Dad didn’t look at me.
I answered, “Before my brother died, I saw his
blood type on a medical report. He was type
AB, and you and Mom are both type A. Type A
and type A can’t have a child with type AB.
I didn’t understand it then, but I realized my
brother wasn’t Mom’s biological son.
I told Mom, but she didn’t believe me. I went to
Dad’s hometown.
I tracked my Dad’s old hometown address and
made my way to Dad’s house.
After a few times asking here and there, Dad
had been married before, and had a son.
But his ex–wife died the second day the child
was born.”

Mom couldn’t believe it. “You said my brother
wasn’t my child? What happened to my first
child?”
She grabbed Dad. “Where’s my baby? What did
you do with my baby?”
Dad pushed Mom away and glared at me.
“You’re just making things up!”
This happened twenty years ago. He was sure
the police couldn’t solve it.
- 13.
I said calmly, “I know you won’t admit it. It’s
been too long. My brother’s dead, his mother’s
dead, Uncle Frank’s dead.
Dad looked at me with complicated expression:
“I am your real dad, but why do you set my life
end for good?”
I took out a file for him to look at hut he didn’t
I took out a file for him to look at, but he didn’t
want to.
I told him, “I organized all the information. I was
going to get you a lawyer, but that’s not
necessary anymore.”
I handed all the evidence to the police.
The officer was amazed. “What’s your major?”
“Teaching.”
He looked at the documents and me again.
Mom was crying and asking Dad where her first
child was.
The officer said to Dad, “We have enough
evidence here. Tell the truth, or you’re in big
trouble. I’m not kidding.”

Dad looked blank, then he said slowly,
“Sweetie’s first child was a girl. I threw her in
the trash, and she probably froze to death.”
Mom fainted. I caught her, and she clutched her
chest, struggling to breathe. “You’re a
monster!”
Dad asked me coldly, “Are you happy now? You
had to ruin me. Your mother’s not going to live
much longer. Soon, you won’t have a father or a
mother. Is that what you wanted?”
I asked him, “Did you want to get rid of my
mom so that you’re with that Aunt Carol?”
I paused, then laughed.
“No, you did this, you did that to get with Lisa,
you were with her to kill the first wife.”
Mom cried. “That’s why you never took me back
to your hometown. You ruined my life.”
to your hometown. You ruined my life.”
Lisa and Brittany were confused. They didn’t
know Dad had a dead first wife.
I took out a diagnosis report and showed it to
everyone.
“It’s not my mother who has late–stage cancer.
It’s Brittany.”
Brittany stared at me. “You’re a liar! You’re the
one with cancer. You’re going to die!”
Mom said, “When you saw the word ‘cancer‘ on
the report, you asked who it was for. I didn’t
want you to be scared, so I lied. I raised a
monster.”
Brittany was shocked. Lisa grabbed the report
and started crying.
“My Brittany will be fine!”

The live stream had over a million viewers, and
the comments were flying.
“This guy is crazy. He killed his wife and his
kids. He should rot in hell.”
“Brittany has cancer. That’s karma.”
“Ashley is amazing. She got justice for her
mom. We need to stand up to people like this.”
Later, the police took Dad and Lisa away.
Soon, the verdict came down. Dad and Lisa
were sentenced to death for premeditated
murder.
Two months later, Brittany died. She jumped off
a building because she couldn’t handle the pain.
Three years later, Justin and I got married. Mom
moved on and found another partner.
When the weather was nice, Justin and I would
buy groceries and visit them.
Our family would eat together and talk, and we
would be very happy …….
