My mom was the true heiress of the Lewis Family, but she got snatched away and dragged into the mountains. Before all that happened, she was married and already had a two-year-old son. Once she was in the mountains, they sold her to an old man pushing sixty, and that is how I came into the world. When I was seven, the Lewis Family finally showed up in the mountains with the police. My mom was sobbing so hard she could barely speak, clutching her ten-year-old son in a tight embrace. Then she looked at me, turned to the police, and asked them something. "Can I not bring this child home with me?" The first time I met my uncle and my ten-year-old brother, they were visibly upset and full of contempt. "How could the Lewis Family ever accept a child from that scumbag?" my uncle snapped. I was terrified, trembling from head to toe. I clung to a corner of Mom's shirt, too scared to say a word or even lift my head.
