Chapter 1
“Larissa Judson, it’s over between us. I’ve just discovered I’m the young master of the Dillon family—one of Regal City’s most prestigious clans. A village girl who peddles remedies is simply not worthy of my world.”
Larissa’s heart sank as she listened to the voice on the other end of the line. Torrin Turner—or rather Torrin Dillon, as he now insisted she call him—had just dropped a bombshell that shattered everything. She had been about to share her own secret: that she was the long-lost daughter of a powerful family. But before she could speak, he had already dismissed her.
What did he mean by “a village girl who sells remedies”? Not in his league? The words stung deeply.
Her remedies were no ordinary concoctions. They were prized treasures, sought after by wealthy families all across Regal City. They had been showcased at the city’s grandest auction houses more times than she could count. Surely, that was worth something.
And yet, here he was, having the nerve to say she wasn’t good enough for him.
“Given my newfound status,” Torrin continued coldly, “I’m expected to marry an heiress from a family of equal standing. But since we’ve been together for two months, I’ll be generous. You can stay with me until I’m officially engaged. Even after the wedding, I might keep you on the side…”
Larissa’s blood boiled. “You idiot! Fine, we’re done. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!”
With that, she slammed down the phone.
Across from her, a handsome man who had been silently waiting for her reaction raised a curious eyebrow. “So, this is how it ends? The long-lost heiress of the Judson family just got dumped?”
Larissa looked up, managing a radiant smile despite the turmoil inside her. “Funny you mention that. He claims to be the young master of some prominent family here in Regal City, too. Said I was beneath him.” She paused, her expression turning skeptical. “Are you absolutely sure this whole ‘long-lost heir’ story isn’t some elaborate con?”
The man was momentarily taken aback but soon chuckled softly. “No, Larissa. You really are the true heiress of the Judson family.”
“Oh,” she said, lowering the woven basket she’d been carrying on her back. She settled onto a nearby stool and began sorting through the fresh herbs she had just gathered. The simple, humble cottage around them was bare but cozy, filled with the scent of earth and plants.
“So, who exactly are you? And why are you here instead of my birth parents?” Her voice was steady but laced with curiosity.
The man’s gaze swept the modest walls before settling on her. “Unless something unexpected happens, I will soon be your fiancé. My name is Haskell Palmer, eldest son of the Palmer family.”
Larissa nearly toppled off her stool in shock. “Fiancé? What do you mean?”
“That’s correct,” Haskell replied, a wry smile crossing his face as he gestured toward his legs, which were encased and immobile. “Though, as you can see, I’m currently disabled. This happened just last month.”
She nodded slowly, her eyes widening as realization dawned. “Wait… don’t tell me. You’re here to tell me I’m the Judson heiress, that my birth parents want me back, and that they expect me to marry you.”
Haskell gave a small, admiring nod. “You’ve figured it out.”
Larissa’s gaze sharpened, her mind racing.
“Because of my legs,” Haskell continued quietly, “I’m about to be abandoned, much like you were.”
The pieces clicked into place for Larissa. “So the original engagement was with the fake Judson heiress, but now that you’re disabled, she’s backing out?”
“Exactly,” Haskell confirmed.
Larissa wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry at the cruel twist of fate. “You don’t sound too broken up about it.”
“You were just dumped by your boyfriend,” Haskell pointed out, “and you don’t seem heartbroken either.”
“He was a jerk. I’m better off without him,” she said, shrugging dismissively.
Haskell’s respect for her grew visibly. “You’re incredibly strong.”
Larissa snorted softly. “Of course. Wasting time and energy on someone who doesn’t deserve it is simply foolish.”
She thought back to how she had started dating Torrin Dillon. He had chased her relentlessly for two years after she saved his life. He had seemed devoted, acting as if he would marry no one else. She wasn’t convinced he was a bad person, and having a man around helped with her herb garden and kept other suitors at bay. So, she had finally agreed. Who could have guessed that the moment he struck it rich, his true colors would show?
“Exactly my thoughts,” Haskell said with a knowing smile. “She’s shallow. I’m better off not marrying her.”
He and Honora Judson had no real feelings for each other—their engagement had been nothing more than a business deal arranged by his grandfather.
