The Stutter Girl Who Became a Heiress

Summary

When I was five years old, holding my mother's hand, I stepped through the wrought-iron gates of the Brown estate. I, a girl born with a severe stutter, was the newest member of a high-society dynasty.

Outsiders whispered that my mother had used dirty tricks to marry into the family. They were all just waiting for the day we got tossed out onto the streets.

The wedding day was a massive spectacle. The grand hall was overflowing with elite guests.

I, however, found myself backed into a corner of a small sitting room by a group of girls who had come just to watch the drama unfold.
