The Forgotten Twin My Parents Sold Everything for Her, Not MeChapter 1 The Unwanted Daughter

Alcohol has a way of loosening tongues, and at my older sister's wedding, my Second Uncle was no exception.

"Your sister is lucky to be where she is today," he slurred, swirling his glass. "She really ought to thank your mom and dad. They scraped the bottom of the barrel—sold everything they owned—just to send her abroad for that master's degree."

He hiccuped, leaning in closer. "Otherwise, how would she have ever snagged such a rich husband?"

I laughed it off, assuming it was just the liquor talking.

"Second Uncle, you've had too much," I said. "Lily went on a full scholarship. Our family didn't spend a dime."

He poured himself another brimful glass, a sloppy sneer spreading across his face.

"Full scholarship? Don't make me laugh. Her junior year, she failed a course and almost didn't graduate!" He took a swig. "Your parents sold the farmland and the house back home. Even borrowed ten thousand from me. That's the only reason she made it overseas."

The champagne glass in my hand turned to lead. Cold dread pooled in my stomach.

The timeline clicked into place with sickening precision.
