The Girl Who Had to Stay Ugly Until Twenty

Synopsis

My mother made me stay ugly until I turned twenty. She never told me why. For fifteen years, I hid behind gray makeup, an ugly wig, and everyone's contempt. My stepmother locked me in the attic. My stepsister stole everything that should have been mine. On my twentieth birthday, they dragged me downstairs to watch her marry the richest billionaire in the city. But when the marriage registrar checked the records... He looked up and said, "I'm sorry... Mr. Ember is already married." "...To Elowen Maris." I had never met the man. I had never signed a marriage certificate. Yet the most powerful family in the city looked at me as if I had just returned from the dead. And then I found an old photograph. My mother... Smiling inside their mansion.
