spiteful - Story 138809 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Liam didn't even bother to hide his fury. A sister, now. One he'd never asked for, yet she was suddenly entitled to a share of everything. He felt a cold rage bubbling in his chest.

He started to make sure that his sister was left out of the loop. He changed all of his contact information. He’d make sure she wasn’t included in family events, important decisions, or any opportunity to build a relationship.

He started making plans for the future. He would outspend his sibling, he would out-achieve her, he would outlive her if he had to. He would take everything that belonged to him.
