Wicked

People are so gullible. They readily believe the lies I tell them. They think I am an innocent, kind-hearted orphan girl stuck living with an abusive stepmother.

“Poor Sydney. She has already suffered so much, losing both her parents so young.”

“I’ve always said he remarried too quickly. He barely knew the woman.”

“I hear her children are just as cruel.”

But I am not the sweet, kind girl they think I am, as my late mother accidently discovered. That is why she had to die.
