Chapter 1 Shadows of the Forgotten

Evelyn Carter stood on the rooftop of her apartment building, her eyes fixed on the sprawling cityscape of Veridian. Towers of steel and glass reached toward the heavens, casting long shadows over the streets below. It was a city brimming with secrets, a place where mysteries lurked in every dark alley and hidden enclave.

With her auburn hair cascading down her shoulders and her piercing green eyes filled with determination, Evelyn possessed an insatiable curiosity that had led her down the path of an archaeologist. Her passion for uncovering the truth buried beneath layers of time had brought her to Veridian, a city rich in forgotten history and enigmatic artifacts.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Evelyn's thoughts turned to the cryptic message that had landed in her possession. It had arrived that morning, a single sheet of parchment with symbols and ancient script scrawled upon it. Its contents hinted at the existence of an artifact-an object of immense power hidden within Veridian itself.

A mixture of excitement and trepidation coursed through Evelyn's veins. The prospect of unearthing such a relic both thrilled and terrified her. But the call to uncover the truth was too strong to resist. She knew she had to embark on this journey, no matter the risks.

Determined to decipher the message, Evelyn descended from the rooftop and entered her dimly lit study. The room was cluttered with maps, old books, and artifacts she had collected throughout her years of research. She laid the parchment on her desk, its symbols seemingly pulsating with a mysterious energy.

With furrowed brows, Evelyn poured over her extensive library, searching for clues that would unlock the secrets of the message. Hours turned into days as she immersed herself in ancient languages, symbols, and the lore of Veridian's history. The more she delved into her research, the more she realized that the artifact she sought was no ordinary trinket-it was a key that could unlock a world of unimaginable power.

Days turned into weeks, and Evelyn's obsession with the artifact consumed her every waking moment. She withdrew from the world, consumed by her pursuit of knowledge. But as she became increasingly lost in her research, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched.

One evening, as the moon cast an ethereal glow over the city, Evelyn received an unexpected visitor. A man stepped out of the shadows, his face obscured by the brim of a hat. His voice, low and gravelly, echoed through the room.

"Evelyn Carter, I've been observing your endeavors. You tread dangerous paths, unaware of the shadows that lurk within Veridian."

Startled, Evelyn reached for the antique dagger she kept by her side. Her heart raced as she confronted the mysterious stranger. "Who are you? What do you know about the artifact?"

The man chuckled, his voice tinged with a mix of amusement and warning. "Call me Victor. I was once a member of an organization known as the Shadows of Veritas. We are intimately acquainted with the hidden secrets of this city."

Evelyn's eyes widened in realization. The Shadows of Veritas-rumored to be a clandestine group with knowledge of the occult and arcane. If anyone could shed light on the artifact and the mysteries that surrounded it, it was Victor and his enigmatic organization.

"I seek answers, Victor," Evelyn said, her voice filled with determination. "The artifact holds the key to untold power, and I must understand its purpose. Will you help me?"

Victor regarded her with a mix of caution and curiosity. "You walk a dangerous path, Evelyn Carter, but the Shadows of Veritas may offer the guidance you seek. However, be prepared

. The shadows of Veridian run deep, and their secrets can consume those who dare to uncover them."

With a newfound sense of purpose, Evelyn made her decision. She would join forces with Victor and the Shadows of Veritas. Together, they would navigate the treacherous labyrinth of Veridian, unravel its enigmatic history, and face the dark forces that sought to possess the artifact.

Little did they know that their quest would lead them to a world where the boundaries of reality blurred, and where the true nature of power awaited those brave enough to challenge the unknown. Their journey had just begun, and the shadows of the forgotten were ready to reveal their secrets.

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?

4.4

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."
