The day I get engaged, my brother brings home a woman who's my age. He says she's his actual sister and accuses me of stealing her life for the past 20 years. Even my fiancé says she's his rightful wife. I'm kicked out of home. Meanwhile, my brother and fiancé take the true heiress traveling. They even give her the villa they had prepared for me. Half a month later, they suddenly remember it's my birthday. To their dismay, they find that they can't see me anymore—I've joined a secret ten-year project organized by the nation. They're supposed to be happy, but they now regret everything.

The Stolen Life Chapter 10
"Eleanor."On the first night after moving in, I met an old friend of mine whom I hadn't seen for years—Rhianne Shaw."Well, I certainly didn't expect you to be the first to come and visit me."Trembling, I tried to get out of bed. Rhianne touched her hair, her eyes swollen red. "Who said I came alone? We're all here."She stepped aside, revealing Ivor and Jeffrey behind her.Everyone had aged. I squinted, trying to see them more clearly. However, it was evident that my vision was failing me."El, you've gone through so much over the years," Ivor choked back sobs as he stood beside me. To help me see him better, he leaned closer and guided my hand across his face, tracing the outline inch by inch."You've grown old. You've all grown old." My voice was raspier than ever.Wiping a tear away with deep sorrow, Jeffrey gently ran his fingers over my scars."It's all my fault. I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you. My little El has suffered a bitter life; she truly has."It wa
The Stolen Life Chapter 9
The feelings we had nurtured over so many years couldn't be faked. The love he had for me was sincere, and he truly felt the weight of his mistakes."Ives, some things cannot be forced. I can't tell you where El has gone. She has her own aspirations, her own life to live. Perhaps, many years from now, the two of you will cross paths again. But for now, it would be best if you don't hold on too tightly. Go on home."What Johnathan had held back were blessings for me—congratulations for finally stepping onto the path I'd been dreaming of.Seeing the state of Ivor, he couldn't voice them out. He knew the young man wouldn't be able to bear it."What do you mean you can't tell me? Dr. Hensley, please tell me. Please just tell me."Then, the doors of the institute closed before Ivor. He clung on tightly, tears of regret streaming down his face.He saw me for the first time when he was eight, and even at that young age, he wished to marry me.By 18, he was even more determined than his
The Stolen Life Chapter 8
"Jeffrey Shaw, you were the one who's been spoiling El since young. You were the one who promised to give her the world, to pamper her for life. But look at you now. You knew from the get-go that this wasn't in El's control. She never had the power to dictate the course of her life. Yet, here we are, blaming it all on her. What gives us the right?"Ivor's voice slowly drained of vitality as he spoke. He couldn't bear thinking back on the recent events. In the beginning, he had showered Rhianne with kindness out of pity.But how had things spiraled so far out of control? How could he have been such a jerk?"El. I need to find El. Get out of my way."The pain from his wounds jolted his mind awake. Memories flooded back, and he started to remember that this marriage was something he had actively sought.Back then, the Rhett family was at its peak. There was no need for them to form an alliance with the Shaws.It was Ivor who fell for me at first sight, wishing to marry me. He went s
The Stolen Life Chapter 7
Ivor snatched the note in the first instance, his expression dark and stormy. "How dare she leave on her own? How dare she?"His fury drove him to kick the plaster figurines at his feet. With a loud crash, they shattered into fragments, much like the relationship we once shared. They were broken beyond repair."Ives."Kind-hearted Rhianne crouched to pick up the pieces, but Ivor pushed her away harshly."Little El."When Ivor turned 18, he started to feel the weight of responsibility as a man. Thus, he crafted the figurines as a symbol of our bond. He hoped that we would stay together forever.Back then, his love for me was passionate and all-encompassing. Everyone at school knew I had a protector, someone who shielded me from all evil.No other man was allowed to approach me, much less interact with me.Then, Rhianne entered the picture. The loving fiancé I grew up with suddenly turned his back on me. He fell head over heels for the so-called "true daughter" of the Shaw family
The Stolen Life Chapter 6
"Ms. Shaw, are none of your family seeing you off?"The staff member who came to pick me up glanced curiously at the villa behind me.The scoop about the legitimate and imposter daughters had become the talk of the town, and the man seemed to recognize me. He assumed the online rumors were exaggerated, but he now realized I had fallen so low."No."Without saying anything else, I loaded my suitcase into the boot and climbed into the car. The sky erupted with breathtaking fireworks, their brilliant colors blending with drone displays. It was a mesmerizing sight, and I couldn't tear my eyes away."Happy Birthday, Rhianne," the drones spelled out the words in neat rows, and the car fell into silence.Today was also Rhianne's birthday. We were born on the same day and mistakenly switched at birth. With this knowledge, they still chose to give me nothing."Ms. Shaw, isn't it your birthday too?" asked the driver in a stupor as it dawned on him.I lifted my phone and snapped a photo o
The Stolen Life Chapter 5
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of my departure, which also happened to be my birthday.Every year, Jeffrey would throw a grand banquet for me, inviting people from all over in my honor.Ivor, in particular, would always prepare the most unique, extravagant gifts. And none of them were repeated.For many years, I always looked forward to this day of the year. This time, however, I had my head hung low."Miss, Mr. Shaw said he will be taking Ms. Rhianne out for the day, so he won't be coming back."The servant cast me a disdainful glance, silently mocking my lack of self-awareness.I turned a blind eye and went into the kitchen to cook myself a meal.Over the years, I had never once done housework. Jeffrey rarely let me into the kitchen. I could only make soup. As a result, Ivor had honed his cooking skills to cater to my picky tastes.Cooking for myself filled me with a strange mix of desolation and accomplishment.So this was how it felt to cook your own meal. I close

