I was known as the bad girl in my town. At eight years old, I pushed my brother Hayden Lynn into a pond just to steal a chicken leg from him. When I was seventeen, Hayden was badly hurt and given a critical notice. My parents came to my school, begging me to visit him one last time. But I was too busy writing a love letter to the boy I liked to even look at them. When I turned twenty-eight, my company promoted me to work overseas. Right before I left, my parents grabbed me in front of everyone, crying and yelling, "How can you leave your sick brother and your aging parents behind? Zoe, do you have no heart?" I shook off their hands and said coldly, "No, I don't."
