The Daughter They Wish Was Never Born
"Welcome back, sister. We've been waiting for you to wake up."
Here, in this family with no shared blood, I felt a warmth I hadn't known in years.
I slowly sat up, feeling the strength returning to my body.
"Mom," my voice was calm and firm, "from this day forward, Alessia Moretti is dead."
"I am your daughter."
The moment the words left my lips, I felt a sense of release I had never known.
The girl who humbled herself for her family, the woman tormented by poison, the daughter wronged by her loved ones. She was dead.
