Reunited With a Twist

I frowned as I watched the three of them crying uncontrollably before me. The young woman in Mom's arms trembled as she wiped away her tears. Their cries filled the room, loud and raw."I'm finally home, Mom! I'm never leaving you and Dad again!"Mom broke down even more when she heard her biological daughter's words.Next to her, Dad's eyes were red. He occasionally patted their shoulders, his voice thick with emotion as he said, "Alright, now. That's enough. Look at you two, crying like that. Today's supposed to be a happy day. Faye's finally home!"Mom reached out her shaky hand to touch Faye Stone's face. "My sweet Faye, you've been through so much all these years!"I quietly watched as it all happened. Faye was Mom and Dad's biological daughter.I had known since young that I wasn't their real daughter. I didn't have parents. I was born in a small-town hospital, and my birth mother passed away shortly after giving birth to me.Faye lifted her head in Mom's arms, her voice w

The senior executive asked, "Don't you think it's too much to take over 'your family's' company when you don't even know what you're doing?"He stressed on the words "your family" and didn't even glance at Faye.Dad went silent, his posture slumping slightly.The news that I left work early spread quickly in the company.I'd been with the company for years, grinding through whatever was thrown at me, getting better little by little. I earned my team's trust not because of my connections but because I put in the work. I showed them I could lead, even when they didn't have faith in me.Once I passed everything over to Jane Hollis, I was ready to leave."You're seriously not coming back, Audrey? We can't have anyone else take over," Jane whined as she helped me carry my stuff.Her chubby face looked even more adorable when she was upset. I gave her cheek a pinch just like I always did."I'll be back. Give it three months. She'll quit on her own," I said.Someone as sensitive as F

"Are there any shares left at Sundown Nightclub, Mrs. Gallagher?" I asked, rolling my eyes slightly.Mrs. Gallagher quickly understood. She clinked her glass against mine with a smile.Surveillance cameras had been the best way to gather more evidence. And as a shareholder, I had every right to do so. It didn't take long for me to understand why Faye had clung to Warren.Xenith Group had been in talks with our company about a partnership for a while, but the negotiations had stalled. Then, out of nowhere, they started offering concessions.Faye clearly had been working behind the scenes. She had gone to great lengths just to secure her place in the company and get back at me.I smirked at how short-sighted her vision was.…When I returned home, Mom looked delighted and asked Lydia to prepare a feast for me."What brings you home all of a sudden today, Audrey?" Faye asked with a smile, though her eyes seemed guarded.Mom sighed with relief when Faye didn't say anything unpleas

"Give it to me!" Faye yelled.She scrambled to her feet and lunged at me, reaching for the USB drive. But I kicked her back down before she could touch me."Let's begin with the first part, shall we? Let's see how Warren tricked your precious daughter," I said, my sarcastic tone hanging in the air.The video played, getting more disturbing with every scene, but it wasn't over yet.It revealed Faye and Warren's plan to lure me into bed, get me to drink the spiked drink, and how Warren's assistant took Mindy, disguised as me, away from the restroom.The living room fell into a heavy silence when the video ended. Faye collapsed to her knees, completely drained."Well, that's the full extent of my revenge on your wonderful daughter," I said, smiling at Mom, though my vision blurred. "I've called the police. They'll be here soon to take her away."Dad's face went pale, and he trembled slightly. He reached out, trying to pull me toward him. "Dree… Faye's the one who wronged you. But y
