Chapter 5

I rubbed my eyes, seeing the people on the stage flickering like a glitchy screen.

Even Kael, with his flushed face, and Genevieve, shrouded in gloom, were flickering incessantly.

I breathed heavily, my eyes wide open, staring blankly at the sea of heads swaying above me.

Suddenly, something clicked in my foggy mind!

My eyes snapped wide open.

No... No! It's all wrong! Everything's backwards!!

I'm the sole heir to the top-tier Belmont Estate, a family name that can make Wall Street tremble with a stomp of my foot.

When the hospital report showed early-stage bone cancer, my whole family panicked.

I'm still young, without children. The Belmont legacy can't end with me.

While they sought out the nation's best doctors for my treatment, they were also searching for a woman willing to carry on the Belmont bloodline.
