Everyone said I was raised too sheltered for my own good. Even after my mom was driven to her grave by Nancy, the homewrecker who took her place, I just sat there, munching on chips and watching TV like nothing had happened. I even started calling Nancy "Mom" for a few bucks. My fiancé thought I was cheap and ended up hooking up with my stepsister, Jessica. Later, the Carter Group wanted to arrange a marriage with our family's heir. Jessica wasn't having it and cried to Dad. She choked out, "The CEO of the Carter Group is a cripple and can't even get it up. I'm not marrying him. Dad, you wouldn't really make me go through that, would you?" My fiancé begged me, saying, "You can't force love. I love Jessica, and I only see you as a little sister. Just do me this favor and marry into the Carter family for her." Dad looked at me, and my eyes sparkled. I said, "Wait, does that mean I'm the heir of our family now?" They nodded eagerly, and I grinned. I said, "I'm in." People in the know all thought I was a fool, treating a meaningless title like it was some kind of treasure. But when I became a multi-billionaire, carrying myself with poise at those high-end dinner parties, they all ended up regretting it.
