All Chapters of The Late Heiress’ Memories: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

The basement door closed behind me promptly after I stepped down, and I shuddered for no reason at all.On second thought, I had nothing to fear now that I was dead. I glided toward the main entrance, determined to leave this nightmare of a place.To my dismay, I was blocked from leaving. In that moment, my numbed emotions seemed to stir back to life.I began to feel resentful and bitter, confused as to why my death couldn’t free me from this God-forsaken place.After 18 years of mistaken identity, I was found living among swine in a pigsty. A well-dressed woman in leather pumps approached me.The woman, her eyes wide with shock, drew close for a hug. However, the embrace was cut short when she stepped on a pile of pig manure.The village chief pulled me out of the squalor and tossed me a clean change of clothes. He then presented me to the beautiful woman, who turned out to be my mother.My father and brother stood next to my mother. I was told they were my family. The villager

My soul followed my body to the laboratory. Roger, Sandra, and Caleb caught up soon after. For legal reasons, the man in the lab coat took out a document and handed it to Roger.I drew closer for a look. It was a consent form for organ donation. I chuckled at the formality. Here I thought my family had no regard for the law.With a signature on the form, the man in the lab coat cracked my head open to remove my brain. Before I could get up close, my brain was dumped into a nearby apparatus.My family was given connectors. “Place this on your temple. It will sync with your brainwaves and allow you to experience the donor’s life from her viewpoint.”The trio eagerly attached the devices, and the machine worked its magic.I had lost interest by then. I had no desire to relive my past, but oddly enough, I could watch the scenes playing out in their minds.Their response when the secret was out about Casey’s true nature piqued my curiosity.I wondered if they would feel sorry or guil

Sandra and Caleb weren’t the only ones with ghastly looks on their faces. Even Roger, who had always held himself high and mighty, was visibly shaken.“What is wrong with this machine? What the hell is this?“Did Willow bribe you to set Casey up?”I read the pity in the scientist’s eyes. What was there to feel sorry about? I assumed the next memory was related to the video. Still, I was curious about their reaction to its content.Without another word, the scientist switched the memory to my school days with Casey.Casey had convinced Roger and Sandra to enroll me in her school, claiming it was for my own good.In mere days, I started coming home late at night. I hesitated to speak every time Roger and Sandra asked about it.This piece of memory boosted their confidence, assuring them they were in the right. Roger even crossed his legs.“There’s nothing more to this. I assigned them a driver for the school run. Even the driver said she would be out until late.”A loud bang int

Roger and Sandra transported my body back to the house, and my soul was forced to leave as well.Throughout the journey from the laboratory to the house, Sandra refused to loosen her grip on me.Roger called back the driver, who now found himself in my shoes. After enduring just two lashes, he confessed.Casey’s disappearance had been her own design, a ploy to manipulate Sandra and Roger into disowning me. She felt threatened by my return.Somewhere out there, Caleb was busy, while Sandra read stories to my corpse, and Roger forced Casey to reveal herself.The wealthy moved quickly. Soon, Casey was forced out of hiding. I watched with my hand propped under my chin, amused by the irony. If they had acted sooner, perhaps I wouldn’t have had to die.Casey had no idea that she was screwed. The plan was to appear after I was kicked out of the house, but she was robbed and harassed instead. Counting down the days, Casey prepared to return to the Carters’ residence. However, she was
