Rejection Runs Deep (The Canleigh Series, book 1: A chilling psychological family drama) by Carole Williams (uplifting novels TXT) 📕

a child I have been fascinated by my evil, stunning beautiful Aunt Delia, who went to jail for attempted murder and was rumoured to have committed actual murder.  My mother, Lady Victoria, is very scared of her sister, is appalled by my fascination with her and is terrified I will turn out the same way.  It’s true.  I do get very angry, very quickly and hate it if anyone thwarts me so does Mother have reason to worry?  I’m really not sure.   At least she isn’t worried about my other obsession with famous actresses, whom I want so very much to emulate.

I did my very best to learn about acting while at school and was extremely lucky to have discovered my drama teacher was a stupid woman and how terrifically easy it was to blackmail her into giving me the best parts in all the plays.  Then at eighteen years old, I went to Radley, the best acting school in the country and my life changed dramatically and I had to take a different path to the one I had always wanted.

Now, thanks to my actions, I am in a real predicament and am furious with myself.  I have no sparkling career, no money, and no stately home to float around in,or even a decent man to pander to my wishes, although my family have everything.  My parents own a sumptuous hotel and are loaded with income from their various businesses but I can’t get my hands on any of it until they die, which is far in the future, unless something unforeseen happens … like an accident … and then they tell me that I have to share it with my blasted foster sister, Suzanne and her brat, which is totally galling but we will see about that!  Then there is cousin Lucy … who has turned Canleigh into a thriving hotel and is rolling in dough … and she has a gorgeous man doting on her.  I’ve always been jealous of her.  She inherited Canleigh and the huge fortune that went with it at a very young age.  It’s just not fair!

So, what do I have?  My looks.  I am beautiful … everyone tells me so … and I am going to have to use what I have to get what I want … fame and fortune.  It might take me time and people might get in my way but I will get there.  I am determined to.  Just watch me!
