Secretly A Rich Heir

I was from a rich family. But after I finally returned home, my parents made me sleep in the store room and eat leftover food. Yet, they still felt like they had wronged their foster daughter. When the government introduced the Children’s Fairness System, my parents immediately bound the entire family to it. My father breathed a sigh of relief and said, “With this perfectly fair system in place, Annie won’t be treated unfairly anymore.” My mother gently held my hand and said in an unyielding tone. “Ever since you came back, you’ve taken everything that was meant for Annie. This is unfair to her.” My elder brother never showed a hint of kindness toward me either. “I only acknowledge Annie as my sister. You’ve gotten way more than you deserved already, so don’t push your luck,” he said. I looked down at the cheap clothes I had worn for five years. Then, I glanced at Annie’s lavish bedroom and countless luxury items. I found it all utterly ridiculous. However, when the system took effect, they all ended up breaking down.

His in-laws call him trash and useless, they consider him lower than their maids, treat him worse than they would treat an animal.

Unfortunately for Arthur that day never came, as he one day discovered his wife was a cheat.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” he asked finally. “What I should have done a long time ago,” I replied, not turning around. “Leaving you.” My hand closed around the door handle. “Not with my child.” --- Married off to him to settle a debt that was never mine, I was nothing more than a contract… a means to an end. An heir. That was all Adrian Blackwood ever wanted from me. Not my love. Not my heart. Not me. But still… I gave it to him anyway. Year after year, I loved a man who never once looked at me the way I looked at him. And when my time was up, when the contract ended and no child tied me to him, I walked away. Until fate played its cruel joke. Because just when I finally left him behind, I found out I was carrying his child. Now the man who never wanted me… refuses to let me go.

My mom decides to implement an income-based rationing system. Everything at home is delegated to everyone based on their income. At a holiday dinner, I decide to grab myself an extra helping of pasta. As soon as I fill up my plate, my mom snatches it from my hands. "Hold on. Just look at the spread on the table. The sea bass is already worth 180 dollars. The scallops are worth 200, whereas the lobster goes for 300 dollars. "You only earn 3,000 dollars per month. If you want a second serving, you must pay up first. I'll charge you based on the family rate. It'll be three dollars, thank you very much." My mom sticks out three fingers while smiling at me.
