Chapter 2Reclaimed by My Family, Spoiled by All

The lobby fell silent. I asked, confused, “Do I know you?”

The flashy woman sounded like she was in a daze. “Rick… you know this… this hick?”

Rick looked practically giddy. “Oh, you probably don’t recognize me! Let me introduce myself – I’m Rick Johnson, Alex Vance’s manager. You must be here to see your brother, right?”

His manager?

The woman shrieked like her tail had been stepped on. “Rick, what are you saying? Alex Vance is this little country bumpkin’s brother?”

Rick finally turned his attention back to her, his expression suddenly icy. “Watch your mouth. Who are you calling a country bumpkin?”

Her face flushed bright red, and she clammed up.

Rick delivered the final blow. “You don’t need to stick around me anymore. Pack your things, go to HR, and collect your final paycheck. This company has no place for someone who insults the boss’s sister.”

Rick drove me to a stunning, sprawling mansion. These mansions in the city definitely dwarfed the houses back in my small town.

A housekeeper led me inside. As soon as I stepped into the grand foyer, a ridiculously good-looking guy jumped up from the couch. He rushed over, his eyes bright. “Are you Hannah?”

Hannah Harrison. That’s my name.

I nodded, and he pulled me into a hug. “Hannah, I’m so sorry. Dad and I… we couldn’t find you and Mom all these years. We’re so sorry.”

Thinking about Mom’s passing brought tears to my eyes again.

He noticed my red eyes and gently wiped a tear from my cheek, his voice soft. “Don’t cry. Your big brother’s here now. I’ll take good care of you, I promise.”

He comforted me for a little longer, then led me upstairs to show me my bedroom. It was like something out of a fairy tale – a lavish princess suite, even more beautiful than the ones you see in movies about rich heiresses.

Alex explained, “Dad’s still away on a business trip. And I haven’t told your other brothers—Ethan, Mason, and Noah—yet. Didn’t want to overwhelm you. You’ll meet them all in a few days.”
