Chapter 1 Sudden Death

Chapter 1 Sudden Death

My brother hated me and wanted me dead.

I cried and asked him, "Am I your sister or what?"

"I don't have a sister," he scoffed.

That night, a car suddenly hit me and killed me.

He went insane.

I, Caroline Bell, died at the most glamorous age of 18.

Intense pain invaded in an instant, and I was grateful that I died quickly.

But my body didn't look good.

I floated in mid-air, watching passersby shake their heads and sigh.

I followed my corpse to the hospital.

After going through the motions, they pushed me into the morgue.

The doctor flipped through my tattered clothes, trying to find anything to prove my identity, but to no avail.

"Poor thing! It looks like you haven't even reached adulthood.

"how devastated your family will be when they find out!"

My wallet and phone had been taken by a man after I ran out of the house following an argument with my brother, Dexter Bell.

He had also taken something else from me, but I had forgotten what it was.

The nurse carefully wiped the blood stains off my body, shedding a few tears.

I wondered how happy Dexter would be if he found out.

I stared blankly at my corpse, wondering how long it would take for Dexter to come and claim my body.

This is probably the strangest story I’ve ever read. It didn’t really make sense and it was short.

Chapter 2 Going Home
Chapter 2 Going HomeMy spirit wafted back home—a luxurious villa standing in the suburbs.It looked like a lurking beast in the darkness, never giving me any warmth.The light of a desk lamp illuminated Dexter's stern face. He was dealing with company matters, with his brows furrowing.He glanced at the time on his phone, showing a hint of impatience and anger.After a while, he unlocked his phone and tried to call someone.Seemingly unable to connect, he cursed and hung up.He swept everything off the table. I knew about his hot temper."Caroline, you've grown bold. How dare you block me?"He angrily smashed things around. "If you are so capable, never come back. Just die out there."My nose tingled.Even though I was dead, I still felt sad about his harsh words."Dexter, you got your wish. I really died out there."I watched as the last remnants of the setting sun faded away in the distance.It seemed to take away the last trace of warmth within me.

Chapter 5 A Fight
Chapter 5 A FightDexter didn't try to call me again, which was expected.A phone call was the last bit of patience he had for me.I remember the first time we had a big fight.His veins bulged as he pointed to the door and barked, "Caroline, get out of this house. I don't have a sister like you."I wiped away my tears and shot back, "Do you think I want a brother like you?""Caroline, I hate you."He slapped me, leaving my face swollen and red.I ran out and waited by the road out of our house, expecting him to come out and find me.The wind was chilling at night, and I was wearing thin pajamas.Soon enough, my lips turned purple, and I couldn't help shuddering.But to my disappointment, Dexter didn't come find me.He never came out of the house.With no money in my pocket and the cold freezing me, I was forced to wander to a friend's house, where I stayed for a few nights.Eventually, Dexter called me.

Chapter 7 Disgusting
Chapter 7 Disgusting"Don't call Carrie that. She might just be throwing a tantrum."It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have been so angry at you."See how pretentious Lana was?I couldn't associate the girl in front of me with our gentle mother in the photo.Did they really look alike?"Lana, you're so kind. Caroline treats you so poorly, yet you always defend her." Dexter gently touched Lana's forehead, his movements gentle."According to Dad's will, the property is to be split equally between Caroline and me."But she has been acting crazy. How could such a person be worthy of being my sister?"So, I plan to change her name into yours on the will, Lana."An indescribable feeling of nausea rose from my stomach.I wanted to leave, but my spirit was spellbound.I couldn't move at all, and my mind buzzed.Dexter's voice reached my ears once again."When Dad was saved, he wanted to see Caroline."He asked me to treat her well and wanted me to say sorry f

Chapter 8 The Bully
Chapter 8 The BullyWhen Lana first arrived, she was relatively nice to me, at least at home.She would timidly follow behind me, calling me sister with a smile.Until she realized that my dad ignored me and my brother treated me poorly, she started treating me badly too.That was when I realized that Lana didn't really love to smile.She once trapped me in the school restroom, allowing other girls to grab my hair and pin me to the ground.Blows landed on my body, parts covered by my clothes. It was a way to teach me a lesson without leaving bruises or marks."Caroline, don't hate me."If you want to hate someone, hate your brother."He allowed all of this. Otherwise, how could I, an adopted daughter, be so bold?"Her words made sense. If it weren't for Dexter's consent, she wouldn't have dared bully me like this.It looked like Dexter really wanted me dead.My hope of Dexter's rescue was dashed, and I started to beg Lana for mercy."It hurts."I was in too much pain to s

Chapter 9 Struggling
Chapter 9 StrugglingCountless times, I returned home with messy hair and disheveled clothes.When Dexter saw it, he only questioned me with a stern face. "Caroline, have you been fooling around?"You're not even 18 yet. Do you think Mom would be happy to see you like this?"I held back my tears and stifled my cry.But I couldn't stop the pain in my body and my heart.I wanted to tell him that it was Lana, together with some boys from our class, who stripped off my clothes and took photos of me.A harmless smile graced Lana's beautiful face."Caroline, if you dare reveal it, I'll spread these photos."Let's see what Dexter will think of you."Did it matter if I revealed it or not? I didn't know.I started taking medication and losing handfuls of hair.But it was useless.I went to a psychological clinic.The doctor gently touched my head, her eyes filled with tenderness and concern that were rare to me.My nose tingled, tears streaming down.I had never received such ki
