Chapter 1
While other eight year–olds played with dolls, my eighth year was spent being Mom’s revenge weapon.]]
She used to be Manhattan royalty who fell for the wrong guy–a mob boss. She stabbed herself to escape their wedding.
But after having me, that man decided he didn’t want her anymore because she had blood on her hands. So he went for some sweet, innocent girl instead.]
Mom hated everyone after that.]]
She told me I was born for one reason only–to help her take back everything she’d lost.[]
I was really smart with a perfect memory. She forced me to learn complicated finance and how to act around high society people.[]
And how to please his future fiancé Gabriel Reid–who now controls half of NYC.[]
After eight years of planning, we finally clawed our way back into the world of wealth and power.[]
When I stood in that boardroom and recited every word of the original will they’d buried–helping Mom reclaim her hundred–million–dollar inheritance—||
looked at Mom, hoping for a hug.

However, she linked arms with Gabriel and coldly told our butler:[]
“Send Aria to boarding school. She’s not to return without my permission.“[]
I didn’t cry or make a scene. I just stared at Mom’s stomach.]
Soon there’d be a baby in there to replace me.[]
No–she would get all of Mom and Gabriel’s love.[]
And I’d be left to rot at some boarding school.]

The butler packed my stuff in my room, not even looking at me.[]
“Your mother said stay upstairs. Don’t even think about going down there and ruining her engagement party.“[]
Downstairs I could hear music and people laughing. I peeked through the crack in my door.
Under all those sparkly lights, Mom was dancing with Uncle Gabriel. She looked so happy–happier than I’d ever seen her.[]
I started spinning around on my bare feet, pretending I was down there dancing too.[]
Then this boy about my age burst through my door:[]
“Hey! All the fun stuff’s happening downstairs! Let’s go!“]]
He grabbed my hand and pulled me out before I could stop him. Next thing I knew, we were at the top of the stairs where everyone could see us.
Suddenly all the grown–ups were staring up at us. Camera flashes started going off like crazy.
“Who’s that kid with the Reid hoy?“]
“Oh my God, she looks just like Isabella!“[]
The reporters rushed over with their microphones right in my face:
“Hey sweetie, how do you know Miss Hawthorne?“]
“Why was she keeping you upstairs?”
“Are you Isabella’s secret kid?“[]
Mom’s face went completely white. Gabriel’s eyebrows crashed together in anger.]]
I just stood there, too scared to move.

Chapter 1
The camera flashes kept going off and it hurt my eyes.
The reporters wouldn’t stop asking nasty questions:
“Isabella ditched her wedding ten years ago–is this her love child?“]
“Is Gabriel Reid actually raising his enemy’s daughter?“]
Gabriel immediately pulled Mom close to protect her. “Get her out of here.“[]
He sounded so cold and mean. He wouldn’t even look at me. Just yelled at the butler, “Right now.”
“D
The butler dragged me back to my room and slammed the door.[]
Then he took out this skinny needle and poked my finger with it.[]
“You little troublemaker, just like your criminal daddy–always gotta mess things up for your mom!“]]
I started crying and tried to get away, but when I saw the blood I got all dizzy and everything went black.[]
When I woke up, I could hear Mom and Gabriel fighting in the next room.

She totally embarrassed me today–what if she ruins everything tomorrow?”
“I’m done. She’s leaving tomorrow morning. I can’t deal with this anymore!“]]
Gabriel didn’t say anything back, so Mom started screaming:
“Gabriel, you
waited eight whole years for me to come back. We finally have our chance to be happy together, and I won’t let her ruin it!“]]
“Don’t you understand? Every time I look at her, I’m reminded of how I betrayed you. I can’t keep living with this guilt–it’s driving me crazy!“]
I dragged myself to my feet, my nails digging into the wall as I silently pleaded with Uncle Gabriel to say no
- no.
Then I heard him sigh. “If that’s what you really want, then fine. Send her away.“]
