My mom treated me like the dirt beneath her shoes but worshiped my cousin like a queen. Since I could walk, I had scrubbed clothes and cooked meals, but I would still be yelled at or smacked if I messed up. On the contrary, my cousin twirled in princess dresses and played the piano. She was cherished by my aunt and uncle like she was the center of their world. Then came the day everything changed. At my cousin's birthday party, my mom got drunk and spilled the secret—she switched me and my cousin at birth. It turned out that I wasn't her daughter; I was my aunt's daughter. I was over the moon. Finally, I thought I'd found my real family, people who might actually care about me. But when I told my aunt, she just smirked. "You think I didn't know? I don't want you. You'll never be my daughter." Her words hit me like a bucket of ice water. I couldn't understand. Why didn't anyone want me? But that day, I made a vow—I'd never beg for anyone's love again. Years later, when I got into Mayward University—the best educational institution in the country—I threw two DNA test reports on the table in front of them. For the first time, they both looked terrified.

I turned my gaze to Uncle Zach, and, as expected, he could not meet my eyes.Then, I opened the second DNA test, which indicated that my biological father was Uncle Zach.Originally, I had planned to get a paternity test with Aunt Monica, but I accidentally used Uncle Zach's hair for the test. Ironically, this mistake led to the discovery of a shocking secret.The room was filled with murmurs as relatives started discussing in confusion."How can this be? After all these years of abuse, Moira finds out that Cursida is her biological daughter!""Poor thing, but honestly, Moira had it coming. She's the one who seduced her brother-in-law." "Are you that clueless? Both kids were born at the same time. How can you figure out who seduced who?" Aunt Monica was so enraged that she almost lost her balance. Covering her head, she yelled, "Zach Lindsay, you cheated on me!"Uncle Zach did not say a word, but fear was evident on his face as he fixed his gaze on Mom.Mom was crying, wanti

On the day I got back the DNA test results, Annie invited me to her graduation party.She barely made it into a vocational college, but Aunt Monica and Uncle Zach did not mind at all and even threw a big celebration.Annie proudly showed off in front of me. "So what if you got into Mayward? Your mom still doesn't love you. My parents will always spoil me no matter what."I smiled and said, "Well, congratulations on getting into college. I hope you'll always be treated like a princess."Her expression soured slightly, and she snorted before walking off.Mom arrived late, holding the car keys to a brand-new car. With a happy smile, she handed them to Annie. "Here's a graduation gift from me. Don't forget about me in the future!"Annie's pride grew, and she glanced at me with her chest all puffed up.Mom followed her gaze and saw me. She loved making me feel small in front of everyone."What are you doing here? Don't think that getting into a university will make a difference. You

I studied tirelessly, waking up early and going to bed late. While everyone was asleep, I'd hide under the covers, switch on my lights, and work on practice problems.My deskmate and I both got into the same high school, and we stayed close, still being each other's deskmates. She always teased me about working too hard, "Come on, it's just the first year of high school. Do you really need to go this far?" I did. For me, it was necessary.Exams were the only place I was treated fairly.Luckily, my hard work paid off. This time, I surpassed Annie. I ranked first in my class and sixth in the year. She was third in class and 13th in the year.Annie was not thrilled about it, but she had matured a lot, so at least she did not cry to Aunt Monica anymore. But it was clear we were competing in silence.Then, Annie started dating a guy from outside the school—a small-time thug. Her grades dropped drastically, and the teacher called Aunt Monica over to talk.I ran into them when I was h

The exam lasted three days, and for the last two days, I stayed at my homeroom teacher's house to avoid Mom.I did not go home even when the high school entrance exam was over. Instead, I found a job at a nearby factory. They provided food and accommodation in addition to paying me a salary, so even though it was hard work, it was a huge step up from being at home.One day, I was working in the factory twisting screws and drenched in sweat when my phone rang.It was my teacher.She was overjoyed as she told me, "Stella, the results are out! You're number one in the whole county! The city's education offices have already called me—you've made it!"I could not hold back the flood of emotions. All the hard work, the sacrifices, and the anger felt like they finally had an outlet. I wiped my sweat away, my tears following as I bent over the table, crying my heart out.The workers around me cheered for me. The factory manager even gave me half a day off to go back to school for the awa
