My Billionaire Family Forced Me To Split Expenses 50 50, So I Erased Them From My Life

Riley has spent twenty-two years scraping by as an orphan, so when her biological family finds her and welcomes her into the wealthy Hastings household, she dares to hope for warmth. Instead, her mother greets her with a spreadsheet and a demand: as an adult, Riley must pay an exact third of every household expense. Her father calls it fair, but their adopted daughter Gemma owes nothing.

Riley has a job that hasn't started and barely three thousand dollars to her name. When she tries to walk away, her mother threatens to sabotage her new career, holding the legal name-change decree that links her old identity, Chloe Vance, to her new one, Riley Hastings. Trapped, Riley pays her first invoice of six hundred seventy-five dollars, down to the exact dollar.

Under the Hastings roof, every bill comes with a price, and Riley must decide how much of herself she is willing to surrender.
