Chapter 1 A New Beginning in the City

Emily stepped off the train and onto the busy platform of the city she now calls home. The rush of traffic and thousands of conversations replaced the peaceful quiet of his small town. Buildings have been built on it, and the windows reflect the golden rays of the sun. It was a stark contrast to the familiar environment she grew up in, but Emily couldn't help but feel a thrill run through her veins. He hailed a cab and hurriedly sat in the back seat, watching the city streets go by. He felt as if he had entered a new world, full of much-desired energy and vitality.

The cab driver looked at him through the rearview mirror and saw sparks fly from his eyes and fear cross his face. "Are you new in town?" he asked warmly. Emily nodded impatiently. "Yes, I just moved here. I want to find out soon!"

The driver said, "You have chosen a good city. Do I serve you here?

"I got a scholarship to study abroad." Emily explained in a voice full of pride and excitement. "I will go to college here and follow my dreams."

The taxi driver nodded with a grateful expression. "Congratulations! An adventure awaits you. This city has a way of captivating people and making their dreams come true."

As Emily walked the streets of the city, she was in awe of the sight before her. There were skyscrapers reaching up to the clouds, markets full of smells filled with smells and colorful street art adorning the walls of the buildings. The city was alive with a dynamic energy that piqued his interest and awakened possibilities.

A few minutes later, the taxi pulled up in front of a nice apartment complex. It was a lively neighborhood with cafes and boutiques lining the streets. Emily paid her bill, packed her bags, and stepped out onto the sidewalk to enjoy the lively atmosphere. When he entered the block, he couldn't help but feel the excitement in his stomach. It was the first time I lived alone, away from the comfort and familiarity of family and friends. However, he realized that he had to take this step in order to fulfill his dream.

Emily's new apartment is cozy and inviting with large windows letting in lots of natural light. He unpacked and carefully placed his books and personal treasures on the shelf. Looking around, he felt a sense of accomplishment and independence that he had never experienced before. Loving her new surroundings, Emily decided to take a walk and explore her surroundings. He strolled the busy streets and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the bustling city. The smell of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air and drew him to the charming cafe.

Inside, I ordered a latte and sat at a corner booth to watch the people around me. The cafe was buzzing with chatter, the clinking of cups and plates and the sound of soft music in the background. He felt at home in this vibrant environment, surrounded by strangers but part of something bigger. Emily grabs a notebook and pen and draws inspiration from her new surroundings. As a writer, he saw a story in everything: the smile of a barista, the hurried steps of a passerby and a laugh among friends. He decided to capture the essence of the city and turn it into his own story, transcribing fragments of conversations and observations.

Days turned into weeks, and Emily settled into a new rhythm of her life. She began her studies at university and embraced the opportunity to learn, grow and connect with like-minded people. The city, which offers a variety of cultures, became his playground. He visited art galleries, attended concerts and explored the various neighborhoods that make up this vibrant tapestry.

But amid the excitement and adventure, there were also moments when Emily felt homesick. Late at night, when the town fell silent, his mind wandered to the familiar streets of Willowbrook, the soothing presence of family and friends. He misses the simplicity of small town life, the warmth of familiar faces and the peace that comes with it. In moments of longing, Emily remembered the dream she had longed for and the path she had chosen. He learned that growth and change required certain sacrifices, and that homesickness reminded him of the love and relationships he left behind. As the months passed, Emily began to build a network of friends who supported her in this new chapter of her life. They shared late study hours, adventures that made them laugh, and personal stories that helped Emily navigate the challenges and uncertainties of big city life. Together they discover hidden gems, cherish local traditions, and create a bond that transcends their diverse backgrounds.

And despite the hustle and bustle of city life, Emily felt refreshed. He discovered his passion, honed his talents and slowly began to find his place in the world. The city became his canvas and he painted his dreams on the streets. Chapter 1 was the beginning of Emily's journey of self-discovery, growth, and forging her own path. The city embraced him with open arms and filled his days with joys, challenges and countless opportunities. It was a new beginning in her life, a new chapter of promise and possibility.

When Emily closed her eyes that night, she felt a deep sense of gratitude and satisfaction. He knew the road ahead would be full of twists and turns, but he was ready to face it head-on, armed with the resilience and determination that had brought him this far. So he fell asleep. His heart yearned to dive deeper into the adventures of his life in anticipation of what lay ahead.

I sat on the cold tile floor of our Upper East Side penthouse, staring at the two pink lines until my vision blurred. After ten years of loving Julian Sterling and three years of a hollow marriage, I finally had the one thing that could bridge the distance between us. I was pregnant. But Julian didn't come home with flowers for our anniversary. He tossed a thick manila envelope onto the marble coffee table with a heavy thud. Fiona, the woman he'd truly loved for years, was back in New York, and he told me our "business deal" was officially over. "Sign it," He said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He looked at me with the cold detachment of a man selling a piece of unwanted furniture. When I hesitated, he told me to add a zero to the alimony if the money wasn't enough. I realized in that moment that if he knew about the baby, he wouldn't love me; he would simply take my child and give it to Fiona to raise. I shoved the pregnancy test into my pocket, signed the papers with a shaking hand, and lied through my teeth. When my morning sickness hit, I slumped to the floor to hide the truth. "It's just cramps," I gasped, watching him recoil as if I were contagious. To make him stay away, I invented a man named Jack-a fake boyfriend who supposedly gave me the kindness Julian never could. Suddenly, the man who wanted me gone became a monster of possessiveness. He threatened to "bury" a man who didn't exist while leaving me humiliated at his family's dinner to rush to Fiona's side. I was so broken that I even ate a cake I was deathly allergic to, then had to refuse life-saving steroids at the hospital because they would harm the fetus. Julian thinks he's stalling the divorce for two months to protect the family's reputation for his father's Jubilee. He thinks he's keeping his "property" on a short leash until the press dies down. He has no idea I'm using those sixty days to build a fortress for my child. By the time he realizes the truth, I'll be gone, and the Sterling heir will be far beyond his reach.

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

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."
