03:29to kick you out you're the imposter here remember that hit a nerve she lunged at me with the syringe
03:38again but just as the needle was about to hit my skin my phone started buzzing violently she snatched
03:44it from me watching the screen light up with call after call a twisted smile spread across her face as
03:49she rejected each one wow you've really got them wrapped around your finger you disappear for 10

04:11all of them
04:14and when they find out it was you they'll bury you chloe didn't seem to care
04:18she pulled out a dagger preparing to harm me again suddenly the bathroom door started shaking
04:24like someone was trying to break it down vivian are you in there it was sebastian in a flash of
04:31panic
04:31chloe shoved me hard into one of the stalls
04:36you make one sound and i will gut you right here she was completely unhinged she'd actually do it
04:44if something happened to me then mom and dad no absolutely not i was an orphan for 18 years
04:51i wasn't about to lose the only family i'd ever known the restroom door burst open
04:59sebastian oh my god i'm sorry i have the worst crampses i didn't hear you viv's not in here
05:05sebastian ignored her completely
05:08vivian viv are you in there is someone messing with you
05:15the tip of her blade digging deeper into my skin i felt a warm trickle of blood start to run
05:20down
05:21my side he pressed a hand to his side his face a ghostly white something must have happened to vivian
05:29come on you have to help me find her just then his phone rang and he took off running down
05:33the hall
05:34while answering it the police had just traced my phone to a fake location in the bronx
05:38she'd spoofed the gps wow he really does care about you which is exactly why you're never going home
05:46get her to the abandoned warehouse outside the city the soundproofing there is perfect
05:51i'm going to teach her what happens when you try to take what's mine
05:55her little minion slapped a strip of duct tape over my mouth then pulled a disposable face mask over it
06:00to
06:00hide the tape with the knife still pressed to my back they shoved me out a side exit and into
06:05the
06:05back of a black suv idling by the curb they threw me onto the back seat and right there on
06:10the curb
06:11was sebastian waiting for our other brother william to pick him up he saw the suv and his eyes lit
06:16up
06:17when he recognized summer in the passenger seat he jogged over and tapped on her window summer
06:21harrington you're in vivian's english class have you seen her
06:25no haven't seen her i slammed my foot into the back of summer seat this was my only chance
06:31sebastian's gaze flickered past summer toward the tinted back window i met his eyes
06:38drive now the girl pressed the knife harder against my side outside the car sebastian and
06:45william both jerked in pain the duct tape held my own screams captive all i could do was watch
06:50as william's car sped past us going north that evening in an abandoned warehouse chloe stared at
06:57me tied to a rusted iron pillar vivian kensington you really are something else you've been home for
07:05what 24 hours and you have the whole family bewitched right now over a hundred kensingtons are out
07:12looking for you extended family the elders everyone even my grandfather has been called back he's on a
07:19private jet from his place in florida flying back to new york as we speak i thrashed against the ropes
07:24trying to warn her about the blood valve she just strode forward and kicked me right in my stomach
07:31the pain was blinding explosive i crumpled to the floor unable to move chloe crouched down
07:37she ripped the duct tape from my mouth in one brutal motion
07:41tell me what's so damn special about you is it this face that little drop of kendington blood in
07:48your veins no it's it's the vow the blood vow when i'm hurt they get hurt too the blood vow
07:58what is
07:58this an episode of some teen drama if i die the entire kensington family they all die with me well
08:06if that's true then this works out perfectly if they're gone then no one is left to replace me
08:12then everything the kensingtons have will be mine
08:17outside the warehouse the wail of distant sirens cut through the night it only made the hatred in
08:23chloe's eyes burn brighter that life should have been mine for 18 years i was their perfect daughter
08:32and then you show up and suddenly i'm nothing i was just going to scare you teach you a lesson
08:40but now now i've changed my mind
08:46chloe ripped a fresh piece of duct tape and slapped it back over my mouth
08:49then backed away toward the door by the time i get back to the estate they'll get a call about
08:54a tragic
08:55fire and then the kensingtons will only have one daughter left
08:59they'll have no choice but to love me
09:05vivian kensington enjoy the show i twisted pulling against my restraints
