My parents once adored me like a princess, spending everything to give me a perfect childhood. When my sister was born, they promised their love wouldn't change. One day, I lowered the AC by one degree to cool my sister's fever. My mother slapped me, locked me in the refrigerator, and told me to stay until I learned not to compete for their love. They forgot the heavy-duty lock and forgot me inside. They assumed I was sulking in my room. Maya rescued me secretly and hid the truth, letting my parents believe I had died. They wept and begged for forgiveness. Later, they tried everything to make amends. I chose not to forgive.
