The Daughter They Left to Burn
308 Views · Ongoing · Agatha Christie
They left me to die in a burning lab while saving my faker sister. Big mistake.
I hadn't slept in six months, perfecting the neural serum that would save Mom's life. One vial. One chance. Then my adopted sister Mia grabbed it and smashed it on the floor, sobbing about how cruel I was to a "disabled" person.
Mom and Dad ate it up. My fiancé Ryan nodded along—probably because he was banging Mia every chance he got. When fire trapped me in the lab, they carried out "paralyzed" Mia and left me hammering on reinforced glass, choking on smoke.
Want to know the best part? That manipulative snake hopped out of her wheelchair and sprinted to safety the second she thought no one was looking.
Second chance at life? Hell yes.
I'm watching Mia lift that test tube again, ready to destroy everything. But instead of lunging forward like last time, I lean back in my chair.
"Smash away," I say with a shrug. "I'm not the one who'll suffer."
Let's see how this plays out when I'm not the naive fool.
