Story

The story

The day the Hayes family brings home their biological daughter Celeste, Aria—raised as their own for eighteen years—already has her bags packed. But her adoptive parents refuse to let her return to her old town, insisting the mansion has room for both daughters. Celeste, however, cannot bear to share it.

On-demand tears, a bathtub of sleeping pills, slit wrists, a rooftop proclamation: each of Celeste's performances points every accusing finger at Aria. Her fiancé Julian, whose engagement now shifts to Celeste, turns on her too. Yet Aria holds her ground, calmly suggesting Celeste needs a mental health check-up—and quietly retrieves an unmarked package from outside her room.

If the Hayes family knew Celeste was poisoning the whole household, would they still love their real daughter?

Opening excerpt

"I'll head back to the village. Make room for the real one."

My parents' smiles were strained as they pressed a hand on my suitcase.

"Nonsense. This house is big enough for ten daughters. You're not going anywhere."

On the first day, the real daughter, Celeste, saw me, her eyes welled up with perfect, on-demand tears.
