When Zach returned that weekend, he managed to hide it well. There did not seem to be any problems with him on the surface.However, going through something like that was not easy. Zach started to become extra sensitive and cower at everything.That was normal. People like him had never faced many obstacles before. It made sense that he would become like this after meeting horrible people.However, it did not make much difference. Those who were able to walk out of there like Zach did would witness how perverted Larry would torture others and serve as a warning.All Zach did was watch the torture and he had been frightened into such a state.Back in my past life, I was the one who was almost always tortured in front of everyone.My mood got increasingly better every time I saw Zach cover himself up properly when he came home for the week.Three weeks had passed and it was time to end this.There was only a month left before the SATs and I had to prepare for the exams soon.Whe
I could hardly breathe as I watched the familiar setting from the dashcam. My hand trembled while I was moving the mouse.Zach appeared on screen next and my heart began beating again.This time, I would never return to that hopeless cellar.I spent the next few days watching the surveillance and putting the evidence together.After I was done with it, I knew it was time.The day came when John walked past my door and I quickly exclaimed. "Who is it?" As the footsteps got closer, I quickly found a place to hide in a fluster."What are you doing at home, Zara? Aren't you supposed to be in school?"Before I could answer, he saw the surveillance on my computer."What is this?" John walked quickly to my computer.After a few casual looks, the expression on his face changed and his body stiffened. I could feel anger surging from him.He looked at me sharply. His voice was hoarse when he spoke."How long have you known this? Why didn't you tell me about it? Can you really bear t
I could not help cursing at John. He could not even click on a simple button.It did not deter me as I calmly logged into John's social media account and posted the evidence.I felt great as I watched the evidence get traction with more and more likes and shares.It was worth spending money on professional cyber troopers. They did a good job."Alright. Got it. You can leave!"After I was done posting the evidence, I clicked on the last video shared with me.John had just parked his car in the video and was about to cross the road.The screen suddenly turned in another direction. A van without a license plate came speeding toward John and knocked him flying.There was a loud crash and John flew off quite a distance before falling to the ground.The van sped up after hitting John and ran over him as he struggled to stand. It backed up to run over John one more time.After a few times of running over John, his body became a complete mess.The van stopped next to John for a minu
I looked around in astonishment. The room was familiar.When I saw what I was wearing, I was taken aback. I was used to being undressed since Larry Sanders took me away."Stop putting up an act, Zara Livingston. You should be honored I'm using your money. Only you would cherish such pitiful possessions."Aren't you good at getting money from scholarships? It's mine this time. I've got my eyes on a pair of shoes."An overbearing voice snapped me out of my reverie.I looked and saw Zach Livingston.Zach was my twin brother.He was a happy-go-lucky and gentlemanly young man with a bright demeanor on the surface.However, his true personality was extremely vain and prideful. He even had a horrible temper.I suddenly remembered that this was not long after the last semester of junior year started.The scholarship money from the last semester had just been distributed, and Zach wanted me to give him the money.He beat me up because I refused to hand it over.I lowered my head and
They were my father and twin brother, after all.That was why when my father told me to attend a dinner with him for school, I agreed without hesitation in my last life."The people attending the dinner will decide if you come or go. You can't offend them. Remember to treat them nicely."This school is giving you an opportunity because you had good exam results. Remember to present yourself well during the dinner, understand?"I looked at my father intently and replied with expectation."Yes, Dad. I'll make sure to grab the opportunity."The dinner ended well, and I thought I could continue going to school."Go home first, Zara. I have further discussions with everyone. I'll be home later."Don't forget to go to Mr. Sander's house. He's the principal and you should spend time with his wife when you can.""Alright, Dad. I'll go home first."I went home excitedly as I looked forward to continuing my studies.The next day, I looked at the luxurious mansion in front of me with t
