Blood Ties `104

Chapter

I made no effort to hide my crimes. The bottle of pills was left casually on the table, right where they could see it

When the police finished their investigation, every piece of evidence pointed squarely at me

Outside, the voices of the crowd grew louder. The officers turned their stares on me, their eyes filled with a rage that spoke of a desire for immediate justice

What was your motive?one officer barked, his tone sharp and cutting

“Why would you do this? They were your parents! And your daughtershe was only a month old! How could you?” 

Before I could answer, the drugs in my system began to wear off. Pain flooded my body, so intense that I collapsed to the floor, curling into myself as cold sweat soaked my forehead

The officer closest to me stepped forward and nudged me with his boot, his voice laced with suspicion

Don’t you dare play games with us! I’m warning youdon’t try to act your way out of this. The evidence is clear, so you’d better start talking!” 

Just then, someone from the search team walked over, holding a piece of paper

She’s in the late stages of bone cancer,he announced flatly

The room fell silent. The officers exchanged uneasy glances

One of them finally broke the quiet, his voice full of contempt

So what? Cancer doesn’t give you the right to kill your parents and your child!” 

Exactly! She’s dying anywayjust put her on death row until she drops. No way should she get to die peacefully!” 

Killers deserve to pay the price, and someone who could do this to their own family is worse than

I forced myself to breathe through the pain, my voice barely above a whisper

I’m guilty. I’ve never denied what I’ve done. I’ll confess everythingincluding my motive. But there’s one condition: I need to see Ethan Miller first.” 

The words had barely left my lips when a young officer lunged toward me, fury etched into every 

line of his face

You’ve got some nerve, you piece of trash! You’re the murderer here! You don’t get to make 

demands!” 

The lead investigator quickly stepped in, pulling him back

Let’s hear her out. She doesn’t seem mentally unstable, and she didn’t try to run. If she’s willing to talk, her motive is probably more complicated than it looks.” 

An entire family wiped out in one night. This has revenge written all over it.” 

I looked at him and gave a faint nod of approval. He wasn’t wrong

This wasn’t just murder. It was retributionyears in the making

Hearing him agree to my request, I finally allowed myself to relax. The pain overtook me, and I blacked out completely

In the darkness of my mind, memories of my childhood played like an old home movie

I saw myself in a tiny walker, my dad laughing as he followed behind me. My mom held a fluffy 

pink cotton candy in her hand, waving me over

We looked like the perfect family, as if we had stepped straight out of a fairy tale

But then, the story took a dark turn

My mom’s face hardened, her voice cold and detached

Sick is sick, What’s the big deal? There’s no need for a hospital. I’ll find a doctor to come to

house.” 

I heard my own voice, small and trembling- 

Momdo you not love me anymore?” 

Momit hurts so much.” 

fomwhy did everything change after I got married?”

A sudden splash of freezing water shocked me back to reality

When I opened my eyes, I was lying on a hospital gurney in a dimly lit hallway

An officer stood over me, pointing toward a room down the corridor. His tone was sharp, almost 

cruel

Ethan’s in there. Take a good look at what you’ve done to him!” 

He hasn’t woken up yet. How do you expect him to talk to you? You’ve seen him now, so spill it. What’s your motive?” 

I dragged myself to the glass window of the ICU, each step feeling like a marathon

Through the glass, I saw Ethan lying pale and motionless, tubes and wires keeping him alive

I shook my head slowly

I’ll only tell Ethan. If you hadn’t stopped me, I would’ve finished the job back at the house.” 

The officer’s face turned bright red with anger, his fists clenched. It was clear he was barely holding himself back from dragging me away then and there

I knew the scale of my crimethis wasn’t the kind of thing that happened every day. Their decision to humor me at all had already come with massive 

pressure

With the media swarming outside and public outrage boiling over, their patience wouldn’t last long

Just as the officer raised his voice to argue, his superior intervened

Ask the doctor when he’ll wake upor if there’s a way to speed it up

As if the universe pitied me, Ethan’s eyelids fluttered open before anyone could leave the room 

The door to his room creaked open, and his head turned toward the sound. The moment his eyes met mine, they burned with a hatred so fierce it could have cut through steel

Grace,he hissed. You killed my parents? Are you out of your damn mind?” 

They loved you. They adored you. How could you do this to them?” 

He tried to lunge at me, but with no legs to carry him, he collapsed to the floor in a heap

Watching his helpless, broken body, I felt something inside me finally click into place. A rush of 

Blond Ties, Broken Hands 

satisfaction surged through me

Tears spilled from my eyes, but my lips twisted into a smile. I laughedhard, uncontrollably, until it 

echoed through the room

Ethan.I said, my voice low and steady, exactly what role do you think gives you the right to say 

that to me?”
