Tonight Daddy said he was going out with Auntie Benita, and Mommy didn’t fight him about it. She had a handkerchief balled up in her hand, soaked through with the blood she kept coughing up. I knew Mommy was going to heaven soon. That was how Grandpa told me it would be, back when Grandma coughed up blood like this. Daddy looked at Mommy, narrowed his eyes, and his voice went cold. “Isa needs a whole family. A smart woman learns to look the other way.” Mommy didn’t shield me and argue back the way she used to. She just said, softly, “Fine. I’ll charge by the visit. Every night you spend with her is one million.” Daddy laughed and wired her the money. After that night, Daddy went out a lot, and every time, Mommy reminded him to send the money. Mommy got so thin that her cheeks caved in, but her eyes were still bright. She took me lots of places, introduced me to lots of people, and made me write my own name over and over. She said she was going to leave everything to me. I held her tight. “I don’t want your things, Mommy. I just want you.”

Daddy finished watching the video I gave him.It was as if his spine had been pulled out of him. Inch by inch, he sank down into his chair.“I didn’t know.”His words fell from his lips like ash. “I didn’t know. I looked into it, but I found nothing.”With shaking hands he opened a drawer in his desk and took out a picture frame.I raised an eyebrow.It was a photo of Mommy.She was still young in it, her eyes not yet eaten away by grief.Daddy ran his fingers over the photo, and his tears fell, landing on the frame.After thirteen years, he finally wept for her, tears of regret.But through that thin pane of glass, she couldn’t feel them.Thank God she couldn’t.“Isa, I never imagined it would turn out this way.”“I was a fool back then, and I cheated on her, but I still had love for your mother.”“What Don doesn’t have a string of mistresses? I only made the mistake any ordinary man makes.”“Right, Isa? Otherwise, why would I have brought in the medical team?”“It’s all Benita’s faul

Over two years, I followed the plan and collected plenty of evidence of the Guerrero family’s crimes.It wasn’t hard. Marco Guerrero’s study had no defenses against me.He believed family doesn’t betray you.He didn’t know I never thought of him as family.On my eighteenth birthday, everything was ready.Grandpa and I were going to strike the killing blow.We waited until Benita went out alone, and Grandpa kidnapped her and took her to an abandoned factory.When Grandpa pulled the gag out of her mouth, she started cursing.“You old bastard, do you know who I am? I’m the Donna of the Guerrero family. You dare kidnap me?”Grandpa fired a shot into the air, and she went quiet instantly.Bullets really are more persuasive than reason.“I have good reason to believe you sent the gunman who killed Mommy.”I stepped out of the shadows, my voice cold.“That day, no one but you and Daddy knew we were going to the lawyer’s office.”“You were the first to react to the shot, and you held Daddy bac

Back at the beach house, Grandpa asked me to walk with him along the shore.We walked in silence for a long time before Grandpa finally spoke.“Everyone has the right to choose. But—”He turned his head, and his eyes seemed to see straight through me. “Are you certain?”I didn’t rush to answer. I thought about it, hard.Eleven years.The blind anger inside me had turned into clear, sharp hatred.In that estate, no one remembers Mommy anymore.She is like a raindrop soaked into the mud, with not a trace of her left.The maids, the cooks, the drivers, they forgot the old lady of the house long ago, and they all revolve around Benita now.Daddy kept Mommy’s room the way I asked.But it is only a specimen, with no life in it.Every time I see Benita strutting through the estate, my heart starts to ache.By what right? By what right does she get to have everything that should have been Mommy’s?And Daddy, except for today, has never once mentioned Mommy.Maybe he is afraid that mentioning h

Mommy has been dead eleven years, and I’m sixteen now.For eleven years, I have gone back to the estate every week.Every time, I shut myself in Mommy’s room and stay there all day long.The room is kept the way it was when she was alive.The clothes she wore still hang in the closet, like a silent forest.I like to open the closet door and curl up inside.Mommy’s clothes wrap around me, like her arms.Today I fell asleep in the closet and dreamed about when I was little.I dreamed about when Mommy was still alive, the two of us together.The dream started out golden like watered-down honey.Then it slowly turned pink, until it became blood red.In the end, a gunshot in the dream jolted me awake.Now I understand.My childhood died years ago, with Mommy, in that one gunshot.I wiped off a cold sweat and went to the bathroom to splash my face.“Isa, why are you so pale? Are you all right?”Daddy’s worried voice came from behind me.I didn’t look at him. “I’m fine. Just had a dream,” I s

Mommy asked the teacher to excuse us and called a taxi.Daddy turned his face away and talked loudly to Auntie Benita on purpose.“I’ll take you home. Go pack your things.”He paused, his eyes cutting over to Mommy.“Benita, you’re moving into the estate today.”Auntie Benita covered her mouth and j

For the kindergarten field trip, both Daddy and Mommy came.But Auntie Benita came too, and I didn’t understand why.The teacher had only said parents could come.When we lined up, the rowdy boys circled around me.“Isabella’s got two mommies! One takes Isa, one takes Bella.”The teacher stopped the

The room got really awkward.Everyone kept sneaking looks at Daddy and Auntie Benita, afraid to make a sound.Daddy gave me a vicious stare.His eyebrows pushed up and then squeezed together, like a heavy mountain pressing down on my head.I didn’t know whether I had said something wrong, and I didn

Something dripped onto my face, and it was cold.I looked up and saw that Mommy was crying.“Isa, I’m so sorry. I only have three more months with you.”Before Grandma left, she had smiled and said she was going up to heaven to be an angel.Mommy must be going there too.That was all right. There wa
