After the True Heiress Dies

I used to be the apple of my family's eye, but Suzanne Nilson changed that when she showed up on my birthday with a DNA test result.

The Nilson family cruelly kicks me to the curb and throws me back to my biological parents, leading to me being sold off to the village idiot.

Xavier Gubbens, with whom I've grown up, kicks the door down and saves me. Later, he etches a word on my face. "Do you think you're done repenting for your sins with this, Suzanne Nilson?"

Later still, his eyes are red as he pleads, "Can't we go back to how things used to be?"
