His Substitute, My Last Goodbye

Prologue

Everyone said I had schemed relentlessly to drive my sister away.

That I shamelessly kept Liam Sterling all to myself for three years.

Everyone cursed me, calling me a slut and a scheming bitch.

Liam knew all of it, but he never bothered to defend me. Not once.

He hated me, humiliated me, and treated me as nothing more than a stand-in for Elena Vance.

And so, I bore the brunt of all the blame and scorn alone for three whole years.

Until a diagnosis of terminal gastric cancer crashed into my life.

And in my womb, I was carrying his child.
