Chapter 1 Prologue
Scarlett used to have everything until one day she slowly and unknowingly lost everything she had.
It all happened because she trusted someone she thought was her best friend. Someone who manipulates her, trapping her in horrific scenarios until the people around her look at her with contempt and disdain.
Many times his father was summoned by the principal, many times he was about to be expelled by the principal, but because of the power possessed by his father, he was able to stay there.
Because of all the problems that arose, his father became disappointed in him. In his entire life he had never been yelled at or hit by his father, but after a few incidents his father slapped him. Calling him a disgrace to the family name.
Her father could no longer stand all the trouble she was causing. Scarlett had explained everything to her father, about why she got into fights with her friends. About the things she didn't do either. But her father didn't believe her at all.
She feels that she is no longer her father's favorite daughter.
Until one day her father brings two women who are familiar to Scarlett. Two women that Scarlett never thought would enter her family.
One is her best friend, Kyle Campbell. And the other is her father's best friend who also had a good relationship with her late mother.
"From now on Aunt Ellen will be living here." Scarlett's father told Scarlett.
"What do you mean?" asked Scarlett who didn't understand.
"Dad and Aunt Ellen are married. You should call her Mum, and Kyle is your sister from now on."
Scarlett felt like a bolt of lightning had struck her. She was shocked by what her father had said. How could her father marry another woman after he told her that her mother was the only woman he loved.
Scarlett could not accept that. She would never call another woman mother. She only had one mother, and that was the woman who gave birth to her.
"Scarlett, maybe this is too shocking for you. You don't need to call auntie mother. From now on, aunt will take care of you just like aunt took care of Kyle." Ellen smiled gently at Scarlett.
"I will not allow anyone to take my mum's place in this house" Scarlett gave Ellen a sharp look.
"Scarlett, where are your manners!" Scarlett's father scolded Scarlett.
"Dad, you said that you only love Mum, so what is this? Why did you marry another woman and bring her here!" growled Scarlett unhappily.
"Your mum is gone, Scarlett! I need someone who can take care of the household and also look after you. You grew up to be a horrible girl because you didn't have a mother to look after you."
"I don't need anyone to take care of me" Scarlett exclaimed firmly. "And I don't want anyone to take my mum's place!"
"Scarlett, don't be selfish. Dad is lonely, he needs a companion to keep him company." Kyle, who had been silent, opened his mouth. And the woman tried to provoke Scarlett's father by calling Scarlett selfish.
"Shut your mouth, Kyle. This is my family's business!"
"Enough. Scarlett! Agree or disagree, Aunt Ellen and dad are married. You have to accept the fact. Now Ellen and Kyle will live in this house."
With that, Scarlett got a mother and half-sister that she didn't expect at all.
Scarlett had always liked her doting Aunt Ellen, but she still couldn't accept that she was taking her mother's place. She felt betrayed by her favorite aunt and her best friend. Those two people knew very well that she would not allow any woman to take her mother's place, but they knowingly took that place.
After that day, Scarlett saw the true faces of Ellen and Kyle. The two took off the masks they had been wearing in front of Scarlett.
The mother and daughter continued to make her look bad in her father's eyes. One day Kyle slapped himself, then later said that Scarlett did it. Not only that, Clement also did the same thing.

Ellen didn't know that she was pregnant at the time, what she had done had made her lose the fetus in her womb and had also made it difficult for her to get pregnant again.
Scarlett's father was furious and disgusted with Scarlett. So he sent Scarlett abroad and erased everything about Scarlett from her family.
And while she was there, her father never visited her at all. Scarlett thought maybe her father no longer considered her as his daughter.
In the end, there was nothing left for Scarlett. She lost everything. Her position, her father, and the man she fell in love with.
It's been eight years since Scarlett was estranged by her own father. Now the woman has changed completely. No more Scarlett can be manipulated Scarlett will never let anyone hurt her again.
After all the bad things she has experienced, Scarlett's heart has become numb.
However, out of all those bad events, Scarlett had something that eventually fueled her life.
And it was because of that something that she finally returned to the land of her birth.
Scarlett has no intention of taking revenge on the people who have hurt her. She doesn't want to waste her time, but if in her path those people try to hurt her again then she will not stay silent. She will make them feel dozens of times the pain.
Unfortunately, the threads of fate force her to meet people from her past.
Scarlett will never back down, because if she does that she will lose what matters most to her.
Once again, Scarlett is dealing with a scheming stepmother and stepdaughter. However, this time she has metamorphosed from a naive, gullible girl to a tough, heartless woman.
Since fate has brought them together again, Scarlett will right all that has gone wrong in the past.
She will send Kyle and Ellen back to the mud pit, where they belong.
