My Family Tossed Me Aside, But I Came Back to Reclaim EverythingWhen I was little, my brother Brandon and his first love, Leo, were kidnapped.
The kidnappers were ruthless. They specifically demanded that I, a small girl, deliver the ransom.
Brandon and Leo were safe, but I was taken as a hostage and eventually sold into a brothel.
My parents were heartbroken, so they adopted a girl to replace me.
Ten years later, relying on hazy memories, I finally found my way back to the house I once called home.
My family hugged me, weeping floods of tears.
Not wanting to make things difficult for me, they didn't hesitate to send the adopted girl away.
But the day before Penelope was supposed to leave, Brandon cruelly pushed me down the stairs.
“Sometimes I wish she’d just died ten years ago.”
“But she’s your sister, your *real* sister. She risked her life for you back then.”
“Does being ‘real’ even matter? I only see Penelope as my sister.”
Mom and Dad didn't argue. Maybe that's what they secretly thought too.
I slowly opened my eyes, deliberately feigning confusion.
“Who… who are you people?”
I wasn't welcome here.
So, I’d take everything back to square one.
My fake family? I didn't need them.
And everything that was rightfully mine? I’d take it back with my own two hands.

My head still spun, and I tried to sit up.
A voice, laced with fury, crashed down on me:
“Don’t pretend you’re still asleep now that you’re awake!”
It was my own brother, Brandon Albright.
He stood by the hospital bed, his brows furrowed, his tone dripping with impatience.
“You hit Penelope, and we haven’t even settled that score yet. Now you’re playing the victim?”
Before I could even open my mouth, Leo Davis, my childhood sweetheart, suddenly stood up from the corner, his voice filled with urgent concern for Penelope:
“Penelope? What happened? Is she hurt?”
His face was etched with worry, and his gaze towards me carried an added layer of blame.
But Penelope knew perfectly well this was all her made-up story.
Yesterday, I caught her secretly tossing the new dress my mother bought me into the trash in the living room.
Afraid I’d tell, she deliberately cried to Brandon, claiming I pushed and insulted her.
And now, somehow, it had become *my* fault.
Leo quickly walked to the bedside, his voice firm and unyielding:
“Chloe Albright, you apologize to Penelope right now! She’s so kind; how could you lay a hand on her?”
I rubbed my throbbing temple, my face cold as I looked at Penelope, who was standing behind Brandon.
“I don’t remember anything. Did I… do something to you?”
Penelope’s eyes instantly flickered with panic. She didn’t dare speak, just shrank further behind Brandon.
Brandon immediately shielded Penelope, glaring at me with a harsh reprimand:
“Don’t you dare try to scare my sister! You’ve clearly been in that brothel too long; you can’t get rid of that wild streak!”
“Chloe, if you still consider me your brother, then apologize to Penelope right now!”
Watching him protect someone else, the last shred of hope I had for my family crumbled.
I forced a smile, my voice icy:
“Who wants to call *you* brother? I don’t even know you.”
“You’re faking it! Keep faking it!”
Brandon was enraged by my words. He reached out, grabbing my arm.
“Mr. Albright, please calm down.”
The doctor quickly intervened, seeing the situation.
“When the kidnappers took Ms. Albright ten years ago, they detonated a bomb to deter police pursuit.”
“Ms. Albright’s head sustained an impact, leaving a lasting sequela. This fall down the stairs likely stimulated those nerves. It’s highly probable she’s genuinely suffering from amnesia right now.”
The kidnapping of the eldest sons of the prominent Albright and Davis families had been a widely known scandal back then.
