LOST TILL FOUND Chapter 1 BROKEN 💔

I was so tired after a long day in school just for me to walk home and find Martha and Francis screaming at each other, my parents are just the worst, I look past them without even offering a hello and go straight to my room upstairs. I plan on taking a brief nap before going down for some food but I end up sleeping till dinner, while half asleep I hear mom walking into my room ,I know it's her because of that ridiculous slippers she likes wearing indoors that makes so much noise than she realizes .

She sits by my bed and taps me gently on the shoulder when I don't stir she takes a deep breath and then taps me again, this time I gently sit up and ask her whats wrong,she says it to me directly no beating around the bush."your dad and I are getting a divorce, as you know things haven't been great between us and I don't want you guys growing up and thinking this is how things are between couples so it's better we get a divorce ". I look at her wanting to ask who brought up the Idea but I already know who,so I just smile and tell her it's okay that we'll be fine ,she says thank you sweetheart and walks out.

When she's gone I sit down on my bed and laugh for about 30seconds ,then I stop, wondering why I was laughing in the first place

I look out my window and stare into the night then I hear something calling my name vera it was so faint I thought I imagined it but it called again ,I was about to ask who's there but before I could mom called me from down stairs "sweetheart come down for dinner and bring pete along" .I quickly jump down from my bed ignoring my imagination and going to find my cute little brother who I hadn't seen the whole day.I walk into his room ,pete mom said it's time for dinner where are you ,I don't see him in the bathroom or under the bed I start to panic but thats when I hear his little sobs in the closet ,I open it and join him in silence, I ask whats wrong and he says "I don't want mom and dad to split up" I tell him it's okay that we'll be fine ,he hugs me and I just can't help but cry.

We go down for dinner and mum and dad are already at table dad's already eating while mom is waiting for us ,when we sit down she says why did we take so long ,I say nothing and pete keeps quiet to,I could tell she knew by the look on her face that we'd been crying, so she said we should say grace and I did then we ate in complete silence. After dinner I went to my room after making sure pete got ready for bed and was tucked in ,he tells me he's a big boy but to me 6yrs is still a baby.I go through my routine before bed then I go on my knees to pray as mom taught me,she says prayer makes everything easier "Talk to God "she said so here i am talking to him. I go through the normal procedures i was taught thanks,mercy,then I pray for what I want.Talking to God in prayer always gave me peace but now I don't feel it anymore, I feel restless. I lie down after my little prayer and I close my eyes.

I hear my alarm blaring telling me it's time to wake up ,it's so annoying it makes me wonder why I even set it up in the first place, I wake up lazily and decide today's going to be my happy day,I'm going to pretend my life is perfect. I take a shower put on the nicest dress I have for school, put a little bit of makeup take my backpack and head downstairs for breakfast ,I don't need to worry about pete because mom handles him in the mornings. I greet everyone with a bright smile, mom looks happy when she sees me while dad looks shocked I'm smiling at him and he doesn't know how to respond .So I give pete a kiss on his cheek pick up an apple and leave mom says I should atleast have one pancake I say I'm good, I blow her a kiss and leave.

At school I meet Cindy, she's my BFF since kindergarten and I just love her she's the total opposite of my moody self and she's so pretty i wonder how we even became friends don't get me wrong I'm not ugly I'm just not as bubbly and confident as she is.Hey I say when she meets me and pulls me into a tight hug we walk hand in hand to class,it's our last year of high school so she wants us to do everything together because we're both applying to different colleges. We take our seats and the teacher goes on and on about something but I don't hear anything because I'm staring out the window at lost in thoughts, when I hear the voice say my name vera ,I listen carefully trying to find out if the voice is familiar, but I jolt suddenly when the teacher yells "vera damore can you tell us what's so intriguing out side "and the whole class starts laughing and thats when I realize this window faces the basketball court and some students are having try outs ,Cindy looks at me with amusement in her eyes and I just know I would never hear the end of it.During lunch time ,I tell Cindy I'll be back and go to the restroom, when I'm done ,I look at the mirror and I see someone behind me I turn and he's gone I look at the mirror again and he's there smiling at me ,I do what anyone would do I scream and i run.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

The Convict Heiress: Marrying The Billionaire

4.6

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."
