After learning their lesson, they 

regretted it

Chapter

My folks, trying to knock some sense into me

faked a DNA test, claiming I wasn’t their real 

daughter. 

My brother, ignoring my pleas, was all too 

eager to shove me into a mental hospital

You’re nothing but trouble, why don’t you 

just drop dead?he’d sneer

And my fiancé, the guy I was headover- 

heels for, just stood there, cold as ice, even 

pulling strings to make sure I suffered in that 

hellhole

Five years

Five years to learn my lesson

Now, all of a sudden, they want the old

spoiled me back

  1. 1

Ashley, what’s with the princess act again

Being out this late, are you trying to make us 

all worry?” 

That’s my brother, Chad, his voice dripping 

with annoyance on the phone

The Landrys finally let me out of the loony 

bin

く 

Because it’s Brittany’s birthday, and she’s 

feeling generous enough to give me another 

chance

Then Dad takes over the phone

I know you resent us for sending you away

but you were always so disobedient and mean 

to Brittany

We did it for your own good!” 

Chad chimes in, Exactly, and we got you out 

now, right

What more do you want?” 

They keep nagging until, half an hour later

they’re finally done lecturing and start asking 

where I am

זי 

Where are you right now

We’ll send a car to pick you up

And behave this time, got it?” 

I swallow hard, my throat rasping

The mental hospital.” 

Yeah

I’ve been sitting here since dawn, not moving 

an inch

Silence on the other end, then a louder

angrier voice

く 

You’re at the hospital and you can’t get 

home yourself

Do we have to come get you

You know the way!” 

Who are you trying to fool with this act

Still holding a grudge, huh

I knew you hadn’t learned your lesson, maybe 

we shouldn’t have brought you home after 

all!” 

They seem to have forgotten that they were 

the ones who told me to stay put

I’mI’m sorry, Mr. Landry, Chad, I didn’t 

mean to.” 

The apology is automatic

Silence again

Probably stunned by my compliance, or 

maybe by how I addressed them

Five years ago, we were a family, close as 

could be, if it weren’t for that damn DNA test

I never would have imagined that I, who looks 

eight parts like Mom and Dad, wasn’t really 

their daughter

Whatever!” 

He sounds defeated

I’ll have your brother pick you up!”
