The Wyatts were one of the most admired families in America.
Thomas and Jennifer Wyatt owned Wyatt Lands and Estates, a company that leased homes to millions. Their wealth and popularity made them the envy of many.
The Wyatt estate sprawled across acres of manicured lawns, its columns and arches a testament to classic elegance.
But inside their mansion, life wasn't as perfect as it seemed.
The Wyatt twins, Kyle and Kiara, were identical in face but worlds apart in spirit. Kyle was brilliant, a straight-A student, the kind of boy teachers praised and strangers adored. Jennifer paraded him at every event, proud of her golden son.
Kiara, on the other hand, struggled through school with C's and D's. She preferred the quiet, her sketchpad always filled with designs of dresses only she cared about. People often forgot Kyle even had a twin. Kiara didn't mind. Being invisible felt safer.
Her father loved her drawings, and Maria—the maid who had raised them for fifteen years—showered both twins with motherly affection. But Jennifer? Kiara had grown accustomed to her mother's indifference, but it still stung. Jennifer's gaze would light up when Kyle walked into the room, but Kiara might as well have been invisible.
As she watched her mother fawn over Kyle, Kiara felt the familiar ache of being overlooked. It was a pain she'd learned to live with, but it didn't make it any easier.
And though Kiara accepted her place in the shadows, she didn't know her world was about to change forever.
