Chapter 1

At the entrance of the black market, I spotted my eighth and final godfather, Little Pops, in the distance. A rush of excitement swept over me.I bolted forward, about to call out to him, but my father, Jack, suddenly yanked me back and tied me up tight. My mother, Emma, took the chance to pry my mouth open.A bottle of medicine was forced down my throat. As the liquid trickled down, it left a path of fire in its wake. I gagged and spat out a mouthful of blood, then realized I couldn't make a sound anymore.My mother wiped the blood off the hem of her dress, looking disgusted. "You wanted to find someone to help you call the cops, huh? Don't blame us for this. You're the one who wouldn't behave!"Before I could catch my breath, an icy iron mask was strapped over my face. My parents and my adoptive sister, Sharon Stanton, also put on their own masks.I'd forgotten about that. Little Pops had told me before that these rich people wanted to do evil but didn't want anyone to know. So,

Little Pops glanced at me and frowned, unable to stomach the torture I was being put through. He stepped between Jack and me."You booked some kind of surgery, right? If you beat her up this badly, how's she supposed to have an operation? Come with me."The doctor hadn't arrived yet, so we could only wait in the ward.Little Pops flipped through the surgery forms, his eyes full of surprise. "You're doing a brain transplant? Did she agree to it herself?"He looked over at me. I shook my head as hard as I could.Jack's hand cracked across my face. I slammed into the metal cabinet, stars bursting before my eyes.Emma tried to smooth things over. "Of course she agrees. She's our own daughter. It's just that she was switched at birth. The one who's been living with us for over a decade is this one, my sweetheart. Naturally, my sweetheart is upset now that my daughter is back. We have to compensate her somehow."She affectionately wrapped her arm around Sharon. The tenderness between

But my face was in too much pain. I misjudged my jump and crashed hard onto the floor.Little Pops stared at me, a bit dazed. He was just about to help me up when my parents suddenly pushed the door open and walked in with Sharon."Sweetheart, once the surgery is over and a success, I'll treat you to a big feast!" my mother cooed.She and Jack spoke to Sharon with voices sweet as honey. But when they looked over at me, their faces instantly darkened.Jack snarled, "Trying to run, huh? You stole Sharon's place as our daughter and all the love that should've been hers. What's wrong with giving a little back? How can you be so selfish?"He lifted his foot and stomped down hard on my left leg. There was a sickening crack as my bone split.My scream got stuck in my throat. Pain arched my whole body off the floor, and I couldn't stop trembling."Still thinking of running?" He raised his foot again, aiming for my right leg.Little Pops frowned and stepped in front of me. "The doctor's

Sharon let out a bloodcurdling scream as I sank my teeth hard into her ear with everything I had. I jerked my head hard, and with a tearing sound, I bit her ear off."Sharon! How dare you, you bitch!" Emma went crazy and lunged at me, shoving me away with all her strength.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Second Pops' expression change. He was the one who had taught me that if I were losing a fight, I could jab at the eyes or bite the ear. Once the other person was in pain, they would let go, and then I could run.I stared at him for a long moment, but I didn't dare hope he would recognize me. Instead, I turned and ran. Little Pops only half-heartedly tried to block me.Dragging my broken leg, I darted straight for the small door at the end of the hall. It was a secret that my godfathers had told me about."Maisie, remember that if something ever happens at the black market, you go out through here and just keep running. Don't look back!"Behind me, Second Pops and Little Pops

Chapter 5

My parents froze."You… You know this wretch?""What's going on? Didn't the investigation say she was wandering the streets and didn't have any other friends or family?"The doors of the operating room were suddenly kicked open with a loud bang. My first godfather, Big Pops, rushed in, his coat buttons done up wrong and his tie crooked to one side. It was obvious he'd run all the way here.Behind him, from the far end of the corridor, came the thunderous roar of footsteps. Sixth Pops and Seventh Pops strode over, each of them carrying a wrench.Third Pops walked in unhurriedly at the very back. He pushed his glasses up and held his phone up high. In the blink of an eye, he had already listed several of my parents' crimes.Fourth Pops carried a pair of boxing gloves, while Fifth Pops pulled out his laptop and hacked right into Jack's company website.The eight men crowded into the operating room.Jack's face went pale. He opened his mouth, wanting to smooth things over. But with

