The Disowned Heiress
When they finally released each other, Julia lowered her gaze, her voice quiet but firm.
“No, Sheldon,” she said softly. “You don’t owe me anything. I owe you and Mum and Dad an apology. I shouldn’t have gone back to the Reynolds. I should’ve known better.”
Sheldon looked at her, his eyes full of sadness and guilt. “Julia…”
But she didn’t let him continue. She shook her head and smiled faintly. “I left the people who truly loved me, thinking blood meant loyalty. But I was wrong.”
