The Faceless Heiress and The Mysterious Bodyguard Chapter 1 Mother's Grave.

A black car drove down the deserted street, leading to her mother's house. Lucia sat in the car, her face serene, she looked out of the window, her gaze falling on the empty buildings of the deserted street. Lucia sighed, as she remembered her childhood days, here at Veteris street.

Lucia was pulled out of her sad thoughts when Hugh called to her. "Lucia, we're here, step down." Hugh said, his voice cold and his face, blank. Lucia nodded and stepped out of the car, she did not mind that Hugh, her bodyguard, had addressed her, by her first name.

Hugh followed behind Lucia, as she walked to a black gate. The gate looked old and rusty, it creaked loudly, as Lucia pushed it open. A shabby house came into view. The house had been abandoned, for years, just like other houses, on Veteris street. Overgrown, grasses, were everywhere.

The window panes were covered with dust, and the floor leading towards the front door was also covered in dust. Lucia walked between the grasses, she heard Hugh's voice behind her, "Careful, there might be snakes and scorpions here." Hugh said in his cold voice, carrying a tinge of worry, in it.

Lucia stopped, and turned back to her bodyguard, "Why don't you walk beside me, I think it safer, that way." Lucia, said, with a sly smirk on her face. Hugh sighed, and walked closer, to her. "As you wish." He said, his eyes, looking for any harmful thing or animal around.

Lucia enjoyed being near her bodyguard, she admired him, since the first day, she had seen him. Lucia did not walk to the front door, she walked towards the back of the house, where an old grave, was located. Lucia's eyes turned sad, as she looked at the old grave.

Hugh quietly stepped back, seeing Lucia's sad eyes, giving her privacy. Lucia walked to the grave, she had not visited her mother, since she was adopted by grandpa James. Lucia also couldn't come back, knowing she had not avenged her mother, even till now. Lucia fell at her mother's grave.

"Mum." Lucia said, in a shaky voice. The tears brimming in her eyes did not fall, as Lucia did not let them. Lucia knew that her mother detests tears and weakness. Lucia wouldn't show that to her mother. Lucia closed her eyes, tightly, as the painful memories of that day, resurfaced.

10 years ago, thirteen-year-old Lucia was sitting, at her study table, in her bedroom, fiddling with her fingernails, as she had pushed her books to the side, in boredom. She had always hated studying and would hide in the bathroom, from her mother, anytime her mother nagged her, about studying.

Lucia heard a loud thud, as if a big object, was dropped to the ground. Lucia frowned, but, she did not get up to check, as her mother would do that. Lucia lived alone, with her pregnant mother, and she knew no one else would push things around, like that.

After a few minutes, Lucia felt tasty, but she was extremely lazy, to go down the stairs. The water jug, in her room, was empty. Lucia pushed the chair she was sitting on, backward. She stood up and opened her door, to go out. As Lucia stepped out, she heard groans.

Lucia frowned, and walked hurriedly, down the stairs, as she got closer to the last step, the groans, sounded clearer. Lucia got to the last step, and she noticed, a blood stain, at the last step. Lucia gasped, thinking that her mother, had a miscarriage. Lucia looked around the house.

She looked around the house, but she couldn't spot her mother. 'She must be in the kitchen.' Lucia thought. Lucia was about to go to the kitchen, when she noticed the blood stains, on the floor, which led to the front door of the house. Lucia hurriedly followed the blood stains.

At the door, the blood was much thicker, as it had turned into a pool of blood. Lucia could see her mother, lying down on the floor, groaning in pain. Her maternity gown was bloodied, and it looked like she was dragged from the blood pool, to where she was.

There was a knife, lodged into her mother's round stomach. Lucia gasped, as she ran toward her mother. The young and naive Lucia took hold of the knife's hilt and tried to take it out. Thought her mother's pain, would lessen. Lucia had tears, in her eyes, threatening to fall.

"No..o, do..n't cry. It doesn't lo..ok good on you." Lucia's mother said, her voice, dripping with pain. Lucia fought her tears, at her mother's words. "Run...my s..ister..." Lucia's mother tried to say something but she was weak, as she had lost too much blood.

"What are you saying, mother? What about your sister?" Lucia said, her baby voice, slightly shaky. But, Lucia didn't hear another word, from her mother, as her mother was dead. Lucia didn't know this, she tried to pull the knife from her mother's belly. "My baby brother is in there."

Lucia didn't know that she now had company, as she was too focused on pulling the knife out. "What an evil child." A woman said, from her point of view, she thought Lucia was lodging the knife, deeply into her mother's belly. Lucia looked up in shock, hearing the voice.

Lucia was surprised to see that she had company, but it was not just a woman. She could see all her neighbors and also her mother's sister. Even though Lucia hated her mother's sister because she knew her mother wasn't on good terms, with her sister. Lucia begged her aunt for help.

