The Curse Of The Vanderbilt Name

“I'm Willow Hayes, a girl from the Appalachians, chosen by the wealthy Vanderbilt family for my unique "life blessing." They wanted me to marry their dying son, Ethan, hoping I could save him and secure their lineage. I bore him twins-a boy and a girl. Ethan miraculously began to heal. But then, his supposed first love, Clara Beaumont, fed him vicious lies, claiming I'd ruined her life. Consumed by vengeance, Ethan brutally ripped my newborns from me right in the delivery room, before I even heard their first cries. He sneered my "blessing" was a curse, then abandoned me to bleed to death, faking a tragic childbirth accident. My entire Appalachian community was slandered, their homes and pride lost, all because of his baseless rage. How could the man I saved, the future father of my children, turn into such a monster based solely on a jealous woman's lies? How could a family that sought my gift allow such horrific cruelty to befall me and my people? The searing injustice of having my babies torn from me, combined with my agonizing death, burned a hole in my soul. But now, I'm back. Reborn. The Vanderbilts are knocking again, their matriarch's sharp eyes desperate for my "blessing" to save Ethan. They think they can use me as a pawn a second time, but they have no idea what's coming. This time, I'm not here for their salvation; I'm here for a twisted justice only I can deliver, one that will make them wish I had never returned.”
