Drowned A Victim, Rose A Queen

Synopsis

My brother broke Darren Walters' leg. My asshole boyfriend. To scrape together 100 thousand dollars for his surgery, I fought with my family, cut them off, and swore I'd never go back. Yet in the end, he shoved me into an icy river. As I was dying, I heard a child's voice in my head. 'Mom, if I had another chance, I'd still want to be your child. Just... please don't pick someone like Dad next time.' When I opened my eyes, I was back on the day Darren's leg was broken. My brother, Kevin, stood there, gripping a metal pipe, his eyes bloodshot. Darren lay on the ground and looked up at me, all pathetic. "Daisy, help me." Ignoring him, I bent down, picked up a chunk of concrete, and handed it to my brother with a smile. "Here. Use this. It works better."
