The Two of Us
Tragedy struck on a frigid December night in 2005, shattering the peace in our quiet, upscale neighborhood of Hannam-dong, Seoul. The victims were my parents: a British navy officer and his Filipino wife. The brutal home invasion left my twin sister and me orphaned and separated by fate. I was cruelly abducted by the robbers and sold into the sinister depths of a black market linked to an international orphanage. My sister, miraculously spared, was discovered by the police tucked safely under a bed, blissfully asleep and unaware of the horror that had unfolded. Eighteen years later, half a world away, I lived a life of privilege and comfort in the posh surroundings of New York City. Adopted by the billionaire Pages, James and Claire, I had everything a girl could wish for. Or so I thought. My world was rocked when I stumbled upon an online article with a photo of a girl who looked exactly like me-a girl who wasn't me. The article detailed the tragic story of a top student from a prestigious international school in Seoul, South Korea, who had been found beaten and left for dead. My heart raced as I showed the article to my parents. James and Claire, always loving and supportive, were visibly shaken by the uncanny resemblance. It was time to spill the secret they had guarded so closely-I was adopted. As I absorbed this earth-shattering news, I felt a deep, inexplicable connection to the girl in the article. Was it possible that this comatose girl was my long-lost twin sister? Determined to uncover the truth, I decided to travel to Seoul. My journey would take me into the heart of my past, into the whispers of my origins, and into the tangled fate of two sisters whose paths were meant to cross once again.Complete
Finding Purpose (+18) ✔️
***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.Complete
