I was the rightful heiress of the Nell family, long forgotten by the world. The day I returned home, my brother Steven Nell held my hand with care, while my parents, Victor Nell and Erica Nell, hugged me tightly and wept. Even the fake heiress, Hedda Nell, was consumed by guilt and willing to give me her enviable marriage herself. I was deeply moved, thinking that the heavens had finally taken pity on me, and I finally had family who truly loved me. But in the next moment, I caught their true thoughts. [Jeremy Longman is born impotent, and he likes to torment women in bed. We couldn't bear to let Hedda marry him and suffer.] [Now that Nicola's back, she can marry in Hedda's place and earn Hedda some praise. Two birds with one stone.] That was when I realized that all their affection was just an act. Since that was how it was, I didn't need to keep pretending to be the good girl anymore.
