In a big log cabin in the woods, Jade wakes up with the sun her face. She turned on her side to avoid the sunlight and she was met with the face of Annie Smith, her new lover. Jade stretched her hand out and stroked Annie's face "How could anyone think this adorable girl is ugly," she thought.

Annie had short brown hair, freckles, and big black thick-rimmed glasses and had a-cup size chest, 5-foot scrawny structure and an I.Q more than double of the average person.

Annie had suffered through a lot, the moment her parents saw her, they hated her. The reason they felt this way was really shameless.

(A Few Years Ago)

After hearing they were having a girl they were extremely upset "Ugh, a girl can't inherit the company," her father sighed.

"Dear don't worry, with your handsomeness and my stunning beauty she'll be extremely attractive when she's grown and we can marry her off to the son of a powerful family," her mother beamed.

Then after countless hours of painful labor, Annie was born.

But then they saw her, and their hatred and rage ensued "What the hell is this ugly thing, this can't be our daughter you must've made a mistake you idiot," her mother screeched at the doctor while digging her nails into his arm.

"How dare you try and pass this monster off as our daughter, do you know who I am! I'll have all of your jobs and turn this place into a garbage dump and have you all shoveling shit for the rest of your lives!" Her father screamed.

The doctor shook off her mother's claw and yelled back "I can assure you that I pulled that little monster out of your wife's dirty hole and if I had to choose between shoveling shit and going near that garbage dump of your wife's crotch, I'd choose the shoveling shit!" and stormed out of the room.

Her misery started growing more and more, over the years. Even though she started reading and writing at the age of three, her parents couldn't care less.

This hurt her immensely. She felt like a burden and sometimes wished the world around her would just fade away.

But, unfortunately, once she turned six a real nightmare came into her life.

(Flashback: To Annie's sixth birthday)

It was her sixth birthday and she began rushing home for one, it's because her parents can't bother to send a driver to pick her up.

In their own words she was too ugly to be kidnapped and if something were to happen to her they would jump for joy.

But she was also rushing home because her parents said they had a surprise for her when she got there.

After running as fast as her Little limbs could carry her. She then arrived at a huge four-story mansion. She rushed through the door and hurriedly took off her shoes as she panted heavily, when her mother stormed up to her and grabbed her arm "What the hell took you so long," she hissed.

Annie noticed her mother was dressed up more beautifully today and her mind started racing "Mommy is dressed up so beautifully is the surprise a special birthday dinner, or perhaps we are going on a fun family outing, maybe to an amusement park or a circus. She probably yelled at me because she was worried. If Mommy was worried does that mean she loves me? SH-SHE LOVES ME, MOMMY LOVES ME, SHE MUST LOVE ME, WHY ELSE WOULD SHE BE ACTING LIKE THIS."

Just the sheer possibility of getting at least a fraction of love from just one of her parents made her hopes soar and almost brought her to tears.

They arrived at a big door she had never seen before and almost imploded with excitement. Her mother noticed this and rolled her eyes "Does this fucking brat believe this is actually a birthday surprise? Hmph, and those doctors said she was a genius, she's just an idiot."

Annie's mother, Doris Smith, was a shallow person who married her current husband for money. She had a curvy body, long sky blue hair, ruby red lips, and seductive yellow eyes. She wanted everything she laid her eyes on and saw her daughter as nothing but, an idiot dog that stood in her way and would dump her in the ocean if she could.

Annie's mother proceeded to open the door, inside was a big room with a table medium size in length in the middle and another door on the opposite wall.

Annie's dad sat on the right with two empty chairs to the left of him and her grandparents sat on the left with her grandfather in the seat in the seat on the right and her grandmother in the seat on the left leaving an empty seat in the middle of the two them.

Doris sat in the chair on the far left leaving a seat empty between her and her husband. Annie's greatest dreams had seemed to come true about a family dinner and rushed to sit in between her parents. The moment she sat down her mother grabbed her arm and threw her out of her chair. Annie's light frame made her easy to throw and her back hit the wall with full force and she landed with a thud onto her stomach.

She was somehow able to get on her knees and lifted her head despite the fact that she was in massive shock. She put her hands on the floor to try steady her shaking and quivering body. What had she done, did she do something wrong, she couldn't even begin to wonder what she did to warrant such violence she thought.

She then looked up at her mother with her eyes wide and before she could even ask what she had done, her mother slapped her hard in the face.

Annie still was on her knees now propping her self up with one arm while she put her other hand to her bruised cheek and a bloody nose.

Her mother stood in front of her and shouted "YOU BRAT, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ONLY THE TRUE DAUGHTER OF THE SMITH FAMILY MAY SIT BETWEEN US. YOU ARE NOT OUR REAL DAUGHTER YOU'RE ONLY AN ADOPTED BASTARD WE TOOK PITY ON."

Annie, whose heart wad barely able to keep itself from ripping apart, retaliated with "But I am your real daughter." Her mother's face twisted into an angry and disgusted scowl and grabbed Annie's hair gripping it tight and lifting her until her legs dangled.

