Chapter 1

Lately, I’ve been plagued by headaches, sometimes even fainting in the streets. When I finally got my test results from the hospital, it felt like my heart plummeted into an ice-cold abyss. A deadly brain tumor, they told me. Not common at all. If I didn't get help right away, I might only have two months to live. But I was just 23. Two months – that was all I've got left.How was I supposed to tell my mother?With a heart weighed down by the news, I stepped into the house that was supposed to be mine. The moment I opened the door, I was greeted by the sight of my mother and her adopted daughter, Leisha Ward, inseparable like glue, the picture of a loving family. And me? I was just an outsider in this home.“Where have you been? Why are you back so late? Are you planning to let your sister starve? She’s not in good health! Get in there and make dinner!”“Yes, Mom!”She didn't even seem to see the medicine bag I had. Or maybe she saw it and just didn't care. I slowly made my way t

Chapter 2

When I woke up again, I found myself thrown into a small room in the basement where the servants lived. The floor was wet, with water seeping through, and the paint on the walls was peeling off.In this cold, damp space, every brick and every drop of water seemed to mock my fate.Ever since my sister’s death, I had become nothing more than an invisible ghost in this house.I watched as Leisha, with her smug face drenched in jewels and riches, basked in the luxury of the bedroom that once belonged to me. Meanwhile, I struggled to scrape together even the most basic funds for surgery and medical treatment.And Leisha? She could just wait patiently for me to donate my kidney to her!I stumbled and scraped together all the money I had saved over the years from a life of frugality. Those bills, stained with sweat and tears, were handed over for the first installment of my treatment. After the treatment, I spent two days in the hospital.But when I returned home, there was no concern over

Chapter 3

But what they didn’t know was that this time, after being locked away in that damp basement, I truly died.My soul drifted lightly through this world, like a wisp of smoke, silent and unseen. I watched my mother and Leisha laughing together by the seaside, the sunlight bathing them in a warm, golden glow as if blessing them with its light. Meanwhile, I was nothing more than a speck of dust in a forgotten corner of the world, untouched by even the faintest ray of sunshine."Sweetheart, do you like this necklace? Go ahead, buy it," my mother said, her face filled with affection for Leisha.The necklace, glittering with diamonds, sparkled even brighter under the sun."Thank you, Mom!" Leisha replied, delighted as she took the necklace, but then, as if struck by a sudden thought, she added, "Oh, by the way, Mom, what do you think Sarah is up to now? Should we video call her to show her the beautiful seaside?"Her innocent suggestion carried a hint of mockery.Hearing those words, I felt

Chapter 4

I watched from above as the two of them enjoyed their carefree lives until my mother received a call from the hospital. The compatibility test had been successful—I could donate my kidney to Leisha. Mom told Leisha to call me and tell me to get ready for the surgery as soon as they got back. But no matter how many times Leisha tried calling, no one answered. Of course, that was because I was dead. How could I possibly pick up the phone?"Mom, Sarah isn't answering! Do you think she doesn’t want to donate her kidney to me? Mom, I’m so scared..." Leisha whimpered, pretending to cry on my mother's shoulder, her face wet with fake tears."That useless thing can't even answer a phone! Who knows where she's gone? When I get a hold of her, I swear I'll make her pay!" Mom's voice echoed angrily through the seaside villa, her frustration growing with each unanswered call, each one only adding more fuel to her fiery rage."She's probably tired of living!" Leisha stood to the side, her brow fu

Chapter 5

At that moment, my mother was silent on the phone for a moment before exploding into an even fiercer rage. "Dead? Don't try to fool me! How could she be dead? When Laura died, she didn't have the decency to die with her. If she were going to die, she'd have done it long ago, not waited until now!"She screamed hysterically, ordering Leisha to keep listening to the call."Tell Zoe to search the room thoroughly! She's probably just faking it to avoid responsibility."Despite her fear, the housekeeper obeyed and returned to search the room. After confirming the situation, she reported back again."Ma’am... there's no mistake. If you don't believe me, you can call the police!" Her voice echoed in the dark, empty room.There was a long silence on the other end of the line."She's just pretending, thinking I’ll forget the past. I'll call the police myself!" my mother snapped, her harsh words becoming the last thing I would ever hear from her, even after leaving this world.When the police a

