The night before my wedding, my fiancé watched his entire family laugh at me and simply told me to smile and not ruin the mood. Their so-called lucky drawing gave me a brass tag engraved SERVICE ENTRANCE—an empty prize while his beloved sister received a penthouse suite, a sapphire bracelet, and a promise that the family would always protect her. I thought it was cruel luck until I found proof in the trash that the winning tag had been assigned to her from the beginning. Then I discovered they had also planned to give her a lifetime of free access to the house my mother left me. That was when I finally understood the truth: they had never planned to make me part of their family. They planned to make me useful to it. So I walked away from the wedding, cut off the people who had always expected me to sacrifice, and took back everything they thought I would surrender. They gave me the service entrance. I decided to build my own palace.

They made my son's parentage the butt of a joke. So I made them submit to a three-generation DNA test. On the night of my mother-in-law Celeste's sixtieth birthday, she and her husband, Adrian, used a forged paternity test to turn my five-year-old son into the evening's “surprise entertainment.” My sister-in-law, Tessa, had hidden cameras set up in advance, waiting to capture my reaction when I was accused of cheating. Adrian knew the report was fake, but in front of dozens of relatives and friends, he still called my son a bastard and shoved a prepared divorce agreement at me. After the video went viral, people plastered my son's face across the internet, dug up the name of his preschool, and found the company where I worked. I lost the project I'd spent a year building. My son started waking from nightmares, asking me why Daddy didn't want him anymore. When the truth finally came out, Adrian said, “We just wanted to scare you a little, see if you'd act guilty.
