The Royal Betrayal
Updated at Dec 21, 2021, 05:03
It's embarrassing growing up poor. My dad is an alcoholic and my mother has no choice but to stay home, stuck in a life she cannot run away from. Ever since I was a small girl, I wanted everything all the other kids my age had. Just being able to bathe every night would be a luxury! All I ever dreamed of was a better life... Until my mother slammed me with a massive secret on my sixteenth birthday. Everything quickly changed. Being poor was something I always wanted to escape from... Until I found out being poor is better than being wealthy. Wealth comes with secrets. Betrayal. Scandals. I suddenly realize I want my old life back...
