The Saint's Fall

Summary

After our parents' divorce, my sister Serena—playing the saint—discovered our father was dating a Manhattan socialite. Desperate to become an heiress, she came to me with crocodile tears.

"Aria," she whispered, "Dad gets violent when drunk. Let me take the hardship for you."

With that, she left our mother’s arms and dramatically joined our father.

In my past life, Serena had stolen Mom’s secrets, learning our grandmother was a Boston elite matriarch. She stayed with Mom, expecting a lavish life—but Mom worked as a cleaner and hot dog vendor, barely affording rent.
