Story

The story

Chloe Harper survives on stolen lunch money and beatings. When her mother catches her, a chair smashes her leg, and the curses never stop. Then Chloe learns the truth: the woman who raised her is not her biological mother, and she was swapped at birth with Mia, who now lives as her cousin in Aunt Sarah's wealthy home.

Her mother and her uncle have carried on an affair for years, scheming to seize Aunt Sarah's fortune by sending their own daughter to be her heir. Chloe photographs the messages on her mother's phone and sends them to Aunt Sarah from a secret address, then waits, leg broken, stomach empty, for the reply.

When Aunt Sarah arrives with dinner and no sign of shock, Chloe begins to wonder how much her aunt truly knows. The photos are still hidden, and Chloe is determined to expose every secret in the nest.

Opening excerpt

When she caught me, she smashed a chair over my leg, breaking it:

"With a worthless life like yours, starving and freezing is what you deserve..."

All these years, no matter how hard I tried to please her, she never gave me a single kind look.

Curses and brutal beatings were my three meals a day.

Today, I finally found out why she didn't love me.

She isn't my biological mother at all.

I am just the child she swapped with my aunt!
