Adopted Shinso

SHADOW OF THE HEIRESS

Blurb: Adopted into the wealthy Hargrove family, Charlotte believed she had found her place in the world. But the return of Evelyn, the rightful heiress, triggers a series of strange events: shadowy figures in the woods, whispers in the walls, and memories Charlotte can’t recall. Jack, a mysterious figure who claims to be her protector, warns her of a deadly ritual tied to a centuries-old curse. As the lines between truth and deception blur, Charlotte must uncover the family’s darkest secrets before the curse claims her life—or her sanity. Trope: Adopted into danger, unraveling family secrets, an immortal protector with ulterior motives, and a “chosen one” caught in a web of betrayal and destiny. Climax: The cult captures both Charlotte and Evelyn, preparing to enact the ritual in the family chapel. Jack, overcome with guilt, helps Charlotte escape, but Evelyn refuses to leave, convinced her death is inevitable. Charlotte confronts the cult leader, who reveals that breaking the curse requires the destruction of the family artifact—a mirror that binds the ancient force. The artifact can only be destroyed by someone tied to both bloodlines. Charlotte, realizing her connection to the Hargrove legacy, uses the mirror to unleash the trapped force on the cult. In a final twist, Jack sacrifices himself to destroy the mirror and sever his immortality, ensuring the curse is broken. Denouement: • Charlotte and Evelyn: Evelyn survives but leaves the estate, seeking a new life free from the family’s dark history. Charlotte continues to rebuild and redefine her identity without the shadow of the curse. • Hints of Lingering Darkness: Although the curse is broken, remnants of the ancient force linger in the woods, suggesting not all is resolved. • Final Revelation: Charlotte finds a hidden journal from Jack, hinting at deeper truths about her origins and the possibility that she may not have been adopted by chance.

Bought, Betrayed, Reborn Of The Adopted Daughter

“You will have to do everything that says in this house as long as you are still living under my roof,” Mr. Gabriel Everette yelled angrily at the sixteen-year-old Ava, who was looking at Mr. Everette, who was so angry with her because Ava had complained that her younger sister Abigail bullied her with her friends in school. “I have told you several times that no matter what your sister does to you, you should consider that she is still your sister and you shouldn't complain about her to me. Do you understand?” Mr. Gabriel yelled, causing Ava to nod her head with fear. “I’m sorry, Dad,” Ava said, but Mr. Gabriel walked away, leaving the living room to join his wife and their younger daughter Abigail. This is how Ava has been treated since Mr. Gabriel and his wife, Mrs. Georginal, gave birth to Abigail. They would neglect her and attend to her younger sister, but she wasn't able to understand what was going on; she cried when she was still little but started to understand as she grew up and could only cry and endure how she was being treated. Her younger sister, who was two years older than her, would bully her in school and always wanted to humiliate her, making her life miserable like a living hell. Abigail hated her and accused her of many things, blaming her for whatever reason. She endured for years and always wondered why her parents treated her so differently from how they treated her younger sister until the day she discovered she was just an adopted daughter whom they saw crying at just two years old. Until the day she discovered the truth about why she was being maltreated. She was an adopted daughter. Ava had entered her adoptive parents' bedroom while looking for a file Mr. Gabriel had told her to bring, but she saw adoption papers in her name instead. It felt like a dream, and realization slapped her so hard. She took the file and went through it. With tears, she placed the file back neatly where it had been before picking up the files she was told to bring to her adoptive father. When she discovered this, she felt like her world crumbled, and every fact she knew about herself shattered. The sound of shattering glass echoed in her mind. “I’m really an adopted daughter? Is this why I was being maltreated and felt different from my younger sister?” Ava thought as hot tears streamed down her cheeks. But what happened when Mr. Gabriel Everette was planning to sell Ava off when his company was facing bankruptcy? Ava heard this and ran away from home, but she came back strong and turned into a beautiful, decent wife of a billionaire. Her comeback holds revenge to teach them lessons and make them regret ever treating her so badly.
