“Cover that disgusting scar before people lose their appetite,” my brother sneered, and my sister laughed while my burned arm shook above the barbecue table.

“My son has been arrested—right in front of everyone!” Evan whispered over the phone. I rushed to his office, where his father-in-law calmly told me, “Competition has no room for sentiment.” I said nothing.

I froze in the hallway when I heard my stepson whisper into his phone, “I cut his brake lines. By tomorrow, Dad will be dead.” He had no idea I was standing three feet behind him. I didn’t scream.

I stood proudly in the crowd as the man I had sacrificed everything for walked across the stage to receive his diploma. For six years, I worked two jobs and buried my own dreams to pay his tuition.

I was still shivering from the epidural when my husband threw a pen onto my hospital bed. Beside him, his pregnant mistress was already holding my newborn daughter. "Sign the parental rights over to her," he commanded. My mother-in-law sneered, "A penniless orphan like you can't raise a Vanderbilt." As I bled through my sheets, I didn't cry.
