Chapter 1 PROLOGUE

❦❦❦

"Runo, have you finished packing your things?" I heard the voice of one of the nuns working in this orphanage outside of my bedroom, so I quickly opened the door and smiled at her.

"Yes, sister," I replied as I pulled my luggage out of the room I had used for nineteen years. I bid my goodbyes to everyone from the orphanage and rode a bus that passed by a terminal, where I'll be riding a cab to my new workplace.

I, Runo Kaelynn Alberona, have been an orphan since I was born. I haven't met any of my parents or siblings; all I have as parents are the nuns and priests caring for the other children, who became my siblings and me since we arrived in this orphanage.

And today is the day I must leave this place since I have already reached the age of nineteen and the legal age to work. I am no longer allowed to stay here. However, I only finished high school and didn't plan to attend college anymore due to financial problems. Hence, the Head-Nun sent me to work as a maid in a prestigious and wealthy family, the Lockhart family. I'll be staying there while working under the supervision of the four Lockhart siblings.

I have made up my mind. While working in that family, I have to earn enough money to start a business. Then, I will have a stable source of income for myself and enough budget to search for my biological parents, who left me in that orphanage nineteen years ago.

Starting now, I no longer have anyone to rely on except myself.

As I reminded myself of that reality, I took a deep breath and stared at the massive gate before me.

"You can do this, Kaelynn!" I cheered myself and pressed the doorbell, not knowing the secrets and mysteries behind that gate when I first stepped into the Lockhart's territory.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

I had been a wife for exactly six hours when I woke up to the sound of my husband’s heavy breathing. In the dim moonlight of our bridal suite, I watched Hardin, the man I had adored for years, intertwined with my sister Carissa on the chaise lounge. The betrayal didn't come with an apology. Hardin stood up, unashamed, and sneered at me. "You're awake? Get out, you frumpy mute." Carissa huddled under a throw, her fake tears already welling up as she played the victim. They didn't just want me gone; they wanted me erased to protect their reputations. When I refused to move, my world collapsed. My father didn't offer a shoulder to cry on; he threatened to have me committed to a mental asylum to save his business merger. "You're a disgrace," he bellowed, while the guards stood ready to drag me away. They had spent my life treating me like a stuttering, submissive pawn, and now they were done with me. I felt a blinding pain in my skull, a fracture that should have broken me. But instead of tears, something dormant and lethal flickered to life. The terrified girl who walked down the aisle earlier that day simply ceased to exist. In her place, a clinical system—the Valkyrie Protocol—booted up. My racing heart plummeted to a steady sixty beats per minute. I didn't scream. I stood up, my spine straightening for the first time in twenty years, and looked at Hardin with the detachment of a surgeon looking at a tumor. "Correction," I said, my voice stripped of its stutter. "You're in my light." By dawn, I had drained my father's accounts, vanished into a storm, and found a bleeding Crown Prince in a hidden safehouse. They thought they had broken a mute girl. They didn't realize they had just activated their own destruction.
