After My Soul Was Trapped for Three Years, the Truth Finally Rose From the Grave

"The fireworks James lit for Juliet's birthday exploded brilliantly, illuminating the sky above the mental hospital."

"Honestly, I was so jealous of her. She was the pampered princess showered with endless affection, while I was merely her blood bag. My parents gave birth to me so they could use my umbilical cord blood to keep Juliet alive."

"I still remember that day when they were going to take my kidney; it was James who rushed into the hospital and saved me. He said he would protect me with his life. Who could have guessed that after all these years and all we've been through, he would be the one to send me to this mental hospital personally?"

"On my first day here, they damaged one of my kidneys and broke three of my ribs. They said it was on James's orders, to make me remember my lesson."

"James, I've remembered my lesson. I've given back the life I owed you. From now on, we're even."

I hovered in front of the television, my heart filled with a mix of emotions.

Before Juliet appeared, James was so good to me.

He would stand up for me when Juliet bullied me. He would secretly bring me food when my parents locked me in the basement. He was the one who saw me through the most difficult times of my life.

But he was also the one who betrayed our love and personally sent me into this hell.

James stared coldly at the images on the screen and let out a scornful laugh. "Even? Mia, don't think a few fake tears and this pathetic act will make me forgive you. The sins you've committed can never be atoned for in this lifetime!"

Juliet hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

It earned her praise from everyone in the live stream for her beauty and kindness. No one noticed her gaze fixed intently on a pair of severed arms in the corner.

"Don't blame my sister anymore. She just made a mistake in a moment of confusion. Actually, it's all my fault. If I hadn't told you about Mia's affair, none of this would have happened … "

James, who had been somewhat conflicted, felt only endless disgust in his eyes after hearing these words.

My parents also looked disdainful upon hearing this.

My father scoffed, "Mia, that wretched girl, has been flirting with men since she was a kid."

"Once when she came home, she even claimed the doctor at the hospital had harassed her. Huh, there is no fire without smoke. If she wasn't that flirty, why would she run into all these problems?" my mother followed.

Now, the live chat was filled with scornful comments.

Everyone said I was inherently immoral and my entire career as a star was built on using my body to climb to the top.

[I heard Mia slept with everyone from top to bottom in the crew to steal Juliet's role, even the makeup artist wasn't spared.]

[Poor our goddess Juliet, bullied by that bitch Mia for so many years.]

While everyone was furious, only Malcolm looked grave. Without waiting for James to speak, he played the next video.

"October 20th. I'm in so much pain. It turns out that people really have no dignity here."

"Ever since Juliet came to see me, everyone here has been bullying me. They pour leftovers into the toilet and force me to lick them clean. They use razor blades to carve the word 'whore' on my body over and over again."

"I struggle desperately. So, they strapped me into the electric chair until I peed my pants before they released me. They surrounded me and laughed. They said the way I convulsed on the ground looked like a dog and they even filmed it and uploaded it online."

"Did you see that video, James? What were you thinking when you saw that?"

The date had changed.

"October 21st. That video went viral and they started torturing me even more severely. Someone even put me up for auction on the dark web and I don't know who it was."
