Chapter 1

"Elise? Is that really you, Elise?"

My name, half-whispered, half-gasped, hit me harder than the bucket of dirty water I was lugging. The sudden sound made me stumble, the cold, gritty liquid sloshing over my worn-out shoes. Seven years. Seven years of scrubbing floors, toilets, and the grit of other people's lives had taught me to be invisible. But here, in the sterile hallway of a high-end office building, my carefully constructed anonymity shattered.

My hands, rough and calloused, tightened around the bucket handle. My heart, a muscle I thought had forgotten how to feel, gave a violent thump against my ribs. I kept my back to the voice, pretended the slight tremor in my fingers was just from the heavy workload.

"Elise?" The voice came closer, thicker now, laced with a strange mix of disbelief and something fragile.

I didn't turn. I couldn't. Not yet. I just kept my eyes fixed on the grimy mop head, willing myself to be no one. Just a cleaner. Just a shadow.

A hand, light and tentative, reached out. It brushed my arm, and I flinched as if burned. The touch sent a jolt through me, a raw nerve exposed. I pulled away sharply, my body automatically creating distance.

"I thought... I thought you were gone." Her voice cracked. "For seven years, Elise, we thought you were dead."

The words floated in the antiseptic air, heavy and accusing. Dead. It was a word I' d lived with. A convenient fiction that had allowed me to disappear, to survive.

Finally, I turned. The fluorescent lights of the corridor seemed to amplify the stark reality of the moment. My eyes, still adjusting from staring at the polished floor, squinted. My vision swam for a second, a bright haze obscuring her face.

When it cleared, she stood there, a ghost from a past I had buried alive. Katherine Hull. Her usually sharp features were softened by a veil of shock, her perfectly made-up eyes wide and glistening. A thin, almost imperceptible tremor ran through her.

Beside her, a tall, slender boy stood silently. His eyes, dark and guarded, stared at me with an intensity that made my stomach clench. He looked familiar, yet foreign.

"Annamarie was only ten when... when you left us," Katherine said, her voice barely above a whisper, pulling the boy slightly forward. "She's eighteen now. An adult."

I looked at Annamarie. Ten. That fragile, trusting child who used to trace patterns on my hand while I read her bedtime stories. Now, he was a young man, his shoulders broader, his jawline sharper. The boy who had called me 'Mom'.

"We went to the site every year," Katherine continued, her voice rising, a raw edge of accusation now. "Every single year, Elise. For seven years. Do you know how many flowers I laid for you? How many prayers I said?" Her control wavered, and a single tear traced a path through her foundation. "Why didn't you come back? Why did you make us believe you were dead?"

I said nothing. Just watched her, my face a carefully constructed mask of indifference. I picked up my lunchbox from the utility cart. It was a cheap plastic container, filled with cold leftovers. I opened it and started eating, each bite a deliberate act, a barrier between us.

My gaze drifted down to Katherine's midsection, a slight, almost imperceptible swell beneath the expensive fabric of her dress. The curve was subtle, but unmistakable. Another life. A new beginning for her. Seven years. It was enough time for everything to change. For old lives to be erased, and new ones to begin.

Seven years. A chasm.

I finished my bland meal, the taste of betrayal far stronger than the food. Our paths were separated now, by more than just time.

Katherine, still tearful, took a step closer, her eyes scanning my uniform, the weary lines around my eyes. The scrutiny made my skin crawl. "What happened to you, Elise? Look at you. You're a cleaner." Her voice was laced with a pity that grated on my nerves. "Are you still so angry? Are you punishing us by living like this?"

I stood, the empty lunchbox a feather-light weight in my hand. I walked to the industrial trash bin, the squeak of my rubber soles the only sound in the tense silence. With a deliberate motion, I dropped the box inside.

"You have the wrong person," I said, my voice flat, devoid of any emotion. It was a practiced lie, one I had perfected over years.

Katherine's face froze, a mask of shock replacing her tears. Her jaw tightened, and her hands clenched at her sides. She looked at Annamarie, then back at me, her eyes glinting with a sudden, fierce anger.

"Even Annamarie? You'd deny your own son?" Her voice was sharp now, cutting through the silence. "He's your son, Elise!"

Annamarie, who had been silent all this time, flinched. His head dropped, and a barely audible whisper escaped his lips. "Mom?"

My fingers, hanging loosely at my sides, curled into tight fists, the nails digging into my palms. The air grew thick, heavy with unspoken words. Only the distant hum of the building's ventilation system broke the oppressive quiet.

