Chapter 8

Author: Perfect Timing
From the day Winona came back from the dead, she disappeared completely from my sight.

I changed my phone number, too, because I didn't want to be involved with that deranged family in any way. Nevertheless, trouble still came knocking.

A post suddenly went viral online. It claimed that the poster's aunt had been jealous of his mother and had hired killers to murder him. Luckily, the mother survived. But due to insufficient evidence, the aunt walked away scot-free.

Now, the aunt had replaced the mother and had become the father's new wife. The mother was missing, and the child was being mistreated daily. Attached to the post was a picture of a battered little hand.

Once the post gained attention, it spread online like wildfire. At first, most people assumed it was just clickbait. But then, nosy people online found out the poster's address and shared it online.

The incident concerning my family wasn't exactly unknown. With a real location, plus tags like murder, child abuse, and ho

    Earlier, I had called the police to report everything, so now, I handed over evidence showing that Winona hired the hitman. I also submitted the surveillance footage from the day at the crematorium.They had stalled again and again, claiming there wasn't enough proof. But now, the evidence was irrefutable.Winona's entire family was taken in for investigation. On the other hand, I was cleared of all charges.As the case caused such a public uproar, the police released a summary of what had happened.After Winona faked her death and returned home with Kenneth, his beatings became even more brutal. By the time she appeared on the livestream, her legs had already been chopped off. Due to his threats, she didn't dare to expose her true situation.The viral post from before was uploaded by Sonny. He had planned to blame Winona's future death on me one day. No matter how abnormal Sonny was, he was only seven years old. He didn't understand how serious the consequences were, nor had he

    Kenneth swept his eyes over my body like he was inspecting a piece of merchandise. Satisfied with what he saw, he smirked.He said, "Stella, you belong to me from now on."Then, he glanced at Mom's pathetic figure and said in a sinister tone, "If this old hag ever upsets you again, I'll take care of her myself."Mom staggered to her feet, trembling and desperate to escape this nightmare. Of course she had thought about who mutilated Winona so cruelly. The biggest suspect could only be Kenneth.But then again, she didn't have the courage to confront him. So, she directed all her rage onto me, convincing herself that I was the one who ruined her precious Winona.Winona stared at something, or rather someone, behind Kenneth in terror. Following her line of sight, I saw my seven-year-old nephew, Sonny.He looked at Winona's limbless body and smiled sweetly. "Great. Now, Mommy can't run away anymore."Then, he turned to me with confusion. "Do you want to be like Mommy, too, Aunt Stel

    Mom had somehow gotten hold of my new phone number.The moment I picked up, I heard her howling over the phone. "Stella, I'm begging you! Please let Winona go!""What's going on, Mom?" I asked.She didn't answer my question. She just told me to hurry home, saying that Winona was about to die.I could tell something was off and tried to refuse her. However, in a way that was very out of character, Mom suddenly spoke to me in a gentle and coaxing tone.After my repeated refusals, she finally hung up.Right before the call disconnected, I heard her complain tearfully, "Do you see that, everyone? That heartless woman must have done something to Winona! Why else wouldn't she come back?"Hearing her sniffles, I finally understood that she was livestreaming.I grabbed my phone and found her livestream room in no time. As it was hosted on the same account Sonny used for his viral post, the stream was trending.I saw Mom dabbing at her tears dramatically on screen.Behind her was Wino

    Everyone stared at me in shock.Mom finally came back to her senses. Without Kenneth holding her back, she strode forward angrily and slapped me."How vicious of you, Stella! How did I give birth to such an evil daughter?" she screamed. I let out a cold laugh. How perfectly Winona twisted everything around! But who in their right mind would fight to hold on to two sadists like they were something precious?Still, Winona's little tale held about 80 percent truth to it. The only catch was that she had pinned the blame for every vile thing she had done onto me, the victim, instead.Winona had always been the one who loved stealing things. She was the one who had stolen someone else's husband.In the beginning, the one Mom had planned to marry off to Kenneth in exchange for money was me. He had the money and the looks. To be fair, he was nothing like those typical rich old men. Aside from being 20 years older than me, no one had anything bad to say about Kenneth.At the end of the

    My emotional cries drew everyone's attention toward Winona.Instantly, everyone knew what was going on. So, it really was a staged play all along.When Kenneth saw that Winona was indeed alive, he walked straight over and slapped her hard across the face.Mom collapsed to the ground, mumbling that everything was over.Winona covered her cheek and sobbed. "Honey, aren't you happy that I'm not dead?"Kenneth glared at her furiously and growled, "How do you still have the nerve to ask that, you bitch? So, you were pretending to be dead all the while! I treated you so well, yet you tried to fool me!"Seeing me standing by and enjoying the show with an amused expression, Winona suddenly directed her accusations at me. She cried, "I didn't mean to… It was Stella! She forced me to do it."Winona started sobbing, and Kenneth signaled for her to go on.In the twisted story that followed, I was painted as a spiteful, jealous sister. She, on the other hand, became the most innocent victim
