Lost Heiress
Katie Walker is the janitor’s adopted kid — bullied, humiliated, a nobody. Then the golden Maddox brothers show up looking for their long lost heiress sister: Katie! But the school’s queen bee steals her place. Now it’s Katie’s turn to level up, take back her crown, and make them all regret underestimating her.My hands were still raw from cleaning the locker rooms when the black limousines rolled up to Kingsley Academy. Everyone stopped talking. Even the wind held its breath. Then they stepped out—the Maddox brothers, three of them, all tailored suits and cold confidence. Cameras flashed. Girls swooned. And then the oldest one, Liam, looked straight at me.
"Katie Walker? We’ve been looking for you."
Laughter erupted behind me. "You mean *Vicky*," sneered Madison Cole, the queen bee herself, flipping her blonde hair. "Unless you’re here to see the help."
But Liam didn’t blink. "We have DNA results. You’ve been living under someone else’s name."
The courtyard went silent. My mop bucket tipped over, spilling dirty water across the marble. This was it—the moment my whole life cracked open. Do I run? Do I step forward and claim what’s mine? Or do I let them keep calling me nobody?
