hapter 1 Born rich , I grew up in a remote village because of a kidnapping . Seven years ago , my little sister , whose real mother was a human trafficker , attempted suicide at the news that she would be sent back to her remote home . My real parents and elder brother persuaded me . Can you go on behalf of Grace ? She is too weak to handle any stimulation . I didnt agree . However , my real family made a speech against my will to the reporters and then sent me back to that remote village . My fiance , a powerful and influential real estate tycoon in Timon , sided with them . He said , Amanda , we will get married upon your return . Be patient . He forgot that Grace Hacker was supposed to be my real name … *** Seven years passed . Amanda Hacker . With your surname changed , you will have a bright future . I took the papers from the sheriff , gave him a bitter smile , and said nothing . Then , I limped away . A Rolls Royce stopped on the muddy path . After the car door opened , my fiancé , Adam Powell , came into view . In a black suit , he was noble in every movement . He waved at me . He looked the same as he had seven years ago . Embarrassed , I tugged at my tattered clothes . When I raised my head , I saw my reflection in the car window . It was a withered face with various scars . Adam considerately held the car door for me and then got in the car after me . You must have suffered a lot in the past seven years . I will get married to you as promised . 1/5 Adam held my rough hand and caressed it . The calluses on my hand made his eyebrows furrow . Amused by his distressed look , I withdrew my hand . I had expected the arrival of my real family in the first few days of my seven years in Ouray , especially when I was beaten by my foster father and slandered as the daughter of a human trafficker by my classmates . After those moments of despair and over two thousand days and nights , I figured out two things . Firstly , my real family and Adam didnt love me at all . Secondly , I didnt want to marry Adam anymore . Perceiving my unhappiness , Adam explained , At the news of your return , Grace recalled what had happened seven years ago , so she relapsed into depression . Your parents and elder brother are in the hospital to keep her company . I remained silent , turned my head , and looked out of the car window . Twenty five years ago , I , only two months old , was maliciously taken away from my home by a maid . She took me to a remote village and let her biological daughter replace me to be a scion . My real parents were too busy with work to notice the switch . Ten years ago , the policemen found my real parents after Graces real mother was arrested . Only then did my parents learn of the truth . I returned to the Hacker family , but my parents favored Grace . They did not love me . Grace had stolen my life , and her name was supposed to be Amanda . However , my parents made me give way to her in everything . When my case caused a stir , they denied me as their real daughter to protect Grace . For her sake , they made me go back to that hellish place for another seven years . From then on , she would be Grace forever , and I would be Amanda forever . When I arrived at the Hackers place , only the servants waited at the door . 2/5 They ignored me and attentively walked towards Adam as if I were invisible . My parents loved Grace and didnt love me , their real daughter . The servants were snobbish , so they didnt see me as Ms. Powell , good day . After the greeting to Adam , the butler reluctantly looked at me and said , Ms. Amanda , Mrs. Hacker wanna you to stay at home , so you wont put shame on the Hacker family . Put shame on the Hacker family … Wasnt Grace the daughter of the human trafficker ? Why did I become shame ? However , I had no expectations of my family since they had denied me before the reporters seven years ago . I nodded indifferently . Just as I walked into the house , Adams phone rang . After hanging up the phone , Adam said , Amanda , Grace needs me , so I will have to go see her now . Take a good rest , and I will come to see you tomorrow . After that , he hurried away . I watched his figure gradually disappear . Then , I limped back to my room , the utility room . I pushed the door open and saw dust dance in the air inside the room . I was too tired to do the cleaning and lay down on the bed . Night fell . I was awakened by the noise coming from the living room . My elder brother , Terry Hacker , said , Dad , Mom , given Graces case , why dont we let Amanda move out ? Grace will lose control of herself once she sees Amanda . My dad , Kim Hacker , sighed and then said nothing . My mom , Kerry Mitchell , said , She is a Hacker anyway . What will the others think of us if we let her move out ? What should we do then ? Grace cant stay in the hospital forever , Terry asked . My dad said , Well , let Amanda stay in her room after Grace comes home . 3/5 My nose couldnt help but twitch .. Right then , I received a new message . I picked up my phone , checked it , and saw a confidential email . Amanda Hacker , Congratulations . You have been admitted into the National Security Section . If you accept this job , you will have a brand new identity and go to Grenadan for a secret mission in 10 days . In the next five years , you cant contact your family or friends . I read all the terms carefully . Then , I signed my name . Everyone thinks she is an ugly and dumb girl, only her husband and herself know the truth. When will be the day that the shocking truth is revealed? Anyways, he will protect her for always.
