I was so furious I almost crushed my phone.
Without wasting a second, I shut every window and hid all the sharp knives. Then I turned to my family. “I’m going to fix this. No one is allowed to die before I get back!”
My mother’s face went pale. “Where are you going?”
My father jumped in, equally alarmed. “Yeah, in the middle of all this chaos, where do you think you’re going?”
I stared down at Jesmira’s message, jaw clenched. “To deal with the one who caused this.”
drained the last of my savings to book a flight to Southeast Asayra. I had to see the truth with my own eyes.
When I came back, everything made sense.
The moment I landed, my father called, panic in his voice. “Jenna, come home now! Your mother, she’s about to jump!” My chest tightened in fear. Was I too late? Was it all happening again, just like last time?”
When I burst through the door, I saw Jesmira standing there. My mother was on the windowsill, teetering on the edge.? Jesmira stood beside her, spitting poison. “Go ahead, jump. At least then you’ll escape this trainwreck of a family. Maybe you’ll be born into a better one in another life.”B
My mother’s resolve faltered, but those words pushed her closer to the edge.

“You don’t know anything!” she cried.E
“Everything’s fallen apart. And your sister… if she can’t be saved, she’s finished tool Jenna, don’t blame me for being heartless. It was your father who brought this disaster on us. He ruined everything and left us with nothing!”
“Mom, it’s not Dad’s fault. It’s hers!” I pointed at Jesmira. “She’s the one who wrecked our family. Three months ago, she said our business would go bankrupt, that you and my sister would both end up dead from despair and that I’d be torn to pieces.“” My mother froze, stunned by my words.”

That very night, I had my parents list our house for sale online and by morning, we’d moved to the most remote countryside
we could find.
Before we left, I took Mom to the hospital. The test results confirmed what I had suspected all along: this was all Jesmira’s doing.”
Not long after, I sold Dad’s car, Mom’s jewelry and even my sister’s favorite dresses. My parents didn’t quite understand what I was doing, but they stood by me anyway.
