The Twenty Years I Lost

Summary

The summer Asher Vance got engaged to the real heiress, I threw myself into the river.

Back then, the heiress and I were locked in a war with no rules. It ended with my little dog, my only companion, beaten to death. My classmates called me a thief who had stolen another’s nest. I was imprisoned in my own home, forced to become her ghostwriter…

Even Asher, the boy next door, knelt and caressed my face, his voice a low murmur.

“Why can’t you just learn to behave?” he’d said. “Just be obedient in the Thorne family, and your future will be limitless.”
