Betrayed: When My Family Killed MeChapter 1
I was reborn.
The corn in the pantry turned red. My mom, Linda, thinking it was a good omen and wanted to give them to my nephew, Zed.
When I found out, I burned the corn and the pantry.
Linda slapped me because of ruining Zed's luck.
My brother and his wife, Jeremy and Amanda, beat me until I died.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day Linda was going to give the red corn to Zed.

Linda said, "With these corn, Little Zed will be smarter."
Linda holding the corn with both hands, her eyes gleaming.
In the basket, some corn had turned red.
I was still in a daze.
Linda slapped me hard. "What are you staring at? Go make the corn!"
My face stung with pain as I came to my senses. I looked at the kitchen where the red corn were boiling.
I realized I had been reborn.
Suppressing my excitement, I quickly started working.
She looked at me with contempt, her eyes full of disdain. "Girls are such good-for-nothing! You earn just 2,000 dollars a month, eat and live in my house. Useless!"
I took a deep breath, swallowing my bitterness.
As the aroma of the corn filled the room, Zed returned from a day out with his parents.
