Kidnapped at three and returned home at eighteen, she finally believed she belonged somewhere. But what awaited her wasn't family love; it was the endless scheming of the fake heiress who'd lived with them for fifteen years, the cold disgust in her brother's eyes, and a dismissive, "You're nothing but a thankless stray." All because the fake heiress "broke her leg," she didn't even get a chance to explain herself before her own brother dragged her straight to Verdant Hill Mental Health Facility, the scariest place in town. Two years. Seven hundred and thirty days. She was loaded with tranquilizers, electrocuted until she lost consciousness, forced headfirst into toilets, and left to starve in pitch-black rooms until she began hallucinating; she nearly died. Everyone thought she'd rot there, but she walked out alive. When she came back to the Ralph family, she wasn't that timid girl anymore, no more tiptoeing around, serving tea, or trying to please everyone. If anyone dared mess with her stuff, she'd wreck all their treasures. If they wanted her dead, she'd drag them straight to hell with her. They said she was crazy. Yeah, she was crazy.
