I Don't Deserve Any of This Chapter 10
On an ordinary morning, I left the Sinclair family's estate.The sky had barely started to lighten when I left. The streets were still empty.I brought just one small suitcase, packed with a few changes of clothes and the money I'd managed to save.I didn't look back when I closed the door behind me.I found out what happened after that from the news.My family searched for me for a long time. They put out missing person notices, filed police reports.Nolan scoured every place he thought I might go, and eventually collapsed from exhaustion behind the wheel and got into a car accident.Losing two children back to back turned my parents' hair white overnight.As for Bella, between the charges of intentional assault and attempted murder, and the legal team the Sinclairs assembled specifically to make sure she never walked free, the sentences stacked up fast.She was sentenced to death.I turned off the TV and picked up the teacup in front of me for a sip.The sunlight outside w

After that day, my parents came knocking on my door almost every single day.Every time, they brought their whole hearts full of apology with them. They stood outside and called my name, over and over.I opened the door.But faced with their red-rimmed eyes, I just stood there. I didn't say a single word.When Lily reached out to touch me, I stepped back.Her hand froze in midair, like it had been nailed there.The silence stretched on for a long time.Finally, Theodore spoke first, his voice rough. "Luna, we...we won't push you. Whenever you're ready to see us, we'll be here."Lily nodded, tears spilling down her face. She wiped them away quickly and forced a stiff smile."I made soup for you. I left it by the door. Just... remember to drink it, okay?"They held each other up as they turned and made their way slowly toward the stairs, one step at a time.Their backs were hunched, like they'd aged years in an instant.As I watched them leave, I suddenly thought of something

Nolan caught up to Bella in a few strides. He grabbed her arm and threw her hard back into the middle of the living room.The suitcase burst open on impact, clothes spilling across the floor.Bella barely had time to react before the fall left her dazed and reeling.She braced herself with her arms and tried to get up, coming face to face with three people who looked both familiar and like total strangers.She'd never seen our parents and Nolan look at her like this before.Lily's nails dug into her own palms, her eyes bloodshot. "You killed our Luna seven times. Seven times! And this fire almost took her life again!"Nolan crouched down and stared at Bella, his eyes cold as ice."You were packing to run. That means you already knew you couldn't hide what you did anymore."Bella's eyes widened, the color slowly draining from her face.At first she'd thought it was just the fire that had come to light. But now it hit her, all at once.It wasn't just the fire. They remembered e

When I opened my eyes again, the room was completely silent."Ms. Luna is awake," Damian spoke up immediately, right on cue as always.I looked at him and blinked.He brought a glass of water to my lips, then said calmly, "During the eight days you were unconscious, quite a bit changed around here. I think you should be brought up to speed."Mr. Nolan has been asking me every three days why I exist only in this particular lifetime. Sir and Madam keep repeating the same thing over and over, that they thought they'd already died in that fire."As for Ms. Bella..."Damian paused, as if choosing his words carefully."She had quite a fright. These past few days, she's been telling anyone who'll listen that someone's come to collect a debt from her. She never says exactly who, but based on what I've observed, she means you."He leaned in slightly, his tone flat. "Oh, and one more thing. I've handed over all the footage from that tiny camera on your collar to your family. They should

Inside the burning house, the smoke was thick and acrid, the heat almost strong enough to knock a person flat.Nolan kicked open a half-collapsed door and finally spotted a small, curled-up figure inside the cage against the wall, already scorched black with soot.The blurred memories of who knew how many lifetimes crashed head-on into the present.In that instant, it felt like something had seized his heart in a crushing grip."Luna!"He lunged forward, reaching into the cage to pull the figure out.The person inside stirred, as if jolted awake, and slowly lifted her head.The moment I saw him, undisguised terror flooded my eyes. I flinched back hard.Nolan's hand froze in midair. Something seemed to lodge in his throat, and he couldn't force out a single word."Ms. Luna, it's me." Damian's voice came from behind him, calm and steady.He'd followed Nolan in at some point, unnoticed. Now, he crouched down and reached a hand into the cage.The terror in my eyes slowly receded

Damian was the first to react. "Where is Ms. Luna?"That finally snapped Theodore and Lily out of their daze.Lily scanned the scene over and over, but couldn't find that small, familiar figure anywhere.She grabbed Theodore's arm without thinking, her voice trembling. "Luna... didn't make it out?"Theodore opened his mouth, but nothing came out. It took him a long moment before he could turn to Nolan, his voice full of disbelief. "Nolan! You left Luna in there?!"Nolan didn't answer.He stared blankly at the flames ahead, and a low buzzing filled his head.Suddenly, an image flashed before him.Thick smoke, waves of heat, and a small hand, coated in ash, gripping his sleeve with everything it had.It was me when I was just seven years old.I'd been a full head shorter than him. Still, I somehow dragged him out of a burning building. The instant I used the last of my strength to shove him to safety, a collapsing beam had buried me instead.He remembered screaming my name unt
