When my wealthy parents finally tracked me down, I was grabbing a punk by the hair and ruthlessly kicking him. "You cheated on my bestie with some side chick, and you still have the nerve to come back and boss her around? Did you go to bed naked and freeze your brain?" Right before my parents' eyes, I almost beat that boy until he couldn't even stand. Just moments ago, they'd been weeping with joy at reuniting with their long-lost child, but in an instant, their smiles froze, and they became helpless spectators to the chaos I unleashed. When I saw the punk struggling to get up, satisfied, I clapped my hands and turned to my richly dressed parents standing off to the side. "I was kidnapped all those years ago, and that orphanage was less than 30 miles from where you are. You spent twenty years looking for me. Honestly, I don't think you ever really wanted to find me." A flicker of embarrassment crossed their faces. They had been raised in high society, and no one had ever talked to them so crudely before. "Aren't you here to take me home? Are we going or not?" I asked. Only then did they snap back to reality. My mom stepped forward and grabbed my hand gently. "Sweetheart, we've finally found you." When I looked at my family, who claimed to love me but pushed me into the abyss in my previous life, a thick, unresolved resentment filled my eyes. If they didn't like me being their good little girl, then this time, I was not pretending anymore.