09:11shredding my wrists raw but it was no use the warehouse was small smoke filled it fast
09:16hot thick hard to breathe then i heard voices outside
09:22sebastian did they did they find her no william's guy said they tracked her phone
09:29as chloe tried to pull him away i slammed my head backward against the cord
09:34sebastian whipped around but at that exact moment a rat scurried out from under a pile of junk
09:39there was only one thing left to do i bit down on my own tongue
09:44outside sebastian cried out in pain he stared directly at the locked warehouse door
09:52sebastian what are you doing we have to go we have to find her
09:58suddenly a candle fell to the floor with a whoosh the inside of the warehouse exploded in flames
10:04at the same instant sebastian's skin temperature began to skyrocket just like mine
10:13it was a decoy seb the gps was spooked she's not there sebastian didn't hesitate sebastian no
10:20she's not in there what are you doing before she could finish several cars screeched to a halt
10:28chloe's three little minions were thrown out onto the asphalt then my family emerged
10:33every single one of them was coughing
10:38get her get my granddaughter out of there now
10:45my mother rushed to his side clutching her own throat my father richard was wheezing
10:50if my daughter doesn't come out alive every last one of you goes down with her
10:55every kensington family member present was coughing uncontrollably as if they were suffocating in the fire
11:00itself when i opened my eyes again i was in a hospital then i heard the nurses gossiping
11:05it's the craziest thing i've ever seen the entire direct line of the kinstans
11:11all admitted for severe smoke inhalation i heard they all woke up at the exact same second too
11:17it's the biggest medical anomaly in the hospital's history
11:21i looked over at the nurse i knew it wasn't medicine it was blood
11:26when i returned to the estate chloe was bound to a chair but she was still smiling
11:32are you insane chloe
11:38she's your sister and you tried to kill her
11:43sister before she came back wasn't i your only sister so you decided to murder her what was i supposed
11:51to do did any of you even think about me for one second the moment she walked through that door
11:57all of you changed you gave her the shares you gave her the house the way you look at her
12:04is different
12:05so what am i
12:08tell me what was i for 18 years
12:13that's enough you're terrified they're gonna throw you away right i get it
12:19because my whole life i was the one who got thrown away but the fact that you feel sorry for
12:24yourself
12:26doesn't change the fact that you tried to murder me it's not a free pass vivian kensington
12:33you were just lucky you were born with kensington blood
12:41i started piano when i was eight i practiced until my fingers literally bled i never missed a lesson
12:49not even when i had a 104 degree fever you two were the ones who said it
12:53a kensington daughter must be exceptional i gave everything to become the daughter you demanded and
13:00the second she walks back into our lives all of it means nothing vivian disappears for 30 minutes and
13:06all of you lose your minds i was gone too did any of you look for me like that
13:14no of course not because i'm not one of you not really but she is and that's why she never
13:21should
13:21have come back are you out of your mind you are not worthy of speaking her name in this house
13:31the ground you are standing on belongs to viviana every privilege you have ever known it was all hers
13:40your mother took that baby from her bastit and dumped her behind the hospital like trash if she
13:47hadn't been found by a miracle she wouldn't be alive today you talk about your hard work she spent her
13:54life just trying to survive the crime your mother committed no that's impossible you're lying the
14:02woman who did that it wasn't my mother it's true chloe we were going to ask you to leave give
14:09you enough
14:09money to live comfortably it was vivian who stopped us she begged us to let you stay
14:17it's true because i know what it feels like to be thrown away what so now you're playing the mortar
14:24no chloe i was offering you a lifeline but you didn't want it and now what happens to you is
14:33up to the
14:34police two weeks later i was back at prep school coming home from school that day i opened the door
14:41and was
14:42stunned vivian's home my aunt i think that's who she was practically ran at me flipping open a velvet box
14:50the amethyst heart the day you came home we found this before i could make sense of it the rest
14:57closed
14:57in the mine had been barren for three years it's a legend her return really did change the family's
15:06fortune the chorus of voices was dizzying a security guard stumbled into the room his face ashen
15:13mr kemsington sir and madam the chopper it's down over the atlantic the kensington estate was perched
