Ever since I lost my father as a child, my mother and I lived together in quiet but warm solitude. Though we struggled financially, my heart was always full thanks to my mother's kindness. However, a year ago, my mother remarried. My new stepfather was the fifth-generation heir to a long-standing local company. He generously paid off my mother's debts and began covering my tuition, providing me with stability and care. His kindness and reliability made him seem like the perfect father figure. But now, I'm starting to realize his true nature.
