"I'm just as good as you are, Henry!" Minnie yells at her brother. "Let me go with you!"

"Stop acting like our Mother, Minda," Henry commands and shoved her aside. Minnie slapped his back with her handkerchief.

"Don't you walk away from me!" Minnie screamed. "This isn't you, Henry! Please don't do this." Minnie folded her hands together and allowed the tears to flow down her face. Henry glared at her.

"You're a stain on our family name," he spat. "Mother should have born a son instead of you!"

The Lady Who Sinned

43 parts Complete Mature

Banished for five years, Lady Belinda Carrington returns to Willowfair, claiming to know things one would find impossible to believe. With her tainted reputation, can Belinda make Town Guard McKenzie Haverston help her in her pursuit of the truth? *** After her banishment five years ago, Belinda Carrington returns with secrets and tales too impossible to believe. But something in her lies makes McKenzie Haverston desperate for the truth... When Belinda shows up in McKenzie's home asking for protection in return for important information on a case he's working on, he rejects her. But when he learns where she had been banished after her great scandal five years ago, he finds himself striking a deal with the woman-he protects her, she gives him answers. The question now is: how true is her tale? She was once considered the fairest of them all, but one scandal later, she has become the most reviled. And she is also being hunted. If Belinda wants to stay alive, she has to start trusting McKenzie Haverston, a task she finds to be surprisingly easy to do. However, as the truth of the past begins to resurface, and the secrets of her scandal is revealed, Belinda is confronted by her own demons, causing her to doubt her own reality.
