At first, her fans tried to contain the fallout, calling it a misunderstanding.

But the police quickly issued an official statement confirming her arrest and identifying her as the prime suspect in my death.

The internet erupted.

"Who died? Elowen?"

"Didn't I just see that story about her sending money to her parents? What happened?"

"Wait, they're sisters? What a nightmare family."

    The truth Ezra posted caused an immediate uproar.My fans and outraged strangers overran his social media accounts. Online, he became the very definition of a scumbag.But Ezra didn't care.Or rather, he accepted it. He agreed with every word.He read every comment condemning him, his expression intent and earnest."Elowen, look. They're all tearing me apart. I deserve it.""When you were alive, you were always so careful to keep me out of the spotlight. You said you were afraid people would come after me because of you. You wanted to protect me."Over the past few days, Ezra had taken to talking to the empty air like this, as though I were still beside him."Your parents posted a clarification online too.""We were blind. We took your love and your devotion and used them against you.""We all regret it now, Elowen.""I'd give anything to see you one more time. You won't even visit me in my dreams. Have I disappointed you that completely?"Ezra pulled my moon necklace from the pocket s

    News of Seraphina's arrest exploded across the internet.At first, her fans tried to contain the fallout, calling it a misunderstanding.But the police quickly issued an official statement confirming her arrest and identifying her as the prime suspect in my death.The internet erupted."Who died? Elowen?""Didn't I just see that story about her sending money to her parents? What happened?""Wait, they're sisters? What a nightmare family."My fans flooded my social media accounts, asking for any sign that I was still alive and refusing to believe I was really gone.In the end, it was Ezra who posted a statement from his own account."My wife, Elowen Thorne, died in a fall. Please respect her memory and let her rest in peace.""Everything circulated online about Elowen was maliciously manufactured by Seraphina and me.""Once I've organized everything, I'll release all the evidence and explain what really happened."Ezra's statement drove even more attention to the story, and every media

    Ezra, my parents, and even Officer Reed all turned to look at Seraphina.She realized what had come out of her mouth and scrambled to explain."No, I... I got flustered and said the wrong thing. What I meant was that her death really was an accident, and Ezra shouldn't keep blaming himself."Mom sank to the ground, as though seeing Seraphina for the very first time."That's your sister, Seraphina. She's dead. She's lying right there. How can you say something like that?"Dad stared at her too, red-eyed and utterly disappointed."Seraphina, we couldn't be more disappointed in you!"Seraphina was so flustered she couldn't form a sentence. Tears streamed down her cheeks, but this time, nobody rushed to comfort her.She grabbed Ezra's arm, trying to win him over the way she always had."Ezra, you wouldn't misunderstand me, right?"Ezra peeled her fingers off one by one, his gaze terrifyingly cold."Sending Elowen up to fix the rooftop railing was your idea.""You said you wanted me to take

    When I saw my parents arrive, Mom still had a faint smear of sauce on her sleeve.It had probably happened while she was making Seraphina's beef bourguignon.The moment she spotted the officers in the courtyard, her knees buckled. She and Dad, equally unsteady, clung to each other just to stay upright."Elowen... where's Elowen?"Officer Reed pointed in my direction.Ezra remained on his knees beside my body, perfectly still, like a statue stripped of life.Mom walked over, stared at my body in disbelief for a long time, then spun around and slapped Ezra across the face."You said she'd be safe! You said her life wasn't in danger! So why is my daughter dead?!"Seraphina rushed over and pulled Mom away."Mom, stop! She slipped and fell. Ezra had nothing to do with it!"Mom stared at Seraphina through red-rimmed eyes."Seraphina, that's your sister lying there. Your own sister. How can you side with him over her?""Her death was an accident! She slipped and fell, and I'm heartbroken too!

    By the time Ezra arrived back at the treatment center, the medical examiner was pulling a white sheet over my body.He seized Mercer by the arm, unable to look in my direction."Where's Elowen? Where is she?"Mercer stared at him, his face ashen."Mr. Thorne, Mrs. Thorne... she's right there.""You're telling me that's Elowen under that sheet? No. I don't believe it!""Where is she? Tell her to come out and see me!"The medical examiner who had covered me walked over to him, her tone cold."We've confirmed the victim's identity as Elowen Thorne, an actress. She died from blood loss caused by the fall."Ezra turned to face her, his eyes bloodshot."What did you say? What does that mean?"The medical examiner frowned."The center's surveillance footage shows Mrs. Thorne falling from the roof while repairing the railing. The railing had deteriorated with age, and the roof surface was slick.""Mrs. Thorne did not die immediately after the fall. Roughly three hours passed between the time s

    The moment my parents published their post, the people Ezra had lined up began reposting it.The footage he had been collecting over the past three months was edited and released, spreading like wildfire online.In the videos, I looked painfully submissive. No matter what he put me through, I kept smiling, apologizing, and trying to placate him.Ezra had been edited out entirely, leaving only me on screen in what looked like an absurd one-woman show."Oh my God, is she really like that?""That groveling face makes me sick!""She talks such a big game, but look at her in real life. She just takes it? Disgusting.""Done being a fan. Being that spineless is just pathetic."Seraphina scrolled through the comments, barely holding back a smile before quickly wiping it away and turning to Ezra with innocent, pitiful eyes."Ezra, people are being so harsh. Don't you feel a little sorry for her?"Ezra scoffed."Sorry for what? Nobody forced her to act like that. I just showed the world who she
