She's just a teenager who wants to have a normal life but it looks like she herself is not normal. She thought life would be 'okay' even though she had powers but living at where she is, she knew she did not fit in with the world she is in. Her life is at its worst not until a guy comes into her life and this guy is not like the others; he's coldhearted. Will she ever find the 'normal' life she is looking for when she meets this guy or will he make her life the worst? Will she ever find a place where she really belong?

Chapter 1 Prologue

First of all, I am not a normal person. I am very much different from everyone else. I have a secret that you won't believe. My parents knew nothing about it but they abused me.

At a young age, they let me work every day that an ordinary child could not afford to do like for example, lifting several dams of water all day, do a mountain load of laundry only using my bare hands, to clean a 2-storey house and make sure that every corner of it is spic and span and many other heavy house works.

They used to wonder why I could finish my work right away because I already told you, they didn't know about this secret.

Of course, there are also times when I don't finish my work and because the work is a heavy one, the punishment is also heavy so you will never see me without bruises on any parts of my body.

The reason why they do this to me... I'm adopted. At first I didn't really know about it but since I found out, they abused me even more.

I'm just really asking myself, if they are going to abuse me like this, why did they take me in the first place? Just to have fun doing it? Or is it just in their blood to torture people? Why don't they just kill me?

...but everything turned upside down.

One day, I ran out of patience so I vented all my anger and hatred towards them. I couldn't control myself so I ended up killing them. I just went back to reality when I saw their lifeless bodies on the floor. Full of fear, I stared at my hands full of blood. I didn't know I could do this. Fortunately, no one saw what happened because it happened inside the house but I was so scared that I ran away from the house to the forest. There I built my own house and lived by myself.

We know it's very dangerous here but I'm happy. No one will know about this power and I will not hurt anyone else.

What is the use of this power in the world I live in anyways? Do I really belong here?

Is this MY NATION?

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.
