I, Sophia, have always felt like an outsider in my own family. My parents died in a tragic car accident when I was just a child, and I was forced to live with my uncle's family. My uncle, who was once a successful businessman, had married a woman named Rachel, who had two children of her own, Victoria and Alexander. They were my cousins, but they never treated me like family.
As I grew older, I began to realize that my uncle's family didn't want me around. They saw me as a burden, a reminder of my parents' death. My aunt Rachel would often make snide comments about my parents, and my cousins would mock me mercilessly.
"I don't know why Mom and Dad had to take you in," Victoria would say, rolling her eyes. "You're so annoying."
"Yeah, you're like a charity case or something," Alexander would chime in, sneering at me.
Their words cut deep, and I began to feel like I didn't belong anywhere. I was just a unwanted guest in my uncle's house, a constant reminder of the tragedy that had befallen our family.
As I walked through the halls of my uncle's mansion, I couldn't help but feel like an outsider. The luxurious furnishings and expensive artwork seemed to mock me, reminding me of everything I didn't have.
I felt like I was living in a dream, a dream that I couldn't wake up from. I was trapped in this nightmare, forced to endure the cruelty and indifference of my uncle's family.
But I knew I couldn't give up. I had to keep fighting, no matter how hard things seemed. I had to find a way to make a life for myself, even in the midst of all this chaos.
Little did I know, my life was about to take a dramatic turn, one that would change everything forever.
