William Carter and I grew up together. We were childhood sweethearts, always roughhousing and getting into trouble side by side. The day after he left the country, my family discovered I wasn't their real daughter, and I was thrown out of the mansion overnight. Three years later, at the real heiress's birthday party, William returned from studying abroad and made a heartfelt confession in front of everyone. The whole room melted. Even the real heiress looked ready to nod and say yes, her eyes wide with surprise. But in the very next moment, William's expression shifted completely. He blurted out, "Who are you? Where's Charlotte?" I was across town, waiting tables at a diner.
