“I carefully hid my terrifying reality to protect my fragile little brother. By day, I was just a poor, invisible foster kid trying to survive in a chaotic home. Then, my foster parents brought home Jadyn. He flashed a flawless, sunny smile, but he was a manipulative sociopath who charmed everyone while secretly targeting us. He stole my brother's art prize money to buy a luxury guitar, crushed his heartfelt drawings, and played the humble victim perfectly. My foster parents treated him like the perfect son, while I was painted as the jealous, angry villain. At school, he became the golden boy, destroying innocent girls who liked him and throwing them to the wolves to build his saintly reputation. I endured his midnight torture and twisted psychological games just to keep my brother safe. I thought if I kept my head down and suffered in silence, I could survive his torment until graduation. I thought Jadyn was the worst monster I had to face. But I was wrong. During the school's spring festival, while Jadyn was soaking up everyone's worship on stage, a deafening roar filled the sky. A sleek, black helicopter landed right on the field. Eduardo Olsen, the ruthless billionaire who secretly controlled my life in the shadows, stepped out. He completely ignored the frantic principal and walked straight past a stunned Jadyn. He grabbed my wrist and kissed my hand in front of the entire school. My carefully hidden hell was just dragged into the blinding light.”
