Ten years ago, my mother disappeared while pregnant with me. My father mobilized every connection in Sario, turning everything upside down in his search. He was determined to find her, alive or dead. He even hired the renowned journalist, Harley Blaine, and the story dominated the trending lists for three whole days and nights. Ten years later, my mother passed away, and I narrowly escaped death myself. Only to discover that Harley had become my stepmother. Harley accused me of being competitive with other girls and bullying classmates at school. Furious, my father threw me out into the snow as punishment. I stood there until my hands and feet went numb, but he showed no emotion. He said, "When a child is poorly raised the blame falls on the parents. "How can you learn your lesson if I don't teach you one?"
