Chapter 1

The beautiful bouquet decorated with my eyeballs was delivered to my mom, Eleanor Heinrich.My ten slender fingers had been forcibly broken to adorn the area around the eyeballs. Fresh blood was smeared all around, still dripping, staining the pupils a deep red.The dilated pupils reflected the terror their owner felt before death. The fingers were a mix of bruised blue and purple, with nails flipped backward and stained with blood. The shade of red on them was even more bright and vivid than the roses at the side.Last night, I was still acting spoiled over the phone with Mom. But now, I was dismembered and grotesquely reassembled into the bouquet that was presented to her.Today was Mom's birthday banquet. It also doubled up as the reunion banquet for her and her long-lost daughter.When I got off the plane, I immediately spotted the young lady who was showered with attention and affection—Morrigan Heinrich. After learning that Mom had found her real daughter, I asked her to tel

Morrigan yanked the malachite pendant off my neck and sneered coldly. "Give it back to me!" I yelled."This is such a precious antique piece. An outsider like you doesn't deserve it! Tell me, did you beg Mom to give this to you?""Dad left that for me. Give it back!" I struggled desperately and reached for the pendant in her clutches.Morrigan deliberately held it high out of my reach while scoffing at me. "Mom is about to take me in officially. Everything in the Heinrich family belongs to me. Of course, Dad's belongings are mine too. As expected of a stray picked off the streets—it's in your nature to covet what belongs to others."With a wave of her hand, two tall men dressed in black immediately dragged me into a van.Morrigan said menacingly, "Today, I'll teach you a lesson so that you'll understand how shameful it is to take what's not yours. Since Dad is gone, this malachite pendant should be gone with him too!"She savored my misery with satisfaction before casually toss

Morrigan's voice became icy. "Are you trying to threaten me?"She stepped on my hand with force, her voice menacing. "Well, you sure can talk. Let's see if you can still run your mouth after I rip out your tongue."A cold blade was pressed against the root of my tongue as Morrigan hissed, "I'll let you experience the pain of having your tongue torn out. Let's see if you dare to speak carelessly again!"I shook my head frantically, but the sharp blade cut into my mouth, leaving gashes. Blood trickled from the corners of my lips. The searing pain from having my tongue cut made me want to scream, but I couldn't make a sound.Morrigan, however, laughed heartily. "Wonderful. Let's see how you can work your charm on Mom after this."She grabbed my nearly severed tongue and yanked it forcefully. With that, my tongue was completely ripped out."Ah!" I screamed soundlessly as the metallic taste of blood filled my throat. Warm and sticky blood streamed down my face."Look at her. Isn't sh

"Why would you do this to another person?" Mom questioned Morrigan with a hint of displeasure.Morrigan pouted pitifully. "This bitch badmouthed me."Upon seeing that Mom remained unmoved, Morrigan added, "And she also mocked Sienna for being blind. Mom, I'm just like you—I won't let anyone bully Sienna."Sure enough, as soon as Mom heard that Morrigan had done this for my sake, she smiled approvingly. "You did the right thing, Morry. No one is allowed to bully Sienna."I screamed with all my might, trying to tell Mom that those eyes in the bouquet were mine—the eyes of her most beloved daughter.Sadly, Mom couldn't hear me.Morrigan's lackeys chimed in, adding fuel to the fire. "That woman didn't just insult Ms. Morrigan by calling her a motherless child. She also said Ms. Sienna was just some bastard picked off the streets. Ms. Morrigan may have been harsh, but she was only teaching her a lesson to set an example!"Mom frowned but said nothing. Morrigan took the opportunity to

A surveillance video began playing on the phone.When Mom saw my figure appear on the screen, her tightly knitted brows relaxed momentarily. But in the next moment, she clenched her fist and slammed it hard against the steering wheel.In the video, Morrigan pushed me to the ground. She slammed my head against a stone block and scratched my face with her sharp nails.A dozen men in black surrounded us. Passersby were curious about what was going on, but they couldn't see what was happening within the human barricade.However, the overhead camera captured everything. It showed me helplessly pinned to the curb, subjected to Morrigan's beating without the strength to fight back.Mom's eyes burned with anger and pain, and she cried out in despair. She screamed helplessly, feeling anguished that she hadn't been there for me. She gripped the phone tightly, her unblinking gaze fixed on the screen as if trying to burn a hole through it.The video then showed me being dragged by my hair

Chapter 6

Mom returned to the banquet hall wearing a white suit.Morrigan hurriedly approached her and held her hand. "Where did you go, Mom?"Mom pulled her hand away discreetly. She said indifferently, "There was an urgent matter at the company that I needed to handle."Morrigan didn't notice anything unusual and eagerly urged, "Mom, all the guests have been waiting for so long. Let's start the reunion ceremony now."A flicker of coldness flashed in Mom's eyes. A corner of her lips slowly lifted into an icy half-smile."Sure. You gave me a birthday gift earlier, so I have prepared a gift for you too," Mom said.Morrigan was thrilled and hugged Mom tightly. "Really? What kind of gift is it?"Mom's smile widened as she let Morrigan embrace her, but I could see the bloodthirsty and hostile look on her face.She walked slowly onto the stage as Gavin directed the staff to carry a large, elegantly wrapped box onto the platform. The box was the size of a refrigerator, and there was a pink bow

"She also scratched Ms. Sienna's face with her nails.""She ripped out Ms. Sienna's tongue.""They… They also violated Ms. Sienna."One by one, everyone exposed what the other had done, desperate to save their own lives.Mom let out a sneer and picked up the knife, replicating every atrocity Morrigan had inflicted on me.Morrigan writhed and screamed but couldn't make a sound. Her body convulsed as she became progressively covered in blood and mangled flesh.Some of the men were terrified. They knelt and begged for mercy, and the hall reeked of urine. Unfortunately for them, Mom had already lost her sanity. Gavin was unable to stop her, so he instructed others to assist her.The room was filled with waves of agonized screams before it soon fell into an eerie silence.Morrigan lay on the floor, trembling uncontrollably.The sound of high heels clicking against the cold, hard floor echoed as Mom approached her. Morrigan tried to crawl backward. Now blinded, she moved in the wron
