He waited for Dad to take his medicine, and
played the recording.
“What?!”

My parents didn’t believe it, but there was
Anya’s voice.
“We’ve been so nice to her for the past 20
years, but she hurt our daughter!”
My parents turned red, and told my brother to
arrest Anya.
My brother smiled. “If she’s arrested, will she
drag us down?”
“I don’t know if she knows who hurt Chloe…”
My parents went silent.
“Should we just let Chloe die?”

Mom cried.
My brother struggled.
“I don’t know… I deleted the drafts from her
phone in the hospital.”
“I thought I could keep Anya’s status, but all it did was make her even more bold.”
“The drafts must have been stolen, and she copied Chloe’s handwriting… I’m so slow!”
Dad gasped.
“Bring Chloe back, I want to make it up…”

My brother did and found me.
I wasn’t shocked, and knew they would see I
didn’t die.
I had just had leg surgery thanks to my new boss.
I could talk and walk.
The doctor said it would be hard to sing like before.
I hated Aaron.
“What do you want?”

He looked at my new body and wanted to
hold my hand, but I pushed him away.
“Sorry, I was wrong to blame you, come home. Mom and Dad miss you…‘
“Your sister is Anya, not me. You’ve always
liked her, so let me make room. Don’t bother
me again!”
Aaron turned pale. “We know Anya asked people to come!”
“She almost killed you, and we taught her a
lesson. Come home!”
I laughed and pointed at my throat.

“Anya? What lesson? I’ll take back what’s
mine!”
He said something, but I cut him off.
“Years ago, I saved you.”
He was shocked, and I showed him my scar.
“It was you!”
I put my clothes on. “You hurt your savior,
won’t you get struck by lightning?”
I pushed him out.
I cut ties with his company, but he didn’t ask

for damages.
I thought he was guilty, but he was just afraid.
He asked me not to expose Anya, but I
ignored him and joined my old teacher’s company.
He said I had writing skills and could still do well.
Anya didn’t have me to steal ideas from, and she faded.
A year later, I released a new song
“Metamorphosis.”

It included my journey, from anger to self-
doubt, but back to self.
After 3 days, it was at the top.
The listeners liked the melodies and lyrics.
They found out that I wrote and sang the
song.
Everyone was shocked.
They found out that I left Aaron’s company.
Someone found out what happened at my birthday and the boat, when I was 20 years old.

The fishermen were hired to lie.
It was the guy Aaron paid off.
He was rich and moved to the city.
He said he was rich because he hired the guy.
Everyone went after the Lancasters.
They asked my parents, and they were awkward.
Anya was mocked and lost her status as the
Lancasters‘ daughter.

Anya caused a fuss and forced Dad to do
what he promised.
He had to sing a song with her and outdo me.
Dad wouldn’t, so she said if he didn’t, she
would expose them and brother.
The family was shocked, and he did the song.
Anya reached for Dad and wanted to show affection, but he dodged her.
The reporters said she was disfavored.
Then, my song got good reviews, and
someone found it was similar to Anya’s song.

People doubted Anya’s abilities, and I told the
truth at the awards.
People believed it, because I talked about the
meaning of the song.
Anya couldn’t answer it.
Everyone asked Anya, and she couldn’t answer it.
My parents didn’t see and left her there.
Anya was trending, and my brother’s company didn’t clear it.
Anya got angry, and threatened him and my

parents that she would tell everyone.
My brother was angry and said it was for her,
and now she was threatening him.
Anya smiled and said she found the men.
She said if they didn’t want him to go to jail,
they needed to please her and give her all
resources.
Dad got a heart attack, and Anya said he was
an old fart and didn’t give her face.
The words gave Dad a heart attack.
Mom cried and wanted to send him to the

hospital, but it was too late.
After Dad died, Mom fainted from sadness.
My brother got mad and threw a cigarette at her and hit her, causing her to bleed.
She screamed and bit him, and said she
would call the police.
My brother lost control and killed her.
My brother was arrested and confessed.
He said he owed me, and paid me with his life.

My brother was executed, the same day Dad
died a month later.
Mom had a stroke and was sent to a nursing
home.
Nobody claimed Anya, and the fans hated her.
I inherited all of my parents and brother’s
belongings, and the will gave me everything.
But I still hated them and was happy they
suffered.
My new life was just beginning.