Annie couldn't understand, she had hyperthymesia so she could remember every second of every day of her entire life and could recount it all to the last detail, even her birth so she knew that she was their child even though they all looked nothing alike.

Doris spun around and pointed Annie's face at her father "YOU IDIOT LOOK AT HIM AND ME HOW COULD SUCH GOOD LOOKING PEOPLE CREATE AN UGLY CREATURE LIKE YOU!"

Her father, Andy Smith was a handsome young man, he had bright red hair and ice-cold blue eyes, stood at a towering six foot six and had chiseled body that mad every man and woman drool at the sight of him.

But he was just as bad as his wife, as his life goal was to sleep with at least five thousand women and constantly cheated, he crippled anyone who dared to oppose him, saw his wife as a walking talking sex toy and saw his daughter as an obstacle to rise to the top as well.

"Hmph, such an arrogant little monster believes she's beautiful enough to be my child." He huffed.

Annie's heart had been shredded to pieces at that moment, as her mother dropped her on the floor. Tears began to flow down her face as she felt her right cheek start to sting from absorbing her salty tears.

Doris then walked to the door on the other side of the floor to the other door and opened it "These are my real children." Through the door walked a cute girl and a handsome boy.

The girl had purple hair and beautiful emerald green eyes, wearing a frilly white dress, holding a light pink parasol, and light pink ribbons that held her hair in twin tails and a white sweater.

She looked like a direct combination of Doris and Andy.

The boy had bright red hair like Andy and Bright yellow eyes like Doris. He wore a white collar button-up shirt with a black tie and a matching suit jacket and pants.

Doris's plan started to come into the light. Doris adopted two children who could pass as her own biological children. Then planned to show them to the public, while also confessing to others that Annie was adopted.

Still assuming she was an idiot, and after reading up on the effects of severe trauma.

She thought that she would be able to brainwash and traumatize her young mind so she could make her believe what she was saying was the truth.

Little did she know about Annie's phenomenal memory.

The purple-haired girl then brushed past Doris and ran over to Annie.

"Mother stop, she loved you like she would her own parents she doesn't deserve this!" she yelled.

She then dropped to her knees and hugged her and she whispered in Annie's ear "Say goodbye to the title of the main daughter and say hello to your first day of hell."

She then stood up and grabbed Annie's arm and yanked her to a standing position almost dislocating her shoulder. "I'm Olivia and this is your brother Oliver. It's nice to meet you!" she beamed.

Olivia and Oliver were twins who were found by Doris and were selected to replace Annie, and they were absolutely spoiled rotten. They were no near as smart as Annie but they were determined to keep living their lives in luxury.

So much so, that they promised each other and themselves that they would betray the other and even kill. Just to prevent being sent back to where they were before.

*Clap clap clap*

An enthusiastic clap rang out through the room.

"Hmm, we like these replacement heirs, pretty, not bratty, and kind even to this ugly beast." Grandmother chimed in and Grandfather nodded as he clapped his hands.

Grandmother and Grandfather Smith were one of the oldest people in the family. Grandmother Smith was a mean deadly old woman who cut out Grandfather's tongue after he talked back to her and fully supported adopting Olivia and Oliver.

Back to Annie, who figured out Doris's plan almost immediately after she revealed the twins, felt broken.

Why did this happen to her, was she really that bad, she was born this way, she couldn't do anything about it she thought. She repeated this over and over in her head trying to pick up the pieces of her now destroyed self but, the damage was done and all that was left of her were extremely small pieces.

(Flashback Over)

Fast forward through the years.

Oliva made good on her promise to make Annie's life hell. She forced Annie to do all of her and her brother's homework. She bad-mouthed her to teachers, school mates, and ruined her reputation over the course of thirteen years.

At the age of nineteen was known as a lying, cheating, stuck up, spoiled, slut, who bullied her sister, and had a long criminal record.

When really she was a quiet, kind, sweet, girl. Who loved reading, anime, manga, and sweets. She didn't like wearing expensive clothes or make-up, her idea of a nice outfit is jeans and a clean shirt. She learned to sew, cook, clean, drive, and overall take care of herself at the age of eight.

Ever since she was six, Annie tried her best to ignore the looks and bad-mouthing. The only thing she really looked forward to was seeing her boyfriend Clint Jones, the son of a wealthy businessman.

They met in college and seemed to hit it off. Clint seemed to find Annie quite endearing.

While Annie felt a huge boost in self-esteem and thought she could finally have someone to share the rest of her life with.

She was madly in love with him and after hearing he was sick, she rushed to his apartment to bring him some soup and take care of him.

She arrived at his apartment door and unlocked it but as she opened it she noticed clothes all over the floor. Her heartbeat quickened as she tried to think of an explanation.

She then heard moaning and creaking in the bedroom. She slowly pushed the door open to the bedroom, her eyes widened and she dropped her soup container.

Clint was with another woman. When they noticed Annie they turned their heads to face her. Her heart stopped as she realized the woman who was fucking her boyfriend was none other than her adopted sister, Olivia.
