Dead No More

Summary

The imposter who stole my life tried to kill herself again, bringing my engagement party to a screeching halt.

I was done. Utterly exhausted.

I set a metaphorical fire to that grand ballroom and vanished without a trace.

Five years passed before the Hawthorne family saw my face again, in an interview printed in a national magazine.

My former brother, Julian, made an international call.

"Vivian. So you're not dead after all."

I said nothing. A cold snort came through the line.

"The Matriarch's funeral is in a week. Whether you show up is your business."
