The Five-Year Scam
Nine Thoughtsmy stepmom mistreated me brutally, assuming i was the paramourknocked up by my nemesiswhen i found her in the dirt, i swore they'd all payi hurt her and she disappeared
They agreed and left without a second glance, with laughter and music drifting from the courtyard as I lay gasping in the dirt like a dying dog.
