Chapter 1

When they heard my question, the middle‑aged couple in front of me froze, looking stunned. But the surprise lasted only a second before it turned into irritation."Summer, stop messing around and come out!""Your sister says she feels like eating your cupcakes. Go bake her some!"Hearing the word "sister" made my head throb, like needles were stabbing my skull. Countless images flashed through my mind, but none of them were clear.I knew one thing for sure, though. Whatever those memories were, they had to be painful.The voices kept yelling, making the room feel even more suffocating.I had no choice but to slowly step out of the room. But the moment the light from outside hit me, I screamed uncontrollably. As soon as the brightness hit me, my skin burned like it had been set on fire. Terrified, I recoiled, but then I heard a young man's voice."Summer, what are you pretending for? Weren't you always complaining about how much you hate this dark room? Now that we're letting you

Chapter 2

The young man's voice from before sounded again. "Summer, you actually triggered Ash again! You're so cruel that you don't even deserve to be called my sister. Hurry up and come out. You need to apologize to Ash!"He called me his sister, but the way he treated me was anything but affectionate. He looked more like someone confronting an enemy.Before I could even process what was happening, he grew impatient and stormed into the dark room, grabbing my arm and yanking me toward the door.I couldn't physically fight a grown man, but the fear of the outside world made me struggle instinctively. "No… Stop!"I stretched my hands out and gripped the only table in the room, my nails digging into the wood until they nearly broke.Feeling my fear, the man just snorted. "Are you finally scared now? What took you so long? Someone like you needs to suffer a bit to learn your lesson!"He kept pulling me toward the door with brute force. My nails finally broke, and the pain shot through every

As the woman spoke, she set a tray down in front of me. On it were some stomach medicine and a warm bowl of oatmeal.I swallowed hard. Even though she looked a little familiar, I still watched her with caution. "Who are you? And why are you bringing me food?"The woman's eyes widened like she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Ms. Summer, don't you remember me?"I nodded slightly and told her I seemed to have lost my memory.The look of pity in her eyes only deepened.If she hadn't told me she was a maid, Melinda Cole, I would've thought she was the only one in this house who actually cared about me. After all, the people who locked me in this little dark room didn't even treat me like a person, much less feel any sympathy for me.I thanked Melinda, took the stomach medicine, and lifted the bowl of oatmeal, gulping it down in big mouthfuls. It was just plain oatmeal, nothing special, but I had no idea how long I'd gone without eating."Slow down. If it's not enough, I'll ge

Chapter 4

Melinda's face went pale with fear. "Ms. Ashley, why are you here?"I looked toward the person standing in the doorway. She was wearing a silk nightdress, her hair smooth and neatly done. She looked like she was living a pampered life, down to the last detail. I glanced down at myself. All I had on was a five-dollar plain cotton T-shirt. My hair was dry and split at the ends, while my arms were thin and twig-like. Compared to the socialite in front of me, I didn't look like part of the Reid family at all.Just as I was thinking that, she suddenly let out a cold laugh and slapped Melinda across the face. "This is my house. Since when do I need your permission to walk around? You're just a maid. Who do you think you are, talking to me like that?"She was arrogant and overbearing, showing none of the fragility she usually displayed around the Reids.I caught a flicker of malice in her eyes, as if she were about to strike again. I instinctively stepped in front of Melinda.She pause

Chapter 5

My parents and Liam didn't even spare me a glance. They rushed upstairs after Ashley, terrified she might actually do something stupid.And just like that, the dark room was quiet again with only Melinda and me inside."Sunny…"Her voice broke, and the pain in her eyes was so real that it felt heavy in the air. "I'm sorry… I'm so sorry… If I hadn't been careless back then and mixed you two up, none of this would've happened.""You're not the one who should be apologizing."She wasn't the only one at fault that day, but she was the only one who had humbled herself and begged the Reid family to let her work here just so she could be near her child.The Reid family, on the other hand, just kept hurting the person they had already wronged.A small part of me felt relieved that I'd lost my memories of these people. If I were still that naive girl waiting desperately for a scrap of affection, I'd just be bringing more pain to myself. To the Reid family, I would always be an outsider

