Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 1

SHOCKING NEWS!

A gruesome high-society murder has rocked Cresden City today.

The victim has been identified as Elena, the beloved daughter of the Sterling Group dynasty.

Her head was discovered by a fishing enthusiast on the riverbank.

The rest of her remains have yet to be located.

Upon hearing the news, the Sterling family collapsed in tears.

Elena was their only daughter, cherished not only by her doting parents but also by her five adoring older brothers.

"Is that... me? Am I already dead?" Elena watched as her parents and brothers sobbed inconsolably.

A crowd of reporters swarmed the scene, cameras flashing.

"Dad, Mom, my brothers... it's me, Elena!" Elena tried to move toward them, but her body simply drifted away.

She looked down at herself. Was she a ghost now, a lost soul?

She remembered dinner with her family at the hotel yesterday. She had gotten into a car, and then... nothing. Her memory was a blank.

The Sterlings' grief was a raw, agonizing display as they pleaded with the police to find the killer quickly.

Refusing all interviews, the family was escorted home under the protection of their bodyguards.

Elena followed them, a silent shadow.

She couldn't understand why she was dead.

But once they were inside the Sterling mansion, the masks fell. Her parents and five brothers transformed.

The heart-wrenching sorrow vanished.

Her father, Thomas Sterling, spoke in a harsh tone. "Harrison Sterling, what kind of sloppy job was that? Why would you dump her head there? It was found way too fast. Weren't you supposed to handle it cleanly?"

"Dad, I thought the river would carry it away! How was I supposed to know some damned fisherman would pull it up? Forget that, what am I supposed to do with the rest of the body parts in my car?"

Harrison was panicking. The missing pieces of the corpse were hidden in his vehicle.

Her mother, Melissa Sterling, snapped, "Why didn't you dump it all at once? What are you keeping it for?"

"I figured I'd scatter the pieces in different places, so no one would ever find them. I never thought this would happen! If the police find them in my car, I'm finished!"