Zach slapped me the moment he came home after school."Zara Livingston, did you buy bootleg shoes for me on purpose to make me look like a fool in front of everybody?" Zach looked darkly at me."No, I didn't. I really did buy it from the link you gave me. You can check my cell if you don't believe me."I quickly showed my cell to him."Could this store have delivered a bootleg copy of the shoes?""That's impossible. That's the official store. They wouldn't sell bootleg shoes.""I have no idea how it happened."Hah! How could I have no idea? I was the one who made the switch.Many people loved those shoes. If I sold it online, it would be sold in a heartbeat.I looked cautiously at Zach."Why don't you buy another pair? You can say that Tom Scanlon made a mistake and made you think your shoes were fake. You can head to the official store to prove that your shoes are real.""But I don't have any money left. Do you still have money from your scholarship?""I don't have any m
I wanted Zach to become the laughingstock of the school.He had come up with a plan to get Tom to have this way with me and get caught.After that, he used his status as my brother to admit that Tom and I were in a relationship. It got me expelled.Now that I caused him to get beaten up by John, Zach must hate me even more.I had to be prepared.Thursday afternoon was phys ed. That was the day when Zach framed me.I had just returned to my seat and was planning to pack up and get to phys ed when my classmate, who sat next to me, called out."Zara! Zach Livingston stopped by and went through your cell. Be careful. He looked like he was up to no good."I looked at her in surprise. She had not warned me about this in my past life. I figured this out by checking the messages on my cell after I got expelled."Got it. I might need your help again. Can you help me take note of what time Zach was here?""Sure. I'll do that."Even my classmate got more adorable after I returned to th
A student passed the recorder to the assistant principal.He played the recording.There was begging and the sound of struggling. Even Tom's crude words were heard.The assistant principal got increasingly angry as he heard the recording. His chest kept heaving from the anger."How dare you, Tom Scanlon?! How dare you force a fellow student into something like this in school?""No, I didn't. Zara Livingston was the one who invited me here. She didn't even fight back. That recording is fake."Tom dragged me anxiously toward the assistant principal."What happened?"The teacher who was outside the building came running in as well.He was quickly pulled aside by the phys ed teacher, who explained what happened.The teacher said in surprise, "Why don't we just look at the cameras?"Everyone turned to look at him."A student lost something here a few days ago and we quickly fixed the security cameras."There was a loud thud and a voice spoke up from the other side."Let's chec

I had just applied for a day of absence from the school when I saw them talking at the roadside with their backs against me.When I quietly got closer, I heard John giving instructions to Zach."Don't speak so much while we're there. Remember to hold back your temper and be good."Hah! It was a good arrangement but useless.A proud, unbridled young boy like Zach was the perverted Larry's favorite thing.When I was caged up in my past life, I saw Larry torture numerous boys.Compared to girls, he preferred boys better, especially when they were proud and arrogant."I'm here, Dad." I took a few steps back and pretended I had just arrived.John looked at me and immediately asked me a question."What's wrong with your face?""My classmate gave me some snacks which contained mango. I got an allergic reaction from it."Maybe I shouldn't go with you, Dad. My face is covered in rashes. It won't be great to show up like this."John looked at me suspiciously. He wanted to ask further
"No," I replied without hesitation."If you knew how Zach was given a demerit, you'll realize that we aren't in cohorts at all."How are you planning to teach him a lesson?" I looked at Tom curiously."Beat him up, of course."I shook my head. "You're letting him off too easy. Isn't it better to get him expelled?"No one would go against you in school anymore once that happens."Getting into a fight is a good reason to get him right now. It should be easy for a family like yours to get him pinned with a heavier punishment on the foundation of his current wrongdoing.""Of course."Just like that, we became temporary allies.It took only a few days for the plan to yield results.Zach was expelled from school for fighting with his classmates by getting outside help. …I had a dream.In the dream, it felt like I had returned to the moment I died in my past life.Larry had my body sent to a crematorium that worked with him.He even got my father, John, to come and pick up my
