Chapter One.

The History

Mrs. Bond point of view.

Setting: An expensive boutique owned by Mrs. Bond.

"Patricia, you can shop here today and I will give you 25% off, you know to celebrate our partnership that would be signed soon" I said in excitement.

"Oh Maya, were you not informed?" Patricia laughed in a very odd way, I know my friend, she doesn't act without a reason but for this I didn't understand her.

"What do you mean though?" I had to ask her.

"Your daughter in law, Esther right? Well, she signed the deal yesterday and tomorrow we would discuss all the details, didn't you know about it? Well, you have a daring daughter in law if you don't know about this. I mean it is your company and she does things behind your back well, that is just disrespectful. If it were me, I would put her in her place, she only married your son, nothing special, She should never forget her place" Patricia said as she raised her brow and sounded disappointed me.

But she was right, I have been disrespected and I shouldn't allow that, in anything she should have at least told me and she allowed someone as low as Patricia talk to me in this manner, she will get it from me, I promise her this.

"Oh, she did tell me, we would discuss some matters, I guess it should be this and you know we are friends, so she signed it" I said to cover how embarrassed I felt.

I fumed inside me as I knew I had to meet her immediately.

I called my driver immediately after Patricia.

Author's Point of View.

"Mrs. Bond, we reached out to Jason and Sons corporation for the merger in fashion world and it seems like they will agree to our amount, but there are having doubts" One of the board members said.

"Okay, until they agree with us, don't stop pressing the issue" Mrs. Bond replied.

"Okay, I should brief you guys about the new partnership we have with Jewelries co, we will about to launch it in the next fashion show" Mrs. Bond said as she stood up to the projector.

The board room door suddenly opened in the wildest way, it took everyone by shock.

It could only mean one thing Mrs. Bond is here. The dramatic queen of the company is here. It was rumored that her heels are always specially made and there were made of pure glass, the staff often thought it was just a bad rumor that the staff made up, since she was always tagged as the old witch. No one likes it when she is around.

Her glassy heel sounded so distinct as the board room is so quiet, if I pin dropped everyone would notice.

She walked straight to her daughter in law, she never accepted her, she never loved her or treated her as a human, she often referred her as a mere coincidence, she often said her son could have made better choices than this.

She walked to her daughter in law and slammed the file in her hands, she slammed it on the table the impact was so much that the bottle water placed on the table on fell, some of the board members gasped in fear.

"Who approved this contract?" Who approved this thirty million dollars project?" She asked and the board members all replied "Mrs. Bond did, ma'am"

"OH! It is the doing of my Precious Daughter in law who is so blessed with all my riches and my influence right?" She said and fear gripped Esther immediately

"And who told you, you can do that?" Who told you, you had enough to make decisions in my own company! WHO ON EARTH GAVE YOU THE RIGHT! She yelled and the board members were scared even for Esther.

She sighed as she adjusted her hair and looked Esther straight in her eyes.

"ESTHER! Listen to me, just because you married my son, doesn't mean my heart has grown fondly of you and if you think just because you are now the one of the major shareholders of my company, you can make decisions without informing me?" You are wrong. my heart will learn to love you? You are thinking wrong, I will NEVER ACCEPT YOU!"

Her mother in law said slamming the files again on the table before leaving the board room,

the board of directors all stared and watched. She did it before and now she is doing it again.

"Okay, we would move this meeting to another day Linda? Meet me in my office" Mrs. Maya Bond said as she left

"This is just wrong, why does Mrs. Bond treat her daughter in Law like that? Why does she embarrass her and not give her chance?" One of the staff members asked as they were always confused as to why Mrs. Bond treated her Son's wife that way.

"Well, tonight at the team bonding and relaxation night, I will tell you all about it" Gerald, the oldest staff replied.

'We have heard rumors about how badly Mrs. Bond treat her daughter in law and it has been that way since the very first day that they met'

Mrs Bond and her daughter in law point of view.

Author speaking

Setting: Mrs Maya Bond office

Esther walks in her office, Mrs. Bond on her sit her office is painted in light blue color, a huge office with a big window view and a mini set placed aside that can be used for a meeting, Her in law isn't a huge fan of large halls for meetings but she is one for attention.

Mrs. Bond is having in meeting and as soon as she saw her, she called off the meeting.

"Esther, you should know your place in this company, why did you sign the deal with Mrs. Patricia?"

"It was a joint decision between Alex and I, we previewed her documents and we gave her a chance"Esther replied.

"A chance?" Mrs. Bond yelled.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

I arrived at my uncle’s mansion looking like human trash, clutching a one-way bus ticket and a duffel bag stuffed with old newspaper. My aunt looked at me with pure disgust, as if she could smell the poverty on my skin, but they needed me for one thing: to be a sacrificial lamb. They told me I was getting married to Julian Sterling, a man the elite circles called a violent monster locked in a cage. My uncle forced me to sign away my soul to save their failing fortune, while my cousin Kayla laughed and threw a torn dress at my feet, calling me a "rat from the Rust Belt." At the Sterling estate, the nightmare only deepened. Julian’s stepmother treated me like a horse she was forced to buy, ordering the staff to "burn off" my hair before locking me in the West Wing. I was thrown into a padded cell with a man who lunged at me, his heavy chains rattling against the floor as he roared with an animalistic rage that had already killed two nurses. They thought I was a pathetic, uneducated girl who "didn't read so good." They didn't know I had extorted two million dollars from my uncle before walking out the door, or that I was secretly recording every slap and insult they threw at me for future leverage. I huddled in the corner of that dark cell, letting them watch me tremble on the security feeds. I let Julian’s sister strike me with a riding crop and splash water in my face, playing the role of the clumsy, sobbing idiot to perfection. But the moment the cameras looped, the scared girl vanished. I pinned the "monster" to the floor, cut the neural tracking chip out of his neck with a hidden scalpel, and whispered into his ear as his blue eyes finally cleared. They thought they were sending a lamb to the slaughter. They had no idea they were sending a wolf to hunt a beast.

I stood in the darkest corner of the Pierre Hotel’s ballroom, my cheap polyester dress itching against my skin while my wristband buzzed with a DARPA Priority Red alert. In front of the city’s elite, my fiancé Bryce Calloway took the stage, not to toast our future, but to publicly end our engagement and announce he was with my sister, Chloe. The room turned on me instantly, a hundred pairs of eyes pinning me down with pity and disgust as they physically backed away like I was contagious. When I returned home, my mother shattered a crystal vase at my feet, screaming that I was a humiliation and a "dropout" who didn't deserve a cent of the family fortune. Chloe and Bryce mocked me, laughing when I told them I had a mission with the National Security Agency, convinced I was either a pathological liar or a low-level criminal. They watched in horror as a black, unmarked military helicopter descended on our backyard to extract me, yet they still chose to believe I was being arrested for drug trafficking. They saw a pathetic girl who couldn't even parallel park, never realizing I was Dr. Nova Vance, the lead physicist behind the world's first successful fusion reactor. To secure funding for my research and gain a "fortress" of a name, I signed a thirty-day marriage contract with the arrogant billionaire Roman Knight. He treats me like a fraud, convinced I’m a gold-digger who failed out of college, while I quietly run global energy simulations from his guest bedroom. He has no idea that the "loser" he’s forced to live with is the same anonymous grandmaster who has been ruthlessly crushing him in online strategy games for months. "The contract is active," I told him, looking past his expensive suit. "But don't expect me to be your maid."

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.
