Sister, you are no longer important

It had been ten years since I became a replacement bride, and then, my sister suddenly came back.

My whole family stared at her in stunned silence.

She yawned, casually remarking:

“Thirteen countries, I’m absolutely exhausted from all that traveling.”

“And where’s Leo? He must be in elementary school by now. Why isn’t he here to greet his real mom?”

Leo was my sister Stella’s son.

Ten years ago, Stella gave birth, then faked her death on her wedding day, abandoning her son and her fiancé.

The Sterling family was old money, part of the city’s elite.
