CHAPTER 1 :
My own father smashed a brick into my face because my fiancé refused to leave me for my younger sister. As I lay bleeding on the front lawn, my mother laughed and sneered, "Let's see if Wyatt still loves you with that face." They thought they had destroyed my future—but by the time I reached the hospital, six witnesses and one forgotten will were already turning their nightmare into my evidence.
My name is Sadie Davis, and the day my family tried to ruin my life was the day they unknowingly sealed their own fate.
One moment, I was standing on the cracked sidewalk outside my parents' house in Columbus, wearing the light blue dress I'd bought to announce my wedding date over family dinner.
The next moment, everything exploded into white.
I never even saw my father's arm swing.
The brick struck my face with a sickening crack that I felt more than heard. Warm blood poured over my eyebrow, down my cheek, and onto my lips as my knees buckled beneath me.
Before my face could hit the porch steps, Wyatt caught me.
"Sadie! Stay with me! Look at me!"
I tried to open my left eye.
Nothing.
Only darkness.
With my right eye, I saw my mother standing beside the porch swing.
She wasn't horrified.
She wasn't crying.
She was laughing.
"Let's see if Wyatt still loves you with that face," she said, smiling as though she had just delivered the perfect joke.
My father calmly dropped the broken brick onto the grass.
"I warned you," he muttered.
Wyatt stared at him in disbelief.
"What have you done?"
No one answered.
Then my younger sister, Melanie, stepped out of the house wearing an expensive dress and an annoyed expression, as though my blood had interrupted her evening.
"I told you she wouldn't move," she said.
Mom sighed dramatically.
"We tried asking nicely."
Wyatt gently lowered me against one of the porch columns before standing to face them.
"Every one of you is sick."
Dad pointed at Melanie.
"No. You're just engaged to the wrong daughter."
Even through the blinding pain, those words cut deeper than the brick.
"What?" Wyatt whispered.
"Melanie should've been the one you chose," Mom said coldly. "Sadie has always been selfish."
Melanie looked down at me without a hint of sympathy.
"And you still picked her."
Wyatt reached for his phone to call 911.
Dad kicked it across the porch, shattering the screen.
"No one's calling anybody."
Wyatt shoved him away, and within seconds they crashed into the rose bushes. My parents didn't try to stop the fight.
Neither did Melanie.
They simply watched.
That's when I understood something even more terrifying than the blood running down my face.
This hadn't been a moment of rage.
It had been planned.
Ever since Wyatt sold his construction company for millions, my family had started circling him like vultures. First came the invitations to dinner. Then endless compliments. Soon Melanie began "accidentally" showing up at his gym, his office, his favorite coffee shop—even outside our apartment.
He rejected her every single time.
She convinced my parents I was manipulating him.
"You're marrying Melanie," Dad shouted while struggling with Wyatt, "or you're no longer family."
"I love Sadie!" Wyatt yelled back.
"You'll get over her," Melanie replied without emotion.
Just then, a utility truck pulled up in front of the house.
The electrician stepped out, took one look at my face, and immediately grabbed his phone.
"I'm calling an ambulance."
Dad started toward him.
The man pointed straight at him.
"Take one more step, and I'll tell the dispatcher you're attacking me too."
For the first time all evening...
My father stopped.
Minutes later, flashing lights filled the street.
As the paramedics lifted me into the ambulance, I looked back one last time at my parents' house.
An elderly man I had never seen before stood behind the living room curtain, his trembling hand pressed against the glass as if he wanted to warn me about something.
Then the curtain slowly closed.
I had no idea that before the night was over, I would ask the hospital to preserve every piece of evidence—and that six witnesses and one forgotten will were about to destroy everything my family thought they controlled.
