The Silent Heir beneath the cellar
57 bab Bersambung A girl is born alongside her twin sister, but fate is cruel - only one survives. The surviving child grows up cherished by her father and elder brother, showered with love and raised like a princess. Her mother, however, remains haunted by the loss of the other twin, spiraling into grief.
On the girl's 8th birthday, everything changes.
Her father returns from US with another girl - blue-eyed, blonde-haired, and frail - claiming she was the child who had been away for treatment all along. The mother, desperate to believe it, accepts her without question. The new girl is given the lost twin's name, her room, her clothes - even her place in the family. The real daughter is cast aside, forced to live in the basement because there are "no other rooms left."
Yet, even in the darkness, light remains.
Her father and brother still love her more than anything. They clean the basement and turn it into a beautiful room just for her. And a boy - a close friend of her father - enters her life, calling her "Star" and treating her like royalty when no one else will.
As the years pass, she is forgotten. On her 12th birthday, her younger adopted sister is given a share of the inheritance. No one remembers her special day. But on her 13th, her father and brother bake her a cake with their own hands - a small, loving rebellion.
What her mother doesn't know is the truth: the girl she adores is not her real daughter. The one she pushed into the shadows is the child she once lost - the real one who lived.
Now, the girl in the cellar must rise, face the truth, and find her place in a home that forgot her name.
