Chapter 1 Prologue

The wooden window clasped against each other as it swung open abruptly. Cold air gushed into the room as the young teenage girl flinched in bed.

The coldness slowly wafted over her, consuming her to the last bit. Her eyes cracked open shortly after by the sudden gush of air. She averted her gaze to the opened window and something seemed out of the ordinary.

The dark sky had not lit up and the atmosphere was not so pleasing. She stared at the blank sky and her heartbeat steadily rose. Something about the sky made her anxious. The stars were absent. The moon did not illuminate as it always did and the clouds seemed darker than ever.

Still facing her window, she stretched her hand backwards to pick up her phone. But instead, she grabbed onto something else.

"I love you," a hoarse voice whispered into her ears. Her eyes darted around searching. As much as she looked, she was alone in the room.

"Now I'm hearing voices too. I must be crazy," she said as she giggled faintly.

"But let's break up," the voice continued followed by very faint footsteps and creaking sounds which echoed in her ears. The screeching sounds intensified, accompanied by heavy breaths.

She closed her eyes taking in deep breaths when suddenly she felt a hand wrapped around her arms. She slowly turned shivers running through her body. She was terrified. And there IT was AGAIN.

***

"Nooooooooooooooo!" Sky Boateng screamed as her eyes cracked open, waking from her slumber. It was the nightmare again and she pinched herself hard to check if she wasn't still dreaming. And of course, she was awake.

She sat on her bed and as expected, no one came to check on her since she did this every day. They only checked on her on days she did not scream.

"She's alive" Michael, her twin brother would barge into her room, scream and walk right out. Her nightmares started a few months ago on her 18th birthday to be precise. And ever since, mornings in the Boateng's household had always been the same.

When Sky first had this nightmare, her family showed so much concern and worry. Her screams were frustrating and disturbing at first but they all became used to it. After a week or two passed, she became the house alarm. An alarm that woke everyone just in time for their daily activities. Her nightmares always ended with her seeing a beastly image, a faceless phantom. As far as she knew, she had been single all her life and the idea of dating a ghost was just terrifying. She had seen a lot of movies about girls dating ghosts, vampires, and even werewolves and she did not want that for herself. She wanted a normal life since she thought her life had been hard enough. First, her accident, then her memory loss and now this. All she wished for was a normal life but then life did not always go as expected. And the thought that she could be engaged to a supernatural creature crept her out.

"Could my life be any weirder?" she sighed as she thought of her dream. "Why do I always have these recurring dreams? Why do I keep seeing this phantom?" Sky hugged her pillow and before she knew she was asleep.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

Nicole had entered marriage with Walter, a man who never returned her feelings, bound to him through an arrangement made by their families rather than by choice. Even so, she had held onto the quiet belief that time might soften his heart and that one day he would learn to love her. However, that day never came. Instead, he treated her with constant contempt, tearing her down with cruel words and dismissing her as fat and manipulative whenever it suited him. After two years of a cold and distant marriage, Walter demanded a divorce, delivering his decision in the most degrading manner he could manage. Stripped of her dignity and exhausted by the humiliation, Nicole agreed to her friend Brenda's plan to make him see what he had lost. The idea was simple but daring. She would use another man to prove that the woman Walter had mocked and insulted could still be desired by someone else. All they had to do was hire a gigolo. Patrick had endured one romantic disappointment after another. Every woman he had been involved with had been drawn not to him, but to his wealth. As one of the heirs to a powerful and influential family, he had long accepted that this pattern was almost unavoidable. What Patrick wanted was far more difficult to find. He longed to fall in love with a woman who cared for him as a person, not for the name he carried or the fortune attached to it. One night, while he was at a bar, an attractive stranger approached him. Because of his appearance and composed demeanor, she mistook him for a gigolo. She made an unconventional proposal, one that immediately caught his interest and proved impossible for him to refuse.

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.
