The Deadly Amulets I Made

Synopsis

After my rich birth parents brought me back home, I somehow caused their death overnight. First, my firefighter brother screamed my name as he charged into a sea of flames during a mission. Then, my artist mother took her craft knife and slit her own throat. And my lawyer father, while working on my kidnapping case, bludgeoned his own head with a file folder. All of them left behind the same words. "Selena, we were wrong." Each body was found with a protective amulet I'd sewn for them. But after extensive testing, nothing suspicious was detected. I was acquitted. Media outlets offered sky-high sums just to get a look at my amulets. I just smiled, never speaking about my family's deaths. Then, on the seventh anniversary of their deaths, I saw a girl at the tombstone who looked almost exactly like me. Laughing through tears, I tied the last amulet around my waist. The truth was coming out. And with my death, everything would be settled.
