I was a year old when I tried to get some food from my sister's plate. My parents were so angry that they slapped me, rendering me deaf in my right ear. They also hated me until the day I died. They called me a monster that only knew how to take her sister's things. The day I learn I have a terminal illness, I call Mom and tentatively say, "I'm sick, Mom. The doctor said it's a brain tumor. Can you come to the hospital?" She sneers. "You're better off dead. I hope it happens quickly and that you're not at home when it does. I don't want to touch your body." I know they've always looked forward to my death. But when their wish finally comes true and their birth daughter dies, they lose their minds.

Chapter 1

When I received the diagnosis report for my brain tumor, Nicole was bombarding me with texts."I've got a pimple. Did you add extra sugar to the juice? You're dead meat.""Call Dr. Sarandon and drive me to the hospital in 15 minutes.""How dare you not reply to my messages? You're done for, Amber Olsen."Denise Sarandon was a dermatologist, and she had been my adopted sister's personal skincare doctor since she was young.I turned off my screen and stared blankly out the window. The doctor's words kept replaying in my mind, "You have glioblastoma, and it's already at stage four. Where is your family? You should ask them to come."In a few minutes, Nicole called me three times in a row after getting no reply from me still. I refused to pick up and silently counted down in my mind. "Three… Two… One…"Then, my mom, Maya Conelly—who initially had me blocked on her phone—called my number."You've gotten bold, Amber. Nicole's been texting and calling you. How dare you not pick up her

Chapter 2
That night, I didn't go home. I wasn't allowed to own a house key, and my mom wouldn't let anyone open the door for me.The next morning, my mom and Nicole were cozily eating breakfast together when I returned. My dad sat beside them, wearing glasses. He was carefully going over Nicole's medical records word by word.They looked like the perfect picture of a happy family of three.Standing at the door, I felt like a rat peeking out from the shadows of a sewer. I was witnessing a scene of happiness that would never belong to me.My mom noticed me and casually tossed me a car key. "Starting today, Nicole will be working at Olsen Corporation. You're responsible for driving her to and from work every day."Her driver? Why was Nicole their beloved daughter while I was only fit to be her chauffeur?I didn't make any move to catch the keys. I merely let the expensive keychain fall to the floor in front of me."What about Mr. Keller?" I asked about our driver, Chase Keller.The moment

Chapter 3
However, my mom's deep-rooted prejudice against me was just as real. Even after I had accepted the reality that my parents didn't love me, they still found countless ways to reinstate this truth over and over again.I opened my mouth but swallowed the words I wanted to say. No amount of explanation would change anything. All it would earn me was endless insults."Mom, I think Amber designed this necklace herself. Isn't it pretty? And the diamond—it seems to be made from the fur of that old cat of ours," Nicole said with feigned innocence."What?" My mom frowned in disgust. "That cat's been dead for such a long time. This necklace must be filthy. Throw it away, Nikki. I'll buy you ten better ones at the next auction, okay?""No!" I exclaimed inwardly.I didn't know where I found the strength, but I pushed past the maids holding me back and lunged forward to snatch the necklace from Nicole's hands."Ah!" Nicole let out a dramatic scream and pretended to fall to the ground.With a

Chapter 4
I hid my terminal illness from Renee.If she had known, she would've forced me to seek treatment, even if it meant taking out loans. But at this late stage, there was no possibility of curing it. Undergoing treatments would only waste money and what little time I had left.Using the money I had saved from tutoring, I took Renee on trips to different cities. From the deserts of the northwest to the water towns of Jeirnan, we explored it all.After our final stop, we returned and visited Mt. Purshore."I can't… I can't climb anymore. Let's… Let's rest for a bit." Renee gasped, her legs trembling as she slowly lowered herself onto a bench.She had barely caught her breath before she started chattering again, jumping from local news to international stories. Finally, she got to tales of her misogynistic relatives.In the end, she concluded firmly, "Parents like that will get their comeuppance sooner or later. Karma's real, and it won't spare them!"Renee always tried her best to com

Chapter 5
Dad adjusted his glasses, visibly irritated. "Playing the same trick once is annoying enough as it is. She's pulling the same trick again. What did she do to make you go along with her and help her deceive us?"The officer was exasperated as he replied, "Why would I joke about something like this? Your daughter's body was cremated! We even have the footage from the accident scene!"He then showed Dad and Mom the video. They glanced at the computer with impatient expressions, but as the footage played, they saw my figure clearly on the screen.At the end of the video, the ground—stained a dark red with blood—was littered with the mangled remains of my body.When the video ended, they were stunned. Unable to believe what they'd just seen, they grabbed the mouse and replayed the footage from the beginning.They watched it again. And again.After three times, Mom's legs trembled, and her breathing grew labored.Clutching Dad's sleeve tightly, her face contorted with desperation. "Th

Chapter 7
"It's the cancer's final stage, and it's pretty much incurable."Bryce's phone slipped out of his hand. His head was spinning.After a while, Bryce slowly regained consciousness. Blood trickled from a cut on his forehead that was made when he knocked his head against the marble tabletop earlier.With a glazed look in her eyes, Maya clutched the diary tightly to her chest. She fixed Bryce with a malevolent gaze as he stood up."Why didn't he just drop dead?" Maya hissed inwardly."Amber's ashes… That's right! Amber's ashes!" Bryce muttered to himself.His immense wealth was instrumental at times like these. In less than two hours, Bryce had arrived outside Renee's house and pressed the doorbell."Who is it?" Renee opened the door."I'm Amber's dad," Bryce said.Renee knitted her brows. She was about to shut the door right away."Wait!" Bryce stuck his hands in between the crack and tried to pull the door open. "I know you're Amber's friend. I'm here for her ashes. Can we pleas

Chapter 8
"Why?"Bryce and Maya placed the chat history, the proof of Nicole getting people to bully me in school, the surveillance footage recorded on February 10th, and the proof of her framing me for many other things on the table.They seemed angry and dejected. "Haven't we treated you well all this time? Yet, why did you do all these things to Amber?"Nicole was fiddling with her bracelet and checking her phone from time to time. When she finally received a message, Nicole crossed her legs and took a quick glance at the documents on the table."I thought you were never going to find out even until the end of your lives," she said.The system and I nodded in agreement."You can't really blame me for everything. It was your own choice how you wanted to treat Amber. Isn't it?"It was your own decision not to trust your daughter and even hit her."Just then, Leon hurried over and whispered something next to Bryce's ear.Bryce's expression changed from one of exhaustion to bewilderment.
