Holy fucking shit! This has to be Knox’s mom’s suicide note! I’m confused but also curious now because I want to know what she left for him to see.

I hold the paper in my hand and rush out of his room and into mine. I quickly grab my laptop before hopping onto my bed and pulling up the website.

I have to hurry because I don’t know how long Knox will take to come back and I don’t want to be caught snooping in his shit.

I log in and I gasp in shock when I open the first folder. It has tons of pictures of my mom and Knox’s father. I open another one and this one has information saying that my mother and Knox’s father have been in a relationship for years. I’m so fucking confused as I keep on reading.

There’s one where Knox’s mom talks about his father working late and going away on business trips. The investigator must have looked into it and found out all those times, especially when he went on trips, he was with my mother.

He was with my freaking mother!

Holy fucking shit!

A thought crosses my mind. Knox has seen all of this. No wonder he fucking hated me when he first saw me. His dad and my mom were having an affair for years and that’s why his mom killed herself.

It was because she couldn’t deal with it anymore. I can’t imagine what that must have been like, to live and know that your husband was having an affair for your whole marriage.

Oh my God! I’m going to be sick!

I rush into my bathroom and throw up until all the contents of my stomach are out. I make my way back to my room with tears running down my face. I can’t believe all the shit that I just saw and read.

I guess I understand the reason for his hate, but I literally had nothing to do with that. Now I don’t know how to feel or even act around him, knowing what I know now.

I open the last folder and fucking wish I would have left well enough alone. The contents of the last one, is the one that breaks me.

It’s a report of a DNA test, confirming that Jonathan Riverside is ninety-nine-point-nine percent the father of Raine Carrington…

I throw up right there. I thought that was all I had in my stomach but I guess not. Gut-wrenching sobs rip through my body and disbelief, hate and anger consume me.

I’ve been lied to my whole life.

Another thought sneaks into my mind as realization dawns and I literally want to die now.

Knox knew about all of this.

Knox tormented me because of this.

Knox slept with me, but most importantly,

Knox is my fucking half-brother…

Twenty-Three

RAINE

I sit thereon the floor, beside my bed, as my mind goes over every single piece of information that I just found. My mind is still reeling with the shock of it all. It feels like I’m in an alternate universe. I still can’t believe any of this is happening.

Everything I’ve ever known, when it comes to my life, has been nothing but a fucking lie. The three of them knew, and none of them thought to tell me about it even though it concerns me more than any of them. I should have been told about this, but instead, this information was used against me by Knox…

I let out a hollow sounding laugh at just how stupid I was, not that I could have guessed that this was the reason why Knox hated me so much in the first place. Maybe he still does and is just playing another one of his sick games. I guess I’ll never really know, will I?

The emotions of it all are clawing their way back up my throat, suffocating me as I’m filled with more anger, betrayal, and most of all hurt. The hurt that the people around me have caused. They were the ones who were supposed to protect me and not let all this shit touch me. I guess that’s what you get when you have nothing but selfish people around you.

My mother and sperm donor hid it from me all this time to protect themselves and their affair, while Knox used that knowledge to hurt me.

My mind goes over every single thing that has happened between us from the beginning. I’m not kidding when I say that I want nothing more than to die right now. How could I be such a fool?

He hurt me, punished me, and used me, all the while knowing that he was my ha-half-brother. I can barely bring myself to think of the words. Who the hell does half the shit he’s done?
