I had reported everything to the police, providing surveillance footage of Eliana’s staged death and the funeral home incident.
Though they had initially delayed the investigation citing insufficient evidence, now the proof was overwhelming.
Eliana and her family were taken into custody, and I was finally cleared of all accusations.
Given the case’s massive impact, the police released a summary of their findings.
After coming home with Caleb, Eliana had endured even more brutal abuse than before.
By the time she appeared in that livestream, he had already amputated her legs.
Caleb’s threats had kept her silent about her condition.
The viral social media post, it turned out, had been Zoey’s secret attempt to set me up for Eliana’s eventual death.
Despite her disturbing behavior, Zoey was still only seven and hadn’t grasped the magnitude of what she’d done or anticipated the overwhelming public response.

Zoey was placed in her biological father’s custody.
Meanwhile, Grace’s affair with her first love was discovered by the man’s wife. During the ensuing confrontation, she fell into a body of water and drowned.
Later, reading Grace’s diary, I discovered the full truth about Eliana and myself.

The photos in the diary revealed one final twist. Zoey’s father was the son of Grace’s first lover.
The consanguineous relationship explained Zoey’s genetic predisposition to violence.
Though Zoey might escape consequences now due to her youth, I knew her actions would catch up with her one day.
