The Heiress They DestroyedChapter 1 The Punishment Game

My parents died in a plane crash. The company went bankrupt. My older brother lost his mind from the shock.

To keep from losing my last family member, I worked myself half to death.

Three years.

I was drugged and held captive by my brother's sworn enemy. Passed around like a toy by the men Hudson once called friends. Used in ways I couldn't speak of.

None of it mattered.

As long as they paid. As long as Hudson could get treatment. I would have crawled on all fours and barked if that's what it took.

But that afternoon, when I finished my shift and headed to visit my brother, I stopped outside a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Through the window, I saw Hudson Sanchez sitting at a table.

With our parents.

The ones who died in the crash.

"Hudson, this whole charade—faking your death, pretending to be insane—it's gone on long enough." My mother's voice drifted through the glass. "Your sister's wasted away to nothing. This punishment game needs to end."

Hudson smiled.

"She deserves it. She's the one who kept insisting Eliana should go back to her real family. Eliana got so depressed she nearly killed herself."
