Chapter 1 Introduction

"jane!!" My dad's voice calls from the hallway. I open my eyes while yawning so loud. I picked my phone from the little table beside my tiny bed to check the time, the light from the phone made my eyes close immediately. In no time my eyes adapt to the light and it is just 6am. I groaned.

"Jane hurry up, you don't want to be late" he yells

"I'm awake already" i groaned.

Hi, I'm Jane and my life it's kinda complicated. I'm to resume to California state university today and my dad is overwhelmed with excitement about it. He wants me to be a doctor but that's like a really boring job to me. Before I lost my mum, she used to teach me some dance moves and I grew to be a natural that I am right now. My dad hates it, he hates dancers. He's the religious kind of man so he calls it a waste of time.

Even though I'm not interested in this "course" if mine I still have to be prepared.

"Good morning Dad" I say as I approach the dining room. I can already smell the aroma of roast chicken and my tummy wants to just consume everything at this point.

"Good morning my jewel" He says as he kissed my forehead

"I can't believe you're grown already, it's all like a dream and today you'll be miles away from me" he's getting emotional now.

"You'll be fine dad" he's trying to hide his tears now.

My dad gets emotional most times but he's as tough as a rock and as stubborn as a goat.

" I made roast chicken" he says as he brings out the yummy little chicken from the oven

"Be careful it's still ho.." he raises his head to see me taking a big bite out of the meal already. He chuckled.

"I'll miss you" he says while smiling

"I'll miss you too Dad".

After breakfast I went to my room to take my bath since that would be the only thing I'll be doing. I arranged my outfits already and I don't feel a little bit nervous.

As soon as the hot water touches my skin my body relaxed under the shower as I run my fingers in my hair and shaved my arm pit. I might as well set a reminder on my phone to remind me to buy some wax.

I tie the towel around my waist and walk out of the bathroom, I really don't have much time left. I hurrily dry my air,wear my clothe, an off shoulder top and a high waisted blue jean. I put on my lucky bracelet, the one my mother gave to me.

"Jane!!" Dad yells again

"I'm coming" I yell back

"Take care dear and are you sure you don't need me to escort you?"

"That won't be necessary dad and I don't want to stress you" I say.

He helps me to put my luggages in the booth of my car and kisses me on my forehead.

"Jane?"

"Yeah?"

"Focus" he says

I enter my car and starts to drive, I can still see my dad watching my car. Well... he'll be fine.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.
