They say success is the best revenge, but first you have to be seen to be successful. I spent my life as a ghost in my own family—the afterthought daughter overshadowed by my golden brother, Liam. "You're not cut out for wealth," he told me that Thanksgiving night, bourbon on his breath, superiority in his smile. "You're... soft." I said nothing as I loaded the dishwasher with plates still warm from the dinner celebrating his latest venture. My parents hadn't even asked about the six-figure client I'd just landed. They never did. I stared at my reflection in the dark kitchen window—invisible Harper Wilson, the family disappointment—and made myself a promise: I would build an empire in silence. I would become someone they couldn't ignore. And one day, when the moment was perfect, when Liam was at the absolute pinnacle of his smugness, I would reveal just how blind they'd all been. Not because I needed their approval anymore, but because I needed them to witness exactly who I'd become while they weren't looking. They thought wealth wasn't for people like me? Fine. I'd show them what "people like me" were truly capable of.
