Chapter 2

Miranda, the real daughter of the wealthy Hawke family in Zephra, had a life straight out of a drama. She was mistakenly swapped at birth and only reunited with her biological family three years ago.

All the Hawke family members disliked her, including her four older brothers, who loathed her the most. Arabella Hawke, the impostor, was the cherished one instead, the center of their universe. The brothers were so protective of her that they viewed Miranda as a threat to Arabella's happiness and treated her with cold indifference and harsh words.

While her own parents, who claimed they'd make up for her, had never allowed Miranda to steal any thunder from Arabella, prioritizing the impostor.

Two years ago, Arabella pushed a classmate down the stairs, leaving her vegetative.

Things took a turn for the worse; to protect Arabella, the Hawkes conspired together to frame Miranda for the crime by pulling some strings, sending her to prison.

They convinced her to confess in court with false promises of clearing her name, and Miranda had anticipated the fulfillment, yet leaving her with nothing but handcuffs.

Miranda made a silent vow. "Don't worry. Since I've been given this second chance, I'll make sure justice is served."

Just as those who had bullied Miranda in prison, they'd all get their share of punishment.

Miranda opened her eyes. "How far is the Lancaster family estate?"

"Not far, about the same distance as the villa," the driver replied.
