Chapter 1 Shadows of Deceit and Desire

The sun's rays danced through the transparent curtains, illuminating Isabella Reed's face with cozy warmth. Her hazel eyes flickered with resolve as she stretched her thin frame. She was going to start her quest to dominate the fashion world today. Her mind was buzzing with concepts as she got out of bed, ready to bring her inventions to life.

Isabella was born and raised in a quiet village in the English countryside, hidden among rolling hills. Her childhood love of textiles and hues had distinguished her from her friends. She longed to blaze her path in the world of fashion while others preoccupied themselves with traditional objectives. In defiance of her religiously orthodox relatives, she persevered in the pursuit of her goals even though the period she lived in had not yet fully embraced female independence.

Isabella meticulously organized her sketches as the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled her little studio apartment. Each pattern had a narrative and represented a piece of her soul that was ready to be woven into cloth. She was adamant about developing a brand that embodied her vision since she had unflinching faith in her abilities.

She discovered a modest atelier tucked away in the center of Paris with a meager budget but great enthusiasm. It was a wonderful place with a sense of inventiveness and the past. The space was flooded with natural light from the tall windows and lofty ceilings, which gave the drawings on the walls an ethereal glow. Here, stitch by stitch, Isabella's visions began to materialize.

As Isabella poured her heart and soul into her masterpieces, the days and nights merged into one. Each design was painstakingly created and reflected her distinct viewpoint and creative energy. She was inspired by the city's bustling streets, attractive architecture, and coexisting ethnicities as well as by its many different cultures. Isabella's inventions evolved into a visual representation of herself. It was a wonderful place with a sense of inventiveness and the past. As an outgrowth of herself and a physical representation of her unbreakable spirit, Isabella's crafts came to represent her.

She found herself in Milan, the fashion capital of Europe. The city's vibrant energy filled her with both excitement and trepidation. She sought out every opportunity to showcase her designs, attending fashion shows, networking events, and collaborating with established designers. Despite her undeniable talent, doors seemed to close one after another. Rejections became a part of her daily routine, but Isabella refused to be disheartened. As fate would have it, Isabella crossed paths with a renowned fashion designer named Sophia Marino. Sophia had built an empire from scratch, and her work was celebrated around the world. Intrigued by Isabella's determination and raw talent, Sophia took the young designer under her wing. Isabella became Sophia's apprentice, learning the intricate art of creating haute couture. Under Sophia's guidance, Isabella's skills blossomed. She absorbed every lesson like a sponge, honing her craft and pushing the boundaries of her creativity. Sophia recognized Isabella's potential and encouraged her to trust her instincts, teaching her that success in the fashion industry required both talent and audacity.

One fateful day, as Isabella presented her most recent collection to a select gathering of powerful fashion industry figures, she locked eyes with a tall, mysterious man. She experienced an unexplainable kinship with him as he stared into her soul with piercing blue eyes. He identified himself as renowned fashion photographer, Damien Westwood who has a knack for spotting undiscovered talent. Damien saw Isabella's incredible potential, and her creations gave him a spark he hadn't had in a long time. He became her devoted supporter because he was determined to help her rule the fashion industry. They set out on a quest to introduce her brand to the globe together.

Isabella Reed's heart raced as darkness engulfed the backstage of her highly anticipated fashion show. The sudden power outage had plunged her team into chaos, leaving her dreams hanging in the balance. But Isabella refused to let despair overtake her. She had come too far to let a mere blackout shatter her determination.

With a flickering flashlight in hand, Isabella maneuvered through the labyrinthine corridors, her voice calling out to her scattered team. Panic and urgency mingled in the air, magnified by the stifling darkness. She couldn't afford to lose control. Not now.

As she approached a storage room, her flashlight flickered, illuminating a small crack in the wall. Curiosity and hope surged within her, urging her to investigate. Peering through the crack, Isabella witnessed a clandestine meeting-an alliance of deception that extended far beyond stolen designs.

Richard Mallory, a prominent figure in the fashion industry, stood at the center, surrounded by shadowy accomplices. Their hushed whispers carried a sinister edge, chilling Isabella to the core.

"I thought we silenced her," Richard's voice dripped with annoyance and frustration. "But she's more resilient than we anticipated."

Isabella's grip on the flashlight tightened as she strained to catch every word, her mind racing to comprehend the magnitude of the conspiracy. The stolen designs were just the tip of the iceberg. Darker secrets loomed, threatening the integrity of the entire industry she loved.

She withdrew from the crack, her mind ablaze with questions. Who were these figures, and what lengths were they willing to go to protect their secrets? Isabella knew she had stumbled upon a web of corruption that extended far beyond her dreams. She had to expose the truth, even if it meant putting everything on the line.

As she turned to leave the storeroom, a chill ran down her spine. The sound of approaching footsteps echoed through the darkness, growing closer by the second. Isabella's breath caught in her throat as she sought an escape route, her mind racing against time.

Just as despair threatened to seep into Isabella's bones, a commotion erupted from outside the room. Shouts and the sound of scuffling footsteps grew louder, shattering the tension in the air. A moment of hope sparked within her as she realized that help had arrived.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

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.
