Love Is A Game, I Play For Power

Switched at birth, Ruby Wright endures twenty years of hardship in the countryside before being returned to the wealthy Wright family—only to be warned not to outshine their beloved adopted daughter. But Ruby is no fool. Beneath her meek facade, she stirs her father's guilt, turning pity into power. While others scheme, she quietly amasses wealth and shares—until the so-called country girl claims her place as the true heiress.

The front doors of the Wright mansion loomed like courtroom gates, polished to a judgmental shine. I stood in my thrift-store coat, twenty years of dirt and silence clinging beneath my nails. \n\nFather hugged me with one arm, already glancing at his watch. 'We’re so sorry for what you’ve endured, Ruby,' he said, voice thick with pity. 'But please… don’t make this harder than it has to be. Lillian is our daughter in every way that matters.' \n\nI smiled, small and broken. 'Of course, Father. I just want to belong.' \n\nInside, crystal chandeliers hummed above guests sipping champagne, unaware the country girl they pitied had already opened three offshore accounts in their names. The game had begun.
