The $20 Million Choice

Summary

I was reborn at fourteen. My father’s smooth voice asked: “Stay with your mother, or take a $20 million trust fund abroad?”

In my past life, I’d sobbed “I want Mom!”—only to watch him move his mistress (a company executive) into a mansion, raising their three illegitimate kids while tormenting my mother. She wasted decades before being discarded without a cent. I died destitute overseas, my corpse shipped home via crowdfunding.

This time, I signed the papers. “Twenty million. I’ll take it.”

Not heartless. Just awake: no one here ever loved us.
