A single night of passion left me pregnant with twins. Yet I was met with scorn and accusations of stealing my sister's man through underhanded means. I knew that even if the wealthiest man in Ahutx City never married me, these twins would bind him to me for life. So I ran away. For twenty years, I raised my sons alone through hardship and toil. One grew into a top university scholar, the other a piano prodigy. When they discovered their father was a business titan, they were determined to find him, deaf to my protests. I tried to stop them, but they turned on me with vicious words. My eldest, Marcus, looked at me with pure disgust. "No wonder Dad left you. You're poisonous. You tore me and Elise apart and got her killed. I've waited years to make you pay for that." My youngest, Felix, stared at me with hatred. "I never loved the piano! You forced me to play for eighteen years just because you liked it. Do you have any idea how much I suffered? I wanted to smash every piano I saw! Who gave you the right to control my life?" Shortly after they reunited with their father, I was kidnapped. The ransom was one million. I thought they would save me. I was their mother, after all. But they left me to drown. They refused to pay a single cent. After death, my spirit returned home, only to witness them bidding two million on a jade bracelet for my sister. They even asked her to be their godmother. The overwhelming bitterness and resentment trapped me between worlds. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day they demanded to meet their father. This time, I didn't refuse. Instead, I said, "Give me a full accounting for every dime I ever spent on you. Once your father pays me back, we are done. Forever."
