From Substitute to Queen

Synopsis

Prince Jasper Hamilton had fallen from his horse, leaving him unable to father children. My elder sister, Milana Nicholson, tore up her marriage papers on the spot, sobbing, "I won't marry him!" All eyes in the room turned sharply to me, the second daughter of the family. My mother grabbed my arm. "You will go in her place." I smiled coldly. "The betrothal papers clearly say it must be the eldest daughter." My father paused, then silently carried the family registry from the study. In front of all the guests, he used red ink to cross my name into the legitimate line. "From now on, you are officially my eldest daughter." I grinned. Little did they know, the prince had only lost his ability to bear an heir. But what I wanted was never the child.