15:22right on the cliffs of long island overlooking the ocean i sprinted through the manicured lawns
15:27my heart pounding in my throat i reached the edge of the cliff and saw it a pillar of fire
15:32on the water
15:33black smoke billowing into the twilight sky a few seconds later the deep boom of the explosion finally reached
15:39me no that made no sense nothing had happened to me so how could they be the security guard was
15:49on his
15:50knees behind me they told us they didn't need a detail today miss we followed anyway but by the
15:57time we got eyes on them the helicopter was already out of control it just dropped for one sickening
16:06second i thought they were all gone vivian i snapped my head up standing there in the glow of the
16:15porch
16:15lights were my parents alive mom dad i scrambled to my feet and ran into their arms clinging to them
16:25we're okay oh my god you're okay we're okay baby we're okay we switched helicopters at the last minute
16:36it was just a gut feeling but the pilot the one who flew the other chapter back he died in
16:43our place
16:44i stared at the fire on the water this wasn't an accident we gave the pilot's family a settlement
16:50that would change their lives for generations i wondered if that was supposed to make it better
16:54we knew whoever did this would try again we didn't have to wait long the kensington estate was on fire
17:03the arsonist was one of the new housekeepers under questioning she finally broke she was chloe's
17:09biological mother 18 years ago she orchestrated the whole baby swap so her daughter could grow up with
17:15money status and everything she'd never had now with chloe facing prison time she decided to burn the
17:22entire kensington dynasty to the ground you people think you're gods my daughter gave you 18 perfect
17:30years she did everything you asked all she wanted was to keep her home and you people destroyed her
17:38first you abandoned your daughter for your own greed and now you come back pretending to avenge her
17:44do you really think chloe will be grateful for any of this she won't she'll only hate you more
17:51she would never she would never i'm her mother i did this for her then let's go ask her chloe
17:59baby
18:01i tried to make them pay i'm so sorry they got away but i'll get them next time i swear

18:45conflicted killer you've destroyed my last chance at everything why did someone like you even have me

19:01the woman crumpled in her chair something in her face simply gave way not anger not grief just
19:08nothing a few weeks later the sentences came down chloe's biological mother was convicted of multiple
19:15counts of attempted murder and arson she received life in prison without parole chloe was sentenced to
19:20eight years for kidnapping and conspiracy to commit murder her little clique including summer harrington
19:25all received sentences in a juvenile detention facility for their roles in the conspiracy
19:31for the next few years i focused on building myself the kensington name still meant something in the
19:37city probably always would i wasn't just the kensington heiress anymore i was the ceo of my own tech
19:43firm and business was booming i was stepping out of my company's soho office when a blacked out suv
19:48screeched to a halt in front of me the tinted window glided down i saw a face i barely recognized
19:54gaunt
19:54with haunted eyes and hollowed out cheeks summer harrington the harrington empire had crumbled to dust
20:01years ago her father had jumped from his office building her mother had remarried and summer
20:05herself did five years in prison now she waited tables at some dive bar in the east village well
20:12well if it isn't vivianne summer don't don't throw your life away again my life what life you destroyed

20:44nearby patrol officer had summer pinned to the ground in seconds the ambulance was there in minutes
20:49chloe was rushed into surgery when she came out her left arm was wrapped in thick bandages
20:54the doctor said with skin grafts she might recover 70 of it in the recovery room i finally asked the
21:02question
21:06why you have a lot of time to think in a place like that
21:10for eight years i played that first day over and over in my head i kept asking myself what if
21:15what if instead of seeing an enemy i had chosen to see a sister i finally got it the problem
21:20was never
21:21you walking through that door the problem was me chloe when i was in the orphanage i was so jealous
21:28of
21:28the kids who had older sisters to protect them i used to dream that if i ever found my real
21:33parents i
21:34wouldn't just have a mom and a dad maybe i'd have a big sister to look out for me too
21:38this family was
21:39always big enough for both of us for the daughter they lost and the daughter they raised what mattered
21:47was never just blood it was choice all you had to do back then was look at me and said
21:55i was your little
21:56sister kensington would have always been your home
