LOGINWhen the news of my husband's death reached me, I was seven months pregnant. My vision went black, and I fainted on the spot. When I opened my eyes again, a childish voice shouted in my head, "Mommy, wake up! Scumbag Daddy tricked you! He's not dead! He's with his mistress who's about to steal your identity!" I was stunned. The voice angrily spoke again, "The head of the Shaw family from the capital is your biological brother. Today, Scumbag Daddy is going to let his mistress take your place as his long-lost sister! Then, he and his mistress will conspire to kill you, and my brother and I will be sold off. To protect me, my brother will get his legs broken by human traffickers in the future and starve to death!" The child's heartbreaking cry jolted me awake from my grief like a bucket of ice water. I thought it was a hallucination, but then I heard the voice of an unfamiliar man in the living room. "Mr. Shaw, this is Miss Alice Woods. She's the long-lost sister that you've been looking for for twenty years!"

We floated together, sharing all the nutrients and emotions that came from Mommy.At first, Mommy's emotions were peaceful, as gentle as the amniotic fluid around us.But at some point, Mommy started to become sad.I could feel her fear. It slowly seeped into our warm little home like ice-cold seawater. Outside, there were always two very loud, annoying voices, one male, one female. Their words were like needles, always pricking Mommy and causing her pain.When Mommy felt hurt, we would feel sad too.Brother would gently nudge me with his tiny foot, as if saying, "Don't be scared."But I was still so scared.One day, I felt Mommy's life force rapidly draining away. Her heartbeat became c
Hearing this, Steve ignored the pain of his broken hand and burst into curses, "Alice, you stupid wench! You're the one who seduced me and instigated me to do this because you wanted to be rich!"Watching their ugly squabble, I felt nothing but disgust.Steve suddenly turned to me, his eyes filled with frantic hatred."Don't think you've won, Wendy! So what if you've returned to the Shaw family? The children in your belly are my seed! They'll always carry my blood! If you send their father to prison, people will point and laugh at them their entire lives!"He thought the children were my biggest weakness.Unfortunately, he was wrong.I looked at him indifferently, throwing the words I overheard him say back at him."Didn't you say that all you needed was Alice, and you didn't want any trace of me left in your life? Didn't you also say you'd find a way to get rid of the children? But now, you're using the children as your shield?"With every word I spoke, his face grew a shade p
"Lucas, have you found her?""Grandma, the situation is a bit complicated."Lucas gave her a brief explaination.Grandma's gaze slowly swept over us, finally settling on Alice."Are you the girl with the feather brooch?"Alice timidly hid behind Steve and nodded.Grandma then looked at me, her gaze sharpening slightly."And who are you?""Grandma, I'm Denise." I stepped forward and knelt before her.The prayer beads in Grandma's hand stopped.She scrutinized me for a long time before slowly speaking."When Denise was little, she was really afraid of the old black locust tree in the backyard. Tell me, why was that?"Steve and Alice's expressions changed when they heard the question.How could they possibly know such things?Alice stammered for a while before tentatively saying, "Is it... because there were bugs on the tree?"Grandma said nothing, merely shaking her head.Steve quickly added, "Is it because it looked like a ghost at night? Kids are scared of that."Grand
He stared at me in disbelief, shock practically overflowing from his eyes.Steve's face instantly turned ashen. He grabbed my wrist and barked, "Wendy, what nonsense are you spouting now?! Did you eavesdrop on us?!"Alice was also panicking. She clutched Lucas' sleeve tightly, crying, "Lucas, don't believe her! She's just jealous of me, so she wants to snatch everything from me! She's crazy!"I coldly shook off Steve's hand.Crazy?Yeah, the old me was indeed crazy. I let myself be deceived and manipulated by Steve.I ignored them, turned to my brother, and continued confidently, "My name's not Wendy. My name is Denise Shaw. Twenty years ago, on the day our house caught fire, you got hit by a falling beam when you tried to save me. It left a crescent-shaped burn scar on your lower back. Do you need me to point out where it is?"Lucas let go of Alice and took a step back. His eyes turned bloodshot and his mouth trembled, unable to utter a single word.That scar was the greatest
