Ghost of the Forgotten Daughter

Eleanor “Ellie” Hayton used to have a perfect life. Loving parents. A best friend who never left her side. A boyfriend who promised forever. Until the day Nancy Atkins entered her home. Adopted after the tragic murder of her sister and death of her parents, Nancy was everything people wanted to believe in — fragile, grieving, innocent. Everyone pitied her. Everyone protected her. Everyone loved her. But slowly, Ellie began losing everything. Her best friend turned against her. Her boyfriend chose Nancy. Her parents stopped seeing their own daughter. Soon Ellie wasn’t just ignored — she became the villain in her own home. Nancy always seemed to get hurt around her. Nancy always had tears ready. Nancy always had the perfect story. And everyone believed it. Until Ellie was sent away to Reinville Mental Institution — a place known for breaking people. Breaking them piece by piece, soul by soul. Four months later, she returned home a different girl. Quieter. Colder. Utterly broken. Three weeks later, Ellie was dead. But death wasn’t the end. Now her ghost lingers, trapped between worlds, watching the girl who stole her life continue to play the perfect victim. And the deeper ghost Ellie looks into Nancy’s past, the more horrifying the truth becomes. Because Nancy didn’t just destroy Ellie’s life. She’s done it before. And this time, the dead girl as a ghost is finally ready to tell the truth.