Chapter 6

As she turned to leave the morgue, my mother tossed a final remark over her shoulder, "Let us know when everything is handled." Throughout the entire process, there wasn’t a trace of grief or hesitation on her face. She looked almost relieved as if she had finally solved a long-standing problem. Leisha stood there, stunned, tears streaming down her face, her emotions a tangled mess with nowhere to go. And my spirit, like a breeze-blown shadow, wavered in the air, never receiving the motherly love I had longed for but had never felt. If I hadn’t died, Leisha might never have shown her true colors.Back at home, my mother carried on as if nothing had happened. "Sweetheart, what would you like for dinner tonight? I'll make it for you." Her voice carried an unexpected hint of tenderness.In another time, this scene would have made my younger self feel blessed. But now, it just felt absurd.Leisha stood there, stunned for a few moments before finally snapping out of it. "Mom... I'm,

Chapter 7

Leisha crept out of her room like a thief, moving quietly and carefully. She slipped into the study, and once she was certain no one was watching, she swiftly opened the safe, took out some documents, and photographed them. The whole process was fluid as if she had done it countless times.The next morning, she feigned weakness and said to my mother, “Mom… I need to go to the hospital for dialysis today. Could you transfer me another hundred thousand dollars?”“Of course!” my mother agreed without hesitation and quickly completed the transaction.Not long after, Leisha changed into a lavish outfit and headed straight to the nearest upscale shopping mall. Inside, she selected a few of the latest designer bags and then called my mother. “Oh, these bags are so beautiful! But it’s so sad to think I might not have much time to enjoy them…”“Don’t be sad, my dear!” my mother immediately comforted her. “If you like them, buy them! Money is not an issue.”After completing the purchase, Leis

Chapter 8

But no matter how much I struggled, I could only pass through the air. What was once a warm and happy home had now turned into a place of shadows and fear, growing more eerie and sinister in the darkness. Every corner seemed to whisper of the crimes and betrayals that had occurred.My sister died so unjustly. She just wanted to show off her new friend, not knowing that this very friend would be the one to cause her death. And I, all these years, had been wracked with guilt over her death. If only I had held on to her that day, she wouldn’t have died.If Laura hadn’t died, my mother wouldn’t have hated me for over a decade, mistaking this venomous woman for her precious daughter.I wanted to tear Leisha apart, to see her suffer endlessly!In the days that followed, my mother became busier than ever. Her company, once a market leader, was now under threat as Leisha extended her toxic grip over the family business. She secretly sold company secrets, leaking project information to com

Chapter 9

Leisha boasted loudly in the restaurant as if she could already see herself holding a fortune in her hands. The person sitting across from her looked skeptical, "Miss Ward, I just don’t understand why you would destroy the company your mother worked so hard to build."A flicker of contempt crossed Leisha’s eyes. “She doesn’t deserve to be called my mother!”Those words struck my mother’s heart like a heavy blow as she listened from behind the door. Anger and disappointment surged within her, and she could no longer contain her fury and shock. She pushed the door open and burst in.“Leisha! What do you mean by this? Are you really trying to drive our family business into the ground?” my mother demanded, her voice trembling.But the girl who had once been so sweet and innocent now looked at her with nothing but a cold smile. “Oh, my dear ‘mom’—” Leisha drawled mockingly, dragging out the words.“What proof do you have that I’m selling company secrets? Empty accusations won’t hold up, y

Chapter 10

“All these years... has everything I’ve done for you been nothing but a burden and cruelty to you?” My mother’s strength finally gave way, and she sank to the floor, burying her face in her hands, her sobs breaking the silence.Leisha looked at her, a strange feeling flickering in her heart—perhaps a sliver of sympathy, the kind that a victor might fleetingly feel for the defeated. But she quickly looked away. “Remember this day,” she sneered, her voice filled with mockery and contempt. “Remember the humiliation and helplessness of being utterly destroyed by your so-called love and expectations.”I reached out, wanting to touch my mother's hair, but there was nothing I could do.The room fell into a tense silence once more, like the calm before a storm. My mother sat on the floor, her head in her hands, weeping bitterly. Her trembling body and broken sobs felt jarringly out of place in what was supposed to be a home filled with warmth.“Sarah… Sarah…” she kept repeating my name, ea
