Reborn And Remade: Ruining My Toxic Family

I was finally picked up from the slums of Flint by my biological mother, ready to join the wealthy Morgan family in Boston.

But instead of a loving reunion, I was stepping straight into a living hell.

My mother viewed me as a dirty stain on her pristine new life, only caring about pleasing her new husband and his kids.

My "sweet" step-sister Elizabeth stole my design portfolio and spread rumors that I was a shameless thief.

My step-brother Caleb bullied me relentlessly, even throwing a baseball at my face for fun.

When I tried to defend myself, my own mother slapped me across the face in front of everyone.

"You're a jinx! Nothing but trouble since you arrived!"

She forced me to bow down and apologize to the very people who were destroying my life.

Because of them, I was framed, expelled from university, and completely abandoned.

I died a miserable death, carrying the heavy burden of my grandmother's medical bills and a ruined reputation.

Until my last breath, I couldn't understand.

Why did my own flesh and blood hate me so much? Why was my dignity worth less than a broken porcelain vase to her?

Opening my eyes again, I was back on the rainy porch in Flint, clutching the ticket to Boston.

This time, my heart was a frozen lake, and I wouldn't follow a single word of hell's script.