The plane descended, and a familiar sense of accomplishment swelled in me. Three months of hotel rooms and construction sites were finally over. I' d just closed the biggest deal of my architectural career in Tokyo, and now, all I could think of was Liam. It was his birthday, and my early return was a secret, a surprise I couldn' t wait to unveil. I clutched the vintage watch for him in my carry-on, imagining his joyful face, picturing us finally back home. But the solid oak door to my sanctuary, my apartment, met me with a sharp, negative beep. Denied. I frowned. My worn fingers fumbled, I must be tired. I typed our anniversary code again, slowly, precisely. Beep. Red light. Denial. A cold unease crept up my spine. This was my home, my code. Liam wouldn' t prank me, especially since he didn' t know I was coming. Then, just as I reached for my phone, the door swung open. A heavy slam to the side of my head. Pain exploded. The world tilted. A young woman, maybe early twenties, stood in my doorway, holding one of my own art books. "Who the hell are you?" she shrieked, panicked, a delicate, handcrafted silver gingko leaf hairpin tucked into her messy blonde hair. My hairpin. I stumbled past her, into my apartment, and the world fell away. My minimalist, elegant space was gone, replaced by a nightmare of vibrant pink and fluffy textures. Cheap pop star posters covered my walls. My custom Italian leather sofa was replaced by a lumpy, glittery monstrosity. The air reeked of cheap perfume and burnt sugar. My home office was a makeup room. My blueprints, my life's work, shoved into a corner, stained and crumpled. My mother' s priceless antique lace wedding dress, wine-stained. Torn photos of Liam and me, our memories, scattered in the trash. "Get out!" Chloe shrieked, shaking my arm. "This is my home! Liam will be back any minute!" Liam. The name was a key, unlocking a torrent of horrifying possibilities. Then, her sleeve slid back, revealing a sleek, modern watch with a distinctive blue face. The men' s version of the matching couple' s watches I'd bought for Liam' s birthday, still gift-wrapped in my luggage. My eyes scanned the unrecognizable living room. My gallery wall of our life together was gone. In its place: Liam and Chloe kissing under the Eiffel Tower, on a boat, at a family barbecue with his parents. Every single picture of me was gone. I had been erased. "I hope you like what I' ve done with the place," Chloe purred, her voice brimming with proud ownership. "Liam said the old style was so cold and impersonal. He loves how warm and cozy it is now. He says it finally feels like a real home." Each word was a deliberate blow, telling me I was inadequate, replaced. She picked up a framed photo of them. "Liam was so tired of everything being so perfect and professional. He needed someone to just… take care of him. A soft place to land." The implication was clear: I, with my career and independence, was his stress. She, this cloying woman, was his "soft place." For a moment, I felt nothing but a vast, hollow emptiness.

The Pierre Hotel smelled of old money and stale ambition, but all I could taste was the copper of my own rage. I stood in the back of the ballroom, a "mute" shadow in a silk dress, watching my sister Brande play the grieving saint on stage. She wiped away a fake tear, telling the crowd I was too "unstable" to attend my own engagement party. In reality, I was watching her share a secret, intimate squeeze with my fiancé, Chase Sterling, right under the blinding spotlight. When I finally hit "execute" and projected the video of them together in a hotel suite for the entire elite crowd to see, the room went cold. But the nightmare was just beginning. Instead of apologizing, my father crushed his scotch glass and told me to fix the mess. He demanded I issue a public statement claiming I had a mental breakdown and "hallucinated" the whole thing. "If you don't corroborate the Deepfake story, I'll have you committed to a facility with barred windows," he hissed. Brande just smirked from the corner, mocking me for being a "mute waste of space" who didn't even realize my own trust fund had paid for the diamonds around her neck. I realized then that in this family, silence wasn't a disability—it was a target. They thought because I didn't speak, I didn't have a voice. They thought they could use my silence to bury the truth and save their precious stock prices. They were wrong. I didn't just leak a video; I had the keys to every secret they ever tried to hide. I walked out of that hotel and straight into the black sedan of Julian Curtis, my father’s most ruthless rival and the only man who knew what really happened the night of the blizzard in Aspen. I handed him the encrypted files that would trigger a hostile takeover of my family’s empire. As the city blurred past, I looked at the man who held my future in his hands and typed one final message on my phone. "I'm not here to be saved. I'm here to be the knife."

"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.
