This is the story I was told never to speak of-and I didn't-until now!
We were a seemingly perfect family. With a mom, a dad, and five beautiful little girls. But behind closed doors it was anything but. He wasn't our dad, and she wasn't our mom-or at least, not the mom we had known in the past. For seven years he would reign over our household, leaving a trail
of shattered souls, murderous rampages, and a missing child in the wake of his destruction. He was a monster in every sense of the word, and there was no escaping his psychopathic actions. His brutality would maim, shatter, and destroy an entire family.
You, as my readers, will walk this unforgettable journey with me as I finally share my forbidden story, and perhaps you can help solve a mystery that has haunted me for more than four decades.

You can read the uncut version of this book over on https://archiveofourown.org/works/61769338 Life could be so unfair, everyone adored my big sister Ava, yes everyone. Ava was the most popular girl in school, she was outgoing, beautiful, and shone like a radiant star. Our parents told her she could easily be a model or anything she wanted really, and Ava with all the confidence of a film star strode through life dazzling all in her wake. She had thousands of followers on her Instagram, Whatsapp, and Tic Toc, and what did I have. Well I had a creative streak and an introverted nature, and I lived in Ava's shadow. The only reason it seemed anyone spoke to me was to get my big sister's attention. I felt like a butler or a handmaiden to a Queen. It was like I never had my own identity. No one saw me at all, until that one day someone did, and I remember it like yesterday. Did I make a good decision probably not, would I do it again, I am unsure. But just once someone noticed me, yes me, and it felt so good. It was good at first, but by the time I had realized the good would never last, the jaws of the trap were closed. I was far away and at his mercy, and yet another stood by me, one who could rescue me from my mistakes.Complete
