My adoptive mother wiped my face with feces every day. She had locked me in the dog cage and made me fight the dogs for scraps of food.When my biological parents finally found me, I weighed only fifty pounds at fifteen years old. I was nothing but skin and bones, with my entire body covered in dog bites.They brought me back to the Costello family. I thought I 'd finally have a family who loved me.But the moment I arrived, Brett---the son they had raised in my absence---pulled out a knife."I shouldn't be here. I should be the one living the nightmare Valentino had gone through."My mother immediately dropped my hand and pulled him into her arms."Brett, you don't have to go anywhere. From today onward, the Costello family will have two sons.We will love you and Valentino equally."It didn't take long for me to discover what my mother's version of "equal love" really looked like.Over three years, I was sweating in a cramped closet while he enjoyed a massage in a custom-designed luxury suite.I was huddled in the corner with my meal, while he sat at the table with my family, feasting on the fine dishes his personal chef had made just for him.I walked ten kilometers to school under the blazing sun, while he sat in a Rolls‑Royce with the AC on, humming a mocking little tune.When the government launched the Fairness System, my family registered everyone before I could even react."With this system enforcing absolute equality, Brett will never have to suffer again."I sat in the corner, chewing on leftover scraps, listening to them talk.Three days later, the system went live.They believed that their version of fairness had finally arrived. But it never came.Instead...They all fell apart.One by one.

My fiance, Victor Blackwood, is a mafia boss who rules the country's underworld with an iron fist. To the rest of the world, he is the epitome of power. Yet to me, he is the embodiment of love. But I do not realize the cost of loving a man like him. On Valentine's Day, I cook his favorite dishes and wait for him to come home. However, time passes, and his chair stays empty. Uneasy, I go to Queenie Stone's social media page. She is Victor's foster sister. She posts, "All I said was that I felt lonely, and he came right away. "Even when I accidentally spilled wine on him, he didn't mind. Victor is still someone who puts family first, even if it means neglecting his lover. "He never lets me down. I hope things stay that way." In the photo, Victor's shirt is soaked at the waist. Queenie's handkerchief lingers near his most private parts, but he doesn't pull away. He merely looks at her affectionately. I do not make a fuss and give Queenie's post a like. Then, I send Victor a message that reads, "Let's break up." Victor ignores it as always. Later, I discover that when my breakup message popped up, he had said offhandedly, "Vivienne can't live without me. She's just acting out. "If I ignore her for a few days, she'll come crawling back by herself. She's easy to please." What he doesn't know is that I was easy to handle only because I once loved him. But now that I have decided to leave, he cannot make me turn back, no matter how he tries to win me over.
