Forget the riches and the popularity.    Rissa didn't want any of this as much as she wanted her parents to be around the house. She spent most of her childhood surrounded by strangers who only work as staffs in the mansion. There was nothing she could do to prevent them from always leaving her. This was until her mother bailed someone from jail, a young offender whom they had forgotten. A boy who lost his parents at a young age and was left to face the world alone. After so many years, they bring him back into their lives to stay in their house. Mykel is all grown up now, has tattoos, a handsome face, and a clever mind.  The first thing Rissa does was to hate him. She called him a jerk and berates him for being an ex-convict.  All that changed with time after Rissa fell for him. But Mykel has a grudge that won't go away. A strong zeal to kill and his target was her parents.

Rissa's pov

The dining table got so quiet and lonely that I could hear myself chewing down the pancakes.

I thought I had gotten used to the loneliness. Why does it seem to affect me so much this morning???

Oh! Now I get it. Mom and dad promised to join me for breakfast since it's the first day for the semester.

I should have known it was a promise that they weren't willing to keep.

I don't blame them either. They're the busiest human beings I've ever come in contact with since 16 good years of my life.

They get so busy that they couldn't even give me a sibling. Not one, not two, none at all!!!

At least, I have my two best friends - Zoe and Alex to comfort me in that sad reality.

Oh! And my dog as well.

Her name is Pineapple and she keeps me company whenever I get bored of my phone and laptop.

And during this summer vacation, we've gotten very close that she follows me everywhere.

Suddenly, storming footsteps emerged from the fleet of stairs and mom's voice arguing followed.

*He's your best friend's son for God's sake. Caleb has always been by your side till the day he died!*

I was a bit surprised to hear mom yelling. She's really sweet and rather smiles in silence than to argue.

But for the fact that she's sounding so defensive, it must be something important and she's definitely gonna persuade dad.

I got up from the seat and reached for my bag on the other seat.

Next, dad came down holding his briefcase while mom scuttled after him.

They were already dressed up for work in a blue matching suit.

I'd say adorable but I'm sure they're just wearing it to impress people.

"Good morning mom" I greeted as we half hugged.

"Morning dad" I muttered waving three fingers at him.

He smiled and settled down at the dinning table.

He picked up a short bell and shakes it. Immediately, one of the maids came rushing in.

"I'm sorry we didn't come down earlier to have breakfast" Mom said with her hand still on my shoulder.

I released a wry smile.

"It's alright. Maybe another time" I shrugged hopefully.

"Okay sweetheart and we can also go to the salon and have a mother and daughter time this weekend" She beamed.

"Yes, mom. That would be awesome" I chimed in.

"Alright ma'am. I'm going to school now" I said and she bids me off.

I got outside our huge house where the SUV that takes me to school every morning was waiting.

I was about to approach the car when something held me back, or should I say someone.

I turned to see my dog - pineapple clutching tightly onto my legs.

Aww, I knelt on the floor and rubbed it's fur.

"I'm gonna be back later, okay?" I cooed touching him all over.

My personal maid had arrived and she took the dog from me.

"Make sure you feed it and give it a long warm bath, alright?".

"I'll do just that, ma'am" She stated.

I smiled and entered the SUV. Pineapple kept barking as the car drives off. We were followed by another car filled escorts.

Dad's a politician so you could say we are pretty wealthy.

It's a short ride to school and the moment I see the tall sophisticating fences of the school, I quickly put a sunshade glasses on.

(Juvenile detention center)

Mykel's pov

I sat on the bare floor staring at the floor. I could hardly see it because of the darkness that engulfed me but I had already stitched the images to my mind.

I've been here in a juvenile detention center for three years and just yesterday, some lawyer told me I'll be released soon.

I scoffed. I thought I would stay here till I turned 18. I still have a year to go...

I wish I can close my eyes and open them back at the house in Korea. With my parents and best friend.

Things would have been better if my dad didn't die.

The cell door creaked and soon noises of keys dangling filled my ears.

I looked up blankly to see the jailer and 'that' lawyer standing behind the door.

"Get up Asian!" The jailer yelled opening the door. I stayed put with my eyes piercing into his. He knew very well that I wouldn't flinch.

He sighed and moved into the cell.

"Get up. It's time for you to go" He stated with his arms folded.

My eyes drifted to the lawyer who wore a big smile.

I stood up and followed them out of the cell. As we walked along the hallway, all eyes from the other juvenile inmates steeped on us.

The same question was written on their faces.

I could tell.

We got to the office where my things were first taken from me.

A fresh set of clean clothes and shoes were handed to me.

"Congratulations Mykel, you're free to go" The chief inspector said wearing a smile.

I stared at them for some seconds including the lawyer.

Then, I was able to find my voice again;

"Who had me released?" I asked calmly.

"Your late father's best friend. He's a politician - one of the wealthiest in America" He replied and I nodded perfunctorily.

"Once you're done dressing up, you'll be taking to his mansion where he lives with his family" The lawyer added and I couldn't help but cringe.

Why would he release me after three f***king years? After he left my father to die? What's his deal anyway?!

I'll just keep the anger aside.

First, I need to leave this place.

For seventeen years, I was the crown jewel of the Kensington empire, the perfect daughter groomed for a royal future. Then, a cream-colored envelope landed in my lap, bearing a gold crest and a truth that turned my world into ice. The DNA test result was a cold, hard zero percent-I wasn't a Kensington. Before the ink could even dry, my parents invited my replacement, a girl named Alleen, into the drawing room and treated me like a trespasser in my own home. My mother, who once hosted galas in my honor, wouldn't even look me in the eye as she stroked Alleen's arm, whispering that she was finally "safe." My father handed me a one-million-dollar check-a mere tip for a billionaire-and told me to leave immediately to avoid tanking the company's stock price. "You're a thief! You lived my life, you spent my money, and you don't get to keep the loot!" Alleen shrieked, trying to claw the designer jacket off my shoulders while my "parents" watched with clinical detachment. I was dumped on a gritty sidewalk in Queens with nothing but three trunks and the address of a struggling laborer I was now supposed to call "Dad." I traded a marble mansion for a crumbling walk-up where the air smelled of exhaust and my new bedroom was a literal storage closet. My biological family thought I was a broken princess, and the Kensingtons thought they had successfully erased me with a payoff and a non-disclosure agreement. They had no idea that while I was hauling trunks up four flights of stairs, my secret media empire was already preparing to move against them. As I sat on a thin mattress in the dark, I opened my encrypted laptop and sent a single command that would cost my former father ten million dollars by breakfast. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves, but they forgot one thing: I'm the one who leads the pack.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."
