The Bride Who Jumped Instead

Summary

The day my biological parents brought me back to their gated estate, their adopted daughter was diagnosed with clinical depression.

When they tried to change my legal last name back to theirs, she screamed and slit her wrists.

When my older brother bought me a welcome-home gift, she climbed the terrace railing, threatening to jump.

Even my engagement to Damian wasn’t spared—the night we set our date, she swallowed an entire bottle of sleeping pills.

Over time, my parents’ initial guilt turned into quiet resentment.