"Stop trying to deny it, Eleanor. I know exactly what you're thinking. You must be jealous of Rhianne. I never thought you'd become so cunning! You say everything's fine, but your actions clearly show you wish nothing but harm upon her. I feel ashamed to have ever called you my sister."After Jeffrey spat out those nasty words, he raised a hand over his mouth. A hint of unease flashed across his face. He knew his words would hurt me, knew I wouldn't be able to handle them. Yet, he said them anyway."Jeff, don't say that about her. It's all my fault. It's been a long time since I've done any chores—I must have just forgotten."Rhianne tried to smooth things over, but Ivor only glanced at me with dissatisfaction."Rhianne, you're too kind. That's why this woman keeps bullying you over and over again. Look at your hand! It's so red. Come on, let's get some ointment on it."Though Jeffrey didn't criticize me further, his expression made it clear he blamed me too."Clean up the kitche

When my collar was furiously yanked, I met Jeffrey's eyes and nodded solemnly. "I understand."I had no intention of competing with Rhianne in the first place. And even if I wanted to, could I possibly win?I was but an imposter. Who would stand by me?"Alright, you both are being too harsh. How could you be so authoritarian with El? I'm not made of paper—I'll be fine," Rhianne chipped in.The situation was about to settle down when she stepped in again, affectionately wrapping her arms around me. "El, let's go have fun together. Just ignore these annoying men!"She was acting rather spoiled. Jeffrey ruffled her hair dotingly. Even Ivor, who was usually expressionless, had a warm smile.They were the epitome of a happily ever after."It's okay. It's only what I deserve."I subtly distanced myself from Rhianne, but she didn't seem to catch on. Every time I pulled away, she pulled me back."Eleanor."All of a sudden, Jeffrey growled at me. Perhaps my actions were upsetting his
The Stolen Life Chapter 2
Countless scornful looks fell upon me, and my body stiffened. The words I had strung together were lodged fast in my throat.All I wanted was to retrieve my belongings. All I wanted was to say goodbye."What are you doing here?"Before I had time to recover, Ivor emerged from the villa holding a stuffed toy.It was our token of love from when we were 18. On the day of our engagement, it went missing. I thought it was gone forever."Ives."A glimmer of hope surged in my heart as I reached out my hand. But in the next moment, the stuffed toy flew from his hand, drawing a beautiful arc in the air before landing precisely in the trash bin."Can I help?"Ivor's face was stern. Hastily, I withdrew my outstretched hand, feeling hard to breathe.When we were 18, he had said, "Even if I lost my life, I'd never lose this toy."Now, he was throwing it away with his own hands. Did that mean his life no longer included me?"Eleanor, we've already discussed this. The person I got engaged

"Eleanor, have you thought this through? This project requires total isolation. Once you head off, you won't be able to see your family."Jonathan Hensley's words pulled me back from my thoughts. My eyes were still damp.A lot had happened at home these past few days—nothing everyone at the institute didn't know about. I, Eleanor Shaw, was a fraud."I know this incident has hit you hard, but you shouldn't act rashly. This concerns your life."Noticing the sorrow in my eyes, the director of the institute clasped his hands behind his back. His expression was heavy with concern."Please rest assured, Dr. Hensley. I'm not acting on impulse. The only reason I didn't accept this immediately was my family—I couldn't bear leaving them. But now, given how things have turned out, leaving would be the right decision."I steadied myself, wiping away a tear I hid from Jonathan.I was truly heartbroken, but at the same time, I felt a sense of relief.It was as though I had always known this ...
