My younger sister, Amaya Reed, has died in the luxurious villa belonging to Jayden Parker, the richest man in the city.
News of the beautiful celebrity taking her own life due to depression is spread like wildfire. But I've already received the actual news of Amaya being tortured to death.
This all happened because of Amaya's uncanny resemblance to Jayden's first love, Louise Green. Louise was jealous of her due to her looks, so Jayden held a torture party in his villa. All the guests partied the night away while trampling all over Amaya's corpse.
"Haven't you always wanted to replace Louise? Well, you can die in her stead, then!"

"As long as you remain obedient, Ariana, I can promise you a lifetime of luxury and riches."
I pretend to whine coquettishly. "But I just want you, Mr. Parker."
My heart is as cold as ice when I utter those words.
I don't want your love nor your money, Jayden. I just want your life.
