My name is Adrian Hart. The day my sister Serena found me and brought me home, I thought I finally had a family again. I was wrong. In Serena's eyes, her adopted brother Evan mattered more than I ever would. When he was too scared to marry into a powerful family, I walked down the aisle for him. When he wanted out, I swallowed a fake-death pill and disappeared. Every time, Serena swore it was the last. The seventh time, she poured the pill down my throat herself. And that was the time I actually died. My soul stayed behind. I watched Serena stand over my body in the morgue and fail to recognize me until it was too late. And the cruelest part wasn't dying. It was knowing that, until my very last breath, my sister still wasn't on my side.

My Sister Killed Me for Her Favorite Son Chapter 7
Bayhaven blew wide open that night.Major Crimes locked down half the old quarter. Patrol cars sealed intersections. Helicopter lights swept rooftops while rain turned the streets slick as glass.Lucas Cole made it three blocks before cornering himself in a service lane behind a row of boarded-up shops. He came out shooting and died where he stood.Evan got farther.He cut through a churchyard and nearly made it to the waterfront before a K-9 unit drove him into a dead-end alley. When they dragged him out, face pressed to wet concrete, he was smiling.That smile stayed on him even after they put him in county blues.Serena insisted on sitting in on the overnight interview.Through the glass, Evan looked almost bored. Like the cuffs, the holding room, the fluorescent glare - none of it could really touch him.Serena sat down across from him."Why Adrian?" she asked.Evan leaned back in the chair. "That's what you're leading with? Not why I fooled you? Not why you never saw me coming?""

Evan didn't even wait until nightfall.Serena had barely finished speaking when her phone lit up with his name. She put him on speaker. His voice came through thin and shaky, pitched just right for sympathy."Serena, I heard about Adrian. I'm scared. Can you come home tonight? Please? I don't want to be alone."She looked at Miles.Miles gave the smallest nod.Serena's voice smoothed out at once. "Of course. Stay at Blackwood. I'll be there soon."After she hung up, Miles moved fast. "You've got the backup tracker on you?"She reached under the collar of her blouse and showed him the emergency transponder clipped beneath the fabric."Don't take it off," he said. "Keep your phone on. If you can stall, stall. If you can't, we move on the last ping."Serena picked up her keys. "If he's innocent, I've just ruined whatever's left of my life."Miles held her gaze. "And if he's not, Adrian doesn't get another apology instead of justice."By the time Serena turned through the gates of Blackwoo

Serena answered on the third ring.I had so much blood in my mouth that the first word barely made it out."Sis-"She cut straight across me. "Adrian, what now?"I tried again. "Serena, please. I-""Oh, for God's sake. Do you have any idea what kind of week I've had? Evan's graduation dinner is at the end of the month. If you pull one more stunt, I swear to God, I'll kill you myself."Then the line went dead.The warehouse fell quiet in the ugliest way.Lucas patted my face twice, almost fond. "Well. That's embarrassing."Evan slid the phone back into his pocket. "Told you. She'd rather lose him than inconvenience me."I didn't cry. I think I had gone too far past heartbreak by then. All that was left was the hollow sound of the last hope in me giving way.Lucas caught my chin. "Your sister wants you gone? We can do that."After that, memory got patchy.A blade flashing low.My body going colder by the minute.Evan's voice, pleased and far away.And then nothing.Back in the present, r

Serena went absolutely still.For a second she just stood there with the phone pressed to her ear when Miles was already moving."Where's the scene?" he asked. "We're on our way."Thirty minutes later, a black department SUV rolled to a stop outside an abandoned warehouse on the east side of the Bayhaven docks.An officer held out my phone in an evidence bag. "We found it near the north wall. Lot of blood around it. From what we've seen so far, this looks like the primary scene."The minute Serena saw the dark blue case, her fingers shook.She had bought it for my twentieth birthday.She keyed in her own birthday without thinking. The screen lit up.Miles said quietly, "Could mean someone picked it up. Or he dropped it before the killer got to him."Serena said nothing and stepped farther into the warehouse and looked around.The place smelled like rust and old seawater. Blood had dried black-brown across one section of wall. A cheap chair lay on its side. Rope, torn tape, drag marks. P

The seventh time I married in Evan's place, my sister handed me the bottle again."Adrian, this is the last time," Serena said. "Once you help Evan test this marriage, I'll stop standing in the way of the woman you want."She said it like she was discussing dinner plans, not asking me to risk my lif

In the end, Serena took the boy to file a report.She chose her words carefully when she told him the office had just received an unidentified young male victim and that, if he wanted, they could begin basic identification procedures.For a second, it looked like his legs might give out entirely.Th

When the memory broke, I was back in the morgue.Serena's phone rang.The second she saw the caller ID, the tension in her face melted into something soft."Evan? What is it, sweetheart? Missing me already?"I didn't need to hear his side to know he was pouting in that spoiled, honey-sweet voice tha
