The Substitute Bride's Revenge
CompletedI am the second daughter of the Gray family, Zoe Gray. My sister Pamela Gray is the adored eldest daughter of the Gray household.
Her mother is my stepmother, who seduced my father to improve her status, bringing her daughter into our family when she married him, and ultimately driving my mother to her death.
The Hawkins Family specifically requested to marry my sister, but the groom was the Hawkins family's only heir—a man who had been bedridden for ten years, practically a living corpse.
My sister, clinging to her true love, tearfully begged me to marry in her place. I signed the agreement and became my sister's substitute.
Last night, I overheard her on the phone with her beloved, saying: "Once my foolish sister is tormented to death by the Hawkins Family, won't their vast fortune become ours?"
What she doesn't know is that the Hawkins Family wasn't looking for the Gray family's eldest daughter at all. They were searching for the girl who, ten years ago, carried the Hawkins' only grandson out of a fire, left with a hideous scar across her back.
That girl was me.
