Let me just ask you something." "Okay, ask away." "The bet, what else did you bet on?" "Well, we bet on your boob size, your favorite position while having sex..." while she said it, I was actually getting very angry. "You know what, I don't want to hear it. Please go back to your seat. I don't want to talk to you right now." "But you asked me, I just--" "Please, I said you should go back to your seat before I do something I would regret."

Chapter 1 No.1

Beginning

We grew up in a household that was never peaceful or safe. They called it 'The Compound.' It was a very big house and held a lot of secrets. Nobody knows what goes on there except for the people working there.

When I mean by we, I am talking about I, my sister, and my mother. Well, where should I begin? I guess from the beginning then. Well, It all started when my mother's parents sold her off to this vicious monster who you would come to know as 'our father.' They were never in love with each other, my mother was never into men she was and still is a lesbian, but her parent was homophobic and hated what their daughter was, so instead of supporting their child, they sold her off to one of the worst men ever known in that town, Mr. Rogers.

Mr. Rogers is a very rich man but also rude to people; he treats them like dirt, people go to him for help, he helps, but when he comes back to get what he wants, he makes sure he destroys your life as well. This was the situation my mother had found herself in. Her parents had gone to Mr. Rogers to borrow money but never got to pay him back, but since they knew that he had eyes for their daughter, they used this opportunity to send their daughter away, saying it was better to be sold to Mr. Rogers rather than being what she was.

My mother tried to escape from him, but she could not because he had locked her up in his 'special room,' which was what he called it. Where she spent every night crying and praying for someone to come rescue her, but no one did. She was only visited by the maid, and the sister of Mr. Rogers, who treated her differently, made her feel special.

Mr. Rogers came to her room that night. He was staring at her. So she concluded that he wanted to sleep with her. That night he went to her room, he caressed her skin and tried kissing her, she woke up and started to scream but no one was home to help her, Amelia again had left immediately after dinner to see her friend who just gave birth and the rest of the maids would not dare get between what was going on. She tried to push him away, but he was stronger than her. He tried taking off his clothes. She used this opportunity to reach for the vase and hit him on his head while he was trying to take down his cloth; this made him lose consciousness. She ran away from the room, trying to escape by opening the door and seeing Amelia there. She ran to her and hugged Amelia tight; she was speechless.

Amelia knew this was going to happen sooner or later. It was not the first time her brother had tried to rape someone and succeeded in doing it; he doesn't care how old they were. He had always had a thing for young girls, even though he was in his early forties. He wanted young blood that was from the age of fifteen, he chased after them, and if they did not give him what he wanted, he took it by force. Who was there to stop him? No one, the last person that did, where was he now? DEAD. Yes, they ended up dead when they tried to build a case on him; even the police were scared of him, Amelia as well. That was how vicious Mr. Rogers is.

I know he has noticed the way I looked at Luna. If only he would let me be with her, no, he won't. When he hasn't gotten what he wanted, he was going to ruin her life, and I won't be here to help her; he had sent for me yesterday agreeing to send me to the university after two years of begging him to let me further my education he had always said: "education was not for girls you belong in the kitchen," that was always his reply. He hated me since I was a product of a one-night stand his father had with my mother, who was a prostitute. She died after giving birth to me. My father had no choice but to bring me home to his family. His mother was accepting, she loved me like I was her daughter, and Henry was jealous of their affection towards me, but they were both dead now, dead in a car accident. He got all the property, I guess; I wasn't given anything. I am much younger; I am only twenty while he was like forty, I think.

I know it's because of Luna. That's why he wants me to leave the house. And I have no choice but to leave, even if it means leaving the love of my life behind. I held her tight, and she stopped crying. She looked at me and said, "promise me, Amelia, that you will take me away from him when you're done with school."

"I promise amour I will;" we sealed it with a kiss. Gosh, I love her so much; we have been keeping it a secret.

Slap. "Where the hell is your mother? Answer me, girl. I am your father."

"You were never a father to us. We want our mother."

"You worthless child!" He slapped me. "I am your father! What I say goes."

"Do not touch my sister, you monster." She tried hitting him, but she knew she was not strong enough.

"Enough of this nonsense, you want your mother? Fine, go, get out, leave my house, and be with that whore you call your mother."

"She's not a whore, we'll leave, and you will never see us again."

"Fine, I don't want to see your fucking worthless face," he said, slurring, then left. We packed our stuff and went to look for our mother.

It's been three days now, and we can't find her, we have searched everywhere we know but still can't find her, people are starting to notice us like we are helpless little orphans who shouldn't be on the street at this age, we were not even up to fourteen yet, and we were already on the street begging for food while searching for our mother she was all we needed and wanted. This life is just so hard. I hope we find her soon.

I sat on the cold tile floor of our Upper East Side penthouse, staring at the two pink lines until my vision blurred. After ten years of loving Julian Sterling and three years of a hollow marriage, I finally had the one thing that could bridge the distance between us. I was pregnant. But Julian didn't come home with flowers for our anniversary. He tossed a thick manila envelope onto the marble coffee table with a heavy thud. Fiona, the woman he'd truly loved for years, was back in New York, and he told me our "business deal" was officially over. "Sign it," He said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He looked at me with the cold detachment of a man selling a piece of unwanted furniture. When I hesitated, he told me to add a zero to the alimony if the money wasn't enough. I realized in that moment that if he knew about the baby, he wouldn't love me; he would simply take my child and give it to Fiona to raise. I shoved the pregnancy test into my pocket, signed the papers with a shaking hand, and lied through my teeth. When my morning sickness hit, I slumped to the floor to hide the truth. "It's just cramps," I gasped, watching him recoil as if I were contagious. To make him stay away, I invented a man named Jack-a fake boyfriend who supposedly gave me the kindness Julian never could. Suddenly, the man who wanted me gone became a monster of possessiveness. He threatened to "bury" a man who didn't exist while leaving me humiliated at his family's dinner to rush to Fiona's side. I was so broken that I even ate a cake I was deathly allergic to, then had to refuse life-saving steroids at the hospital because they would harm the fetus. Julian thinks he's stalling the divorce for two months to protect the family's reputation for his father's Jubilee. He thinks he's keeping his "property" on a short leash until the press dies down. He has no idea I'm using those sixty days to build a fortress for my child. By the time he realizes the truth, I'll be gone, and the Sterling heir will be far beyond his reach.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him-my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit-watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London-an exile disguised as a severance package-I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.
