Ashes and Obsidian

Summary

I was the Blackwell family's real heir, lost as a child and recovered only five years ago.

After Grandfather's will left me the controlling shares, the adopted son, Damian, jumped into the pool himself and swore I'd pushed him.

My parents never bothered to check. They shipped me overnight to the poorest mining belt in Kembala.

Three years later, my father called me for the first time.

"Damian isn't angry anymore."

"Blackwell Forge Holdings is short on cash."

"Crawl back here and marry into Gloria Dane's household in Damian's place, so she'll invest in us."

I laughed.
