The Exposé: My Ungrateful Ward
Hilda Oakley, the charity case Mom and Dad take in, steals my family right out from under me.
She slips drugs into me, driving me into a bipolar disorder. She turns me into someone who snaps and screams at Mom and Dad without meaning to.
She paints me as someone rotten inside, as the bully at school, and as someone who'd shove her down the stairs at home.
And because of that, my whole family turns on me. Mom calls me a bad seed. Dad says I'm no daughter of his. Then, they adopt Hilda and throw me out in the dead of winter.
My bipolar flares. Naked, I sprint onto the rooftop and jump to my death.
When I'm reborn, I realize I can make the thoughts in other people's heads audible. So, at the dinner table, I let Hilda's thoughts spill right before Mom and Dad.
'I kept that witch Valerie drugged for three years. She finally broke! They still don't suspect that Alex isn't really her brother. He's Susan's son. Once we poison Valerie's parents, the Coopers' fortune will belong to us.'
