Daddy'S Little Soldier
Having lived her life again, Lena no longer endured the bullying from her adoptive parents' family and reconnected with her father, Caleb, the richest man in the world, determined to make all those who had bullied her get what they deserved. Gradually, she felt the long-lost family affection and began her own happy life.My hands don’t shake as I press ‘send’ on the email that will bankrupt my so-called brother. Not anymore. I used to tremble when he mocked me at dinner, when Grandfather called me worthless. Now? I watch the storm clouds gather outside my penthouse window, knowing his empire will collapse by morning.
A notification flashes—Caleb wants to see me. His voice still catches when he says ‘daughter,’ like he can’t believe I’m real. I owe him everything. But I also owe the girl I was—the one they locked in the basement during holidays—a reckoning.
My phone rings. It’s the hospital. My adoptive mother has had a heart attack. They’re saying it might be fatal. Part of me whispers, Good. The other part remembers I’m not a monster. Not yet.
Do I let her die alone? Go to her bedside and demand answers? Or release the footage that started it all—right now—and end her reputation before her heart stops?
