Weaponized Love

I was never just a daughter; I was a project designed for a singular purpose: revenge. When Victoria Harrington took me from the orphanage and gave me her name, she didn’t just give me a life of wealth—she gave me her war. I spent thirty years driven by a paralyzing fear of failure, transforming myself into the academic prodigy and corporate machine she demanded, all to reclaim the mansion my father traded for a mistress and a "real" child. Now, I’ve bought back the home he stole and forced him to grovel in the dirt, but as I stand in the silent halls of my childhood, I have to wonder if I’ve finally earned the love I’ve been chasing, or if I’m simply the sharpest weapon my mother ever built.
