Chapter 1 PROLOGUE

"Where are you going, Mom?" a young Roxy asked, with tears in her eyes. "That bad man killed Dad. Will he kill us, too?"

Melissa cleaned the tears away from her daughter's face. "You'll be fine, honey. Just stay in here and I'll come to get you. Don't come out until I come to get you. Do you understand, Roxy?" She asked, her tears flowing freely.

Roxy nodded. "Yes. I promise to stay here. I won't even make a sound. Just come back safely. Do you promise?"

Melinda chuckled. "Of course, cupcake. I'll come back to you. I'll always come back for you."

She gave her daughter one last smile before closing the trapdoor and setting the carpet over it. Even as she left, she knew she wouldn't be able to fulfill the promise she made to her daughter, but she hoped her daughter would be safe.

Slipping into her husband's study, she scribbled down furiously on a piece of paper. She had just tucked it inside the drawer when the door flew open.

"I've come for you, Mel. It's time to say bye to every single thing you love," the man said with a cruel smirk.

"I hate you," Melissa spat with hatred in her eyes.

"Love you, sugar," the man said before pulling the trigger.

"Mommy, where are you? Mommy!" Roxy called out as she walked down the corridor in search of her mother.

She came to a halt when she saw the door to her father's study slightly ajar. Roxy pushed it open, only to find a pool of blood on the pristine floor with no sight of her mother.

She walked closer to the blood and found her mother's necklace in the middle of it. Picking it up, she let out a scream as tears ran down her face. They had killed her mother, just like her father. She had no one. Sitting in a corner, she rocked herself as she continued to stare at the blood. She made a promise to herself as she tightened her hand around the necklace.

She would make the people pay for taking her parents away even though it was the last thing she accomplished.

She barely noticed that the time flew by. She didn't even have any awareness of her surroundings or hear feet pounding on the floorboards until the door to her father's study was yanked open.

"Shit. She's in here. I found her."

A man crouched down in front of her.

"Are you okay, honey? I'm your Uncle Rocco. What happened to you?"

"They killed them," she said as fresh tears flowed down her face.

"Shh. I'll take care of you. No harm will come to you ever again. You'll have a new family," the man said, patting her head.

"Everything will be fine from now on. You'll be safe and cared for."

"Why did they kill my parents, Uncle? They were friendly people."

Rocco cleaned her tears. "I don't know, sweetheart. I just know you'll be fine now. I'll take care of you." He lifted her into his arms.

"There's one thing I want you to know. Your parents were wonderful people, and they loved you until their dying breath."

"I'll make them pay," she said before exhaustion claimed her, and she fell unconscious.

Elodie took a deep breath and knocked, the sound echoing in the quiet corridor. A moment of silence passed, broken only by the pounding of her heart. Finally, the door snicked open, revealing a surprised Dashiell. 'Can't you see the Do Not Disturb sign? We don't want-' His initial frown quickly morphed into confusion at the sight of his wife. 'What are you doing here?' he demanded. 'Your girlfriend invited me,' Elodie replied, her voice laced with icy calm. She tried to peer past him, but his broad frame blocked the view. A saccharine voice chimed in from within the room. 'Elodie? Oh dear, we didn't mean for you to find out this way. It's just that-' Elodie cut her short. 'Oh please, Selene. Spare me the fake apologies. You wouldn't have sent me all those texts if you didn't want me to know.' Dashiell shifted uncomfortably, his face a mask of annoyance. 'What texts?' Elodie stepped past him, taking in the luxurious suite with a sardonic smile. The king-sized bed, the scattered rose petals, the lingering scent of sex – it all painted a vivid picture of their betrayal. She looked up at Dashiell, her gaze unwavering. 'I want a divorce.' ****** Dashiell lived a life of luxury, surrounded by the best things money could buy. But when a car accident left him vulnerable, he met Elodie, a seemingly ordinary woman who nursed him back to health. Mistaking her for just another employee, Dashiell entered into a loveless marriage with her solely for convenience. However, fate had a different script in store. Elodie, the 'ordinary nurse,' held a secret more precious than any diamond: she was the sole heiress to Northstar, a vast and powerful enterprise. Unaware of her true identity, Dashiell cast her aside when his ex-girlfriend returned, leaving Elodie humiliated. But Elodie was not one to be easily broken. She shed the facade of the meek nurse, reclaiming her rightful inheritance and stepping into the role of Northstar's CEO. Now, the woman Dashiell discarded was the one holding the reins of power. As Elodie thrives in her new role, Dashiell is consumed by regret. He finally sees Elodie for the extraordinary woman she truly is, realising the depth of his mistake. But will his remorse be enough to win back the heart he so carelessly discarded?
