-law…”

“Tastes change depending on one’s mood, don’t they? It’s always a good idea to ask the person who is going to eat it before you make it. Annabelle is right.
Maybe your mother didn’t teach you well.”

“That’s…””


I swallowed hard as I was about to yell back.

“I’m extremely sorry… I’ll be careful from now on.”

“I always admire your remorse.
I wish it was accompanied by results too.
You really are a burden to the Tenner family.”

“Hurry up and bring me my socks! I have to leave with my mother!”

I bit my lips as I bowed my head deeply while cold words poured down on me.

Eight years ago, my mother passed away, and before the mourning period was over, my stepmother remarried my father and together with her, she brought in my sister-in-law, who was two years older than me.


After those two blonde-haired, blue-eyed, beautiful women came to our house, my father stopped looking at me, a plain girl with chestnut hair and hazel coloured eyes.

My mother’s dresses and accessories have all been taken away by my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law, while I wear old clothes, mending them over and over again.
My hands are rough from the daily chores, and my skin and hair are in shambles from the lack of nutrition since I only eat leftovers from the family.

Even so, there is hope for me.

Three days from now, on my 18th birthday, I will be able to receive a trust fund that my mother created for me.

It is not a large sum, but I will leave this house with it.

I no longer want the title of viscount in name only.
It will be hard to leave the house filled with my mother’s memories, but I will be able to live my life as I am rather than staying here.

That’s what I had thought…

My little dream was betrayed in the worst possible way.
