Chapter 1

I was the real daughter of the Miller family, swapped at birth.

The first thing I did when I returned to the Millers was to give my biological parents two choices.

“Give me two hundred thousand, and I’ll cut ties with you. I leave. Or, Isabella leaves within twenty-four hours, and I stay.”

My biological parents found me while I was working odd jobs at my foster parents’ diner.

Someone bumped into my shoulder on the way to serving a customer soup, and the hot liquid splashed all over my leg.

The porcelain bowl shattered on the floor with a loud crash.

My foster mother, Brenda, who was binge-watching a show on her phone and munching on chips at the counter, heard the commotion. She rushed over and slapped me across the face.

“I must’ve committed some sin in my past life to have a jinx like you!” she spat.

My face and leg stung. Just as she muttered curses and raised her hand for a second slap, an enraged voice stopped her cold:

“Stop! Who gave you permission to lay a hand on my daughter!”
