I Died on Valentine's Day Chapter 1
“Honey, I promised that I’d be with you on Valentine’s Day.”While walking home from school, I saw my brother’s fiancee, Erika Gibson, holding hands with a strange man and entering a hotel.“Babe, I’ve missed you so much these past three days.”I was in shock. I wanted to speak out, but I could not make a sound because I had autism.I was born while my parents were traveling with my brother, Nathan Clinton.That day, my mom’s water unexpectedly broke on the highway. So, my dad hit the gas pedal in a rush to the hospital.Unfortunately, they got into a car accident on the way, and my dad died instantly.My mom held on long enough to give birth to me.However, after she learned of my dad’s death, she had trouble coping and died from severe bleeding.Nathan was the only family I had left, but he hated me.I hated myself too.If I had not been born at such a bad time, maybe my parents would not have died.Additionally, Nathan would not have had to take over the family business
I Died on Valentine's Day Chapter 2
I stood outside the door, frozen, as Nathan slammed the door shut.He kicked me out because of Erika, but I did not know where to go.The lights from the houses behind me were all shining brightly. Sadly, not a single one was meant for me.My autism manifested when I was a kid due to Nathan’s cold attitude.Even after I started elementary school, I still could not speak. The teacher told Nathan to get me checked, and the doctor said that I was born with autism.Nathan sneered. “Autism? She’s just faking it for attention. I’m not going to pay her any attention. Let’s see how long she can keep up the act!”After that, he never got me any therapy or moved me to a special school.By the third grade, my classmates realized I never talked and always kept to myself. So, they began treating me like a weirdo.That was when the bullying in school started.I told Nathan about it, but he did not care. He said that I deserved it. “Think about it. People don’t bully for no reason. Why are

Harry stepped closer to me with a furious look. “Aren’t you supposed to be mute? Why couldn’t you keep quiet? Since you blabbed, I’ll take care of you for Erika!”I realized that Erika was the reason I was here.Harry gave me a hard slap, and blood dripped from my mouth. He started punching and kicking me like a crazy person.For a moment, I thought that he might actually kill me.Fortunately, one of the men behind him spoke up. “Harry, why are you hitting a little girl? If people find out, it won’t make us look good. Why don’t we make a bet for five hundred thousand?”Harry seemed interested. “Sounds fun. What’s the bet?”The man smiled meaningfully and replied, “It’s Valentine’s Day. Let’s see if she can sell 200 roses at the night market.”Everyone laughed in response. “Someone who can’t even talk selling flowers? Are you serious?”“Come on, man. You’re not planning on letting her go, are you?”I thought that I would be rescued, but I ended up in a worse situation inste
I Died on Valentine's Day Chapter 4
I picked up the flowers and tried not to look at Nicole.I thought that she would leave if she got bored.To my surprise, she tormented me even more. She yanked my hair and shouted, “I’m talking to you! Can’t you hear me? Moon, you’ve gotten really brave, huh? You won’t even nod or shake your head now!”I shook my head weakly, like I always did.Nicole smiled smugly and said, “Since you’re so pitiful, I’ll let it slide this time. How about this? Get on your knees, and I’ll buy all your flowers. Deal?”I looked at her pitifully and typed on my phone. [Please don’t make me do this.]Nicole scoffed. “Moon, you really don’t get it, do you? I’m actually doing you a favor. I’m helping you meet your sales goal. You should be grateful.”When I did not move, she got fed up. She stepped on my face and forced it against the cold ground. My forehead stung, probably because a sharp rock cut into it. Laughter filled my earpiece, and tears of shame ran down my face as Nicole rubbed her sho

Nathan had just finished showering with Erika when her phone rang.I looked at the caller ID—it was Harry.Nathan was curious, so he asked, “Who’s calling at this hour?”Erika stuttered, “I-It’s my best friend. She’s calling to plan our shopping trip for tomorrow.”Nathan believed her and lovingly said, “Okay, I’ll give you some money, then.”Erika faked a laugh and stepped out onto the balcony to take the call. She answered cautiously, “Didn’t I tell you not to call me when I’m home?”Harry sounded terrified on the other end. “Moon is dead… She… She’s dead… What are we going to do?” “What?” Erika gasped in shock. She glanced at Nathan, who was lying in bed, and whispered, “Are you out of your mind? I told you to teach her a lesson, not kill her. You’re asking me what to do? You’re the murderer!”It was absurd.They started to blame each other, but Harry stayed calm and said, “If something happens to me, you won’t be safe either! We’re in this together. Right now, you need to
I Died on Valentine's Day Chapter 6
The next morning, Nathan gave Erika a passionate kiss before he left for work.As soon as he was gone, Erika quickly packed her things and set a time with Harry to meet at the airport.I had to go to the company with Nathan, but the moment we arrived, reporters from different media outlets blocked our way.“Mr. Clinton, do you have any comments on your sister’s death?”“Mr. Clinton, we heard that you do charity work to help poor girls. Why did you make your sister sell roses on Valentine’s Day?”“Mr. Clinton, are you thinking about settling with the driver who killed your sister?”…I did not expect the people online to discover my identity so quickly.The live stream from that street interview even went viral. It had a huge number of shares.At first, Nathan was confused, but he soon realized that something was wrong.He checked his phone to look at our messages from yesterday.He saw that someone had sent him many messages showing proof of my identity. The same person had

Nathan brought a lot of people to the airport as if they were going to back me up.I used to wish that he would protect me like this, but not anymore. At this moment, the crowd felt noisy. I wanted to have some quiet time to myself.The driver drove fast and they got there just before Erika was about to board her flight.Spotting her from a distance, he ran up to her and pulled her out of the line.“You demon! You killed my sister, and you think you can just run away?!” Nathan shouted angrily and slapped her.Erika stubbornly denied everything and looked hurt. “Honey, what are you doing? I’m just going on a trip with my best friend. Are you crazy? Why did you hit me?”Their argument quickly drew the attention of airport security.To restore order at the airport, the security staff decided to take both of them to the police station to settle their dispute.This meant Erika had no chance of escaping.By the time they reached the station, Harry had already been caught by the poli
