(Dedicated to my twin, Penny)

"If letting go is as easy as breathing out then moving on will not be as complicated as it is."
"That's the thing about betrayal, it wouldn't come from your enemy."
For over the past three years, I had lived in secrets. Who would have thought that my already-fucked-up life will be more chaotic one day? Some unknown people wanted me dead; my parents kept me caged for so long. My discovery of my real identity made it even worse. It seemed like I was the puppet being controlled, and those puppeteers were clowns and liars. I didn't know which part of me was true and which was just pretense.
Letting go of my past wasn't easy for me, neither was embracing my present. When everyone I trusted had betrayed me, trusting others became an issue. Who else could I trust?
As I went closer to solving my life's mystery, things got even more complicated—unlocking one piece resulted to a more complex one. Would I be able to put an end to this? Wait, why did I feel a tiny glint of hesitation? Would the end be worth all the hassles and tears?
