Chapter 50 Chapter 1 : The Rebirth of Clara Granger . -Clara's POV : I stared at the receptionist with complete confusion . What was I doing back here ? My name is Clara Granger ; I was a groundbreaking world - renowned bio- chemist creating groundbreaking lifesaving medicines . I was also murdered at the age of 29 at the hands of my husband , father , and stepsister . Right now , however , I was staring in the face of the clerk at Bartrum Private Academy , asking if I would be applying to Lexington's pre - biochemistry early admission program . Lexington was one of Glendale's most prominent schools of Pharmacy . It was also the alma mater my parents , Caroline and Jameson Granger went . My parents got married straight after undergrad . My father wanted to be married before they entered pharmacy school together . Everyone always talked about the storybook romance my parents had . " Your father loved your mother so much ! It's rare you seen that type of love . " It is what I would hear all the time from people who thought they knew them. But the truth was , my father was a notorious cheater who often mentally , verbally , and emotionally abused my mother . Jealous of her genius , my dad couldn't handle constantly living in the shadow of the great Caroline Rouleau . They weren't aware of all the anguish she'd suffered at the hands of my father up until the day she died in a violent car crash . I was thirteen when my mother died . The day after , my father brought home his mistress Anna and their lovechild Sophie . With no regard for my feelings , my father expected my to be okay with this new arrangement . " This is your sister Sophie . I expect you to treat her and your new mother with respect . " He'd barked his orders without even an ounce of remorse . In the beginning my stepmother and sister played the dutiful mother and sister . Pretending to be considerate and caring forcing my guard down before their true intentions began to show . It started one evening when I came home from school . On my way to my room , I noticed Sophie wearing a white - gold necklace with a pink heart . It belonged to my mother ; it was the color of our birthstone as we shared the same month . Angry , I walked straight up to Sophie and demanded she give it back . " Where did you get that ! Have you been in my room ? " Sophie looked at me with half innocent eyes . Tears began to form as she shook nervously . " Oh , my gosh Clara ! I'm so sorry ! I went into your room looking for you and I noticed it on your vanity . I thought being your sister , you wouldn't mind if I wore it. " I tried my best to conceal my anger , after all , I never explained to her what that necklace meant to me . Holding back my frustration , I calmed my voice . " It's fine Sophie . Just please take it off , it was the last thing I brought my mother before she died . It holds sentimental value . " As soon as I reached my hand out to take the necklace , Sophie fell backwards onto the floor hurting her leg . THUMP ! Sophie let out a loud yelp causing our parents to run over . Suddenly , she grabbed my leg and began begging for my forgiveness . " Please Clara ! I'm so sorry ! I didn't know I wasn't allowed to touch your necklace ! It won't happen again ! " Loud sobs followed as she continued to beg for my forgiveness . In state a shock , all I could do is stare at her . Suddenly , her mother came falling to the floor . " Clara ! I know you don't want us here . I would never try and replace your mother but please , don't take your hatred out our daughter ! We'll leave if it means you'll be happy ! " Confused by her words , I began to protest . I hadn't even touched Sophie , let alone told them to leave .
