The Heiress Returns: From Outcast to Beloved
27 parts Ongoing MatureIn her past life, Autumn James devoted herself tirelessly to her seniors and her so-called "brother," always putting their needs above her own.
Little junior had a stomach problem? She brought him breakfast every day.
Senior short on cash? She became his tutor just to get money into his hands.
Her proud older brother? She handed over her father's membership cards and allowances without a second thought.
But despite all her efforts... thanks to Anna Hawthorne' schemes, Autumn ended up betrayed and murdered.
Now, reborn, Autumn has a new outlook.
Stomach problems? Not her problem anymore.
Short on money? Too bad.
Prideful brother? Public humiliation feels just right.
Autumn thought reclaiming her life would be smooth sailing.
But who would have guessed... her previously background-less fiancé suddenly appears?
Everyone wants her to give him to Anna Hawthorne.
Autumn just smirks-and sets her sights on the mysterious, stoic, impossibly handsome tutor who has captured her heart.
When the day comes that she heads home with him, she finds her angry fiancé-now calling her "little aunt" in frustration-blocking her way.
Before she can escape, he pulls her close, pressing her against the wall with a possessive intensity:
"Where do you think you're going, darling?"