Chapter 6

Sapphire looked at me like I'd just broken her heart, casting me this wounded, pitiful glance. "Summer, I know you want us to pay more attention to you, but you can't throw tantrums like this. Ash is still emotionally unstable. Listen to me and just apologize to her, okay?"I ignored her and turned to Melinda. "Mom, let's go."Sapphire had probably never seen me this impatient before. She pointed a trembling finger at me, struggling for words. "You… You…"When she realized I was really leaving, she let out a cold snort. "Fine. You think you're grown now, huh? Then go! But whatever the Reid family has given you, you're not taking a single thing with you!"She lifted her chin like she was convinced I was only leaving so I could snatch something valuable. She and Liam flanked me on both sides, following close behind.When we got to my room, both of them froze."Isn't this a storage room? You actually stay here?" Liam blurted out."You all said Summer and Ashley should stay on the s

Chapter 7

Bobby, Sapphire, and Liam had barely walked out the door when I followed Melinda, no, my mom, and got into the car to go home.Mom lived alone in a small house on the outskirts of the city. She told me that her ex-husband left her because he didn't want a daughter. She had planned to raise me well on her own, but fate had other ideas, and somehow, Ashley and I were switched at birth.Still, she kept saying things would get better from here on out.She set up a little breakfast stall outside the nearby elementary school, and I helped her every day. We didn't earn much, but it was more than enough for the two of us.After leaving the Reid family, I felt like a weight had been lifted. I was having regular mealtimes too, and after half a month, my cheeks had even filled out a bit.During those two weeks, my phone never rang once.Sapphire and Liam talked big about making it up to me, but in reality, they forgot about me just like always. By the time they finally realized I was gone a

Chapter 8

I held back the urge to slap Liam. "Let my mom go."Liam let out a cold laugh. "Listen to you, calling her 'Mom' like you mean it. Did you forget? You're one of the Reids. You're not the daughter of a maid.""Isn't the maid's daughter living in your home? What, does the Reid family get to take both kids and call it fair?" I fired right back without backing down.Liam looked irritated, and the people he brought became even more reckless.Seeing Mom's hard work getting destroyed and her being pinned down, tears welled up in my eyes. I started trembling uncontrollably. "Liam! What do you even want from me?""Come with me to the hospital. Ash found out you ran away and is threatening to jump. Once she calms down, you can go back to the Reid residence and enjoy a pampered life. Isn't that how it should be anyway?"I glanced at Mom. She shook her head, begging me not to agree. But I couldn't ignore the mess all over the ground. Just yesterday, we were talking about saving up to turn th

Chapter 9

I didn't end up dying.The Reid family was terrified something might happen to Ashley and had people set up an air cushion below ahead of time.But falling from that height still hit me hard, and I passed out.When the Reid family finally snapped out of their shock from me jumping without a second thought, they nearly fell apart.Sapphire cried so hard that she almost fainted. When she looked up, she caught the flicker of delight on Ashley's face. She froze. "Ash, you…"Only then did Ashley realize she'd let her true feelings slip. She hurried to put on a sad expression.But Bobby, Sapphire, and Laim had seen her shift in attitude, and doubt began to creep in. Was Ashley really as sweet and considerate as they had always believed? None of them said a word, but they secretly sent someone to investigate.When they learned that another hospital had diagnosed me with severe depression, all three regretted everything they'd done.At the same time, Ashley's attending doctor, realizin

Chapter 10

When I finally woke up, Mom was slumped over the side of my bed, fast asleep. She looked worn out with the dark circles under her eyes, like she'd been up for nights.My chest warmed with emotion. I didn't want to wake her, so I just watched her for a long, long time.Eventually, she stirred and opened her eyes. "Sunny, you finally woke up!"Her eyes turned red. She moved like she wanted to hug me but then remembered I was hurt and settled for gently patting my head instead. "You nearly scared me to death. You still have me. Don't ever do something like that again.""Mom, do you ever think of me as a burden?"Mom snapped, "That's complete bullshit! You've never been a burden. Sunny, if the Reid family doesn't believe you, that's on them. They're blind. I know you're a kind and deserving person. Don't let the people who hurt you define you. Listen to me instead, alright?"I nodded. My face itched, and when I lifted my hand, I realized it was wet with tears.…After half a mont
