$Gasping for air in the biting blizzard, I dragged my fractured, cast-bound leg through the snow after my sister kicked me down the front steps. She stomped her designer heel directly onto my cast, laughing, “Go sleep in the alley with that filthy beggar you chose over your own family!” I didn’t beg for mercy, instead staring past her at the convoy of black SUVs pulling up, led by that very beggar—now the ruthless real estate tycoon who just bought their ancestral estate. I brushed the ice from my cheek and whispered to him, “Bulldoze the house with her things inside.”$
