The Beginning: The Mother’s Curse
"It started in a cold, sterile room. Hugo, with his fragile frame and mismatched eyes, looked up at his mother, seeking a warmth that wasn't there. She looked at him not with love, but with a chilling indifference. 'You were a mistake,' she whispered, her voice devoid of any maternal bond. In that moment, Hugo realized he was an outsider in his own home. To the world, he was an error; to his half-siblings, he was merely a shadow to be stepped on, a servant used to fuel their own ambitions for the inheritance."
