You Faked Your Deaths to Punish Me?! That’s Illegal, Family! novel Chapter 11

Chapter 1

That line Eva just dropped hit me like a freight train.

She’s reborn too.

I stared at her smug, victory-drunk face. Yeah. I got it now.

“Get in, miss.”

The Sterlings didn’t send anyone-just a driver.

Same as last time. Back at the orphanage, when Director Miller told us to choose, Eva jumped first. All of it so sudden I couldn’t even breathe.

She stood there, chin up, looking down at me. “I’m not living some broke-ass life. Anna, you can suffer through that hell for me.”

Later, she got everything she wanted-that rich family life. But her smile died a little more every day.

I climbed into that black Rolls-Royce Phantom.

The driver rattled off rules the whole ride. What I could do, what I couldn’t, how to behave when I got there.

“Got all that?” His sharp eyes locked onto mine through the rearview mirror.

“Yeah. Got it.”

The car pulled up to a mansion that looked like a goddamn palace. I followed the driver inside.

“Ma’am, she’s here.”

The woman on the couch-elegant, cold-looked up. Her eyes swept over me like I was livestock at auction. She waved me closer. “Come here.”

“What’s your name?”

“Anna.”

Anna. Director Miller gave me that name. Said it meant a peaceful, smooth life.

The woman nodded. “Good. From now on, you’re Anna Sterling.”

“Alfred, take her upstairs.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

I trailed behind Alfred, every step echoing. The handrails? Rare sandalwood. The floors? Italian marble. Everything screamed money.

But in my last life, I earned all this myself. Built it from nothing. So no-I wasn’t impressed.

Alfred glanced back at me, his eyes flickering with surprise.

He pushed open a door to a massive princess bedroom stretching out in front of me.

“Miss, this is your room now. Rest up. I’ll come back later.”

Then he left.

I walked in, taking it all in. The room was perfect, expensive. The Sterlings clearly didn’t cheap out on their adopted daughter. Every corner dripped with upper-class luxury.

And something inside me roared to life.

Last life, I clawed my way to this with no powerful family backing me-just my own two hands.

This life? I’ve got the Sterling name behind me.

I’m going to carve out my own goddamn path.
