Up in Smoke Chapter 1 Prologue

Prologue

Colton was a firefighter the youngest one at the station at only 21 so he felt he had a lot to prove. He focused on his career and worked a lot of hours. It didn't leave much time for romance. He would meet women, but they only wanted him because he was a firefighter. They were mostly gold diggers and heart breakers, and he was over all of that non-sense.

He was tired of women only wanting him because of his looks and career. He didn't have much time to go places and meet women, so he decided to go on a dating site and find love that way. He wasn't going to post his picture so maybe he could find someone he truly connected with.

He was just sick of the usual type he attracted. He wanted someone he could talk to. A woman that made even the worst of days better. Someone that won't want to leave him because he has to leave her for work. He just really wanted to find love. Yes, he was young, but he was more than ready to settle down with the right woman.

Joslyn was 19 and just finished training to become a paramedic. She wanted to save people. To make a difference in the world. She has been so focused on her schooling and taking care of her sick sister before she passed away that she never had time for romance.

She never went on dates or even had a boyfriend. She didn't know how to go about meeting guys and was pretty shy. Joslyn was a plus-size girl and felt men wouldn't want her because of her size. So, she joined a dating site but didn't put up her picture for now.

Joslyn starts talking to this guy with only an initial for his name C. They have been talking for a month and he's pushing for them to meet. She's scared because she's not the most confident person and she's new at this. She likes how they are with each other, but fears meeting will only ruin it.

Will C want her when he sees her for the first time? Can she get over her insecurities and let love into her heart? Will Colton finally find a woman that just wants him for him? Can true love Conquer all?

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.
