Sabine POV“How could you?” I breathed, tears falling from my eyes as my body trembled.“How could I do what, Sabine? Kill your parents? Betray you? Stop worshipping the ground you walk on? Sorry, but you’ll have to be a little more specific if you want answers.” She spat the words.“They loved you…” I whispered. The tears I couldn’t control chased each other down my cheeks. “My parents treated you like their own. I treated you like my blood sister—”Her face became a mask of hatred and I finally saw the twisted soul inside her. “Don’t give me that bullshit! You never treated me like your sister. I lived practically in your shadow. You flaunted your perfect life, perfect family, perfect title in front of me every chance you got. And as if that wasn’t enough, I was supposed to be grateful that the almighty Varela family had taken me in. Deep down, all you thought was that I was dog shit on your shoes!”My voice rose to a shout. “So you killed my parents—the ones who raised you—just bec

Sabine POVThe heart monitor beeped steadily in the background while Dominic waited for my answer.I knew nothing about acting, but I realized I would never leave this hospital room alive if I couldn’t give him a convincing lie.Putting on a confused expression I hoped looked genuine enough, I said, “My past?”“Yes,” Dominic said patiently. His large hands twitched on the bed sheet and he leaned closer, his eyes boring into my soul. “The last time you had an accident, you lost your memory. For some people, having another experience like an accident helps them remember. I was wondering if that was the case for you.”I shook my head slowly and winced even though I felt no pain right then. I lightly touched my bandaged head.“I still don’t remember,” I said, letting just the right amount of sadness and regret seep into my voice. “The past… is still a blank.”Dominic’s shoulders relaxed. He began to exhale but caught himself in time. This time the smile reached his eyes.“Don’t worry, dar

Sabine POVI groaned and shifted, my eyes opening slowly.My senses were immediately assaulted by a mix of sights and smells. I caught the slightly unpleasant odor of drugs and disinfectant.The pale blue curtains and white walls told me I was definitely in a hospital and not dead. I moved again and felt a pinch. Looking down, I saw an IV line connected to my arm.“You’re awake.”I turned at the sound of the voice and saw Dominic rising from a chair by the window. He walked toward me, a smile on his lips.But the sight of his face triggered the memories that had come rushing back like a flood when I crashed.I remembered everything.———**Flashback**“This is the autopsy report you requested,” said Dr. Sam, my parents’ physician, as he handed me the thin folder.I was already opening it as I sank into a chair, my lips moving silently while I read.A chill crashed down my spine when I reached the end of the document and found the words “Death by drug poisoning” staring back at me.I st

Sabine POVThe red stain of blood glistened against my pale skin.I flinched at the sting of the needle as the doctor pulled it out and pressed a small wad of cotton to the injection site.“How are you feeling, Luna Sabine?” the doctor asked while stripping off his gloves.“I’m fine,” I answered automatically.He paused, searching my face. “You don’t look fine.”I sighed. Was it that obvious that I really didn’t feel well?“Luna?”“It’s the headaches again,” I blurted, then exhaled. “They’re getting worse. Sometimes it feels like my head is splitting open and then…”I closed my eyes and saw the faces that appeared every night. A chaotic swirl of them in my dreams, rushing toward me so fast that one feature melted into another.“And then?” the doctor prompted.I continued.“The nightmares,” I said, my voice dropping to a whisper. “They happen every night. I see people… things I can’t describe, and then I wake up. When I fall back asleep, it’s the same thing again.”The doctor’s pen scr
