Chapter 1 1

My name is Bella Fasi , age 18. I am here from a family of two children including my little brother Annick and me . My family is not rich but we are not in need. My father is a farmer but he earns a good living and my mother is a fruit seller in the Aka market in our village Boula. You are wondering if I go to school or not. Well, we are in the vacations and next school year, I will take my baccalaureate. I hope I will pass my exam.

In short, my parents love each other very much, it is the total submission of women to their husbands. It has always been like this in my village, the woman has no say in her husband's decision. Our parents gave us a good education, that's why I love them very much. I am a brilliant student and I dream of becoming a doctor, saving lives anyway. As far as relationships are concerned, I have never had one but I like a boy in my class named John. But I feared my parents a lot and I also wanted a better future so I am wary of men.

Today is a Monday, it was my mother who woke me up with her screams. At 5 o'clock in the morning, she was already in the kitchen because she had to prepare the meal before my father got up to go to the field.

« I say ooh, Bella, aren't you going to wake up? Or did you not see the time?»

« Mom I'm already coming don't worry»

So I got up quickly to get a loincloth dress that I wore and ran to the kitchen. I greeted her.

«Hello mom»

«Good morning Bella, I hope you slept well.»

«yes mom I thank God»

«Ok go and bring me the two pots here and put the water in the big one to prepare the yam.»

«ok mum»

«hurry up then»

After finishing the kitchen, we put the dishes on the mat. The family eats together on a mat spread in the middle of the living room, it's the rule. After putting down the food, I went to take a shower before my father arrived. Once in the living room, I see him already installed with my brother on the mat. I greet him quickly and sit down too.

«Hello father»

«Good morning my daughter and your night?»

«yes father I am fine»

«Ok then, let's eat, woman I hope your food is sweet.»

It was in this atmosphere that we had lunch. My father and my little brother had gone to the field. My mother and I had gone to the market aka to sell our fruits of the day. In the evening, we all meet at home to eat and sleep.

A month has passed already, there is nothing special my friends, the beginning of the school year is in a week. We are already in the preparations, supplies and other. With my savings I bought two dresses, I was happy because I know that one day I will be able to afford everything I want.

The school year starts today, I was already on my way with my little brother. When I arrived at the gate, I breathed the air, looked around and smiled. I remember last year, I gave the best of me. This year too I will succeed, pass my exam and leave here. I will fight. We entered the school to look for our names and found our room. After that, I wanted to go home already because I am hungry.

«Annick, I don't think we have anything to do here anymore. We can leave, right?»

«Yes, big sister, let's go.»

We set off for home. When we arrived at the house we ate and then everyone went to bed.

Six months have passed, the exam is already approaching. Today we didn't finish the course quickly, I'm very tired. On the way back I was walking fast when I saw a scene that really irritated me.

Indeed it was a young man kissing a young girl on the side of the road. It is disgusting, I pass in front of them, it does not concern me. I'm going to sleep quickly today because I'm tired now.

A week later, at 7 o'clock I am already ready for school, we said goodbye to our parents then we left.

When I came back in the evening, my father told us...

«Woman you and your daughter I want to see you in the living room after dinner.»

« Okay, husband. Bella accompany me to get the food.»

After dinner, my brother has gone to bed because the meeting does not concern him. I am already asking myself unanswered questions because I don't know the purpose of this meeting, in any case my heart is already beating.

«Sit down, Bella, you are already a big girl. You already know a lot about life. My job doesn't pay too well. At a certain age, a woman is called to keep a home, here you have studied and I hope that you have not forgotten the education that my father has given you.»

«my husband, where are you going with this?» said my mother, surprised.

«I have found a husband for your daughter » said my father calmly.

I am dead. I heard a husband, that word was echoing in my head. No, my father won't do that to me, I refuse. What will become of me, and my dreams, as a nurse. It's not true that I'm going to marry a complete stranger, that's still what it is. In my village, we did not discuss the order of the parents or else they would call you a rebel, and then stone you or deny you. I ran to my room and cried all night, hoping that I could convince my father not to marry me. I know that one day it will happen but I never imagined that it could be so fast and with a stranger.

"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage. We had been married for exactly three years-three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment. For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage. Today, I finally received his message: "I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport." When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined-he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend. In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air. Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken-to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again. He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end-almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be. "Aurora, come back. I regret everything!" Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me-only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
