Reborn: The Daughter They Betrayed Story Introduction Aradhya Sharma spent thirty years believing that love could change everything. She loved her family despite being treated like a burden. She trusted her five brothers despite their hatred. She defended the sister she never knew she could trust. And she loved Vikram Singhania with all her heart, believing that he would be the one person who would never abandon her. She was wrong. At eighteen, Aradhya's life changed when her family adopted Anaya-a sweet, innocent girl who quickly became everyone's favorite. From that day forward, Aradhya slowly became the family's unwanted daughter. Anaya's tears were believed. Aradhya's explanations were ignored. Anaya's mistakes were forgiven. Aradhya was blamed. Years later, Aradhya discovers that the person she called her sister had been manipulating her life from the beginning. And the man she loved was secretly involved with Anaya. On her wedding day, Vikram leaves her. But that isn't the end. Anaya's final betrayal leaves Aradhya with nothing-and when tragedy strikes, nobody from her family even comes looking for her. Then Aradhya opens her eyes. She's twenty again. Ten years before the wedding. Ten years before the betrayal. Ten years before everything falls apart. This time, Aradhya doesn't want their love. She doesn't want their approval. She doesn't want to be the daughter they finally regret losing. She wants her life back. And this time... she knows exactly who to trust-and who to destroy.

After her mother's death, Demetria finds herself in a care home. Where she is to stay...until her social worker pulls her out of class. Only to tell her she's been missing for eleven years. In Spain.

Who will help her along the way? Will she even find help?

Alanna did everything in her power to gain her parents' approval: wore the right clothes, dated the right men, attended the right parties, and made enough money to get them through the doors of high society that had long been out of their reach. Instead of a thank you for all she had done, she was blamed for reacting the wrong way to finding out her husband had been cheating on her with her younger sister-and her family wanted her to accept it because it was "true love." When Alanna decided she was done vying for her parents' approval and started feeling isolated, an old classmate came to her with an offer she couldn't refuse: marry him and join one of the most powerful families in town. The catch? Intimacy was off the table. Any plans for future children would be done through surrogacy or artificial insemination. Deciding this was the only way to regain her dignity, she agreed. But her growing attraction to her new husband made the no-intimacy rule all the more unwelcome.

We were together for six solid years. Broke together. Dreaming together. Building Apex from my kitchen table at 2 a.m. my spreadsheets, his vision, our future. I gave everything: savings, nights, trust. He promised I'd be there when we made it. Then one afternoon he looked me in the eye and said, "I can't do this anymore." No fight. No real reason. Just gone. Later I learned the truth: the "cousin" who was always around wasn't family. She was the woman he'd been seeing. His sister my best friend helped hide it, helped plan their life while I was still hoping he'd come back. Months later, wedding photos online. Him in a suit. Her in white. Family smiling like I never existed. I broke. Nearly didn't survive it. But I didn't vanish. I left. Rebuilt. Turned the same skills I gave him strategy, discipline, quiet strength into my own success. Stronger. Independent. Thriving. When Apex collapsed liquidated, everything gone, him left with nothing he called. Tired. Remorseful. Wanting to "fix us." I didn't come back to collect. I didn't need to haunt. I just stepped away. Karma handled the rest. Not revenge. Just consequence. When you discard the person who quietly held it all together, the structure doesn't stand. Gravity does what it always does. And I? I'm already somewhere new. Solid. Mine. That's enough

On a lavishly decorated altar sparkling with luxury, two people stood exchanging their wedding vows. The bride wore a stunning red lehenga, while the groom was dressed in a simple blue sherwani. He looked more like a friend than a husband on his own wedding day. Still, Shraddha, like any typical Indian bride, didn't bother much about it. In fact, she was very excited about beginning her new life, even though it was an arranged marriage. When the ceremony concluded, the Pandit Ji instructed Anand, the groom, to apply vermillion to her forehead. Shraddha smiled shyly as he leaned forward to smear it on her. Anand was a renowned doctor who was twice her age that secretly harbored a deep, inexplicable hatred for her. But why? Just as the vermillion touched her forehead, a deafening explosion shook the entire hall. Decorations came crashing down, and guests screamed and scattered in panic. Amidst the chaos, Anand saw the altar beginning to collapse. He turned and fled, leaving Shraddha behind. He did not care whether she lived or died. All he wanted was to escape the burden he had been forced to accept which was, her. Shraddha saw him running away with the priest. She tried to stand, but her lehenga caught on a nail, trapping her in place. The next morning, after what should have been their wedding night, Anand's cold words shattered whatever hope she had carried with her. He made it clear he would never touch her, not even to save her life. His heart, he said, would always belong to his late wife.

"Listen to me carefully," the woman said and grabbed his chin tightly to forcefully make him look into her eyes, "Love and happiness are two things people like you can't have, honey. You're probably wondering why. But it's easy to explain: the only thing everyone cares about is the family you were born into. It doesn't matter what you think or what's inside of you. You'll survive by wearing a mask and not letting anyone find out about your most vulnerable side. It's unfair, isn't it? Well, that's just how life is. That's why you're going to marry Jeon Jungkook and be the quiet, reserved and classy husband everyone expects you to be. You'll look pretty and obey, raise your future children and keep your head high up, do you understand?" Jimin was only eighteen when his father Park Woosung decided to marry him off. "People can be really cruel sometimes, you know. I'm scared of him. I don't want to end up like my mother... I want freedom." Not really having a choice, he agreed. "If you want freedom, do what my sister did. Leave this all behind." Knowing his family's curse followed him everywhere, he desperately tried to escape their disturbing secrets. "He wouldn't let me." Only to find himself trapped in another vicious circle. "You know, you kind of remind me of Ellin. She used to be the most innocent person in this house, yet there was something so incredibly sad about her. Even if she seemed older than her actual age, sick and tired of this world, I would always see a scared and helpless child when I looked at her." #Jikook Inspired by: Secession Studios- Lucifer's Waltz
