After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 1686

Chapter 1686: Sasha’s Status
Meanwhile, in one of the villas not far away, unlike Sandra, who was enjoying her life, Sasha was slowly dying inside.

The woman held her stomach, now empty of the life living there.

She had deeply disliked her situation and even disliked the child born of it, but it was supposed to be her stabilizer in this disgusting world where women’s primary use was to procreate.

However, now that it was gone before it was born, she had a particular sense of loss.

Was this the phenomenon called ‘missed only when gone’?

After all, that child was still her only blood family in the end.

Sasha was an orphan, born to a prostitute mother and a gambling addict of a father. No one else knew of it, of course, even the orphanage directors.

She was very young when she was deposited in the orphanage, but she was already old enough to remember what her home was like before then.

Fortunately, she was adopted fairly early on, even earlier than Beanie was. It was just that the people who adopted her weren’t exactly good people either.

At least they were rich. They were relatively famous multi-millionaires, wherein her adoptive mother was even a former star.

She was adopted to serve as a good PR. Another use was for her to serve as a foil for their biological daughter, who happened to be sickly. She was raised to be her personal assistant.

However, Sasha had always been ambitious, and she was never a doormat. How could she be satisfied with being a foil to a meek woman?

Sasha believed that the woman was only lucky to be born rich. There was nothing special about the girl, not enough for her to be treated like a servant.

So, Sasha did her best at school, joined clubs, and so on. When she started getting better grades and winning popularity contests, her home life took a turn.

Her “sister” Thalia would cry to their parents, framing the stories in a way that would make it look like she had been bullying her at school. She was grounded, slapped, and her allowance stripped. If she hadn’t gotten a scholarship, she had no doubt she’d have been pulled out of school, too.

In response, Sasha seduced Thalia’s crush, James, and started dating him. James was a famous playboy and was actually in talks of becoming Thalia’s fiance.

Sasha seduced him within days, and they were kissing in public right after that.

Seeing Thalia’s broken face made her week, as if she had won the battle.

It was just that the conditions at home got worse. The maids would feed her rotten things instead of proper food, she’d find her clothes ripped in some parts, and some hidden.

She would often find her things damaged in some form that she even had to go to school looking pitiful.

However, Sasha never did accept losses, and she made sure people knew what she had been going through, looking as pitiful as she could.

Green tea? She could beat the woman with that. Thalia just gaslighted and pretended she didn’t know, even implying she was lying with that snake-ish way of hers. However, Sasha was better, so public opinion would mostly be on Sasha’s side.

Who didn’t pity the poor adopted girl? Everyone loved their underdogs.

What’s more, Sasha set up hidden cameras in her room. She had all the proof in the world of how she was a poor victim.

She even made sure her father’s enemies would get wind of it, and the media definitely had a field day.

Her parents had no choice but to fix her treatment, punish the maids, and send their daughter abroad for a while to let the chaos pass. She needed to get treatment there, anyway.

Things passed by like this, and while things at home calmed down, her parents definitely hated her. However, because she was a PR adoptee, they had to treat her well in public, and Sasha made sure to take advantage of that to get all the resources she desired.

Soon, she grew up with enough credentials to her name, laying up a bright path for her own future. She believed that she, an orphan, had won.

But that feeling only lasted for a short while.

Because her parents could legally let her go by then, they made it hell for her after that. It was subtle, of course, and no one could tell it was them behind the scenes. On the surface, they were still loving parents who would send an allowance to their adoptee, who was already an adult.

There were even articles asking until when she’d stop being a parasite.

The jobs that took her were not good, the terms were horrible, and she was always harassed. Her growth was stifled, and the ambitious Sasha resorted to seducing rich men—old classmates of hers—to climb up.

This worsened her reputation in high society, but she couldn’t settle for less.

Like this, she lived a life of pleasuring men. In a sense, she became just like her mother. However, she was much better. After all, all her men were rich and powerful.

She spent the rest of her adult life in Terran, dealing with vindictive women and lecherous men.

Even her poor days in the orphanage ended up being good memories.

The simple life in the orphanage, surrounded by innocent kids.

And…Garan, she still remembered that boy’s name. He was her first love.

Though he hated her after she let her pettiness get ahead of her, and she tricked a little girl into a lonely place.

He claimed she almost died, though Sasha knew he was overreacting, like he usually was when it came to that little girl. That place was not that difficult, and she was planning on sending an adult anyway!

…she just forgot about her for a day.

Anyway, she spent her 20s— into her 30s—living like a high-end prostitute. Then the Migration happened, and she practically just lived like how she always did.

She held her empty stomach once again.

At least she thought she’d have family in this place.

Apparently, not.
