Cloaked Stepsister

"They ain't take my voice. I just got tired of screaming around people who swore they couldn't hear me." - Serenity.It was supposed to be a blessing. A church girl, down on her luck, moved in with Serenity's family.

Her name was Kymani-and from the outside, she looked harmless. But what started as a good deed turned into a slow, calculated takeover.

Serenity never saw it coming.

By the time she realized Kymani was a liar, it was too late. Her family had already turned against her. Her name was in everybody's mouth-but never the truth. And when you're already the Black Sheep, it's easy for them to believe you're the problem.

Cloaked Stepsister is the raw, unfiltered story of betrayal in plain sight-how family loyalty got weaponized, how silence got mistaken for guilt, and how being different made Serenity the perfect target.

This isn't just a story about loss.

It's about waking up, standing tall, and choosing yourself-even when nobody else does.

For every Black Sheep who got pushed out of the family photo-this one's for you.
