📕They Loved My Adopted Brother—Until My Murder Revealed His Darkest Secret

While the criminal tortured me, slicing into my body and eventually killing me, my father—an expert investigator—and my mother—the city’s chief medical examiner—were off smiling with my brother Liam at his competition.
The man hurting me was taking revenge on my father, who had arrested him years ago. As I bled and shook, he cut out my tongue so I couldn’t scream, then used my phone to call my dad. My father only said one thing before hanging up:
“Whatever it is, your brother’s competition is the most important thing today.”
The criminal let out a dark laugh.
“Looks like I grabbed the wrong person. Guess they love their real son more.”
At the crime scene, my parents arrived later, visibly shaken by the horror—but they didn’t recognize the mangled body lying before them as their own son.
My body had been dumped in an abandoned construction building. The worker who found me vomited so hard he could barely speak when calling the police. My parents rushed to the scene straight from Liam’s celebration, still dressed for the party.
The investigator at the scene frowned and motioned for them to wear masks. Even with their years of experience—my dad, a top-tier consultant for the Chicago PD, and my mom, the leading medical examiner—this scene shook them.
The heat made everything worse. My corpse was bloated, my face reduced to a pulpy, bloody mess—unrecognizable. Wounds covered every inch. My head was barely attached to my neck by a shred of flesh. The stench of rotting flesh choked the air.
Mom closed her eyes and took a deep breath before slipping on her gloves. She knelt beside my corpse and began her examination, her eyes full of the kind of pity she had never once shown me while I was alive.
