Alex Prinssen

Eighteen years ago, a stormy night changed two lives forever.

In a hospital riddled with errors and confusion, two babies were switched at birth without anyone knowing. One grew up in a small house surrounded by fields, waking to the birdsong and helping with simple chores from a young age. The other grew up surrounded by luxury, servants, and a vast mansion belonging to one of the wealthiest families in the country.

The boy raised by the millionaire family was named Alex.

He was attractive, intelligent, and knew how to make everyone adore him. He had two older sisters who treated him like a treasure. They spoiled him, protected him, and indulged his every whim. But behind that perfect image was someone different: arrogant, fussy, and treacherous. Alex was used to getting everything he wanted.

And he would never share what was his.

Then the truth came out.

A test revealed something impossible: Alex was not the real son of the family.

The true heir had lived his entire life in the countryside.

And that afternoon they had just brought him to the mansion.

When the doors opened, everyone watched in silence.

The boy wore simple clothes, somewhat worn shoes, and a small backpack over his shoulder. He looked around curiously while trying to hide how uncomfortable he felt.

The sisters looked at him with disdain.

"Is that our brother?" one of them asked.

"It can't be," the other murmured.

Alex crossed his arms and slowly looked him up and down before smiling.

—So you're the real son... I was expecting something better.

The newcomer remained silent.

But Alex had already decided something.

If they thought they could take his place, it would turn the real son into someone everyone hated.

And that same night he began his first trap.
