Ever since I was a child, people keeps saying that I am just an adopted child. I keep on denying myself that I am not adopted though many people noticed that I don't have any resemblance with my parents unlike my younger brother. Until one day, a couple went on our house and they are claiming that I am their daughter. I didn't expect that aside from my real parents, I will also found the love that I always dreaming to have.

Chapter 1 Found

I'm almost near our house when I noticed a luxury car in front of our house.

My eyebrows furrowed.

Do we have a visitor?

Who might that be?

It was not as if it's impossible for us to have a rich visitor. My family is kind of rich, I mean my parents has a stable job, we can have the material things that we want. We also have a car but not as expensive as that car.

I just shake my head as I was almost in our house.

What's the big deal Alli? Why are you that curious?! I scolded myself.

I was holding the doorknob when I suddenly felt nervous. This was so weird! Why I am getting nervous? Did something happen?

I slowly open the door. When I went in, I got all the people's attention. My mom, dad and my young bother was looking at me. They look shocked!

Wait?! Why do they look so nervous? What is happening? I then looked at our visitor. I don't know who they were. They look like a couple, younger couple than my mom and dad. They also look on my direction. They smiled at me but tears were visible on their eyes.

What is really happening?!

Can somebody tell me?!

Why my heart keeps on beating crazily?!

"Alli" my mom called me.

I went to my parents to greet them and give them a kiss.

"Mom, it looks like you have a visitor." I just said.

My mom just smiled at me but sadness was visible in her eyes.

"Alli we have a confession to make. Listen to us and try to understand everything that we were about tell you." My mom said in a serious tone..

I saw that their eyes were all teary. There actions make me more anxious. What is really happening? Why are their eyes teary? Did someone died?

"What is really happening? I'm so confused! And who are these people?" I said almost hysterical.

"A-alli they are your b-biological parents." My mom softly confessed.

My eyes widen and tears flowed from my eyes. I look at the couple who they claim as my biological parents. They were smiling at me. They don't know if they will come to me or what. While I just stay still, no emotion or what so ever.

"Alli sorry if we didn't tell you the truth..." my mom said, now crying.

"It's okay. I already had a hint."

They all got shocked by what I said. I wanted to laugh. Since I was young, people were always telling me that I'm just an adopted child. Even my dad teases me sometimes. I never believe that I was an adopted child because they never make me feel like one.

They loved me just the same as my younger brother. But as I grow up, the fact that I don't resemble my parents nor my younger brother became more visible.

"Since I was young, people always tease me that I'm just an adopted child remember? Though you always make it sound like a joke." I said coldly.

I honestly don't know what I will feel nor how I should react.

"Alli..." mom's calling me.

"Don't worry mom I did not take that against you. I'm actually thankful because even though I'm not your biological daughter you love me just the same. I even more spoiled than Dennis." I told her.

I can't stop myself from crying. I wiped my tears and look at my biological parents. I smile and greeted them.

"Hi!"

"Allison!" The woman said.

She went to me and hug me. She keeps on crying. The man beside him also hug me. He was trying to stop himself from crying..

We decided to have our dinner in our house and to tell me why I end up with my adopted parents.

They did not give me to my adopted parents. As per them, my mom had an early pregnancy because of that, my grand parents drive my parents out of their house.

My parents both came from a wealthy family but my father's parents did not approved their relationship because they already arranged my father to someone. My dad stop attending school and started to work for me and my mom. That was the time that they met my adopted parents.

My adopted mom and dad were having a hard time to bear a child. The frustration of having a child led my parents to be close with them. The reason why my mom were always on our house to take care of me while my parents were working.

At first my parents were still able to sustain our needs. Until I became sick. They need a huge amount of money for my recovery. At that time, my moms parents were out if the country. My dad went to his parents to asked for help. They did help us but they want my dad to go abroad to study and be trained for their business.

My dad had no choice but to agree to their condition. My mom can't accept it that's why she got mad at my dad. My mom thought of going back to her parents and beg to accept us. My mom left me first with my adopted mom because she kind of scared that her parents reject us. She doesn't want me to experience to be rejected.

Unexpectedly, my mom's parents accepted us with open arms. My mom went back to my adopted parents but they already left. My mom thought that they runaway from her to steal me because they can't have a child. My mom felt so miserable at that time. She hired a private investigator to look for them but none of the private investigators that they hired found me.

At that time my adopted mom received a news that her mother was severely ill. They rushed to went to Mindoro where her mother was. They can't wait for my mom at that time because they were so worried about her mom. They decided to bring me along with them.

Unfortunately, her mom died. They can't go back to Manila at that time because they need to take charge of her mom's wake and some properties that her mom left behind.

My adopted mom tried to asked for my biological mother from their neighbor but as per them my mother did not return. When my adopted parents went back to Manila they did not stay in their old apartment. That made it more hard for my mom to trace them.

After 4 years my dad went back, he went straight at my mom's place to win us back. And that's the time that he found out what happen to me.

My dad didn't know who to blame at that time.

Will he blame himself or my mom? He just chose to just blame himself. My dad did nothing but to study and work hard for me and my mom so that we don't need to worry about money anymore.

It took a while before my mom decided to accept my dad again. Love always win. She chose to gave my father a chance. They got married and they had 2 more child.

Even though they already have my siblings, they didn't stop to look for me. And this was the day they were all waiting for because finally they found me.

My mom already told my adopted parents that they will bring me with them. They thank them for the love and care that they gave me. They also apologize for thinking ill of them. They even offer them a financial help, a business or anything as their way to thank them. But my adopted parents refused to asked for anything. As per them, they were happy that I came into their life. I completed my mom's dream which is to have a complete family.

My mom also believe that I was their lucky charm, because when I came into their lives, they finally know the feeling of having a complete family. And maybe because of the love that they gave me, God bless them a child of their own which is Dennis.

I started to cry when I heard my adopted mom telling my mom all my favorites and the things that I don't like. My mood, and attitude that they need to adjust or understand.

"Sis you take care okay? Don't be so moody and snob. You go here and visit us okay? I will miss you even though we often argue." My younger said while crying.

"I will miss you too. Especially whenever you annoys me." I hug him tight.

I face my adopted parents.

"My daughter be good to your parents and siblings okay? You come here and visit us. We will miss you. We love you so much." My mom said getting emotional again.

"Yes mom. I'll go here and visit you guys." I said while crying.

I know that this day will come but I still find it hard to accept it.

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."
