I was the mistake the Sterling family brought home. When the truth came out, everyone treated me like a disease. Only Julian, the boy I grew up with, looked at me the same. He even invited me to his birthday banquet. But that night, compromising photos of me were taken and blasted to every screen in the room. Julian and my adoptive brother, Ethan, knew the truth. Neither said a single word to defend me. They just wanted to vent their anger on behalf of the Sterlings' real daughter. Those photos made me an outcast. Ostracized by my colleagues, humiliated by my boss, left with absolutely nothing. I jumped from the eighteenth-floor window of the Sterling Holdings building. As I fell, I saw the Sterlings' real daughter. I never expected her to be the only one who cried at my funeral. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the night of the birthday banquet.
