, my jewelry—all of it was given to Jade.
