Chapter 11

As for Vanessa, after she was sent to the alley, it didn't take long for her mind to go.

The last I heard of her was two years ago. She was riddled with disease and had been abandoned on the side of a road, her body already decomposing. Someone said she made it to a bridge one rainy night and threw herself into the river. By the time they pulled her out, the fish had left nothing recognizable behind.

  • Dad and Brother’s Regret After Mom Left   Chapter 11

    As for Vanessa, after she was sent to the alley, it didn't take long for her mind to go.The last I heard of her was two years ago. She was riddled with disease and had been abandoned on the side of a road, her body already decomposing. Someone said she made it to a bridge one rainy night and threw herself into the river. By the time they pulled her out, the fish had left nothing recognizable behind.No one came to claim her. She was processed as a Jane Doe and sent to a medical school for dissection, the only useful thing she ever did.Vanessa's foster parents didn't fare much better. The Carter Group boxed them in at every turn and the Bennett Group didn't last long. The money ran out, the company collapsed, and the debts piled up.I took back the house and every property that had been given to them.Her foster mother knelt in front of me and begged, crying and wiping her nose."Sandra, I'm your grandmother! You can't do this to me!"I looked down at her face. It meant nothing to me.

  • Dad and Brother’s Regret After Mom Left   Chapter 10

    Dad walked out. Vanessa's parents erupted in curses behind him.His own parents had never liked the Bennetts. They called the housekeeper over and had them thrown out.Dad wanted everyone who'd hurt Mom to pay for it. That was his revenge. But it was only the beginning.He had made a vow in front of her grave. Every person who had hurt her would answer for it, every single one.And so the years passed.I grew up and took over the Carter Group. But Dad was never the same man again.In the year after Mom died, his hair went half white. His body broke down faster than anyone could explain, and no medication helped. The doctors said it was grief. There was no cure.He stopped being able to sleep, and when he finally did, he always dreamed of her. In the dream, she wore that pale blue dress from when they first met, standing under the pear blossom trees, smiling with her whole face.He would cry himself awake and lie in the dark, repeating the same words to the ceiling."Miranda. I was wron

    The color instantly drained from Vanessa's once radiant, beautifully made-up face."Ethan, let me explain—""Don't bother."His voice was quiet. Frightening."We slept together exactly once. And you were the one who got into my bed while I was drunk.""I never looked into you before out of respect for your parents.""Now tell me whose bastard it is."Vanessa shook so hard she collapsed, hitting the floor on her knees."I'll get rid of it. Please. Just give me another chance."His mother stepped forward and spat at her feet."You bitch! You really think my son would ever want you again?"Dad looked at Vanessa. He'd been played so thoroughly."Last chance to come clean before I stop being civil."He dropped a stack of contracts on the table. Every business deal he'd ever given the Bennett family. What looked like partnerships were really subsidies, just money flowing one way.Vanessa's foster mother panicked."Just say it! Do you want to destroy us?"Vanessa's voice came out small."It's

    Dad carried Mom into the back seat. I followed behind, crying so hard I couldn't make a sound. Vanessa hung her head, dragged by bodyguards like a dead thing.The car pulled slowly out of the alley, carrying the only person who had ever loved me.Outside, the sun was warm, but the world felt frozen solid.I didn't find out until later that the date was October 25th, the last sunny day of late autumn.Mom's funeral was held three days later. It was quiet and hardly anyone came, just me, Dad, and a few of her classmates. She had arrived in this world alone and left the same way.After what happened in the alley, Vanessa had been hospitalized with a threatened miscarriage and was still there on strict bed rest. Mom's biological mother was at the hospital with her, fussing over Vanessa around the clock.Before the burial, Dad made one last call to Mom's mother."Your daughter is gone. Aren't you going to see her off?"Her voice shrieked through the phone."She died in such disgrace and you

    Dad's voice cracked."What are you talking about?""You're not going anywhere. You're coming back with me. The doctors will fix you. Those people will be dealt with. You'll still be my wife—"Mom raised her voice."I loved you ninety-nine times. I don't owe you anything."She held his gaze, her face something between laughing and crying."Nine years. No title, no recognition. I took care of your parents. I gave you two children. I swallowed every humiliation they put me through.""I kept telling myself, it'll happen. What he promised will come true."Her voice fell."Whatever I owed you, I've paid it back.""But what you owe me..."Something bright flickered in her eyes and vanished."I don't want it anymore."Dad's lips trembled. He pressed his hands over his face and sobbed."I'm a bastard. I'm the worst. Vanessa was just someone I used to get a rise out of you."He hit himself across the face, once, twice, over and over, until his cheek went swollen and red."I've always loved you.

    Dad turned and kicked Vanessa across the floor. She cried out and something spread red beneath her on the filthy ground.He barely noticed. He dragged her to the side of the bed."I brought the person who did this to you. Whatever you want to do to her, go ahead."Vanessa was sobbing, saying she was sorry, over and over. But it didn't reach Mom. Her spirit seemed to have already scattered.Until Dad told someone to bring me in. I ran crying to her side, and only then did one tear slip down her face."Sandra, don't come close. Mom is dirty."I paused, then gently wiped what I could from her and cried even harder.[System alert: death countdown. Five minutes.]My heart dropped into ice.I could see it, her face going grey in real time, her eyes slowly closing."Mom! Don't—"She felt my panic but couldn't comfort me anymore. She just moved her lips, barely audible."Sandra. Remember what Mom told you."Dad was unraveling beside me, talking to himself."You're not going to die. You're not.
