작가: Mimi Wood
I should've called the cops from day one and sent them straight to jail.

That night, my socials blew up.

Hundreds of DMs came pouring in.

[You're seriously insane. You really did that to your own sister?]

[Get therapy and stop ruining people's lives.]

[The Brightons ended up with you? Damn, talk about bad luck.]

Calls from relatives kept coming nonstop.

"Kyla, how could you do this to Zoey? You've been jealous of her since you were kids. Now you're just cruel."

    The lawyer's voice stayed calm and sharp. "The evidence in this case is overwhelming. We'll be requesting the maximum sentence."Zoey stood off to the side, pale as a ghost.My mom crumpled to the floor. "Kyla... I was wrong... I know I was wrong... Can you please drop the case? I'll apologize... I'll kneel if I have to!"I looked at the woman who gave birth to me, raised me, then tried to ruin my life."Mom." My voice stayed steady. "I've done more than enough for this family."I gave them one last look, took Bruce's hand, and walked out.***The verdict came fast.My mom got three years. Zoey got a year and a half.The whole case went viral. "The New-Mom Setup" stayed stuck at the top of trending for days.People went digging into Zoey's past and didn't miss a thing.That "elite UK university" she kept flexing? A total diploma mill.Then came the screenshots—her flirting with a married guy while studying abroad.Her rich-girl persona collapsed overnight.Relatives start

    I should've called the cops from day one and sent them straight to jail.That night, my socials blew up.Hundreds of DMs came pouring in.[You're seriously insane. You really did that to your own sister?][Get therapy and stop ruining people's lives.][The Brightons ended up with you? Damn, talk about bad luck.]Calls from relatives kept coming nonstop."Kyla, how could you do this to Zoey? You've been jealous of her since you were kids. Now you're just cruel.""Just give Zoey some money and settle this already."As I listened, I kept thinking about growing up.These relatives had always taken Mom's side. They called Zoey pretty and smart, said I was boring and awkward.But behind our backs, I'd heard them whispering before."Wanda's way too biased. Kyla's the good kid.""Zoey's spoiled rotten. Wanda's gonna regret it someday."They knew exactly what was right and wrong.They just liked watching other people's lives burn. The messier, the better.***When Bruce's paren

  • Mom Tried to Wife-Swap Me   Chapter 8

    Zoey's carefully crafted rich-girl influencer account was instantly flooded with tens of thousands of comments:[How much for one night? DM me.][A salon dude hit and quit and you still acted like some rich princess online?][Your body looked even better in the video.]I scrolled through the comments, my emotions a complete mess.Bruce took my phone from my hands and pulled me into his arms. "Stop reading them..."I leaned against his shoulder, my chest tight. "She's my sister. I was always good to her growing up. How could she do this to me...?"Bruce stayed quiet for a second before speaking. "Not everyone deserves your kindness. People like them aren't worth your tears."I closed my eyes.Yeah. They weren't worth it.So why couldn't I stop crying?***The next day, Mom came to see me.Her eyes were swollen and red, her hair a total mess.The second she saw me, she grabbed my hand. "Kyla, please. You have to help Zoey explain this!"I pulled away. "Explain what?""Jus

    "Want me to help you take off your jacket?"The sound of rustling fabric grew quicker, messier.I pressed my ear against the door, my heart hammering in my chest.Bruce better not have actually fallen into her trap.***Suddenly, the door swung open from the outside.I jumped.Bruce stood there holding an empty wine glass.He looked at me with a faint smirk. "She really drugged me. Good thing you planned ahead."I peeked past him.Zoey was sprawled across the couch, completely passed out.I lowered my voice. "Did that guy get here yet?"Bruce nodded. "Peter spotted him downstairs. Let's go."We picked up the baby and slipped out.The second we reached the elevator, the doors slid open.A young guy in a cheap suit stepped out. His spiky mullet somehow made him look even slimier.His eyes darted around nervously, and he walked like he was on edge.As he brushed past us, I caught the strong stink of cigarette smoke.The elevator doors shut behind him.Bruce pressed the

    Zoey's eyes hardened. She nodded at Mom. "Mom, I'll do whatever you say!"After that, the conversation ended fast.I turned off the surveillance feed.Bruce clutched his chest and looked at me like he was traumatized. "They're... planning what?!"From the sound of it, Zoey was planning to force herself on him.Bruce jumped up and grabbed his phone. "I'm getting Peter to send more bodyguards over."Peter was his secretary.I caught his arm, an idea already forming. "Or we play along and give them a show."His eyes lit up instantly. "How?"I leaned in and whispered the plan in his ear.The more he listened, the bigger his grin got. "Damn, babe. You're trouble."I raised a brow. "Learned from the best."***The next day, the show started.When Bruce came back to the recovery suite from work, I was sitting in the living room with the baby in my arms.The second he walked in, I hurled a cup at the floor. "Oh, so you still remember to come back?!"Even I startled myself with

    My mom replied fast:[@LindaKnowsBest!!! You're literally my savior. Spill???]Bruce and I stared at the screen.After what felt like forever, [LindaKnowsBest] finally replied.This time, just one line:[DM'd you.]Bruce dragged a hand through his hair. "Oh my God. DMs? Are they allergic to public comments?"I sighed. "Forget it. One mess at a time."After nine that night, my mom texted me.[Kyla, have you figured out what you're gonna do?]I sent back a shaky voice message. "Mom... no. I don't wanna divorce him. I love him..."Bruce gently wrapped an arm around me.Her reply came instantly:[Dummy girl! But if you seriously can't leave him, I've got an idea. Pick a fight with him, then ignore him for a few days. Trust me, he'll freak out, regret everything, and come crawling back.]Then she forwarded another article:[If a Woman Isn't Savage Enough, She'll Never Keep Her Place—3 Tricks to Control a Cheating Man]I pretended to hesitate, then waited ten minutes before r