Lucia raised her bloodied hands, towards her aunt, "Aunt, please help my mother, she's dying." Lucia said, not noticing the scornful looks, that was passed to her, by her neighbors. Lucia's tears, fell as she looked up at her aunt, but her aunt didn't move an inch, from her place.

"You killed my sister." Lucia's aunt, said wickedly, igniting words of scorn, towards Lucia, from the neighbors. "You are an evil child, you should rot in hell." A man said, spitting on the ground, in extreme disgust. Lucia's aunt, hid a sly smirk, on her face, behind her delicate hands.

Lucia shook her head, 'What are these people saying?' Lucia thought, looking at them like they had grown two heads. "My mother needs help. Please." Lucia cried out, but she was met with, scornful looks. Lucia was confused and did not what to do. She tried to carry her mother.

"She is dead, you killed her." A woman said. Another man said, "Get off her, we saw you kill her, don't try to act like you want to save her." The man spat, directly at Lucia. Lucia looked away from her mother, to the man, saying, "No, I didn't kill her."

"My mother is not dead. You're all lying." Lucia shouted at her neighbors. She didn't understand what they were saying, she was trying to help her mother here. Lucia ran to her aunt, and knelt, before her, "Aunt, please." Lucia pleaded. Lucia's aunt, pushed little Lucia, to the ground.

"Go away, possessed child." Lucia's aunt said. Lucia looked from her aunt to her neighbors. Their words echoed In her head. Their mouths, moving and everything turned too slow, for Lucia to process. Lucia curled herself, into a ball, her gaze landing on her unmoving mother, tears spilled out, uncontrollably.

Lucia was pulled out of her sad memories, when Hugh, tapped her shoulders, "Lucia, we should leave." Hugh said, his heart, ached, looking at the unshed tears in Lucia's eyes. Lucia stood up and noticed the sky had turned dark. It also wasn't good, to stay in Veteris, at night.

Lucia walked past Hugh, not even sparing a glance at him. She was still sad, and she didn't want Hugh, to stare at her gloomy face. Hugh walked silently behind Lucia, his eyes, glowing in the dark, which Lucia didn't notice. Lucia walked faster, wanting to get out of Veteris.

"Slow down, you might hurt yourself." Hugh said, and as he finished his sentence, Lucia stepped on a stone, and she could not balance herself. Lucia closed her, expecting pain, but she felt a strong arm, envelope her. Lucia, felt momentarily safe, in Hugh's arms, and didn't want to stay away.

Hugh hurriedly helped Lucia up and pushed her a little, away from him, not indulging Lucia, in her fantasies. He knew his limits, on how he was allowed to interact with her. Lucia felt embarrassed, seeing the way Hugh pushed her. 'Is he disgusted?' Lucia thought, and she became gloomier.

Lucia cleared her throat, and raised her chin, arrogantly. She looked confident, but she couldn't hide her gloomy aura, from Hugh. Lucia walked haughtily, away from Hugh, out of the house, towards the car. Hugh chuckled, seeing Lucia's feigned haughtiness. He walked behind, her, and opened the car door, for her.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

My bank account showed exactly $42.18, and my student loan notifications were flashing red. I lived in a sweltering Queens apartment with my Aunt Lydia, where the air was thick with the smell of stale frying oil and the constant threat of being homeless. Lydia handed me a grainy photo of a man twice my age and told me she had already "sold" me to him. He was a dry cleaner looking for a wife, and in exchange for my hand, he would pay off her credit cards and my debt. If I didn't show up for the date that night, my boxes would be on the curb by midnight. I arrived at the cafe in a state of panic, my selective mutism making it impossible to even breathe. In the crowded room, I accidentally sat at the wrong table. Instead of the man from the photo, I found myself facing Gerhard Holcomb—the cold, terrifyingly handsome billionaire whose family owned the very museum where I worked. He didn't send me away; instead, he studied my trembling hands and offered me a different deal: a two-year contract marriage, a two-million-dollar payout, and a strict clause forbidding any children. I signed the papers and moved into his Park Avenue penthouse, thinking I was finally safe. But when I went back to the old apartment to retrieve the only memento of my dead parents, Lydia lashed out, leaving me bleeding from a head wound. Gerhard’s retaliation was absolute—he had her arrested and her building foreclosed on within hours, claiming he was simply "protecting his assets." As I recovered in his silent, glass-walled home, I saw a call from a famous socialite flash on his phone, and a cold truth settled in my gut. I wasn't just a wife; I was a placeholder, a silent shield used to fend off the women from his past. I looked at the massive pink diamond on my finger and realized the silence I had lived in my whole life was about to become my most expensive prison. I had traded a life of poverty for a high-stakes game of shadows, and now I had to survive the man who claimed to own me.

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.
