LOGIN“Today is the last day you're going to spend in this family.” Rita's voice was dangerously low, a bit of smugness in her words. Sally is betrayed by her biological family, whom she just met three months ago. Falsely accused and rejected, she spends four years in prison for pushing her grandmother down the stairs, a crime her fake sister had committed. But now, she is back, not seeking acceptance but to reclaim the life stolen from her. She is no longer letting them bully her. She doesn't want her family. She doesn't want their love. She doesn't want their money. Andrew Thompson, is a wealthy CEO and a business man, who signed a contract marriage with her family. Rita expects him to choose her, but to everyone’s surprise, he choose Sally. Sally says she’s not interested in marriage because she’s crippled. The man says, “You're exactly what I'm looking for.” Her grandmother wakes up and reveals the truth of who pushed her down stairs. Her mother’s voice cracked on the phone “Come back, and we'll give you the world.” “Sorry, my surname is no longer Weston.”

This house had never been this peaceful.“Better than looking at their disgusting faces” Sally muttered, climbing the stairs, stumbling along her way.She sneaked up to her room, closed the door behind her, and pulled the letter from her pocket.“What was in this letter?” She kept wondering, but she was also afraid to open it.What if this was another secret?She’d enough heartbreak already. She didn't want to add anything else to the list.She only wanted to hold on to the good memories of her mother. So, she pushed the letter back into her pocket and tried to sleep.But she knew she was only lying to herself. No matter how she tried to sleep, her mind kept returning to the letter.“To hell with it… I'll find out what my mother wanted to tell me,” She said, tearing open the envelope.Sweetie, I guess I'm no longer with you. I’m so sorry I’ve left you alone in this world. But,I want you to know that I had no idea what happened to yo
The crowd went quiet, each person trying to come up with their own conclusions, and yet no one spoke up for her.Because it meant cutting ties with their business partnerships…millions of investments. They’ll rather trample on her innocence.“Today is my birthday. Have you heard anyone among them wish me a happy birthday or give me a gift?” Sally continued, her brows furrowing as she looked around the crowd again.“My mother is dead, and you all caused her death. She raised me single handedly and you think that you’re that special?” She sneered.That's when Billy climbed up the podium and took the microphone from her.“We're sorry about that. She's a little emotional. The years in prison haven't been easy on her.”What the hell?Even now, he was still taking their side.“But we didn't forget her at all,” Billy added, a fake smile curling on his lips. “We have a very special present for her.”Sally looked at them, surprised.Not something again that had been discarded by Rita.But she'
The car came to a screeching halt. The house stood tall and beautiful, just as she remembered it.But what gave her strength was the employment contract tightly held in her hands.For a moment there, she just stood still, a shiver travelling through her spine, thinking about the events that had transpired in that house.Four years ago, she came into this house, thinking that she’ll always call it a home. But it gave her scars, too deep for one person to carryDid she want to go inside?No…fucking No…“Sally ….”The moment she entered the house, Susan moved forward and tried to wrap her arms around her.But she stepped backward, looking at her coldly.“No… need for pretending. I don't need a mother anymore. You already have Rita.”The thought of her touching her made her skin crawl…thinking that she could ever think that she could love her.There were days she yearned for her hugs, kisses, smiles…Gosh she wanted to lay her head on her lap and feel her warmth.She could have done anythi
The bright sun hit Sally’s eyes, and she blinked.For a minute, she just breathed in the fresh air, letting the breeze calm her skin, enjoying the freedom. Finally, she’ll get to start her life over.It had been four years… four fucking years of serving for a crime she didn't commit.No one had come to visit her. Not her parents nor her brother.And now, she didn't expect anyone to show up. She was alone in this world.Her adoptive mother had died four years ago.She'd been battling a heart condition, and the moment she heard Sally’s arrest, she collapsed and was announced dead on arrival to the hospital.“Where am I going to go?” Sally thought as she stared at the heavily guarded walls behind her, the sight of them making her chest clench.She paid an expensive price for trying to steal a family that wasn’t hers.A strong wind gushed past her, coupled with a loud humming of an engine. Damn ..she even missed the sound of a car .Crazy it is, but all these years, she’d been living in a
