Dad kicks her. “Apologize! Or I’ll cut you off!
You will live in the sewers.”
Brittany kneels.
“Star, I’m sorry! Forgive me!”
Dad looks at me. “Does that help?”
I’m bored.
I get in the car.

Dad and Wyatt follow, and the security blocks
them.
I left to live with my grandpa.
Three days later, I saw what happened to
Brittany online.
Dad had a group grab Brittany, torture her.
Brittany screamed for Dad and Wyatt.
No one came to save her.
“Why?”
I didn’t know.
Brittany ended up paralyzed.
Dad and Wyatt planned the attack and went
to jail.
I don’t care.
Grandpa owned a manor overseas.
I was happy.
On Mom’s birthday, Grandpa went into the
<
hospital.
He signed the papers to give me everything.
A woman showed up. She said she was
Grandpa’s daughter and she wanted money.
She was the other adopted daughter who
messed with my mom.
I was not like Mom.
“You are his step–daughter.”
She gets mad. “I was his daughter!”
“Let me see him.”
I smiled and had the security stop her.
“He will not see anyone else.”
“You are doing this on purpose!”
I said, “One more word and you will regret it.”
She said she was poor, and Grandpa and
Grandma kicked her out.
She asked for money.

I told her no.
She left and said she would be back.
I had a way to make her not.
Grandpa was not there all the time.
He called me Mom.
I searched for Mom’s stuff.
I saw her dresses, her room, and her music
box.
Wyatt died in a car crash. Dad was in jail.
I told Grandpa.
He laughed and said, “He got what he
deserved.”
He cursed the dad.
On his last day, he asked me, “What did Mom
say?”
I said, “She had some things to tell them.”
He smiled, “She was thinking of us? What did
L
<
say?”
I said, “She had some things to tell them.”
He smiled, “She was thinking of us? What did
she say?”
I said, “I don’t want to tell you.
He cried and smiled. “She is her daughter.
Say hi to your mom.”
He closed his eyes and stopped breathing.
She said she did not hate him.
I won’t talk about the past.
After I got the wealth, I soaked up the sun.
I traveled.
The pain will fade with time.
I am not in a rush.
I will not ask for their love.
I will love myself.
Then, I will live.
