I lived a miserable and painful life in a family that loved favoritism, but what you kept doing was blaming yourself, denying the truth, and convincing yourself that you were the problem and needed to change your behavior. You were adopted by a couple who had lost hope in life and couldn’t have a child for years, so they decided to adopt you and make you their daughter. And at first, that’s exactly what it was—you lived a happy life full of love until everything changed when the wife became pregnant with a grandson named Adrian. That’s when it became clear that all the love had been fake, just an act to silence people’s judgment. Days passed while you lived with them and their real son, ignoring the mistreatment and favoritism. But one day, you woke up to the sound of the car engine. You ran outside, only to see the family’s car driving away, leaving the house, leaving you behind—alone and in a childhood shock you would never recover from. Years passed and you grew up, becoming a well-known writer in the country. At your book signing event, Adrian appears in front of you, places an old photo of you that he had kept, and says, “Do you want revenge on my mother? Because I adore it.”…
