Written Hearts Chapter 1 Revisiting The Past

Emily had always been a dreamer. From the time she was a little girl, she had an insatiable curiosity about the world, and her imagination knew no bounds. Growing up in the picturesque town of Willowbrook, nestled in the heart of the United States, she often found herself gazing out of her bedroom window, wondering what lay beyond the horizon.

As a child, Emily had been enchanted by her grandfather's stories. He had been a world traveler, a man who had explored distant lands and brought back tales of adventure and discovery. Emily would spend hours sitting at his feet, wide-eyed and captivated by his descriptions of far-off places, cultures, and people. It was from her grandfather that she had inherited her love for storytelling and her passion for art.

Now, at the age of seventeen, Emily was on the cusp of adulthood. She had just graduated from Willowbrook High School, and the world lay before her, full of promise and uncertainty. She had been accepted into a prestigious art school in New York City, a place she had always dreamed of visiting. It was an opportunity that excited and terrified her in equal measure.

On a warm summer day, Emily stood in the dusty attic of her childhood home, surrounded by cardboard boxes and forgotten relics of the past. Her parents were busy in the living room, discussing the logistics of her impending move to the city. They were excited for her but also worried, as any parents would be when their child left the nest.

Emily, however, was lost in a world of nostalgia. She had always been sentimental, and today, as she rummaged through old mementos, she couldn't help but smile at the memories they invoked. There were faded photographs of family vacations, souvenirs from her grandfather's travels, and a dusty box that contained a collection of handwritten letters.

Curiosity piqued, Emily carefully opened the box and found herself staring at a stack of envelopes tied together with a faded ribbon. She recognized her own handwriting on some of them, though it had clearly evolved over the years. The letters were addressed to someone named Alex.

Her heart skipped a beat as she remembered. Alex was her childhood pen pal, a friend she had corresponded with for several years. They had been assigned as pen pals in the third grade as part of a school project, and their friendship had blossomed through handwritten letters and later, emails. They had shared their dreams, their fears, and the intricacies of their lives, even though they had never met in person.

But somewhere along the way, their letters had grown less frequent, and eventually, they had lost touch. Emily couldn't quite recall when or why it had happened. Life had a way of getting in the way, she supposed.

She carefully untied the ribbon and began to read the first letter. It was dated several years ago, and the words were filled with the innocence of youth. Alex had written about his adventures in Europe, describing the grandeur of ancient cities and the taste of exotic foods. Emily's heart swelled with nostalgia as she read her own response, sharing stories of her small-town life and her dreams of becoming an artist.

The more she read, the more she felt transported back in time. It was as though the attic had become a portal to her past, and she was reliving those precious moments of connection with Alex. She read through the letters, tracing the evolution of their friendship through words on paper.

Emily's parents called her from downstairs, interrupting her journey down memory lane. She carefully placed the letters back in the box, tied them with the faded ribbon, and tucked the box under her arm. As she descended the narrow attic stairs, she couldn't shake the feeling that she had stumbled upon something significant.

In the living room, her parents were discussing the logistics of her move to New York City, but Emily's mind was elsewhere. She excused herself, retreated to her room, and closed the door behind her.

Sitting at her desk, she pulled out her laptop and logged into her email account. It had been years since she had used it to correspond with Alex, but she had a hunch. She typed his name into the search bar and hit enter.

To her surprise, an email address popped up-one that she hadn't used in years. It was an old address, one that she had almost forgotten. It was Alex's email address.

Her heart raced as she clicked on it, hoping against hope that it was still active. A draft of an unsent email from years ago appeared on the screen. She quickly composed a new message, her fingers trembling with excitement.

"Dear Alex," she began, "I hope this email finds you well. It's been a long time since we last corresponded, but I recently stumbled upon our old letters, and I couldn't help but think of you. I hope you remember me, and I hope you're still out there exploring the world. I would love to hear from you again."

She hit send and stared at the screen, her heart pounding. What if he had moved on? What if he didn't remember her? But as she waited for a response, a glimmer of hope filled her heart. The past was coming alive once more, and Emily couldn't wait to see where it would lead.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.
