Chapter 76

I should be terrified of that prospect, but I’m not. I swear I am broken, and if it were Alexi making threats on my life, I would probably be a hysterical puddle on the floor, yet here I am, solid and stable as a rock. I’m strangely calm and devoid of feeling, much like I was when Tyler’s men made it clear that day that it was the end of my road. I told Sophie something about me because I had no one else to remember it after I was gone. Who I was, my real name. After a lifetime of being invisible, I was disappearing, and I told her something true and meaningless. I don’t know why; I guess it was like an acceptance that I never amounted to anything, and someone should know a girl named Lisa once lived in this body.

Lisa was born with so much promise… but fate gave her a shit path, and she died somewhere after her eleventh birthday. She fought to survive and hurt countless girls in the process; her death will not mean anything to anyone, and therefore, I feel nothing about it ha
