Ch. For Adopted Daughter, My Parents Ruin Me Ch 16 For Adopted Daughter, My Parents Ruin Me Ch 16

Chapter 16 

Before anyone could accept the truth, I dissected the lyrics–line by line, word by word. 

These were my memories, my experiences. Julienne had no way of knowing them. She mimicked the techniques, the creative process, but the stories woven into the song? Those were mine alone. 

The moment the crowd turned on her, demanding, “If you wrote this, explain the meaning behind the lyrics,” she faltered. Stumbling over her words, she cast desperate glances at her parents–but they looked away, leaving her stranded in humiliation. 

By nightfall, Julienne was a spectacle, the

internet’s favorite scandal. My brother’s company stayed silent; PR never lifted a finger. 

Furious, she stormed into their home that evening, hissing at my brother, “You think I won’t expose you? Tell everyone how you hired someone to kill your own sister?” 

His face darkened. “After everything I’ve done for you? You’d stab me in the back?” 

Julienne’s lips curled into something cold. “I found the men you paid. Either stand by me like before, or I’ll make sure you rot in prison.” 

My father clutched his chest, choking out 

curses. 

“Pathetic” she sneered. “You couldn’t even save face for me onstage tonight.”

The words hit like a blade. He collapsed, gasping–then stillness. 

My mother screamed, begging my brother to help, but it was too late. Grief swallowed her next; she fainted beside his body. 

Blind with rage, my brother seized the ashtray and swung. Julienne’s mocking laugh shattered with her teeth. Blood sprayed as she clawed at him, screeching about calling the police. 

He didn’t stop. Blow after blow, until her skull cracked under his fury. 

They arrested him that night. 

In his final confession, he admitted it all- the hired men, the failed plot. He’d wanted to apologize before the trial. I refused.

His last words were a whisper. “I owed my sister a life. Now I’ve repaid it.” 

They executed him one month after my father’s death. 

My mother never recovered. The strokes left her hollow, a ghost in a nursing home bed. 

No one claimed Julienne’s ashes. Her fans spat on her memory, erasing her like a stain. 

As the last Montclair, I inherited everything. My brother’s will spelled it out plainly. All to her. 

But forgiveness? No. I’ll hate him until my 

own end. 

This was justice. They earned their ruin. 

And my life?

The End. 

Book 2 The Cursed Misfortune Daughter Is About To Die 

My family has always seen me as a harbinger of misfortune. It’s all because I can see a countdown to my relatives‘ deaths. I tell them when my grandfather, father, and mother will die. And it all comes true–due to various accidents. My three brothers hate me to the core because they think I cursed our parents and grandfather. 

My mother died after giving birth to my younger sister, yet my brothers shower her with endless affection. They call her their “lucky star, claiming everything in the family started going well after she was born. But

didn’t Mom die giving birth to her? 

On my 18th birthday, I look at myself in the mirror and see my own countdown to death. I buy an urn that I like and prepare a meal. I want to share one last meal with my brothers, but not a single one of them shows up–even when the timer hits zero…
