Chapter 2

My dad held my hand and said, "Sienna, I'll definitely give you the best life possible."

My mom stared at me in complete disbelief at my sudden betrayal. Before the divorce, we had supposedly agreed that, whether my dad wanted the divorce or not, I would choose her unconditionally.

However, she did not know that I had been reborn.

The closeness between my dad and me must have stabbed her right in the heart. She pointed at me and started screaming, "Sienna Lawson, what kind of lies did your dad and that woman feed you? I birthed you, so how dare you choose him over me?"

She hissed, saying, "Do you have any idea what I've sacrificed all these years to raise you? I was willing to leave with nothing just so that woman and her son wouldn't bully you! How could you be so heartless?!"

I stared coldly into her eyes, completely unmoved. I had heard this kind of emotional blackmail countless times before.

Every time she needed me to lie to trick my dad into coming home, she would say those exact words. After lying so many times, my dad eventually stopped falling for it. Then, she would force me to hurt myself just to get his attention.

Even now, remembering those days of being manipulated, I could not help but shiver.

When my mom saw my lack of reaction, she turned her rage on my dad. "Once he remarries, he'll surely become a stranger to you! I can guarantee that I won't marry anyone else, so no one will ever dare to hurt Sienna. Can you promise her the same?"

Just as my dad was about to speak, I rolled up my sleeves, sobbed, and said, "Dad, I just want to live with you! Please don't abandon me! Every time you're not home, Mom forces me to cut myself with a knife! If I stay with Mom, I'll die!"

When my dad saw the scars all over my arm, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot. He pulled me into his arms and glared at my mom with fury.

He growled, "Audrey, even wild animals won't harm their own young! How could you be so cruel? And to your own daughter? You wanted a divorce, right? Then get out now!"

In my mom's so-called win-him-back plan, step one was to leave the marriage and take me with her. Then, step two was to use my scars to guilt my dad into marrying her again.

However, I had exposed everything at once, and she finally panicked.

"Sienna, you ungrateful brat! I should've never given birth to you! I'll pack my things and leave the Lawson residence right now. You two better not regret this!"

She stormed upstairs and, an hour later, came down dragging two suitcases.

As she headed for the door, I grabbed one of her diamond-studded designer suitcases and asked, "Mom, didn't you say you'll leave with nothing? Why are you taking Dad's million-dollar suitcase?"

The suitcase fell open, revealing various expensive purses and jewelry inside. I pressed further and said, "Mom, don't tell me you've lost your pride? You say you want to walk away like a strong, independent woman, but now you can't even let go of the luxury bags and jewelry Dad has given you."

My mom gritted her teeth and let go of both suitcases, looking at me with disdain. "Who cares about these worthless trinkets anyway?! When that homewrecker brings her son to bully you, don't come crying to me!"

Watching her dramatic exit, I knew she was already fantasizing about some dramatic redemption scene where my dad and I would eventually beg her to come back.

However, her dream was destined to be shattered.

My best friend looked me in the eyes and took everything I had built with him. And I remember standing there, wondering how I could feel so empty when my heart was still beating.

They don't know who I really am, and that might be the only advantage I have left. Then he appears-calm, powerful, watching me like he sees the cracks I try to hide. And suddenly, revenge doesn't feel as simple as it used to. Neither does healing. This is my second chance. Not to love recklessly... but to choose myself, even if it changes everything.
