At my twentieth birthday party, I was exposed in front of everyone as a fake heiress. My best friend, Olivia Lane, immediately let go of my hand. My boyfriend, Alex Carter, turned and walked away. My foster parents watched coldly. They said, "Pack your things and get out." I smiled. They probably didn't know that I had received a call from my biological parents. My mom said, "Sweetheart, your father is the world's richest man, and I run a multinational conglomerate. Our family is ten thousand times richer than the Anderson family." At my twentieth birthday party, the crystal chandeliers were so bright that they almost made me dizzy. Dressed in Chanel's latest collection, I stood in the center of the ballroom, cold sweat beading on my palms. The Anderson estate was packed with guests today. All the big names in Riverdale showed up, supposedly for my birthday, but everyone knew the truth; this was the Andersons' chance to flex their influence and make connections. I was Nina Anderson, the girl the Anderson family raised for twenty years. At least, that was what everyone believed until today.
