Chapter 2 The sound of that vase exploding and my voice echoing through the ballroom . Pure silence for like two seconds . Then everyone starts cracking up . " Damn , this girl's really lost it . First she's pretending to be related to the richest woman in America , now she thinks she owns the company . " " Right ? Even if she WAS family , girls don't inherit billion - dollar empires . The richest woman's got two grandsons right there . " I look at these smug assholes and shoot back . " Cade , you absolutely sure you and Jaxon have any inheritance rights ? " Something flickers in Jaxon's eyes for just a second , but he recovers quick , tugging Cade's sleeve . " Today's supposed to be a celebration , man . All the family's coming . Maybe we should just- " Seeing Jaxon's reaction ? I know he's remembering the truth and starting to sweat . See , here's what really happened : My grandmother - yeah , America's richest woman - she only had one kid . My mom . After mom died , guess who became the sole granddaughter ? That's right , ME . These two " brothers " of mine ? They're actually my dad's dead brother's kids . Orphans . When their parents kicked the bucket , my dad felt bad and took them in rather than let his nephews end up in foster care . So they've got ZERO blood connection to my mom and grandmother . Zero claim to Apex Industries . But Cade doesn't give a damn about what I just said . Just frowns at Jaxon . " She put her hands on Tiffany ! You seriously gonna let that slide ? " " Brielle , your mental shit's getting worse . Maybe we should have Patterson drive you straight to the psych ward . " Those words - psych ward - hit me like a freight train of pure rage . All those memories from my past life came flooding back - being trapped in that hellhole while Tiffany played doctor with my body parts . Yeah , that's right . In my first life , both these " loving brothers " helped their precious Tiffany live out her sick fantasies . Tiffany was pre - med , always obsessed with seeing the difference between living and dead tissue . My wonderful brothers made her dreams come true - by letting her dissect me while I was still breathing . I'd grown up with these guys . Same house for eighteen years . But they handed me over to be tortured just to make their little psycho girlfriend happy . Now I get it . To these brothers , family's just a word . Their sick obsession is all that matters . But here's what I'm curious about - when love goes up against money and power , which one wins ? I smile cold as ice . 20:46 They Stole My Name to Their Fake Heiress . My Revenge Plan ? Simple : Bankrupt Them All ! 12.594 Chapter 2 " One last time . Who's Apex Industries ' real heiress ? " Before either brother can open their mouth , some business partner's spoiled daughter - Madison Pierce - comes charging over and slaps me " How DARE you cause drama at Apex Industries ! Know your place , you little charity case ! " I know Madison's deal . She's been thirsting after Cade forever , dreaming about becoming the future CEO's trophy wife . Ever since she heard Tiffany was supposedly the richest woman's granddaughter and Apex's heiress , she's been kissing Tiffany's ass 24/7 , hoping to score points as the perfect future sister in law . Poor little rich girl's backing the wrong horse . Tiffany's not Apex's heiress - she's Madison's competition for Cade's dick . I'm not taking a hit from this bitch . I drive my heel straight into her stomach . " Who the hell do you think you are ? Some nobody CEO's daughter thinks she can hit ME ? I could destroy your whole family with one phone call . " Madison doubles over , clutching her gut in shock . " You actually HIT me ! My parents have never even raised their voices at me ! " " You're so dead ! " Tiffany grabs Madison's hand , putting on her guilt act . " Madison , please don't fight with her . She's not ... well . Let me apologize for her . " I look at this fake bitch with pure disgust . " YOU'RE the one with brain damage , playing dress - up at a company event this important . " Then I turn to my foster brothers , pointing at the exit . " Since you boys love playing house with your sugar baby so much , take your little whore and GET OUT of MY building ! " Chapter 3
