Intro. Life isn’t always a bed of roses — not for me. I was once the most loved son of a powerful, generations-old family, The Vale family in New York. Parents, relatives, cousins, grandparents — everyone adored me. Then came Rufus, the boy my family adopted out of kindness. What started as generosity became my nightmare. Rufus slowly replaced me, framing me for things I never did, twisting truths until everyone believed he was the victim. Their love for me turned into disdain. I became an outcast while he became the golden child. On my eighteenth birthday, he staged an accident and blamed me. My family didn’t hesitate — they cut me off, disowned me, and made Rufus their heir. That night, I left for Los Angeles — heartbroken, betrayed, and convinced they were better off without me.
