My Whole Family Chose The Fake Heiress I Walked Away

by Shiyu

My family decided our graduation trips with a random draw. My adopted sister, Clarine Prescott, and I would each get our own destination.Somehow, my parents and even my fiancé, Loic Beaumont, all ended up with Hawaii—the destination Clarine wanted.I was the only one who drew Wrangel Island, a remote place few people had ever visited.Loic gave me an apologetic look and kissed my forehead. "I really wish I could go with you, but rules are rules. We all agreed on this."I didn't learn the truth until dinner. I'd stepped outside to take a call, and as I headed back inside, I overheard my family whispering."Thank God Theona didn't catch on. She never noticed us slipping the Hawaii tickets into our hands before the draw." Loic let out a relieved breath.My mother scoffed. "Well, Theona was raised by poor people, after all. She's nothing like Clarine. That girl's always been sharp."My father, Charles Prescott, nodded. "The drawing was a good idea, Loic. I'm always on edge whenever we travel with Theona. She's so clueless about how to behave that I'm constantly worried she'll embarrass us again."Inside, they were laughing and chatting away, but every word cut me like a knife. So I was the one who didn't belong.Fine. If that's what they want, I'll give it to them. I'll walk out of their lives for good.
