Because of the kidnapping, the whole family
was under suspicion, and the cops hauled
them in.
Tiffany huddled in a corner, the slap marks on
her face still stinging.
く
Mom was mumbling my name over and over,
lost in her own world.
Dad sat there, rubbing his face, glaring at
Tiffany.
Tiffany, never able to read the room, tried to
weasel her way out of the situation.
“Mommy, Daddy, my face hurts!”
“Dad, you guys love me so much, you never hit me. But tonight, you beat me up because of Sarah. But wasn’t I always your sweet daughter?”

Dad let out a bitter laugh.
But then, he had a hard time thinking as his
mind was taken by my disappearance.
He eventually said to Tiffany, “It’s true that
when we took you in, it was mostly for our
own benefit.”
“You were pretty, had a certain…class. You
looked like what people expected from the
heir to a company like ours.”
“Your sister, Sarah, got burned in a fire that
was our fault. It messed up her face. She
wasn’t ugly, but…it wasn’t the look we

wanted.”
“But that doesn’t mean we didn’t love her!”
“The thing that we wanted was to show you off in front of our big investors and clients, with Sarah helping behind the scenes.”
“We were so blinded by you because you were so pretty and beautiful, we were blinded by what we were doing! How can you do this to us? It wasn’t your fault, you were only our doll.
Dad stood up, staring at Tiffany. “I swear to God, if something happens to Sarah, I’m going to strangle you with my bare hands. In

the end, you are just a substitute!”
The words felt like a punch in the chest to
Tiffany.
The identity that she had been showing off
was just a replacement in the end.
The person she had been mocking was just
another substitute.
The huge hit made it hard to react.
But even more, there was a fear inside her.
If something happened to Sarah, she would
definitely be killed.

The family spent an awful night as the door
was opened up.
A cop walked in and said to them.
“The blood wasn’t even human blood, and it
was from an animal, so it means that Sarah
might still be alive.”
“Also, we have found a lead that suggests that Sarah’s cell signal was still active, but on the way to Mexico, we are trying to trace her!”
Mom regained her hope as she knelt down.
“Thank you God! My daughter is going to be

safe.
Dad had a smile.
