Ryan Walker's first love had been dead for two years when I married into the family and raised his two children. Everyone said I was a Cinderella who'd married far above her station. Ryan thought I was debasing myself just because I bore a passing resemblance to his dead love. His elders looked down on me. High society shut me out. Even the two children I'd poured my heart into raising said I wasn't fit to be their mother, and that I embarrassed them. After six years of exhausting myself just to fit into this wealthy family, I was diagnosed with heart failure. Finally, I was free. I was dying, and suddenly they started to love me.
