Chapter 10
Everyone was calling me an ungrateful, heartless traitor, accusing me of repaying kindness with hatred and disregarding all morals.
The insults flooded social media and my personal account was bombarded with so much hate it got suspended.
I didn’t know who leaked my phone number, but before I could even file a complaint, my phone was bombarded with abusive calls, one after another.

By dawn, the noise outside finally stopped and I was able to get some rest.
The next day, when I went to the hospital to collect my test results, I noticed people giving me strange looks.
I turned on my phone and saw that the hateful trending topics from last night had been taken down.
In their place were stories of how my parents had abused me for years. Teachers and classmates from my childhood came forward to defend me, setting the record straight.

“All these years, we’ve been feeding you like you were a dog!”
My mother was so enraged her face twisted in fury. “Sarah, listen to me–whether you like it or not, you WILL take the blame for your sister!”
“You really think you can marry into the Miles Family just because you’re pregnant? Dream on! The one who slept with Mr. Miles that night was your sister and you, you bastard, need to be terminated!”
