Twenty-four-year-old Rain Hart has fought to be seen all her life. Getting admitted into the prestigious Katherine Knight Fashion Academy was a sign to her that things were finally falling into place in her life... until she encountered Adrian Knight, the billionaire CEO. Adrian is everything Rain should avoid: married, connected to the Academy. But the strong attraction between them is dangerous and irresistible. The Academy becomes a secret world of its own, buried deep in burning desire, stolen moments, whispered confessions, and consequences none of them can stand. This new, shiny world exposes Rain to both fame and danger. She is consumed by jealous rivals, public scandals, and betrayals that cut far deeper than professional competition. In the midst of the unending chaos, the Knight family cracks under deadly secrets. Rain discovers that in a world built on power and perfection, one misstep can turn passion into catastrophe.

THE FASHION OF SIN Chapter 1 PROLOGUE – A NIGHT OF BLISS

PROLOGUE – A NIGHT OF BLISS

If I were ever told that one crazy night could destroy everything I had built, I would have laughed out loud and poured myself another drink.

But that is the thing about chaos. It never knocks before coming in. It thrives on surprises.

That night, the city pulsed like it had heartbeats. I have never been in a place that crowded before. The night was thick with intentions. The stars glistered in the sky. I, Rain Hart, fresh off an overcrowded bus from an unknown town, a town that I had always wondered if it was even on the map. I stood at the edge of my new life. I made it. I was finally here, the great city of lights, fashion, and dreams that girls like me, and from where I was coming from, could not afford.

Tomorrow, my classes will begin at the globally recognized fashion school, owned by Katherine Knight. The Katherine Knight. The goddess of Haute couture. I had spent years stitching pieces of fabric together, day and night, watching this woman online, literally worshiping her and vowing that I would meet her. Now, it was happening.

But first, I wanted to celebrate my arrival and drink to a new chapter. It felt like the first thing to do. Like an opening ritual.

The bar smelled like whiskey, cigarette smoke, and bad choices. It was very loud and wild; the type of place where no one cared who you were or questioned you, only how long you could keep up. The music hammered through my chest as if trying to adjust my heartbeat. I didn't plan to drink much, but the atmosphere was electrifying and sucked me in. Someone handed me liquor, another handed me a dare, and before I knew it, I was dancing on top of a table.

Screaming.

Laughing.

Free.

The crowd applauded and cheered excitedly like I was their queen. My hair flew around, part of it covering my face, and the hem of my short red dress glittered under the neon lights. I felt like I was walking on clouds, and for the first time in my life, I wasn't the broke girl chasing dreams. I was living the dream.

And that was when I saw him.

He was drinking at the bar, black shirt buttoned halfway, expensive accessories, eyes like sin; calm, calculative, powerful, and watching me with the kind of concentration that made my skin tingle. Most men stared like they desired to own you. He looked at me like he already did.

I don't remember who made the first move, but I remember being pressed against him in the bathroom, laughter mixed with unclear whispers and moans. There was this dangerous aura around him, not just the way he looked, but that quiet confidence that said he was used to getting anything he wanted. And that night, of course, he wanted me. Every part of him said so clearly.

Everything after that was blurry, even the sound of my own pulse. We barely talked, no names, no stories. Just two strangers pretending the outside world didn't exist. Just living the moment in each other's arms.

When I woke up, the room was bathed in the early morning sun and the faint sound of traffic downstairs. My head ached badly, my lipstick was smudged, and my dress was hanging on an expensive chair that definitely wasn't mine. It took me a while to remember where I was.

He was still sleeping, partially covered with the white sheets, handsome, peaceful. I stood there for a while, studying his face. He did not look like the type of man I would ever meet in my life, let alone spend a night with. Everything about him was flashy but radiating secrets.

For a moment, I thought about waking him to say "thank you" or "goodbye." But something inside me quietly said that it was better this way. No awkward conversations. No reality check. No exchange of information. Just a random night that would vanish like smoke.

So I wore my gown, picked up my bag and heels, tiptoed across the marble floor, very careful not to wake him. I mistakenly kicked an empty bottle, and it rolled noisily on the floor until it was stopped by his clothes. I looked back, saw him turn in his sleep, and I slipped out before he opened his eyes, shutting the door as quietly as I could.

The long hall was littered with more doors than I could count and smelled like coffee and money. I took a deep breath, squared my shoulders, and whispered my favorite quote: Eyes on the goal. No distractions. Just dreams.

By the time I entered the street, the city had already enveloped last night. No trace of the night that welcomed me to New York. It was so bright that I squinted while trying to take it all in at once. Cars honked loudly, and people hurried past me, brushing my shoulders.

"Is everyone in New York in a rush?" I asked myself, and I melted into the crowd like nothing had happened. Just another hungover girl with messy hair, misplaced mascara, and a plan to change her life.

But as I caught my reflection in a coffee shop window, a girl stared back, a girl I didn't recognize. There was something new in her eyes, a spark, a danger, a secret.

I smiled at her.

"Welcome," I whispered to her, "to a fresh start."

If only I knew that life had a different agenda for me. If only I knew that the man I had left asleep in that hotel room wasn't finished with me yet. If only I knew that one night of freedom would become the most expensive mistake of my life.

Because the moment I walked through the gates of the fashion academy that morning, destiny, in its cruel, shiny heels, was already there waiting.

And it was wearing Katherine Knight's smile.

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
