Chapter 10 

The Millersmy socalled parentsweren’t even my biological family

I found out the truth when my adoptive mother fell ill during my pregnancy. I took her to the hospital for a check up, only to learn she was born infertile

My real mother? She was once a housekeeper for the Millers, until my father stole me from her and drove her insane

Now she’s locked away in a mental institution, clutching a tattered doll and calling out my name

gging me to come home

As for my biological father? He was the Millersformer driver, killed in a staged car accident. The culprit? Never caught

But looking back, it was obvious

The fingerprints of that old manmy adoptive fatherwere all over it

My real family was destroyed by him

Piece by piece, I unraveled the truth

Ethan Miller wasn’t just my husbandhe was my adoptive father’s illegitimate son

Box that 

He married me for one reason only: to claim was rightfully his after my death

With me gone, he could waltz into the Miller household as the grieving son in law, seamlessly 

transitioning to his rightful place. Then he could marry Ashley Green, raise their child together, and no one would suspect a thing

The plan was perfect. A respectable image, no loose ends, and a fresh start with the family he 

wanted

When I discovered this, my entire world collapsed

I went from being a beloved daughter, pampered and cherished, to someone utterly discarded dust Swept into a gutter

At first, I believed my adoptive mother was in the dark. But when I found the paperwork for my Plogical mother’s commitment to the asylum, her name was right there on the signature line

94.1

hapter

The handwriting matched hers perfectly

1 hated my father. I hated her. I hated all of them

My adoptive father, hungry for power, had married into my mother’s wealthy family. When her infertility became apparent, he used her resources to climb the social ladder, bleeding her dry before turning his attention elsewhere

That’s when he had Ethan with another woman

But controlling a daughter was easier than hiding an illegitimate son. So, he targeted me

He took me from my real mother and played the role of the doting father in public

And my adoptive mother? She knew. She knew everything. Yet she played along, hiding her flaws. and clinging to appearances

Year after year, I went for my regular checkups, and they surely knew about the bone cancer long before I did. But no one said a word

When the symptoms became impossible to ignore, my adoptive mother casually suggested having a doctor check me at home

The same woman who couldn’t sleep if I had a fever or cold brushed off my deteriorating health as if it were nothing

That moment, something broke inside me

Neglect became routine

Hurt and confused, I confronted her, asking why she had started to ignore me, why she and my father had changed after my marriage

She didn’t answer

Instead, she hid her plans even deeper, helping my father prepare Ethan’s entrance into the family

The day I gave birth, they replaced my daughter with Ethan and Ashley’s child

My real daughter was declared stillborn and cremated, her ashes buried at Ethan’s family home

How could I not hate them

new where my daughter was, but I had to stay silent

upt fo 

For a month, I lived in guilt and rage, pretending not to know, choking on my grief as I waited

Maybe it was the 25 years I had spent in their careenough time to develop feelings even for stones

In my final month, they were oddly kind to me, almost as if trying to soothe a guilty conscience

For a moment, I thought I had gone back to my childhood, when everything seemed perfect

But dreams always end

When I killed them, I wanted to wake my mother and ask

Did you feel even a shred of remorse when you killed my daughter

And my fatherdid he ever fear retribution for the family he destroyed

But in the end, it didn’t matter

My 25 years of life had been a web of lies. It was time to wake up

As I revealed the truth piece by piece, Ashley Green crumbled, panic etched on her face

I turned to her slowly

You were just taking care of him, weren’t you, sisterinlaw?I said, the words dripping with mockery

Your child is dead because of him. You’ve had to keep your relationship hidden, watching him marry another woman. If I hadn’t killed them, you would’ve stayed in the shadows until I died. Don’t you hate him for that?” 

The live broadcast cut off abruptly, but the damage was done

Everyone in the room was in tears, except Ethan

He glared at me, his teeth clenched so tightly I thought they might shatter. If looks could kill, I’d have died a thousand times over

For me, there was nothing left to say

The truth was out, and with it, all the burdens I had carried

The cancer attacked one last time, dropping me to the floor

As my vision blurred, I heard their panicked voices, their desperate calls for help

Were they worried about me? Were they truly concerned this time

This wasn’t another act, was it

A single tear slipped down my cheek

Clutching my daughter’s urn tightly, I let the pain fade away

Before the doctor could arrive, I closed my eyes for the last time

I wouldn’t be coming back to this world of lies
