The long battle against the Humans and Vampires ended in despair with the humans losing, as spoils of war, I the Empress, I'm sent to the territory of my enemies to the chambers of a man I have never met to serve him. But when the emperor arrives I find that the Vampire King, now Emperor is none other than... "According to custom, once an Emperor dies and his brother accends the throne, it's only right for him to claim the properties, including material and physical. I'm sure my brother must have loved you a lot to send you out of the palace first." "The brother of the Emperor...? Don't tell me you're that mute, Aiden, the third prince. You didn't die." "I'm delighted you bothered to remember this slave, master. And I didn't die as you selfishly wished I should. So Adeline, brace yourself for your long night." Sure enough it was Aiden, but how did that weakling become like this, and wasn't he mute?

Persona: My Husband's Mute Brother Chapter 1 Sin.

I was barely six years old when my father returned alone as a war hero.

He rode on horseback, the town drove into silence. That day, my father, who was the only survivor out of one hundred thousand men, returned with the head of the Vampire King and threw it at the feet of His Majesty, the Emperor.

That day changed everything.

The commoner with no impact was instantly known as the hero of the Empire. Everyone knew and sang the praises of Aaron Damanstus, children reciting lines from a street play about the great hero.

However, not everyone loved this commoner turned Hero.

As the fame of my father rose through the roof, the loyalty to the Emperor was shared, his glory outshone the Emperor and in time, he became envious.

After my father returned as a war hero, a lot of things changed. He was given an honourable title but not a noble one, a mansion, as well as borders. It was at that time that my father's greed grew.

To please the king, he kept companies that poisoned his heart, employed vicious and scheming workers, and began neglecting his family, and with time, our mother grew sick and died.

No one knew about that part of the story, all they knew after my mother's death was that 'the Damanstus we're a happy family and supported each other after their mother's death.

Stories about how Adeline, the youngest of the three, was showered with gifts and love because of her striking resemblance to their mother circulated, rather than the cold truth of how my father would abandon us to go to war, and it continued that way until my brothers were old enough to join him.

Things like this made me realize that maybe, just maybe, I was happy with the way things used to be before he became who he is today.

The more I grew the more I began to know the taste of reality and the consequences of having too much power.

Well, it was everything one could dream of, but then father made that one mistake, with just a slip of the tongue, that dreadful, careless speech.

"My daughter can dispel magic. She is like a protective barrier against magic I tell you. She can cancel and protect you from danger." That one careless statement changed my life forever.

The next day, I was brought before His Majesty the Emperor.

Although I had no idea of what was happening before me as I was unaware of my ability at that age, I was tested by the mages.

It was at that moment I realized I was indeed magic resistant and had protective magic.

It turned out that my mother was a fairy, who met my father and fell in love when they were still young and innocent.

Their joy knew no bounds after having two sons, finally, they had me. I was just nine when she died. It was also thanks to her powers that father was safe when he went to war but she died three years after he returned due to his negligence.

I didn't mind that, what I mind is that he used me as a stepping stone. How disgraceful.

Thanks to him I was promised to the third son of the Emperor, but I could promise you one thing, I was not going to sit on that throne any time soon.

Although the Emperor showed that he favoured us, everyone knew that he hated my father, only he was too blind to see that.

The Emperor was known to be a ruler with great ego, he had always hated people he found stronger than him, and my father was one of them.

The opportunity my father saw to gain favour, was a chance to put him in chains, as such I was promised to the third outcast prince.

"That man, how dare he disgrace my pride and honour, of all people he set my daughter up with a weakling. Did you see, he did not even dare allow the third prince to show his face." After we arrived at the palace, father started crashing stuff, he held my shoulders and shook them. "Adeline, listen to me, you will be Queen. I promise you, I'll team up with many people to make that happen, just you wait." I never wanted the throne, to be clear it was he who desired to be called 'Your Majesty', even my brothers knew this much.

A drunk power-hungry man. My father was never such a person until recently, greed had consumed him and if he did not end his terrible power-hungry act he would end up falling for that man's trap.

"The prince is not well at the moment, and so he cannot attend to visitors." They say that but it's already the tenth time I'm hearing the same excuse. It's been seven years since that day, and I am yet to see the face of my soon-to-be husband. I heard he was with a weak heart and doesn't see people that much so even when I requested we meet we never did.

"Don't you know who she is, she is Sir Aaron's daughter." My maid and closest friend, Diane explained. "This is already the tenth time, when do we get to see the prince." One was bound to get angry, but I was not. Seeing how nonchalant they were, even picking their noses in front of their guest, I could only assume that the prince himself was not getting better treatment. "Look here we even brought gifts."

"That's alright. Thank you for your time." I greeted the man and turned around heading for the carriage.

"What a bunch of jokes, dreaming to be a princess." The guards laughed. I've ignored them as much as I could but now I'm becoming fed up. I tolerate it because of what might happen to my family.

"Drive," I say to the coachman as I knock twice on the roof of the carriage and then after a little jiggle we start to move, but just then the weather frowned upon us as it started drizzling.

I began to wonder, are we cursed? it's not like father would believe me if I say we were anyway. Oh well, I'll leave that for destiny to decide.

Woah!!!

The carriage shook violently and I held on to the seat, wondering what went wrong.

I had just woken from my sleep after such a long ride and the reason for being awake was this occurrence. The coachman ran to my door looking panicked. "What is it?" I asked anxiously.

Drenched in the rain, the coachman pulled off his hat and squeezed it. I drew near the window and patiently waited for what he had to say, and then finally he opened his mouth.

"My Lady, it seems we ran into someone, and I think he's dead."

I opened the door and ran out of the carriage, stopping right before the scene of the night. There lies a man on the wet muddy ground and our carriage next to it. I close my eyes and look up to the heavens.

Dear God. What have we done?

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

For seventeen years, I was the crown jewel of the Kensington empire, the perfect daughter groomed for a royal future. Then, a cream-colored envelope landed in my lap, bearing a gold crest and a truth that turned my world into ice. The DNA test result was a cold, hard zero percent-I wasn't a Kensington. Before the ink could even dry, my parents invited my replacement, a girl named Alleen, into the drawing room and treated me like a trespasser in my own home. My mother, who once hosted galas in my honor, wouldn't even look me in the eye as she stroked Alleen's arm, whispering that she was finally "safe." My father handed me a one-million-dollar check-a mere tip for a billionaire-and told me to leave immediately to avoid tanking the company's stock price. "You're a thief! You lived my life, you spent my money, and you don't get to keep the loot!" Alleen shrieked, trying to claw the designer jacket off my shoulders while my "parents" watched with clinical detachment. I was dumped on a gritty sidewalk in Queens with nothing but three trunks and the address of a struggling laborer I was now supposed to call "Dad." I traded a marble mansion for a crumbling walk-up where the air smelled of exhaust and my new bedroom was a literal storage closet. My biological family thought I was a broken princess, and the Kensingtons thought they had successfully erased me with a payoff and a non-disclosure agreement. They had no idea that while I was hauling trunks up four flights of stairs, my secret media empire was already preparing to move against them. As I sat on a thin mattress in the dark, I opened my encrypted laptop and sent a single command that would cost my former father ten million dollars by breakfast. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves, but they forgot one thing: I'm the one who leads the pack.

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.
