The day before I was supposed to marry Prince William, Nora Sterling set me up and ruined my reputation. After I was rescued, my family didn't even try to stand up for me. Instead, they made me hand over my engagement to William to Nora. My mother's gaze scraped over me like I was garbage. She said, "Since you're already ruined, there's no way you can marry Prince William anymore. "Let Nora take your place and marry him instead." Nathan Sterling, who had never once been kind to me, sneered, "Nora has always been the perfect one. Had we known you'd crawl into filth, we'd have crowned her from day one." My father flung a steaming cup of coffee straight at my skull. He snapped, "I knew you'd never learn anything good after all those years away. We never should've brought you back. You're nothing but trouble. "Once Nora's married, you can just go drown yourself. I glared at my so-called family, clenching my fists so hard that my knuckles turned white. If they wanted me dead, then fine, I would drag them down with me.
