A smile instantly spread across my mother's face. "Good girl, Baby. You've really grown up and become so understanding."
Kimberly glanced disdainfully at my unsightly skin, pretending to be concerned. "Don't worry, sis. I'll take good care of your husband for you."
I wearily turned my head away, not wanting to look at them anymore. I just hope that the day my mother learns the truth, she won't regret it. Because her so-called "precious daughter" had done a hell of a lot more than just donate blood when she was sick.
The wedding was happening at my house in Eastlake. It was Kimberly's idea. I knew she was doing it to make me watch as everything I cared about was taken away from me, piece by piece. Still, I hadn't expected her to be this vicious. She barged into my room, dressed in a luxurious, elegant wedding gown. Her face twisted into a nasty sneer. "Not even that huge fire could kill you, Lilian. You really are one tough little cockroach."
I didn't want to waste words on her. "You've already got everything you wanted. What more do you want?"
She scoffed. "Of course, I want you dead. Only when you're dead can I rightfully become Mrs. Todd."
