Chapter 7
My mother’s hand cracked across my face the moment she saw me.]
“You shameless bitch! How dare you drag our family through the mud online?“]
“Didn’t you promise to disappear after the abortion? This is how you thank us for raising you?!“]
I laughed, feeling the sting on my cheek. “Funny, I didn’t realize your parenting package included sending five men to rape
“Again and again–have you ever once treated me like a human being?”
“None of this was my fault!!“]
My scream echoed through the room, earning me another vicious slap from each parent.[]
Dad leaned in, “Everyone online is calling you the monster you are. You still think you’re innocent?”
I clenched my teeth tightly, gazing on them. “You both know exactly what happened that night.“[]
was the only one kept in the dark!“[]
me!”
When the truth came out, my brother ran–cut all ties with you. You were devastated, but you couldn’t stand losing both children, so you kept me around.“[]
“Then you fed me your sick little lie that ‘nothing happened.“”[]
“I was drugged out of my mind that night! My memories were fragments! I actually believed your bullshit!“[]
“But then-” my voice cracked, “I got pregnant!“]
“With my own brother’s baby!“]]
My parents froze for a while, then suddenly lunged toward me again.]]
This time, I caught my mother’s wrist mid–air. “What did I do wrong?!”
“HE drugged ME. HE violated ME. HE ran when you caught him! And YOU LIED TO ME!”
“Why am I paying for everyone else’s sins?“]
Moin’s face twisted with rage. “You’ve completely lost your mind.“]
“No,” I whispered with a bitter smile. “You’re the ones who lost mind.“]
The second you saw those test results, you knew. The blood type didn’t match. Jake and I could never produce a baby with that blood type. You knew I was carrying my brother’s child.”
“When Jake saw the report, he was certain that something had indeed happened between my brother and me, and that I was carrying his child.”
He felt humiliated Betrayed. He wanted us both dead.“[]
“And you two?” I laughed “You found me disgusting and wanted me dead. Maybe you even thought if I disappeared, he might come crawling back to you?“]
1 exhaled with difficulty
My trembling breaths seemed to tug at my internal organs, causing pain everywhere
Back then, I couldn’t face it. Couldn’t say it. Couldn’t even think it. I hated myself more than anyone.]
But what crime had I communed?
Main gritted her teeth, her eyes menacing “You’ve gone completely insane, spinning these sick fantasies.“]
We’re having you committed
I laughed–the same old threat. But this time, it wouldn’t work.
As she finished speaking reporters and police officers emerged from hiding places throughout the room!]
Moms jaw dropped. “You’re taking the word of this delusional woman?
Chapter 7
I met her gaze coldly. “Surprise, Mom. My brother already confessed.”
Mom stood frozen before erupting into hysterical laughter. “YOU LITTLE WHORE! You seduced my precious son!“]]
Her screams echoed as officers dragged her away.
In reality, my brother hadn’t confessed at all. The truth had emerged from a simple bluff.
The internet exploded as the full story came to light.
People were horrified–condemning my parents for sheltering their son while torturing his victim.]
My parents were jailed pending trial.]]
Then came the day no one expected–my brother showed up in court.
My parents‘ faces lit up when they saw him enter. Their cherish son, returning to visit them.[]
Instead, he pulled out a knife.[]
“You stupid, worthless, old fucks!” he screamed, lunging forward. “You had to keep dragging this out? They doxxed me! I have nowhere left to hide because of YOU!”
My parents‘ expressions shifted from joy to disbelief to nothing at all as they collapsed, their son’s knife buried in their chests.
Soon after, my brother received the death penalty.
Rachel and I created an online support community, thanking those who stood by me.[]
We encouraged sexual assault survivors everywhere to speak their truth.
The male journalist who’d rushed to judgment without facts, he was fired and investigated.
As for Jake? After the hospital terminated him, he became the town pariah. No woman would touch him with a ten–foot pole, let alone marry him.[]
Me? I poured everything into rebuilding my life.

A bright future was waiting for me.
