The Unwanted Heiress: Mr. Sterling's Obsession

“After my grandmother passed away, the wealthy Beaumont family finally tracked me down to my rundown trailer park. They didn't come to welcome me home. My cousins threw a check in my face, demanding my signature to liquidate a billion-dollar offshore trust before mocking my cheap clothes. But what they didn't know was the secret my grandmother left behind. Inside a hidden rosewood box, I found the brutal truth. My mother didn't die in a simple car crash. She was murdered, and my own father's family was behind it. When I tried to dig into the dark web to find the killer, a massive corporate counter-hack wiped the trail clean. Before I could even leave town, my aunt sent four armed thugs to ambush my bus. They thought I was just a desperate, helpless orphan who would quietly disappear. I didn't understand why my own blood relatives wanted us dead so badly. What exactly was my mother hiding that made the Beaumonts willing to shatter her skull and hunt me down like an animal? I broke the hitmen's bones, wiped the blood from my hands, and boarded the flight to New York. It is time to make the Beaumont family pay in blood. And the ruthless billionaire sitting next to me-who has no idea I am the legendary underground surgeon he is desperately searching for-will be my perfect weapon.”
