I lift up my eyes from my pencil case just in time to notice Sarah staring at me. I don't know why but I couldn't pull my eyes away from her gaze. I felt drawn to her.

Chapter 1 Monday Blues

Sarah's POV

"Sarah! Sarah! Time for school."

"Ugh" I mutter beneath the sheets. Today was the most dreaded of all days of the week, Monday. The weekend just flies by so quickly and I just know this is going to be a miserable day. First subject is Math and I know Mr. knight is famous for his pop quizzes and something just tells me one is coming today.

"Sarah! Sarah!"

"Coming mom" I respond quickly.

I knew she'll be marching up the stairs to fetch me if she ever has to call again. I roll out of bed and head to the bathroom. At least if today day is going to be the worst day I can at least camouflage my mood and dress my best.

After showering, I make my way to my closet and pick out my favorite pair of black jeans with a pink and black dress shirt I recently bought with my allowance. I stare at myself in the mirror making sure my hair was neat and presentable enough to compliment the outfit.

"Sar-"

"I'm here" I reply jumping down the last two stairs before mom could finish calling my name. "What took you so long?" she inquire looking me from head to toe. I twirl and smile "time well spent" I nudge. She smiles and shakes her head.

I look at the table as breakfast is already laid out. I sit to to enjoy the meal before me but mom's voice interrupts "No time to eat now. Pack it up to take with you or you'll missed the bus."

I knew the consequences of missing the bus. Either I walk, which is about next to impossible or I wait on the next bus which will definitely get me to school late and I was not about staying after school for detention. I shuddered at the thought as I pack my breakfast grab my prepacked lunch and rush to the bus stop.

As if perfectly timed the bus arrives as soon as I reach. "Good morning Sarah" Steve the bus drivers smiles and says. I return the smile and the greeting as I give a quick nod.

Steve was one of the friendliest drivers I've ever met and the only one who seemed genuinely nice to all the students, whether they were nice to him or not. I sat in my usual seat, one row behind the driver's seat. I place my ear pods in and relax. "Sarah!" I open my eyes "you've got to turn those things down." Steve says as he shakes his head. "I've been calling for some time now"

I look around

"Yes, you are at school"

This had almost become his daily routine.

I stretch as a yawn accompanies it "thank you Steve...." I begin

"I owe you one" he chimes in knowingly. We both laugh as I get out. 'Oh how time flies when you're resting' I thought.

I stand at the gate and gaze at the huge building ahead. It's been 4 years already and still somehow I feel overwhelmed and small each time I arrived. I enter the school compound losing all the confidence I once possessed when I left home. I wasn't surprised, I know it wasn't going to last, it never does. Dressed up so pretty but no confidence to show off its full beauty. I hold my head down avoiding the least bit of contact with anyone as I walk the hallway to Math.

"Hey you look pretty today"

A smile escapes my lips as I turn around only to be face with a confused look from the face behind me.

"Hey get out of my way" he yells.

I look around then look at him with a questioning face, I point to myself.

"Who else do you think I can possibly be talking to" he snaps obviously irritated.

What was I thinking, of course he wanted me to move. I step aside and sigh. Wasn't I accustomed to this by now.

Blake's POV

The minute Sarah walks in I turn around, the room fills with the sweetest fragrance. Like a garden full of the most heavenly scented flowers. She avoids all contact fastening her eyes to the ground as though looking for something in particular. She walks slowly to class. I know the bell is about to ring shortly and I make my way behind her.

"Hey you look pretty today" I whisper

She pauses and is about to turn around. I guess she heard me. My heart skips a beat as I struggle to keep my composure. I am about to make eye contact with her when I feel a slap on my back.

"Hey buddy"

I turn to see Jake grinning from ear to ear. I turn back to face Sarah who is now looking at me with the sweetest smile.

"Hey get out of my way" I shout

She slowly steps aside, my heart sinks. Jakes laughs as he pushes past her almost pinning her to the door frame.

'I just had to do it' I convinced myself 'I can't be week, no one could know. If anyone found my weakness, that she was my weakness, who knows what they'll do.'

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.

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.
