Things have been unraveling in Lynn's life recently and she can't quite figure out how to make it stop, how to regain control. She's so alone - especially after her best friend was murdered. The major issue here is Maggie's murderer hasn't been found. There were no clues left behind and anything there could have been, Lynn contaminated by entering the crime scene.

She blames herself. How could she have been so stupid? But, honestly, what would you have done if you had found your best friend lying in a pool of her own blood? Run out the door screaming, literally and ironically, "BLOODY MURDER!!!!"?

It's all Lynn sees, all she dreams as the days and nights tick by with this "cold case" looming over the town's head. For the townsfolk it's an ugly blemish that should've been buried with Maggie. But for Lynn, the nightmare is only beginning.

Desperate for answers, she's doing whatever she can to find out why this happened and who it could have been.

Even if it kills her, too....

Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in running on 2/2/25 #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in abusing #2 in pastabuse #2 in nightterror #4 in olderbrother #3 in brokenfamily #5 in mafiaprincess #9 in siblings #34 in siblingrivalry #34 in littlesister #44 in ptsd #51 in misunderstood #59 in mafia
