Accused Heiress: A Public Betrayal Novel Cover

Accused Heiress: A Public Betrayal

My parents sat across from me on a live TV court show, their faces a mask of practiced sorrow for the cameras. They publicly condemned me as a thief and a heartless daughter, accusing me of abandoning them after my father's "accident" and demanding my entire inheritance. The scrolling comments behind them called me a "MONSTER." My mother cried fake tears while my cousin, Karsyn, offered her a comforting hand, her eyes glinting with triumph. They painted a picture of a family on the brink of ruin, all because of my supposed selfishness. They looked at me as if I were something rotten, and a familiar ache filled my chest. Why did my own family hate me so much? But this was a show designed to break me. When the host asked for my plea, I met the camera's gaze. "Not guilty," I stated clearly. "And I request the court use the memory retrieval device."

Chapter 3

The memory fast-forwarded to our arrival at the hospital. Don and Fronie rushed in. Fronie immediately enveloped Karsyn in a hug. Don, after a cursory glance at my bandaged arm, turned his full attention to Karsyn, his voice dripping with sympathy for the orphaned child.

Then, a new scene. Don, a few days later, in hushed conversation with a lawyer. He was beaming, a wide, almost manic grin on his face. "Of course, we'll take her in!" he announced. "She's family, after all!"

But the image shifted again, and the family dynamic twisted. Karsyn was instantly elevated. I was moved to a smaller, colder room in the attic. My new clothes were hand-me-downs.

One night, years later, I overheard them. "Are you sure this is all safe?" Fronie whispered. "All that money... are we really in control?"

"Relax, Fronie," Don replied, a greedy edge to his voice. "It's all set up. Karsyn's trust fund. Millions. We're her guardians. We just have to make sure she's happy until she's eighteen, and then..."

"But what about Elodie?" Fronie asked.

Don scoffed. "Elodie? She's the goose that lays the golden eggs, Fronie. A means to an end. Keep Karsyn happy, keep Karsyn on our side, and we'll be set for life. Elodie's just... collateral damage."

I didn't fully understand the phrase "golden goose" then, but the bitter taste of it clung to me. From that day on, I was no longer their daughter. I was a problem.
