Steven Lambert claimed my mother almost killed his wife and daughter, branding me as a sinner from birth. For twenty years, he and his family tormented me in the name of atonement. I was forced into a cruel marriage with the vile Caleb Carpenter in Cindy's place, only to suffer a tragic end. Only then did the Lamberts realize I was their daughter. Yet all this time, the very existence they believed to be a sinner enjoyed their bottomless affection and adoration.

That was when Mark approached with shuffling steps. The hesitation on his face was obvious. Steven, who was too annoyed to make a guess, simply asked, "What did you want to say?""Huh? N-Nothing…." Mark stammered. He was startled by Steven's question."Hang on. That's not true." Mark scratched his head and spun in place twice before deciding to voice his findings."The last time we were at the store, I saw Cindy avoiding that woman's gaze. It seemed like she had known that woman for a long time.""What did you say?!" Sophia grabbed Mark's hand violently. Before Mark could cry out in pain, she let go of him and took a few steps back in bewilderment."She knew all along that she wasn't my daughter," she muttered under her breath.Agony was drawn all over her face. She found it hard to believe, but she had to.Mark froze for a moment when he heard this. He turned to Steven for help.Only then did Steven realize Mark hadn't found out about this yet. He sighed, and spilled the b

After the authorities received public opinion and launched an investigation into the incident, people realized that I might not have been the first victim.Caleb's past female partners either went missing, died, or kept their mouths shut about him. Caleb, or rather Lucy, used their power and money to erase all evidence.By the time my parents arrived at the hospital, all they saw was a handful of ashes in a tiny jar. In order to minimize exposure of the crime, Lucy instructed someone to get rid of my corpse. By now, she was no longer in the mood to imagine the expression on my parents' faces once they saw my corpse.I followed from a distance, but was surprised to see Randal and Steven facing each other off.Randal's hair had grown long. His formerly pale face was now flushed with rage. He was sitting in a wheelchair, holding onto my ashes and refusing to let go."You have no right to take Rachel's ashes! Give the urn to me. I can let it slide," Steven said.Grandma stood behi

I felt restless.Steven didn't seem like the kind of guy who took rejection well, especially when it also involved his daughter, Cindy.As expected, I got a call that day. My entry to the academy was denied.I knew Steven had to be behind this. He was forcing my hand.Right after that, bad things happened one after another.After Randal found out about this and Steven's visit, he had a heart attack.The doctor said he needed a new heart. Although it sounded simple enough, we all knew how many people were waiting in line for a donor.All of a sudden, Grandma fell sick.Although she was just as anxious, she saw my haggard appearance when she woke up, and the first thing she did was to comfort me."Rachel, don't worry. There will be a way."Steven approached me. He brought a pile of information on Randal's case, including the latest treatment plan, the post-operative recovery program, and the heart donor's information that was placed at the end.That was when I learned that Ran

I watched as Steven closed his eyes in embarrassment, feeling zero interest in the turn of events.I could tell he was remorseful. Based on how well I knew him, though, I knew he only regretted not realizing the truth about the switch, rather than the abuse of an innocent child for the past twenty years.Steven was heartbroken by the fact that he misidentified his daughter. He was even more crushed to see his lover's current state. He clutched his wife's trembling hands, trying to pull her into his arms. However, he was met with strong resistance."It's all your fault!" Sophia yelled, pushing him away and pointing at his face. "If it wasn't for you, Lucy wouldn't have swapped our children! I wouldn't have lost my daughter, my baby—"She paused after saying the word 'baby'. It sounded as if she wanted to say my name, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to do so.After all, my name was a culmination of her husband's malice. She had kept quiet about it for over twenty years. Ho