I was out cold in the hospital for three whole days. When I finally woke up, sunlight was pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, warm and soft on the blanket.The room was huge, with a couch, a TV, and a mini-fridge. The nightstand was piled high with flowers and gifts from my godfathers.Ever since Little Pops set up this black market, he'd kept the best hospital room reserved just for me. Every time I got sick, I stayed here. The tension in me eased as I looked at the familiar surroundings.Little Pops was sitting by my bed and peeling an apple. When he saw my eyes open, he paused, then smiled. "You're awake? Are you hungry?"He cut the apple into small pieces, speared one with a toothpick, and held it to my lips.The rest of my godfathers were around, too. They'd all been doing their own thing, but the moment they realized I was awake, they rushed over and crowded around my bed.Big Pops stared at my bandaged hands with heartache. "How do you feel? Are you still in p

Chapter 7

The Stantons had been locked up in a shack made of metal sheets and tortured until they were barely recognizable.I couldn't help thinking of how, on the way here, Jack had threatened to have me thrown in there, too. Seeing the state they were in now gave me a strange mix of bitterness and grim satisfaction.Sharon's brain transplant surgery had already been completed.Originally, even Second Pops hadn't been confident about such an unprecedented, extremely high-risk operation. But to get back at the Stantons for me, he'd forced his way through the technical difficulties and swapped Sharon's brain out for the "idiot's brain" she'd prepared ahead of time.I stared at her curiously. Now that she had an idiot's brain in her, would she really become an idiot?The Sharon I saw now had drooping eyes and a slack mouth. Drool leaked out whenever she moved even a little. She sure looked like a fool, but when my gaze swept over her, she still glared back at me with a mix of humiliation and

Jack was furious and clutched at his chest as he struggled to breathe. "Sharon, w-what are you talking about? We worked ourselves to the bone raising you for 18 years, and we treated you like a precious treasure."Even when our real daughter came back, we didn't shortchange or mistreat you at all. How could you say something like that?"Emma looked just as disappointed. She pointed at Sharon and wailed, "Back then, you cried to us every single day, saying that once Maisie came home, we wouldn't love you anymore. To make you happy, we wronged Maisie at every turn. We gave you the biggest bedroom with the best sunlight and made her live in the basement."It was you who complained that her mock exam scores were better than yours and that she would have a brighter future than you. You said you wanted a smarter brain. That's why we went everywhere asking about brain transplant surgeries. It was all for you that we came here! Do you even have a conscience, Sharon?"Sharon's lips quivered

Chapter 9

In the end, the Stantons still got to walk out. Because after my godfathers talked it over, they all agreed that killing them would only dirty their own hands."Besides, I think making them live a fate worse than death sounds a lot more fun." Third Pops pushed the door open and came in holding a folder. Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, a sly glint flashed in his eyes. "I already had someone look into the Stanton family's company accounts."Tax evasion, fake invoices, commercial fraud… You name it, they've done it. I've already filed an anonymous report. Once the investigation really gets going, they're done for."I was taken aback. "You guys are going to destroy them?"Big Pops closed the folder and looked at me, his eyes unusually serious. "They didn't hold back at all when they went after you, so why should we show mercy?"Once we crush the Stantons this time, then anyone who wants to come after you in the future will think twice. I don't ever want to see you in the hospital li

Chapter 10

I looked up curiously.Second Pops hesitated for a moment. "After the Stantons were released and sent home, they fought among themselves for quite a while."My parents had resented Sharon for selling them out at the black market. They'd been bitterly disappointed and felt they had raised an ingrate. They'd wanted to kick her out of the house.After the brain transplant surgery, Sharon was basically useless. She'd cried and begged for mercy, hoping my parents would soften toward her.That was when her biological mother had shown up.My heart gave a little jolt, a strange mix of anticipation and unease rising in my chest. "What did she say?""She threatened the Stantons. She claimed to have evidence of their crimes. If they didn't want it exposed, they had to give her a sum of money and make sure she and Sharon were properly taken care of," Second Pops said.Meeting my puzzled gaze, he went on, "She said the Stantons that you know aren't actually your parents."I froze. Then, som
