LOGINIn my previous life, my sister thought that since my husband and I had high-paying jobs, she could swap her son with my child without anyone noticing. But twenty-five years later, the tables turned. My son had grown into a street thug, while her son—raised under my care—rose smoothly through life. Young as he was, he had already become a CEO. He was dutiful, bought me a villa, and even sent me traveling around the world. My sister barged into his company, waving a DNA test report, kicking up a scene, only to be thrown out by security. "Mr. Kieran said that even if you are his biological mother, you never gave him a single day of care," they told her. "So he refuses to acknowledge you." Breaking down completely, she drove her car into me and ended my life. When I opened my eyes again, we had returned to the very day she switched our babies. This time, my sister clutched her own child tightly, a wild, triumphant grin on her face. "From now on, you can be the mother of a street thug," she sneered. "The villa and all those riches—they're mine!"
View MoreSoon after Axel started college, Nate and I moved to a new city and began a new chapter in our lives.To make our retirement years more comfortable, we agreed to buy a villa in the suburbs. After more than a decade of hard work, purchasing a villa barely caused us any pressure.In this new city, without Axel nearby, Nate and I finally stopped holding back and threw ourselves into our careers with complete freedom.Another five years passed.During those five years, I rose to the highest position in my field, reaching the peak of my career. Nate retired early, happily embracing his peaceful life with nothing more than a fishing rod in hand.More than once during that time, we considered laying out an easier path for Axel—opening doors, arranging connections, paving shortcuts.But to our surprise and delight, he was nothing like the Phillip from my previous life. Without relying on us at all, Axel and a group of exceptional classmates founded a studio while still in college. With s
My parents knew full well they hadn't been proper grandparents to Axel all these years, so they kept their heads down, quietly picking at their food in embarrassment.My in-laws, on the other hand, couldn't stop praising Axel. But when their eyes drifted over to my sister, confusion flickered across their faces."Cindy," one of them asked, "how come I never knew you had an aunt?"I smiled."Aunt? No, she's my sister."I couldn't blame them for the mistake.Years of overwork had drained every ounce of life from Judy. She'd aged long before her time. Deep wrinkles carved across her face, and large patches of her hair had already turned white. No amount of makeup could cover the exhaustion etched into her features.Sitting beside my mother, she looked so worn out that they could've passed for siblings if you didn't look closely.While everyone chatted idly, I picked up a glass of wine and sauntered toward Judy.Ever since she walked into the banquet hall, she'd been radiating res
If not for my sister's prophecy that Phillip would someday become a big boss, Ronald would have divorced her long ago.After taking first place several times, Phillip became something of a local star.A few television interviews later, he rediscovered the sense of superiority he'd enjoyed in his previous life.He would stroll past me with his report card in hand, using every opportunity to mock me for "abandoning" such a brilliant child—what a terrible mistake I'd made, according to him.Unfortunately for him, every time he came gloating, he always happened to run into Axel returning home from school.At that time, Axel was in middle school and knee-deep in his rebellious phase—his temper exactly like his father's. He excelled academically, but he also led a group at school and had a reputation that made teachers and students alike tread carefully around him.He usually kept a cold, brooding face, but it always melted away when he stepped into our home and saw me and Nate.And s
"That's it, you little brat. I'm calling your grandmother right now. If you sneak out in the middle of the night again, I'll break your legs myself," Nate scolded.Phillip struggled wildly, shouting at the top of his lungs."Mom! I know you're reborn too. Hurry up and explain it to Dad!"I rolled my eyes so hard they nearly stuck, then opened the door and motioned for Nate to toss him outside.'You're not my son. Why on earth should I deal with you?' I thought.Nate slammed the door shut. Phillip tried to push his way back in, only to get knocked backward by one of Axel's punches.That night, Judy apparently came to drag Phillip home. She was convinced I was trying to "steal her precious son" again and made a scene outside our door for hours.Too bad for her, the soundproofing in our building was excellent. We didn't hear a thing—and we slept like babies.Over the next few months, Phillip took every chance he could to sneak away and bother our family whenever Judy wasn't watchi
