Chapter 5

Author: Fiery Double
"We're still investigating the exact circumstances. As her family members, you should come to the scene," said the police officer in a cold and serious voice from the other end.

Dad looked confused. He checked the incoming call and saw that it was indeed the number of the Lareton police department.

He was about to say something when Mom suddenly snatched the phone away. "What kind of stunt is Addie pulling now? The older she is, the more scheming she becomes."

She turned on Kingston. "See? Ev

  • She's Their Princess, I'm the Disposable One   Chapter 9

    Mom reached over again and found a small, crumpled piece of paper beside my pillow. She unfolded it and saw that it was an essay.I had written the title in big letters. It read, "My Mom and Dad."In the essay, I wrote about how my parents would spoil me like I was a princess. They would buy me beautiful dresses and take me out for delicious desserts. Whenever Dad went on business trips, he would remember to bring me souvenirs. Mom would sew dolls for me and embroider my name into the side.The teacher had given my essay the highest grade. In her comment, she said that I had a very happy family, and that she could feel it through my writing.But only I knew that none of it was real.When I saw the title, I genuinely had no idea what to write.Was I supposed to write that Mom would show me period dramas and point to the maids serving the princesses? She'd said, "See that? You need to learn how to serve Maddie."Or should I write about how Dad would lift Amanda high into the air

  • She's Their Princess, I'm the Disposable One   Chapter 8

    Mom and Dad hurried home.Amanda bounded to them happily, flashing them a joyful and innocent smile. "Mom and Dad will be mine alone from now on. That's so nice."Dad remained silent and said nothing.Mom tried to smile, but the corners of her mouth twitched, and she instinctively covered it with her hand.Perhaps she had thought of my body. She felt sick again.Kingston came out with red and swollen eyes. "The news is already reporting it. You left Addie on the highway. A truck hit her and killed her..."The more he spoke, the more his voice shook. He pounded his chest twice in anguish before pointing at my parents.He seethed, "Go look for yourselves. Look at what everyone online is saying about you. What you did can be counted as homicide! Just wait. The police will come arrest you and send you to prison!"My parents froze. They clenched their fists and probably wanted to argue. However, they didn't know what they could possibly say in their defense.Seeing them like this,

  • She's Their Princess, I'm the Disposable One   Chapter 7

    In the end, my parents went to the police station because the police had come to their door.People from the village came to watch the commotion. That was how everyone found out that my parents had abandoned me on the highway and left me there to fend for myself."How can they play favorites to this extent? They said they didn't bring their younger daughter the past few years because the older one had severe depression, so they couldn't handle having both kids around. Even if the older one is sick, how can that be a reason to leave the younger one there?""She's just a little girl, and they left her alone on the highway? Even human traffickers wouldn't do something this awful."The villagers whispered among themselves.My parents got into the police car under their disdainful stares.The police showed them the surveillance footage. In the video, I was left standing helplessly in the middle of the road, completely at a loss."It's not even that far. Couldn't she walk? She looks l

    Kingston was the first to react.He grabbed Dad by the collar and asked through clenched teeth. "Was it the police station? Didn't they tell you to go to the Lareton Police Station?"Mom heard the commotion and came around from the living room.She shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"Kingston roared back, emphasizing every word, "What am I doing? Your daughter is missing, and you two don't care at all as her parents!"His voice was heavy with pain.Seeing his reddened eyes, I felt tears well up in my own eyes too.So, this was what it felt like to have someone care about me.I hadn't seen much of Kingston. He had always lived in our hometown. A few years ago, he had come to the city for medical treatment and stayed at our place for a while.I still remembered the first time he saw me.He had cheerfully placed his large hand on my head and said, "So, you're Addie. You're a pretty girl, but you're too skinny. You need to eat more."He pulled a new dress for me out of his tr

He checked the incoming call and saw that it was indeed the number of the Lareton police department.He was about to say something when Mom suddenly snatched the phone away. "What kind of stunt is Addie pulling now? The older she is, the more scheming she becomes."She turned on Kingston. "See? Even when she was little, she knew how to make Maddie depressed. Who knows what she'll turn into when she grows up. I dare not keep her around. If you like her so much, you can take her and raise her yourself."Mom insulted me without holding anything back. She made it sound as if I really were some unforgivable criminal.But I never understood.When I was little, Mom would say I cried too loudly on purpose just to lure her away from Amanda so she'd have to take care of me. She said I was manip

  • She's Their Princess, I'm the Disposable One   Chapter 4

    Kingston's chest heaved with anger as he pointed at Dad and snapped, "Have you forgotten what happened last New Year? Addie was almost kidnapped by human traffickers! How can you be so heartless again this year?"Around this time last year, Mom had called out to me through the security camera. She said a package had arrived and told me to go pick it up.I nodded obediently.But when I got down to the lobby, I froze.The package Mom had ordered was taller than I was. Apparently, a giant teddy bear she'd bought for Amanda had been delivered to the wrong place. Amanda couldn't wait to see it, so Mom ordered me to go collect it and open it for Amanda to see.I pushed against it with my tiny body. It didn't budge.Fortunately, a kind man saw me and smiled as he asked if I needed help. I remembered my kindergarten teacher telling me not to talk to strangers. But then, I had no choice. If I didn't get back soon, Mom and Dad would scold me."Please, sir. Help me." I begged him through
